VERY RARE OLD & MINT!

1971 TOUR KICK OFF IN THE POURING RAIN!

TWO LP SET = COMPLETE!

THE WHO

"Such A Night"

WHITE KNIGHT - WK 23

TOP COPY!

....MINT CLEAN ALL OVER ....

Ages old TWO-LP set from 35+ years ago on the obscure White Knight label, a complete round of the WHO kicking off their 1971 WHO'S NEXT tour.... The 1971 tour of the USA was also scheduled to begin in late July at the Forest Hills Tennis Stadium in Queens, New York in support of their just to be released Who's Next album. Although the album would receive rave reviews and would become one of the greatest albums ever released, the songs were virtually unknown to the New York audiences that night. Only a single edit of “Won’t Get Fooled Again” was played on the radio at the time, so the new songs are really new. The tour originally was scheduled to start at the Civic Center in Baltimore, but was rescheduled when the Forest Hills Tennis Stadium became available. It was a muggy night and it rained throughout the performance. Mike Jahn reviewed the show for the New York Times stating that “The Who tied rubber blocks to their shoes to avoid electrocution and played a long concert in a steady rain Thursday at the Forest Hills Tennis Stadium in Queens.” He also stated that “most of the words were indecipherable, lost in the notorious volume that characteristics The Who … Peter Townshend and Roger Daltrey maintained an insult match with their equipment handlers all evening.” Overall the sound quality is VERY decent considering the recorder was under a tarp for protection from the rain - but maybe that was a good thing in keeping any piercing highs from distortion... The set begins with two new songs, “Love Ain’t For Keeping” from the new album and “Pure And Easy,” which wasn’t and would only be released three years later on Odds & Sodds. “We’d like to enjoy the rain with you, but unfortunately our equipment doesn’t like it” Roger Daltrey says afterwards. A girl, probably the taper referring to her tape recorder, laughs “neither does ours!” Daltrey then introduces “My Wife” by John Entwistle. It would be one of the band’s most popular live numbers, but this is the first time they play it on stage. It segues directly into the older numbers “I Can’t Explain” and “Substitute” (which is inadvertently shortened to barely over a minute here). After “Substitute” Keith Moon introduces the next song “from the new album that’s going to be released this week. It’s called The Who Sings Gene Kelly. ‘I’m singing in the rain…’” he sings, poking fun at the steady rain. After more banter Townshend stomps on a cockroach shouting “I HATE COCKROACHES!” After a pause Moon shouts, “he ain’t dead yet.” “Bargain” follows and is faithful to the studio version except Townshend hums the synthesizer part. The guitarist gets into a long speech about the new song “Behind Blue Eyes,” telling them “the next song we’re gonna do was recorded firstly in New York City a place called The Record Plant which is where your heavy American groups record all their heavy things. But we come over here and we did something completely upside down, it’s about the lightest number we’ve ever done. It never came out as a single and maybe when you hear it you’ll understand why. It’s an album track from our latest album called Who’s Next called ‘Behind Blue Eyes.’” Moon then shouts “And it’s crap.” Townshend replies “And you’ll see why. Just watch him.” It’s obvious the band are pushing the limits of the crowd’s patience with all the new material. There is scant applause and, while Townshend is talking, people are shouting for “Magic Bus” and carrying on their own conversations. The audience give “Behind Blue Eyes” a reaction of silence mixed with shouts of obscenities. It’s not clear exactly what is going on, but there are some loud shouts of expletives heard from the audience while it’s being sought out. “Won’t Get Fooled Again,” perhaps since it was released as a single, gets a bigger response. It was used as the set-closer earlier in the year, it’s now moved to the seventh number in the act and won’t return to show-closing status for a few years. Before “Baby Don’t You Do It” Daltrey says “It’s a song we used to play in a club in London…equally damp … the Marquee.” After a blistering version of “Water,” the show finishes with “My Generation” moving into “Magic Bus” and what was reportedly a Townshend smash-up of not one, but two guitars. John Swenson describes the ending of the show in his book The Who, published in 1979. “At the end of ‘Magic Bus,’ Townshend broke the neck off his guitar and flung it into the photographer’s pit. When a jittery roadie scuttled out to retrieve the body, Townshend threatened him with menacing gestures to stand aside (Who roadies always turn out to be Townshend’s straight men during a Who performance). Townshend then took a second guitar and, grabbing it like a paddle, picked up the body of the broken first guitar, tossed it into the air, and slammed it with the second guitar as it came down. Both guitars broke into pieces at Townshend’s feet. He then picked up a microphone stand and beat the mangled guitar bodies into splinters.” RECORD 1 (41:05): Love Ain’t For Keeping, Pure And Easy, My Wife, I Can’t Explain, Substitute, Bargain, Behind Blue Eyes, Magic Bus RECORD 2 (49:23): Won’t Get Fooled Again I Don’t Even Know Myself, Baby Don’t You Do It, Pinball Wizard, See Me Feel Me, Water, My Generation,
