Here’s a cool look behind the scenes of a video shoot for Maximo Park’s new single “The Kids Are Sick Again”:
The long awaited The Who: At Kilburn: 1977 will be available on DVD & Blu-Ray from Image Entertainment on November 18th. The landmark performance is finally being released from the vault and showcases the band with all its original members in top form performing many of their biggest hits. See below for links to the trailer and a link to promo shots. I have copies of the DVD available for release and giveaway, please let me know if you’re interested in featuring The Who: At Kilburn on Watch Mojo.
Check out the Trailer:
One of the greatest rock bands of all time, The Who defined modern music for the past four decades. Now after years of anticipation, some of their most unforgettable moments can finally be experienced with THE WHO: AT KILBURN: 1977, releasing on a two-disc DVD and single-disc Blu-Ray set November 18 from Image Entertainment.
Newly mastered in high-definition with state-of-the-art sound for a spectacular home theater experience, the December 15, 1977 Kilburn show at the Gaumont State Theater in North London was recorded before a select audience for Jeff Stein’s hit film about The Who, The Kids Are Alright, but only a few brief selections of what would prove to be legendary drummer KEITH MOON’s public swan song were ever seen in the finished feature. Captured on 35mm with six cameras and a 16-track audio recorder, the complete Kilburn show features Moon and the rest of the band’s classic line-up — singer ROGER DALTREY, guitarist/singer PETE TOWNSEND, and bassist JOHN ENTWISTLE–in top form with many of their biggest hits.
Also included in this release is another never-before-seen show and one of the band’s favorites, their 1969 London Coliseum performance, which comes with a wealth of additional bonus tracks and boasts the first-ever full live recording of their groundbreaking rock opera, Tommy. With a total of 29 classic The Who songs, this pivotal release has long been at the top of rock fans’ wish lists and has been regarded as a lost “holy grail” for followers of The Who since Moon’s passing. This release will occur in conjunction with major, high-profile airings of the Kilburn show as a Fall 2007 pledge drive title with heavy promotion on PBS.
Currently on tour through November 2008, THE WHO have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the UK Music Hall of Fame and won the first annual Freddie Mercury Lifetime Achievement in Live Music Award and a GRAMMY® Foundation award for creative contributions of outstanding artistic significance to the field of recording. Their albums Tommy, My Generation and Who’s Next have been inducted into the GRAMMY Hall of Fame.

Check out Stereogum today to listen to “Echoes Round The Sun” from Paul Weller’s new album ‘22 Dreams’ (July 22, Yep Roc). Weller co-wrote the song with Oasis’ Noel Gallagher. The song is brilliant, a shimmering blast of pure energy, destined to join The Verve’s “Bittersweet Symphony” and The Chemical Brothers’ “Setting Sun” as an instant anthem of British rock. See below to hear what Paul has to say about writing and recording “Echoes Round The Sun.”
“Noel came down to the studio with this loop he’d never been able to do anything with. He played the bass and the piano and then Gem played guitar on top. I extemporised some vocals over the top. In song writing terms, it’s the first Weller/Gallagher collaboration. It’s a top tune.”
Paul Weller will tour the U.S. later this year. Stay tuned for more information.
