Notes


Fete de Humanite

Everything through 'See Me, Feel Me' is a composite of a good/fair radio broadcast and a good/fair audience recording, while a fair/poor audience recording provides the rest—a brief cut in 'My Generation' (probably only a second or two) seems to be the only missing piece. There's a bit of digi-noise at the end of 'See Me, Feel Me' that was present on the original recording.

One of the best shows of the tour. After an impressive first string of songs, a long (10-minute) and spirited 'Bargain' is another highlight, as is an unusually entertaining 'Magic Bus'. But the high point of the show has to be 'The Relay', which is stretched into a loose, improvised jam that leaves Moon playing alone at one point before the rest of the band rejoins for the conclusion. Everything after the Tommy numbers is from a lesser-quality audience recording, but at least it provides the rest of the show, which concludes with 'Long Live Rock'.
