Date/Location/Venue: 12/04/73 - Philadelphia, PA - The Spectrum

Year & Country Issued/Label: 1974 - USA - Trademark of Quality

Comments: This is a great bootleg - However, the CD version sounds better. This whole concert was supposed to be remixed and remastered, then officially released. Unfortunately, that has yet to happen.

Date/Location/Venue: 12/04/73 - Philadelphia, PA - The Spectrum, Unknown

Comments: The Philadelphia '73 tracks are taken from the same source as the "Tales From The Who", while the rest of the tracks are credited to "San Francisco '74" - but the band didn't play there then. Judging by the track listing, it looks like part of the '71 set list.

Track Listing: Philadelphia '73: I Am The Sea, The Real Me, I'm One, Sea And Sand, Drowned, Bell Boy, Dr. Jimmy, Won't Get Fooled Again, Pinball Wizard, See Me, Feel Me, Can't Explain, Summertime Blues, My Generation

Date/Location/Venue: 12/04/73 - Philadelphia, PA - The Spectrum

Year & Country Issued/Label: 1989 - Germany - Swingin' Pig

Comments: Apparently this release was a direct copy from a radio station promo CD. The track listing is  smaller than the "Tales From The Who", but the sound quality is slightly improved. There is also a radio station promo "floating around" that has "My Wife" from the same concert...

Track Listing: The Real Me, Bell Boy, Doctor Jimmy, I Can't Explain, Summertime Blues, My Generation, Pinball Wizard, We're Not Gonna Take It, Won't Get Fooled Again

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

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

Year & Country Issued/Label: 1994 - Australia - Chartbusters

Comments: You always have to wonder what would inspire someone to put a collection like this together... All of this material was "lifted" from other bootlegs. Very good sound quality, but overall, what's the point?

Track Listing: Philadelphia '73: Summertime Blues, My Generation, Pinball Wizard, See Me Feel Me, Won't Get Fooled Again
Leeds '70: , I Can't Explain, Happy Jack, I'm A Boy

Date/Location/Venue: 12/23/73 - London, UK - Sundown Theater

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

Comments: This 2 CD set (see Vol. 2 below) is fun to listen to every now and then, despite the fact that the sound quality is very bad, including "tape wobble". How can you not like live "Quadrophenia" material?

Track Listing: I Am The Sea, The Real Me, The Punk Meets The Godfather, I Am One, 5:15, Sea And The Sand, Drowned, Bellboy, Doctor Jimmy, Love Reign Over Me
