released to put to rest the notion that The Who have gone soft after releasing Tommy
reaches #4 in the U.S., and #3 in the U.K.
May, 1970

One of John Entwistle's greatest contributions to The Who's catalogue was Heaven and Hell

The Who's first single, I Can't Explain, released in January of '65, reached #8 in the U.K.

The Who's cover version of Benny Spellman's 'Fortune Teller'

Tattoo

The Who's rock'n'roll cover version of Mose Allison's 'Young Man Blues'

Substitute, released in March of '66, reaches #5 in the U.K.

Happy Jack

I'm A Boy, released in August of '66, reaches #2 in the U.K. A great track

A Quick One, While He's Away

The Who's performance at Leeds actually included the whole of Tommy. This release just features Amazing Journey/Sparks from the set

I never did catch on to The Who's cover version of 'Summertime Blues'. I guess hearing Alan Jackson's version of it first kind of ruined it for me

The Who's cover version of The Pirates 'Shakin' All Over'. The original, released in August of 1960, reached #1 in the U.K.

This 15 minute version of My Generation actually reels off into a short rendition of 'See Me, Feel Me', and concludes with about 10 1/2 minutes of improvisation. This is The Who at their very best. The 3 musicians had the great ability to play off one another. Pete would often trail off into un-chartered territory, and Keith and John would be right there, following his every move. I've cut the song to include every part of this amazing track

The Who ended off the set with Magic Bus. Released in September of '68, it was always a crowd favorite. It reached #26 in the U.K.
