Date/Location/Venue: 04/26/71 - London, UK - Young Vic Theatre

Year & Country Issued/Label: 1993 - Germany - Unknown

Comments: Early live "Lifehouse" performance. Mono soundboard, off-speed by ~1%. The way the tracks are mixed, it sounds as if Roger Daltrey has a backing band. The tracks from this concert that were officially released sound phenomenal.

Format/Rating/Source: CD - C - Audience

Date/Location/Venue: 12/12/71 - San Francisco, CA - Civic Auditorium

Year & Country Issued/Label: 1993 - Luxembourg - Blackdog

Comments: Great performance, but marred by a bad audience recording. The speed is also off by ~2%. The official releases of "My Wife" ("Two's Missing"),  "Bargain ("Who's Missing") & "Baby Don't You Do It" ("Who Rarities Vol. 2") come from this show. At one time this show was considered to be released as a live album, but unfortunately those plans were scrapped.

Year & Country Issued/Label: 2020 - UK - Eat To The Beat

Comments: 3 CD package trying to pretend its a legit release of "radio broadcasts", vs. recordings from videos, BBC, Woodstock boot and a combo of officially released tracks ("View From A Backstage Pass") from San Francisco, 1971, sprinkled in with unreleased, lesser quality tracks. Overall a nice package, but pointless since all of the contents have been released elsewhere.
