Who,The Who/Germany 8.16.1972 Complete

From August to September 1972, the European tour was held on a scale of 17 performances in 10 countries, and the third performance, the Brussels performance on August 16th, was recorded in full in high quality stereo audience recording. This is a direct recording of the authentic master tape version, which was handed over from the European master tape holder who provided the sound source for “Summertime Mods” released by the “Killing Floor” label more than 10 years ago. This Brussels performance is highly regarded as the best record of the 1972 tour in terms of quality and recording time. Although the high range is slightly rough, it is not perfect high quality, and as an audience recording of this era, both the scale of the sound and the amount of information are excellent, and there is no doubt that it is a must-have sound source for fan collectors. This time, by using a well-established master, a definite difference in the clarity and freshness of the sound can be confirmed, and fans will be ecstatic about the upper version of “Brussels 1972” that has just been released, and it will be a very important work historically. The first appearance part is the 5-second instrumental jam part in the middle from 5:35 to 5.41 of Won’t Get Fooled Again, and the 4-second part where Roger sings “Must be something wrong” from 1:43 to 1:47 of Naked Eye, which have not been released before, and although they are short, they are important parts that can prove this master version. In addition, the cheering part at the end of the concert is recorded for nearly a minute longer than the already released version. The set of this period basically follows the previous year, but Substitute and Amazing Journey are dropped, and the overall content is slightly shorter. After the first song I Can’t Explain, Shakin’ All Over is played instead of the usual Substitute. Shakin’ All Over was played as the second song only on the second day in Hamburg and on this day, and from the Amsterdam performance the following day, this position was changed to Summertime Blues, just like the first day in Frankfurt. However, the performance of Shakin’ All Over, which is performed as the second song, fits in this position with its strong groove, and the band’s good performance is especially evident from its wild play. In the third song, Roger calls out “My Wife!”, but Pete makes a playful MC saying “Watch this foot! This foot here!”, and Keith plays a wild drum to match it. After the song starts, the number of phrases becomes suspicious (1:10), but the performance is spectacular, and in the second half, Pete plays a strong long solo. Keith’s thunderous drumming is very powerful, and as the development progresses, you can enjoy the moment when WHO’s charm as a live band explodes with a very realistic sound. Following the straight-forward Summertime Blues, Baba O’Riley is played with a synth. After the song, Pete says, “It’s been a while since we’ve played here since 1966, but it’s still a boring place! We played in a tent before. Has anyone seen that? Is it you? I guess so.” After that, Behind Blue Eyes is an impressive and dynamic performance. Bargain, which has a powerful performance, has been removed from the set since the 1972 tour. Won’t Get Fooled Again has a cut at 5:37 in the previous version, and then suddenly becomes a synth in the middle part from the cut at 5:40 (4 seconds in between), but in this version, there is a similar cut at 5:33, and then from the cut at 5:41, it also becomes a synth in the same way, but as you can see from the time data, this is recorded for 8 seconds in between, which is actually just under 5 seconds longer than the previous version. Magic Bus is a long performance of 14 minutes, and is the biggest highlight of the whole album, including Pete’s ever-changing solo. After entering Disc 2, Keith’s MC introduction of Relay, which was only performed at this time, is interesting, saying, “This is a song that will be included in the next album, and it features a synth that Pete wrote. It was made by the cheapest member, a tape recorder. This guy doesn’t get drunk, after all.” Relay’s experimental performance, full of intense chaos and vibration, is also worth listening to. Pinball Wizard is interrupted for a moment by the guitar intro, and then starts playing immediately. See Me, Feel Me is an impressive performance. After the performance, the audience naturally erupts in thunderous applause. Pete’s light-hearted introduction leads to a powerful performance of My Generation, and in the second half of the song, you can experience a dynamic excitement. The next song, Sparks, is a rare number from this year that was only confirmed to have been performed at three performances on the 1972 tour, in Hamburg the day before and in Copenhagen the day after. The song goes to Naked Eye in a medley. The previously released version has a cut with noise at 1:43, but although this version has a missing part at the same place, the missing part is short and you can hear Roger’s first appearance part, “Must be something wrong”. The last number, Long Live Rock, is also recorded in full, and the sound quality and sound image are unshakable until the end. The previously released version fades out with about 40 seconds of clapping for an encore after the performance ends, but this version captures the end of the performance for 1 minute 35 seconds, which is almost a minute longer than that. The endless clapping of the audience and the state of the audience who knew the end of the concert are clearly recorded until the end! Although it is not related to the WHO’s performance, it will be very important as a document.
