Probably the sickest live album ever recorded. Performed in 1971, The Who released the copy of the
CD on record designed to make it look like a bootleg copy. While the original featured all of the tracks performed including
Tommy in its entirety, the tape and
CD featured less, and now the current
CD features five stinking tracks. Pathetic.
But don'
t let that stop you from taking a look at the original. With the best performance of My Generation that there ever will be, ever, a seven minute
long Magic Bus, the greatest performance of
Tommy ever, and many other songs dating back to The Who's rise to fame and their blues roots(Summertime Blues, Shakin' All Over), this album is DEFINITELY a necessity to your
CD/record collection. Don't download it, buy the full thing.
The Who will always be known as a bookmark in the book of amazing and mind-blowing live performances, and even in the entire history of music. They set the bar high, and few if any have succeeded in reaching that
bar. This album is a stepping stone towards achieving a new musical
nirvana.
