Long before music videos carved out a spot in MTV's schedule, forward-thinking rock and roll bands like the Who were making short films and clips to accompany their music. "The Kids Are Alright" is the impressive result of Who fan Jeff Stein being allowed access to the band's 15-year visual history. The film is interspersed with concert footage, studio shots, and TV appearances that span the period from 1964 to 1979. Stein created a film that is a simultaneous celebration of a living band, and a celluloid eulogy to late, great drummer Keith Moon. To experience the Who in concert is to really experience the Who, and this movie captures their raw power well.
