An early love, now rekindled

 

THE HIGH NUMBERS- LIVE 1964. Contains a show from October 20, 1964 and then seven studio tracks from an Abbey Road session a few days later. A bit a of a mess if you ask me.

BBC SESSIONS 1965-1971 (Remastered and Complete)  (3)  Kicky collection of BBC studio performances intersperses with interviews.   A Potpouiri of stuff from Top of the Pops and other things.   It's alot of fun, pretty fascinating as you see the beautiful animal emerge from the egg.

JIGSAW PUZZLE.   The Soniclovenoize Reconstruction of what was begun to be the third album.

SMOTHERS BROTHERS COMEDY HOUR, September 17, 1967, LA.   The two song performance that destroyed Pete's ear. 

APRIL 5 OR 6, 1968.  Filmore East, New York City.  Excellent sound boarder of and with a band who has something to prove.

LIVE AT LEEDS COMPLETE (2) Wow, it's the grand tamale. All the songs and quite an immense performance. You truly can grasp the enormity of their musical talents.

APRIL 6, 1969. Filmore East, NYC. Hard rocking soundboard.

WOODSTOCK 1969 - REMASTERED 2002. August 17, 1969. Bootleg version of the famed performance. Hey Abbie, fuck off.

WINDMILL IN AMSTERDAM. September 29, 1969, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Wired off a soundboard this is a radio broadcast that purports to be the first live performance of Tommy. My god, the tunes are so familiar, to me The Who are like an old girlfriend you see at your high school reunion. It's enjoyable, but no wonder you moved on.

THE WHO REMEMBERS THE HIGH NUMBERS. A bit of a dodgy listen - much sounding mono and other stuff just sounding mediocre at best. Still kind of interesting and fits snugly on my shelf.

SOUNDBOARD HIGHLIGHTS 1969. Good stuff here.

PURE ROCK THEATRE. Another version of above show.

LOVE CRY WANT. December 4, 1969. Bristol, England. A think soundboard, but still gets the job done.

NO FIDDLESTICKS. (2) January 1970, Paris, France. A smudgy soundboard, the band soars through it.

LIVE AT LEEDS (2) February 14, 1970 (2) Leeds, England. Here's the whole enchilada and apparently a complete version as opposed to anything released.

JULY 7, 1970 (2) Tanglewood. Lenox, Massachusetts. Bill Graham brings Tommy to Tanglewood. Must have been quite a concept at the time. Soundboard.

ORCHESTRAL TOMMY. (2)  December 9, 1972, London.  Performance with the London Symphony Orchestra.  This is the apparently the more difficult to find to show of the two they peformed on that day.   Plenty of guests.

SPECTRUM 1973. December 4, 1973. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Excellent soundboard.

DECEMBER 6, 1973. Washington, DC. King Biscuit Flower Hour. Solid.

LIVE IN CHARLTON 1974 (2) London, May 18, 1974. Terrific rock and roll, soundboard.

LIVE IN HOUSTON 1975. (2) November 20, 1975. Houston, Texas. Jbeat-Remaster. Good hard rocking' stuff from this outfit in full glory.

PONTIAC SILVERDOME 1975 (2) December 6, 1975. Pontiac, Michigan. Another sound boarder.

WHOLIDAY IN CLEVELAND (2) December 9, 1975.  Sloppy soundboard, Has some speed problems, probably sourced from Vinyl.

ROCKPALAST. March 28/29, 1981. Essen, Germany. The men performing with Kenny Jones on drums. Perfect sound - literally no audience as this is a TV program.

OCTOBER 20,1982 (2)  Seattle, Washington.   Fine soundboard with a few deep cuts.

PORTLAND '82  (2)  October 21, 1982, Portland, Oregon.  Soundboard. Not a greatest hits show which is what we usually get, still you get quite a few of them.   Good stuff. 

DECEMBER 16, 1982 (2) Toronto, Canada.  Sweet sound boarder up North.  

DECEMBER 17, 1982 (2) Toronto, Canada. Excellent sound boarder. Closes out with Twist & Shout.

THE NIGHT BEFORE THE RESURRECTION (2) JUNE 16, 1989. Glen Falls, New York. Soundboard. Rock and roll baby.

TOMMY RADIO CITY. June 27, 1989 (2) Radio City Music Hall, New York City. You get Tommy and then the hits, soundboard.

AUGUST 24, 1989 (2) Universal Amphitheater. The first disc is Tommy with various guests - Steven Winwood, Elton, Patti LaBelle, Elton John - a bit overblown if you ask me and the second disc is a rocking Who only disc. Superb sound quality.

SEPTEMBER 3, 1989 (2) DALLAS, TEXAS. It's the last show of the tour and it's a good one. Soundboard.

JULY 18, 1996 (2) MSG, New York City. Radio broadcast, this is the Quadrophenia show with guests and then a couple at the end. Great sound and good stuff.

BLUES TO THE BUSH (2)  November 12/13, 1999 and December 22/23, 1999.  Consists a blend of two shows the First from the House of Blues in Chicago and the second Shepherd's Bush in London.  Supreme recordings. 

SUPERBOWL XLIV.  February 7, 2010.   The Medley from the half time show.  I was unimpressed as a viewer, not half bad as a listen. 

THE WHO. JUNE 27, 2000 (2) Detroit, Michigan. Another nice soundboard, hitting all their marks.

APRIL 7, 2015 (2) Miami, Florida. Soundboard. One more Final time. A thoroughly enjoyable greatest hits show. I caught a different night of the tour and can attest to it's power and spine tingling energy. It is, however, a representation of The Who, not a real rock and roll band, but a professional one.

MAY 17, 2015 (2) Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. A fun show from the The Who hits 50 tour. Soundboard.

GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL. June 28, 2015. Pilton, UK. Sourced from the Satellite Feed, the kids are alright. Enjoyable.

PETE:

THE WATERFORD HERRITAGE SESSIONS 1972.  6 Studio demos. 

THE GENUINE SCOOP (5) A big helping of Pete Demos recorded in his home studio in Chelsea. 1965-1975.

ASSORTED DEMOS 1960'S (MAYBE SOME EARLY 70'S). A single set of demos, various quality.

SECONDHAND LOVE.  Various rare tracks, B sides and ephemra. 

ODDS 'N' SODS VOL II. Pete noodling and narrating in his studio, demos and stuff of the like.

UNSURPASSED MASTER/ROUGH MIXES.  Various studio pieces from the Ronnie Lane & Pete Album.

APRIL 14, 1970. The Roundhouse, London. This was Pete's first ever live show which he wrote about in his autobiography. A pretty cool performance, he played a demo of "My Generation" for the audience. What slays me is the relationship between audience and artist. Special

PETE TOWNSEND. APRIL 14, 1974. London. Supposedly Pete's 1st solo show. It's fun, certainly imperfect sound quality. Nice cover of "If I were a Carpenter."

LIVE IN MIDEM. Cannes, France 1986. Quiet radio broadcast finishing with a short interview. Biggest flaw is that the vocals are burried a bit too deep.

JUNE 14, 1997 (2) Chicago, Illinois. Soundboard. Pete with one backing musician and a visit from Eddie Veddar. Fairly down to earth our Chairman.

AUGUST 15, 1998 (2) Bethel, New York. Woodstock 98, back at the farm, Pete brings a little band and does his thing. Great soundboard showing all of Pete's skills and charms.

VH! STORYTELLERS.  March 23, 2000. London, UK.  Enjoyable talk and music.   

THE WHO.  MARCH 4, 2022 (2). London, England.   Sweet later career soundboard.
