    I Normally Opt out on live recordings but seeing as my local shop had one for only 5$ in NM- condition I thought id give it a shot, Surprised with the production quality and professionalism during the recording. Nice packaging as well, definitely worth the 5$

      An absolutely enthralling live set. I'm surprised how much Townshend's guitar reminds me of Tony Iommi at times. Anyway, you're not getting straight Who covers at all. They really stretch out and play around with some of their biggest standards. 14 minutes of My Generation! and it never gets boring. Up there as one of my most favourite live albums of all time.
