Note: (*) songs with Pete on acoustic. Who ever thought we
would hear the Who like this again? Loud, agressive, in-your-face, right and
tight, this is a BAND, not three guys and assorted hired hands. It doesnt' hurt
that this is an excellent, above average audience recording, that rivals some
soundboards. Recorded close up, the sound is full range, rich and warm, very
listenable. And the band is clearly enjoying themselves, Pete teasing the crowd
by announcing a "new" song and then launching into Who classics, Roger
performing an a cappella version of "the Seeker" to satisfy a persistent fan.
This is better than rock and roll at its best - this is the WHO, up close and in
your face. Highly recommended.
