The Who At Kilburn: 1977 is a 2008 DVD of English rock and roll band The Who. The film features the full concert at Gaumont State Cinema in Kilburn on December 15th, 1977 as well as the London Coliseum concert on December 14th, 1969.[1] The Kilburn show was recorded for Jeff Stein's documentary film The Kids Are Alright and was The Who's first show in over a year. However, due to sound problems, it was canned for over 30 years, with only two small portions of the whole gig actually made it to The Kids Are Alright - Pete saying "There's a guitar up here, if any big-mouthed little git wants to come up and fucking take it off me"; and when all four members of the band meet in the center of the stage after the conclusion of the show. "My Wife", however, made it to the soundtrack of The Kids Are Alright, albeit without any sound restoration, and slightly shortened.

It includes their first ever live performance of "Who Are You", which would also be their last performance of the song with Moon on stage.
