Cineplex Entertainment has announced the one-night only showing of THE WHO - Live At The Isle Of Wight Festival 1970 concert as you have never seen it before, in High Definition (HD) and digital surround sound on Wednesday, February 18th, exclusively at select Cineplex Entertainment theatres across Canada.

"The Who is one of the greatest bands in the world and watching them perform on the giant screen coupled with our surround sound systems will make you feel as if you are on stage rocking with the band," said Pat Marshall, Vice-President, Communications and Investor Relations, Cineplex Entertainment. "We are pleased to partner with Eagle Rock Entertainment to bring The Who exclusively to Cineplex Entertainment theatres across Canada."

Originally shot on film in 1970 by Academy Award-winning director Murray Lerner, The Who - Live at the Isle of Wight Festival captures the band's high-energy performance in front of 600,000 festival-goers. This most dramatic moment in the history of hard rock is undoubtedly one of the band's most memorable performances ever.

Along with remixed sound, this concert footage has been digitally restored in HD to its highest quality. The track listing includes 'I Can't Explain', 'Summertime Blues', 'My Generation' and a complete live performance of The Who's classic rock opera Tommy, featuring 'Pinball Wizard'. As a special bonus, guests will enjoy a taped interview with Pete Townshend prior to the start of the film.

Advance tickets are available beginning Friday, February 6th online at www.cineplex.com as well as at participating theatre box offices. Admission for children ages 3 - 12 and seniors is $9.95 + tax and general admission is $10.95 + tax.

The Who - Live At The Isle Of Wight Festival will be released on Blu-ray on February 24th via Eagle Rock Entertainment. It will be available at The Cineplex Store for $19.99 and includes one free regular size popcorn voucher that can be redeemed at any Cineplex Entertainment theatre.
