Anecdotes
In addition to compiling rare clips, Jeff Stein arranged for The Who to film a concert for invited fans. The show, performed at Shepperton Film Studios in London on 25 May 1978, turned out to be Keith Moon's last concert with The Who before his death on 7 September at the age of 32.

Gaffes
Rick Danko of The Band is listed in the end credits as appearing in the film, even though his segment was deleted from the final print.

Citations
Roger Daltrey: My main ambition now is to get back on the road with the horrible Who. The worst Rock-n-Roll group in the world.
Interviewer: [off] The worst?
Roger Daltrey: Yes! You couldn't pick more - four more horrible geezers that make more - I mean, make the worst noise that you've ever heard in your life!

Crédits fous
Various clips of stage goodbyes from live appearances of The Who through the years are shown during the closing credits.

Versions alternatives
The version of the film that appears on Turner Classic Movies features The Who's Rock N' Roll Circus performance window-boxed and surrounded by flashing marquee lights in the manner of the film's original theatrical presentation.

Still Alright After All These Years

Jeff Stein's 'TKaA' introduced me to the dysfunctionally co-dependent family that was The Who in their more-than-full-volume, willfully insane glory days of Keith Moon. Their balls-to-the-walls, ear-shattering, finger-slashing, skull-splitting, hammers-of-hell, power-plus-volume blues-based rock & roll put their contemporaries deservedly to shame (Townsend didn't pull punches in his criticism) and set a high bar above all that wreckage which their successors have yet to reach.

It doesn't cover all of The Who's KM-era music (Quadrophenia, Who by Numbers) nor does it dig up the worst/best of the dirt (Daltrey repeatedly KO'ing a whiney Townsend over the years) but it captures as only a fan's we're-not-worthy devotion can the band's intense, sometimes-paranoid craziness as well as their self-knowing, self-mocking intelligence about their craziness -- and their true worth in the annals of rock & roll. Stein deserves a spot in Cleveland right next to them.
