Thanks to the taper, as always...

This is a very good audience recording from the first night of two in Boston, acquired as a bonus cd with 4Reel's release of 'Isle of Wight 1969' dvd back in 2005. According to http://www.thewho.net/f91/roio/html/1969.html (entry for this particular show), the recording should have a cut in 'Acid Queen', 'Tommy Can You Hear Me', & 'Go To The Mirror' -

however, this particular recording appears to be completely intact (with no cuts) apart from missing the last 3 songs of the set - The Who 11/11/1969 gives no indication of any cuts either. So whether this is a different source I have no idea at all - anyone advise? The show itself is a very good one, as the band had been touring 'Tommy' for 4 weeks in America by this point, narrowing down what worked on stage & what didn't. Pete's interludes to the crowd are slightly unclear, but the vocals themselves don't suffer - even Keith's...musically, the band are in fine form, & the recording is indicative of this - slightly rhythm end heavy but definitely more than listenable, with a performance that by the end has the dynamics of an overworking engine
