Shame no video of this. Great song!

Oh yeah that's a real classic isn't it? Hope your book isn't missing half of its pages.

GREAT `AUDIE'!!!! LOVE THE PHOTO TOO!!!! THANK YOU VERY KINDLY FOR THE GREAT POST!!!!!!!!

anything with the Fleetwood Mac/Greenie from this era?? so little footage of that incredible line- up

Incredible to hear some of the 'Goodbye Cream' performances on another mike. The 'Sitting On Top' album guitar signal was very thin at times(out-of-phase microphones, maybe????) .

Ty4Post Miister.

This is incredible. I had no idea this song was ever performed live.

JUST THE BEST EVER BAND

Fuck , the The Who were great For all of the negative things against Promoter Bill Graham , he didn’t really harm groups in the long term . Yeah , his demands on bands might have been tough financially eg 75 mile exclusion zone for performances and having two play twice in one night for 2-3 nights (just like the clubs that the Beatles played in while in Hamburg Germany) but the Fillmore, Fillmore West and Fillmore East and later Winterland were great bases for NEW bands to build a following , especially the European groups . Do remember rock bands were still looked down upon in 1968-1972 by the police, mayors and some concert venues It’s not like the British bands had huge halls in Britain . Bar Wembley arena , all their indoor venues at the time could only do under 3,000 . The big bands started to use Earls Court (15 to 20,000 ) but that was rare and it wasn’t a great venue acoustically So for some like the Rolling Stones , they’d wait till the summer to do outdoor events . Of course travelling around Britain could take a day but America , christ a days travel and you are still in the same State. In the US , many Colleges and Universities had indoor event centres that could hold 10,000 plus . So for groups couldn’t attract such large grounds in one concert, Graham’s venues were ideal . Do several shows, find new fans and stay in a city for 2-3 nights .

I think this might be the greates live performance ever

Clapton was never the same after heroin. Sad.

Awww , now I want this on CDs

Clean this up and release it to fans worldwide!

I had the pleasure of talking to a chap who saw The Ooo many times from The Goldhawk, right up to the heady live animal band days of the early 70's. he told me that the first time he saw them, they played fairly routine, yet ragged pop usic type stuff. he said that when he saw them demo Tommy at some club gigs in the UK, they had gone from pop, to sounding like 'a metal dustbin (garbage can, for you in the USA) being cut in half with a chainsaw'. Sounds like a good night out, if you ask me!

Always loved this song, never knew they ever played it live.

Q

Wow! I saw them in LA on this tour

I'm convinced Keith was an alien dropped off in Wembley in 1946 and told to transform percussion as we know it. He was beamed up in '78. Job done.

THIS SOUNDS LIKE LIVE VOL.2....GRATITUDE...

Anyone who says Jack Bruce is not rock music's greatest bassist just needs to listen "N.S.U" here. There is also a furious version of "I'm So Glad" on their MSG shows in November 1968, where all of them just shine.

Amazing! Those drums……🥁

no audio wtf

Awful sound...

Were the Vagrants with Leslie West on this show?

H.S.A.S. Wolfgang's.

Doobie who what you see, friend. 🎉

They can recover flight recorders found on the ground of the oceans, and they reconstruct computer drives having been flattened by tanks - why does it seem to be impossible to bring these aural treasures to a far better sound quality? Is it a financial or a factual problem?

Was there one night.

Roger Daltrey's favourite Who song. One of mine too. Saw them live many times, but never heard them play it. Thanks for posting.

So you gonna release the full audio eventually?

They should have included segments of “Miles” as part of their improvised long jams throughout the career.

I'm really curious about Pete's rig in this photo. In Feb 1968 he would have been using the Sound City amps in the US for the first time, but there is no name plate on the amps (although the face plate matches up otherwise), which I have seen on all the Sound City heads. Also, is Pete using an ES-335 here? He was still a few months away from getting the SG Special at Manny's. At any rate, you can hear him on the cusp of his truly great tone.

I cant believe it. First time hearing this..always wanted to. My god those chords sound massive.

"Let the place burn down!" -edgy 1969 guy

And not even at the bands Apex ,what energy they had on stage ,you don’t see this often these days with new live performances.

Thanks Edoardo! Spiffing stuff! I was there when this happened. On a date with a high school teacher! We drove into the city from upstate NY. New Paltz. She was bowled over by the Who. She had never seen anything like it. Well NOBODY had! She had been a strict folkie, but the boys got to her. As I remember, we started smelling smoke, then it got thicker and we began to see it. Then came the “altercation” with the cop. Soon after that we exited out the doors onto 6th Street and shortly after that the Who came out of the stage doors just up the way. Keith Moon had a wine bottle he drained and threw the empty across the street up onto the fire escape busting it into tiny pieces. A real crowd pleaser. I was 17 years old and my life changed forever. Thanks again, Edoardo! I have your books as well. Great! Ciao, mio fratello!

Thanks Eduardo-this is pretty great -you can get some idea how EPIC the moment was. Pete in full windmill mode as the NYFD Chief strolls onstage amidst the smoke! The crowd went absolutely out of our minds when he kicked said chief. In a lifetime blessed with 1000s of concerts, THIS was IT.

Love this song

WOW..!! The later still 1st stage early truly mighty...."the WHO" w/ "Don't Look Away" while being.. HAPPY JACK'ed w/ "A Quick One While He's Away"...like BATMEN IN A "Heat Wave" less than 2yrs later "the WHO"..."LIVE at LEEDS" HARD-ROCK Prog'ed/RockN-ROLL LIVE-Legends and approx 3yrs later from this performance... "WHO's NEXT"....!! WOW!! and WOWSER!! ThankYOU 4 Posting aud/photos and ThankYOU "the WHO"..... Listening To You,.......I Get The MUSIC,......!!

Fantasic old gem, low solo but maybe for the best? Thanks a bunch for sharing!!

WHO QUIZ: - What song are playing?

Jeez! What a find. Thanks!

And on October 31 , 1969 the Kinetic Playground , Chicago , had a fire ( after the concert.) It was Iron Butterfly + The WHO. Both bands were long gone. Let's just say the fire had a LOT of help getting started .

There's any audio of the full concert?

Incredible ,this song is one of the least likely to be a live recording, enthwistles bass is glorious!

Amazing to see this!

This is the version of this Band that will endure, not the watered down pap of the post Quadrophina era. All hail Keith Moon

you wrote a book.......about a bootleg AUD ,,,,,,,,,,of a show that was...........let's see, what words am I looking for...........hmmm..........oh, a show like EVERY OTHER SHOW THEY PLAYED THAT YEAR so a non-soundboard, that sounds like it was recorded through a tin can, of a "good" cream show, was worth a BOOK? WTF, man. It's not that good of a show.

Sounds like shit. Overrated band. Boring, sloppy, drugged up jams that belong in a basement, not a theater.

So many eras of The Who. But 1967-1968 was hard rock a la Eddie Cochran
