The Young Vic Theatre, London, April 26, 1971

Source: Soundboard
Running Time: 75 min.
Rating: (sound) 8 (performance) 8
Setlist: (all songs by P. Townshend unless otherwise noted)
1. Too Much Of Anything
2. Getting In Tune
3. The Bargain

7. Water
8. My Generation
9. Road-Runner (E. McDaniel)
10. Naked Eye
11. Boney Moronie (L. Williams)
12. Won't Get Fooled Again

Notes: One of a unique set of Who shows that was performed for a non-paying crowd as part of an experiment for the Lifehouse project. This show was recorded on the Rolling Stones Mobile and a few tracks were later released officially on singles and as part of the 1995 reissue of Who's Next. Though from the soundboard, the recording is a bit quiet and generally lacking in atmosphere. The performance is fairly enthusiastic, but suffers from the band's (and the audience's) unfamiliarity with the new numbers. Interesting for the rare performances of "Too Much Of Anything," "Getting In Tune," and "Boney Moronie."

Notes: Another '71 show captured on a soundboard recording. Unfortunately, the speed's a bit off on this one. The sound is great except for the speed, which can be annoying until you get used to it. A terrific performance, featuring perhaps the best-ever version of "My Wife" and a really long "Magic Bus." "Bargain" and "My Wife" from this show were officially released on Who's & Two's Missing respectively.
