The Who
1969-08-16
Max Yasgur's Farm: Woodstock Festival, Bethel, NY
Woodstock Festival
[Day 2 Saturday - really the 17th being 3:00 am Sunday morning]
Main Stage [took stage at 3:00 am]
Great Dane Records (GDR CD 9412, Italy 1994) > Remastered Bootleg > EAC Secure > FLAC

Band Members:
Roger Daltrey - vocals, harmonica
Pete Townshend - guitar, vocals
John Entwistle - bass, vocals
Keith Moon - drums, vocals

This was the performance that changed and made The Who! The sun came up just as Roger Daltrey sang
See Me, Feel Me. In the middle of the show, you'll hear what's called The Abbie Hoffman Incident.
Hippy leader Abbie Hoffman gets on the stage and screams something about John Sinclair (whom
John Lennon has a song about) being in prison (for a pot bust). Townshend isn't interested as you'll
hear! For many Who fans and collectors, this is their best ever show.

They end with a riff that later became the song Naked Eye. You've seen Seen Me, Feel Me and the guitar
smashing part on the Woodstock movie. Maybe you've heard or seen Sparks, Pinball Wizard and See Me,
Feel Me on The Who's The Kids Are Alright cd or video.

As far as the lineage goes - there are many versions of The Who at Woodstock. I had about 6 and sent
them all to one person to remaster. This is what he came up with and we call it "Remastered 2002".
Most of it is based on the Great Dane bootleg "Woodstock - The Lost Performances" -- more on that
at http://www.woodstockproject.com/woodstock/greatdane

Included are two different versions of the artwork, neither are 100% accurate. If you're a Who collector, always
check out http://www.whoboots.com for artwork (and a really cool community where I got most of my Who bootlegs), http://www.thewholive.de for setlists and http://www.thewho.net for the best fan site. My Who collection is at http://www.thewhocollection.com.
