Comments: Pete Townshend's 1st solo concert! Pretty poor sound quality, but neat packaging that also included a 7" single (see picture above) that had "Begin The Beguine" (from Pete's "Happy Birthday") as the "a" side and "If I Were A Carpenter" (from the Roundhouse concert) as its "b" side. The 4 studio tracks are from Pete's "Happy Birthday" and "With Love" LPs.

Year & Country Issued/Label: 1997 - Japan - Firepower

Comments: This is an "OK" audience recording, but a VERY special performance of Pete at his first solo concert. If you're a Pete fan, this is a "must have".

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

Comments: Good soundboard, but needs to be sped-up with a pitch control. Compare track listing with CD versions.

Year & Country Issued/Label: 1990 - Germany - Pastmasters

Comments: This CD and its companion, "Love Reign O'er Me" (see below) are mono soundboards. Apparently they were released in limited numbers and are difficult to find. They have since been rebooted on other labels (see other listings below), but I would consider these superior.

Comments: Another dub from "Soccer Rock" and "Love Reign O'er Me", but this time someone had the good sense to package them together. Slightly thinner sound quality than the originals.

Date/Location/Venue: 08/01/74 - Atlanta, GA - The Omni

Year & Country Issued/Label: 1993 - Germany - Yellow Dog

Comments: Pete adds a helping hand to one of Eric Clapton's concerts. While not really distinguishable on "Layla", Pete sings lead vocals on "Baby Don't You Do It" on this mostly instrumental version. An interesting performance...
