The Who

The Vegas Job: Reunion Concert Live in Vegas (Passport Video)

Oh, the irony! The Who pulls out all of the stops during "Won't Get Fooled Again" – Roger Daltrey's microphone lasso, Pete Townshend's windmill strum – while falling victim to the multimillion-dollar hoax that was Pixelon.com. It's a shame this October 1999 concert wasn't seen by "one billion" people as promised. It has to be one of the band's best post-Keith Moon live performances – strictly the hits – though the production lags in comparison to Live at the Royal Albert Hall. John Entwistle's "My Wife" and the dueling solos in "5:15" are surprising highlights. Take a bow for the new revolution. ***
