It was a Great place to see a show , and this was the first of three Who appearances there, the others being the '71 and '73 tours. This tape starts with 40 seconds of distortion at the beginning of Heaven and Hell before settling down to a slightly overloaded sound for the rest of the show. It was recorded close to the stage, on John's side. tapeboy for JEMS Here is an exerpt of a review of this show by Jeff Geml taken from thewholive.de website. "Of all the shows I saw during the 1960's and 1970's this sticks as the most memorable. The event was a sellout and the crowd was really free. Skimpily dressed chicks and long-haired "freaks" passing joints and bottles of wine were the order of the day. Everybody was cool. No fights that I saw. No OD's either. We were lucky to get great seats with a good vantage point for viewing the entire stage. The lights dimmed and then suddenly Joe Walsh and the James Gang walked onstage. They had a pretty solid repertoire of hits and played them masterfully. I would have bought a ticket just to see them play for an hour or so. At the end of their last song there was a couple of second quiet "lull" as the crowd did not exactly know if the song was over, somebody way up in the stands yelled "you stink". Joe Walsh did the right thing, he gave the guy his middle finger and said "F... You!" |
