    In more ways than one, these renditions fulfill the duo’s ambition to avoid just cranking out the hits.

    Most of the extraneous contributions are little more than negligible. ... Any live album that showcases their classics—and, as in this case, makes room for some newer offerings as well (“All and Chain,” “Tea and Theatre,” “Hero Ground Zero”) is, by degree, an essential additive to the band’s continuing catalog. So too, both Daltrey and Townsend are in fine form, and clearly up to the task of presenting the group’s catalog in the best light.

    While a valuable document for nostalgic attendees, is, unsurprisingly, a hit-and-miss affair. [Summer 2023, p.74]

    For all the widescreen grandeur and fresh perspectives of the orchestral arrangements, they're curiously at their most rousing when just voice and acoustic guitar embellish "Won't Get Fooled Again". [May 2023, p.38]

    I think they continue to sound great on this album. The orchestra is a good addition, that makes the album sound more alive. Pete TownshendI think they continue to sound great on this album. The orchestra is a good addition, that makes the album sound more alive. Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey were both around 75 when they performed this concert and it amazes me every time how well they sound at this age. It's of course not in the same category at how they sounded at "Live at Leeds" but it sounds still pretty good. They also play most of their most famous songs in addition to some of their newer work, which make this album worth listening to. Full Review »
