The second night of The Who's winter '79 tour, this was a show that built and improved upon the previous show in Detroit in just about every way. This show featured a double helping of Entwistle, with both 'Boris' and 'My Wife'. A couple of firecrackers went off in the first part of the show leading to a sharp rebuke from Pete just before 'Music Must Change'.
Pete plays/improvises the second (and last) version of 'I'm London' just before 'Won't Get Fooled Again. He also did this at the Capitol Theater in Passaic the previous September. They close the show as they would at many of the shows on this tour with Pete improvising lyrics for what would become 'Dance It Away'.
