WHO - CINCINATTI 1979 SUPER 8 FILM (DVD-R)

Description

Riverfront Coliseum, Cincinnati, OH, USA 3rd December 1979 AMAZING SHOT!!!
　The Who’s 1979 Cincinnati concert is remembered for the tragedy that occurred when fans waiting outside the venue mistook the sound of the soundcheck for the start of the concert, causing a stampede through the only open entrance, resulting in 11 deaths. Amazingly, footage of the concert has been unearthed.
　This incredibly historic footage was released by the YouTube account “CLASSIC ROCK MEDIA ARCHIVE,” which has previously unearthed a variety of rare 8mm footage.
　It was shot in 8mm from the second floor, but it is very easy to see, and the audience recording from the day has been dubbed (the sound quality is also quite good), making it even easier to see.
　As is well known, the disaster occurred before the concert began, and The Who were not informed, so the concert went on as scheduled. As evidenced by the footage, the concert appeared to be operating as normal. Pete was so on-trend that he wrote in his autobiography, “I’ve never enjoyed playing as much as I did on this tour.”
　The view on stage is also nicely closed, so before “My Wife” you can see the MC who stops the firecrackers that Roger and Pete were famous for at the American concerts at the time, but from there you can see that they continued the live performance without knowing about the disaster.
　On the contrary, the video captures the Who’s signature crisp sound from 1979 onstage for nearly 30 minutes, making it well worth watching. It’s no surprise that after such a passionate performance, the news of the disaster before the show began would be shocking. That’s why fans around the world will be amazed to find footage of the show.
　The film begins with news footage reporting the incident, and the sense of urgency is still there, making it seem natural that Who would express his condolences on December 3rd.
　The bonus footage includes other Who footage posted by the same account. While none of them are as long as the Cincinnati footage, they’re all easy to watch and feature well-dubbed audio. The ’76 MSG footage is split into two sections on the speaker on the right side of the stage, but it still captures all the members, which is impressive.
　In the Denver concert of the same year, the camera captures Keith Moon doing a somersault as the band members appear on stage, and you can see that he has a beard. It’s interesting to see the cameraman filming the concert live.
　The final 1980 St. Paul performance was shot in front of the stage, with a fairly close angle for an 8mm video at the time, making it very impressive. It was hilarious to see Pete flip over after failing to land from a jump during “My Wife.”
　But the discovery of the live footage from the day of the tragedy is truly historic. The sight of the Who performing with such fervor, unaware of what was going on, is almost heartbreaking. This is astonishing footage!
