Year & Country Issued/Label: 1976 - USA - K&S. Also issued as a picture disc (above) in 1976, by K&S.

Date/Location/Venue: 06/12/76 - Swansea, Wales - Vetch Field

Year & Country Issued/Label: 1997 - Unknown - Shagadellic

Comments: The best of all the Swansea bootlegs. Better sound than "Who Put The Boot In 1976" and also includes, "My Wife". Roger Daltrey always claimed that this was his favorite concert.

Track Listing: Amazing Journey , Sparks, Acid Queen, Fiddle About, Pinball Wizard, I'm Free (edited), Baba O'Riley, Squeeze Box, Behind Blue Eyes, Dreaming From The Waist, My Wife, Summertime Blues, My Generation Jam: Talking About It, Join Together, My Generation, Blues Guitar Interlude, Won't Get Fooled Again

Title/Format/Rating/Source: Exploding Drummer - C+ - Soundboard

Date/Location/Venue: 12/15/77 - Kilburn, UK - Gaumont State Theatre

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

Comments: Unfortunately, there's a lot of distortion running through this CD, hence the low "rating". Sad, because the pre-LP live version of "Who Are You" is probably one of the best live versions of the song I've ever heard!

Track Listing: Introduction, I Can't Explain, Substitute, Baba O'Riley, My Wife, Behind Blue Eyes, Dreaming From The Waist, Pinball Wizard, I'm Free, Tommy's Holiday Camp, Summertime Blues, Shakin' All Over, My Generation, Join Together, Who Are You, Won't Get Fooled Again
