Sound Quality: A good audience recording, but only of the first part of the show.

Details: A short, incomplete recording from the festival, but the sound is clear. The playing is of the usual caliber for this period and TownshendÕs introduction to Tommy includes a few humorous wisecracks. IÕm not sure if any more of this show was recorded, but a more complete recording supposedly includes ÔPinball Wizard,Õ ÔSubstitute,Õ ÔSummertime Blues,Õ ÔShakin' All Over,Õ and ÔMy Generation.Õ
