The Who: Live At The Oval 1971
by Doug Collette
The Who were at the peak of their performing powers by the time they embarked upon an extensive touring schedule in 1971. Having honed their chemistry as a performing unit during the nearly two years of performing Tommy (Decca, 1969), the quartet had relegated equipment smashing to an occasional sidelight. And, having distilled guitarist/composer Pete Townshend's magnum opus Life House into Who's Next (MCA, 1971), the foursome had a panoply of sterling new material to choose from in ...

by Doug Collette
For long-time fans of the the Who acquainted with the less-than-stellar audio quality of bootlegs that have circulated over the years, this two-CD (and three-vinyl LP )fiftieth-anniversary set Live at the Fillmore East 1968 will no doubt be a revelation. Those more casual followers who may only know of the iconic British group as of their widespread commercial breakthrough in the form of Tommy (MCA, 1969) will quite possibly be more astonished-and on multiple fronts-hearing the quartet's stage show before ...

Music and More by Tim Niland
The progressive rock opera Quadrophenia has been my favorite album by The Who since I discovered it in college. This is one of those “overkill" reissues, really aimed at the true believer fan, containing not only the original double album re-mastered, but discs of demos and surround sound mixes, along with a hardcover book and other related ephemera. I didn't have the money (or the attention span) to purchase the whole set, so I was thrilled that the most of ...
