The Who, Live At The Isle Of Wight Festival 1970. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

The question remains, just how do you ever fully capture the live gig to the point where it matches in the mind the near mythical status that it has been placed in. An impossible task, almost perfected across time, but one that is rarely 100% conjoined with reality and your own perception of the event that took place.

It perhaps is easier to enjoy a release, no matter how old, when it out of the realms of most who weren’t even born when the album was released, or when the gig took place. To look back with nostalgia is one thing, to immerse yourself in the history of the moment is to seek out what made the band in question such a force of nature.
