Date/Location/Venue: 03/28/81 - Essen, Germany - Grugahalle

Year & Country Issued/Label: 2002 - Unknown - JBP

Comments: Mono, multi-generation removed soundboard. I thought this was a somewhat interesting CD as there aren't a lot of concert rehearsal boots "floating around". The song sound quality isn't all that bad, but there's a real annoying hum in-between the tracks. The indexing of the CD is also odd, as in some cases, several tracks are crammed on one track. At some point on "Behind Blue Eyes" the disc ends abruptly even though it shows there are 4+ minutes on the disc - which also appears to include "Another Tricky Day" which is absent. At the end of disc 2, after "Who Are You" ends, and edited "I Want It All" from The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert begins. That fades into the David Letterman show, who announces Roger Daltrey and the beginning of "Days of Light" starts, and then the disc just ends! Probably the biggest value of this boot, is the noodling that takes place between the songs, which is kinda cool...

Date/Location/Venue: 03/28/81 - Essen, Germany - Grugahalle

Year & Country Issued/Label: 1981 - Unknown - Raven

Comments: Mono soundboard, but its tape source highs keep cutting in and out. Someone tried to simulate stereo by turning up the treble on the left channel and the bass on the right channel. Limited Edition - 200 copies pressed.

Track Listing: Substitute, I Can't Explain, Baba O'Riley, The Quiet One, Don't Let Go The Coat, Sister Disco, You Better You Bet, Drowned, Behind Blue Eyes

Date/Location/Venue: 03/28/81 - Essen, Germany - Grugahalle

Year & Country Issued/Label: 1981 - Europe - Palace

Comments: Very good mono soundboard, but surpassed in quality by the "Live In Essen" CDs. (See additional comments under that CD (below).)

Track Listing: Substitute, I Can't Explain, Baba O'Riley, The Quiet One, Don't Let Go The Coat, Sister Disco, You Better You Bet, Drowned, Behind Blue Eyes

Date/Location/Venue: 03/28/81 - Essen, Germany - Grugahalle

Year & Country Issued/Label: 1981 - Europe - Palace

Comments: Very good mono soundboard, but surpassed in quality by the "Live In Essen" CDs. (See additional comments under that CD (below).)

Track Listing: Another Tricky Day, Pinball Wizard, Who Are You, 5:15, My Generation, Won't Get Fooled Again, Summertime Blues, Twist & Shout, See Me, Feel Me

Title/Format/Rating/Source: Live In Essen Part 1 - CD - A- - Soundboard

Date/Location/Venue: 03/28/81 - Essen, Germany - Grugahalle

Year & Country Issued/Label: 1990 - Italy - Golden Stars

Comments: Excellent, but mono soundboard. Part one of a 2 part concert (see "Part 2" below). What makes this show especially interesting, are the "Face Dances" songs being performed live. The band only performed a handful of shows in 1981 and most of these songs were dropped from the set list for the 1982 tour, never to be played live again.

Track Listing: Substitute, I Can't Explain, Baba O'Riley, The Quiet One, Don't Let Go The Coat, Sister Disco, You Better You Bet, Drowned, Behind Blue Eyes, Another Tricky Day

Date/Location/Venue: 03/28/81 - Essen, Germany - Grugahalle

Year & Country Issued/Label: 2008 - UK - Quartich LTD

Comments: After over 20+ years of imagining what a stereo version of this great concert would sound like - one finally exists! (I only wish I had the opportunity to hear it before my hearing has been adversely affected by tinnitus!) Please note the back cover shows a release date of 2002.

Track Listing: Substitute, I Can't Explain, Baba O'Riley, The Quiet One, Don't Let Go The Coat, Sister Disco, You Better You Bet, Drowned, Behind Blue Eyes, Another Tricky Day, Pinball Wizard, Who Are You, 5:15, My Generation, Won't Get Fooled Again, Summertime Blues, Twist And Shout, See Me, Feel Me

Title/Format/Rating/Source: Shea Stadium 1982 - CD - B- - Audience

Date/Location/Venue: 10/13/82 - Flushing, NY - Shea Stadium

Year & Country Issued/Label: 1993 - Unknown - Silver Rarities

Comments: A "better" audience recording, featuring the Beatles' song, "I Saw Her Standing There". Certainly not a "must have", but the only other <than Toronto, 12/17> 1982 tour show released as a bootleg.

