Description
LPs have some hazing (or rash) from some plastic inner sleeves they sat in for many years. Both LPs have been spin-cleaned and put into new paper sleeves. I'm considering them G+ as a conservative grading. Both LPs do have slight warps but that did not affect tracking on my set-up. I did not test the entirety of the set but it seemed to play fine. It's an audience recording so don't expect anything audiophile here. However, it appears to be an original with one label acting like it's something else. I would guess this is a late 70's pressing since that fake label claims it's disco related. LPs have been housed in a new generic sleeve along with original print as the cover sheet.
Here are some notes I found about this release:
Venue: Unknown
Recording: Audience
Comments: Ed Hanel's The Who The Illustrated Discography as well as Hot Wacks
list this one as Live at Dallas Memorial Stadium, September 1969. The Who did
not play Dallas that month. More than likely, this is from June 19, 1970. Throughout
the entire show there’s a lot of audible audience chatter, sometimes over the band!
Keith Moon's drums are at times barely audible. However, the group sound like they
put on a good show. It's a shame we can't hear it better. The last four tracks on side 4
are studio tracks and presumed to be soundboard recordings. Apparently there ar
different pressings that delete the first four tracks of side 1 and the last four tracks
(side 4) Some also came with a picture cover. Compare with the titles listed above.
