No kidding...! Now, I have seen videos online of Entwistle playing "Baba O Riley" and "Won't Get Fooled Again" with the rest of the band muted out, does the DVD have more tunes in that fashion?

No, that's pretty much it.
Still a very cool movie, fun to watch over and over.

Matt, would Amazing Journey be worth buying in your estimation? What Dennis said about TKAA is on the mark. Excellent film. I just wish there was a bit more of Entwistle interview wise. Obviously Pete is featured the most. I was fortunate enough to see the Who in 76 before Keith died and they were great. Toots and the Maytels opened and I felt sorry for them. The audience was not into the reggae they did as you can imagine.

I wish there was more of Entwistle too.
I also am curious about the Amazing Journey.

I would say it is worth buying, yes.
Basicly it's a lot like the Beatles Anthology going back to the childhood days (cue black and white photos with a Glen Miller tune playing in the background) to the birth of the band right to the present. There's quite a few good concert clips, and some great stories. As I mentioned earlier the celebrity interviews are kinda silly (Sting, Eddie Vedder, Noel Gallagher) they pretty much all say the same thing.... "Man, that band is soo effing awesome. I effing love their effing music, great effing musicianship etc etc etc". My favorite quote was from Noel, to the effect of:
"Man, what the eff was up with Entwistle's skeleton costume? I mean, what the eff was up with that?"
What's really cool is the 2nd disc which contains a full concert of the band when they were known as "The High Numbers." Very very very cool and historical footage.
The Best Buy version comes with a 3rd disc containing a concert recorded in 1979 but I have yet to watch that one.
As a disclaimer however, I haven't yet seen the Kids are Alright doc, so the Amazing Journey might all out suck compared to TKAA.

"It was the eighties..."
This is always a good telltale sign the story being told is about to go wrong.
Horribly wrong.

we are much cooler in the zeroes than we were in the 80s. 
yea, back in the 80s, i wore leg warmers and braided barrettes in the early 80s, and went to another extreme with the big hair in the late 80s. i though guys with big hair (not just long, i still like that) and makeup were soooooooo good looking. i think i got into every trend in the 80s. what were we thinking?

excellent quote!
the 2 musicians that first come to mind that I took personal pause when I heard of their deaths when they happened were Stevie Ray Vaughan and Rich Mullins
i was too young to really know what was going on when elvis and lennon died, but if i wasn't they wouldn't have quite rated as pauseworthy as vaughn and mullins in my personal book. i remember them covering elvis' death on tv and thinking of the footage "it's a fat guy in a gold suit, why are all those girls screaming?". I remember thinking of lennon "a funny-looking long-haired guy with sunglasses". (and yes, I had heard some of their records.)
i wasn't into CCM when Heard died, either and due to ongoing life events didn't find out about Gene Eugene until some time after his death.

i didn't quite buy the 80's hair (although br's hair in high school was pretty killer). the most i did to try to look cool was get a tie-dye hendrix t-shirt with stonewashed jeans.
a guilty pleasure for me is some of the 80's melodic hard rock in the glam vein. I really liked Dokken (as much George Lynch as anything) and still do. it's hit or miss for me. Bon Jovi, RATT, Poison were just OK to me - if they were on the radio I wouldn't change it.
before it got too bad I started listening to older music and got hendrix, zeppelin, etc. I think I was born a generation later than I should have been

For some reason my highschool mostly listened to Zeppelin Doors etc, and I was there from 85-90. I remember the first time I heard REM, it gave me hope for the new music, that and U2 I guess, but REM seemed to come out of nowhere, though now I know better.