Track Listing: Substitute, I Can't Explain, Dangerous, Sister Disco, The Quiet One, It's Hard, Eminence Front, Behind Blue Eyes, Baba O'Riley, I'm One, The Punk And The Godfather, Drowned, Tattoo, Cry If You Want, Who Are You, Pinball Wizard, See Me, Feel Me, Won’t Get Fooled Again, Young Man Blues, Naked Eye, I Saw Her Standing There, Summertime Blues, Twist & Shout

Title/Format/Rating/Source: Seattle 1982 - CD (with DVD) - B+ - Soundboard

Date/Location/Venue: 10/20/82 - Seattle, Washington, USA - Seattle Kingdom

Year & Country Issued/Label: 2008 - Japan - MS

Comments: Combination CD & DVD (CD has less tracks than companion DVD). Great performance, but oddly - the CD is a different mix than the DVD. The DVD audio sounds much better than the CD - as the CD is a bit compressed and the bass is mixed a bit high.

Track Listing: My Generation, I Can't Explain, Sister Disco, The Quiet One, Eminence Front, Behind Blue Eyes, Baba O'Riley, I Can See For Miles, Drowned, Who Are You, 5:15, Love Reign O'er Me, Long Live Rock, Magic Bus, Summertime Blues, Twist And Shout

Title/Format/Rating/Source: Dangerous I - CD - A - Soundboard

Date/Location/Venue: 12/17/82 - Toronto, Canada - Maple Leaf Gardens

Year & Country Issued/Label: 1993 - Germany - That's Life

Comments: Excellent quality soundboard. Most likely duped off of the officially released video tape.

Track Listing: My Generation, I Can't Explain, Dangerous, Sister Disco, It's Hard, Eminence Front, Behind Blue Eyes, Baba O'Riley, Boris The Spider, Cry If You Want, Who Are You

Title/Format/Rating/Source: Dangerous II - CD - A - Soundboard

Title/Format/Rating/Source: The Farewell Tour - CD - A - Soundboard

Date/Location/Venue: 12/17/82 - Toronto, Canada - Maple Leaf Gardens

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

Comments: Another excellent sound quality release - most likely dubbed off of the official video tape. Set list is edited to fit on one CD.

Track Listing: My Generation, I Can't Explain, Dangerous, Sister Disco, Eminence Front, Behind Blue Eyes, Baba O'Riley, Dr. Jimmy, Boris The Spider, Drowned, Cry If You Want, Pinball Wizard, See Me, Feel Me, 5:15

Title/Format/Rating/Source: Dangerous - CD - A - Soundboard

Date/Location/Venue: 12/17/82 - Toronto, Canada - Maple Leaf Gardens

Year & Country Issued/Label: 1993 - Italy - On Stage

Comments: Yet another boot from the 12/17/82 show. This one may have been duped off of a promo CD, as the song order is out of sync with the set list. Excellent sound quality.

Track Listing: Who Are You, Cry If You Want, Baba O'Riley, Eminence Front, Drowned, Sister Disco, Dangerous, Behind Blue Eyes, Boris The Spider, Dr. Jimmy, 5:15

Title/Format/Rating/Source: Moon Life - CD - A - Soundboard

Date/Location/Venue: 12/17/82 - Toronto, Canada - Maple Leaf Gardens, 12/04/73 - Philadelphia, PA - The Spectrum

Year & Country Issued/Label: 1990 - Italy - Lobster

Comments: A funny title - considering Keith Moon is hardly on the CD! The credits say "Recorded Live In The USA During '74 / '78 Tours", but... Obviously a "rip off" CD, but at least it has very good sound quality.

Track Listing: Toronto '82: My Generation, I Can't Explain, Pinball Wizard, See Me, Feel Me, Who Are You, Baba O'Riley, Won't Get Fooled Again
Philadelphia '73: The Real Me, Bell Boy
