TRANSFER/EDITING NOTES:
There's no denying it, this has to be of the best audience recordings available from the '75 By Numbers tour in terms of sound quality and performance. Even Toronto '75 cannot boast the vocal clarity on this one. The Who were on fire for a lot of these performances, evidenced by the fine audience recordings from this era.
I chose to apply some edits to this recording in an effort to improve on the already stellar sound quality. These edits amount to little more than specific frequency adjustments wherein some low-mid range noise existed, causing that boomy muffled sound typical to audience recordings and properly balancing of the overall recording level. The second disc is of slightly better sound quality. That is how I received the source discs. If there is a better quality version in circulation, I'd certainly welcome it! Regardless, this one sounds great to my ears . I have included new artwork to go along with this remaster. For those who have never heard this show, sit back and prepare for the full aural assualt that was The Who running on all cylinders in the mid-seventies! Enjoy!
