The WV posted concert summary has a major mistake and a slight omission.

The Who did record and release two songs by The Rolling Stones in 1967. Unfortunately, neither was "Fortune Teller." The 45 featured "The Last Time" b/w "Under My Thumb."

Also, while "Relax" is noted as incomplete, no mention is made of the fact that "A Quick One While He's Away" is also incomplete. The first part of the song is missing and begins with the Ivar the Engine Driver section.

As far as the show is concerned, this often booted concert is THE FINEST pre-Tommy show by The Who. The group's power didn't kick into full gear until 1971, when they were at their touring peak. If you were fortunate enough to see them in 1971-72, you saw and heard the greatest band to ever take the stage.

Thanks WV for bringing all these shows to us!

Thanks for the clairification - I will point one of our editors at this thread!

I am moving this thread to the Who performer forum, as we are migrating all of the concert forums to be performer forums. Sorry for any confusion this might cause.

They ran out of tape which is why there are the gaps in Rael/Relax and A Quick One.

I saw them several times from 69-71, when Tommy was released and Who's Next. I still think that the strongest set I saw was their Quadrophenia tour - the original Fallout Shelter tour. Pete and Co. played with a vengence because of all the problems and the Philly show was the best of that very short tour with no technical problems.

yeah, that 73 philly show is awesome even if the best sounding source is incomplete. The final ones in London-boots are called Merry Christmas Mr Who are equally good but SQ sucks-Are there any other 73 shows in good SQ out there?-the other ones I have aren't that great. BTW, check out longliverock dot org for Who downloads (audio and video). Pete has oked this site.

What a kick listening to this show.

I was lucky enough to be in the FE audience that night, with my camera, too. I was fifteen and had seen them for the first time the year before at Murray the K's Easter Show at the RKO 57th Street. Great memories.

A few months later, in August, they opened for the Doors at the Singer Bowl. I brought the April 6 Fillmore East pictures with me and got backstage with my girlfriend by showing them to Roger. He told me that he loved the shots and asked all sorts of technical questions. I was in heaven. Such a friendly guy.
He even invited us both to their Central Park concert the following week. That was another amazing performance.

The following year, Bill Graham used one of my backstage Keith Moon photos in a FE concert program.

The Who suck!!! Its a joke they are the top rated Concert...Bullshit

I think the mighty Cream played the Murray the K's shows too. Did you get to see them?

Yeah, Cream (they were in NYC recording Disrali Gears) opened for the Who at that Murray the K Easter Show. About eight acts performed around five shows a day between showings of an awful black and white Brittish film. The groups did one or two songs each.

Cream always played I'm So Glad and I Feel Free. Then the Who would come on and do Happy Jack and My Generation. I stayed for several shows. This was the real thing. Mitch Ryder's band opened and so did Wilson Picket.

This all took place a few months before Monterey Pop.

 

jakcap.....U R A JAKOFF.......

Yeah lenscap! Wasn't that Singer Bowl show weird? A revolving stage which got stuck on and off. I remember being grossed out that the Who were OPENING for the Doors, but even more p.o.'d by Morrison's morbid drunkenness. We left after he sat down on the stage - beat the crowd on the subway at least.

I couldn't get enough of the Who in the pre-Tommy days. They had a sonic attack like nobody else then. I mean Dylan (66) and the Velvets were loud, and a few bands stacked alot of Marshalls, but Pete and John had all that and a groove as well.

Hey jakcap

With so much GREAT music out there, we all have the choice of listening to what we like and just shutting off  & NOT listening to what we don't like.  I respect what you choose to love and listen to and even if I DON'T LIKE IT - I RESPECT YOUR RIGHT TO LIKE IT and not criticize you for it......so please give us the same respect.  One man's Beatles is another man's Stones............. Don't like it?  That's why there's a choice and also an "OFF" button. 

Peace out.....

I see things like this all over the internet and I usually assume its some twelve year old trying to act 'big' in front of the adults. Hopefully these forums won't turn into one of those places where people just come to slam everyone. Hopefully we can bask in the wonders of WV and act like adults. It seems that respecting others has become a lost art.

man....what a show that must've been. Don't know how many of you are aware of this, but on a two disc remaster of "Who's Next", there is a fairly large amount of tracks from the 1970-71 "Young Vic" shows prior to the recording of "Who's Next".
