Who,The Who/MD,USA 1976 2Days

The Who’s secret recordings from the famous taper JEMS have been further polished and are now available on 4 CDs! The recordings are stereo audience recordings from concerts held in Largo, Maryland, USA on August 3rd and 4th, 1976, and have never been released before. These were the first concerts that JEMS himself performed on these two days, carrying a high-spec cassette recorder made in Japan called the Nakamichi 670. 1976 was the last tour with Keith Moon, and this year in particular, The Who toured the US three times, with intervals between each tour, in March, August, and October. This was probably due to Keith’s physical condition, which was no longer able to withstand consecutive performances. Each of the three tours was named, and the August tour, which was held twice each in Miami, Florida and Largo, was called the “Whirlwind Tour.” As the tour name suggests, The Who put on a tremendous performance at Largo. On the first day, JEMS was in the eighth row from the front, in the front block on Pete’s side (to the right of the stage). The sound captured there was of a “superb” level, boasting outstanding clarity, power, and stereo separation that was amazing. Pete’s guitar in particular was at the forefront, and it surged with a furious force. However, in the original master that was recently uploaded to the Internet, there was noise due to poor microphone contact in the right channel at 0:22 in the intro, 0:50 in My Wife, and 0:32 in Baba O’Riley, and after this, there was a small amount of noise in several places. We carefully removed it at our shop. We also adjusted the wavy volume. Although there will inevitably be some fine noise or traces of erasure, it is certain that it is much easier to listen to. There was also a cut during the song that seemed to be a tape change at 2:02 in Join Together, but it was skillfully cross-faded. With these, we can confidently say that it is much easier to listen to than the original master. The scene where Pete, who made a mistake at the ending of I’m Free, sings the closing phrase while laughing shyly, and Keith’s flying intro to Amazing Journey are also enjoyable parts unique to the genuine audience source. The second day’s performance is the day when JEMS declared that the band’s play quality was higher than the first day. Since JEMS’s seats were farther from the stage than the first day, the band’s sound feels a little further from the stage than the first day, but it still has a wide dynamic range and is very powerful. There is a cut at 10:14 at the end of Magic Bus, and it fades out and fades in. This is because JEMS thought the performance was over and stopped the tape once, but then Who started playing again, so it was recorded in the middle. The condition of the tape was better on the second day than on the first day, and there was almost no contact noise, but the fine tape noise was carefully examined and pinpointed and removed. Our meticulous noise removal process has brought back The Who’s best performance in the best form! The set list for both days was exactly the same, covering everything from their debut song Can’t Explain to their early and mid-period hits and late singles, with the “TOMMY” suite inserted, making it a truly comprehensive content. The songs and order are the same, but it’s The Who’s performance in their heyday. Pete’s long improvisations with a high degree of improvisation, which are deployed in numbers such as My Wife, Sparks, Magic Bus and My Generation, and the entanglement of John and Keith’s rhythm section, who follow them or support them and incite them, have different nuances on the two days, which is thrilling. You will also realize that The Who’s true essence is in their short pop numbers, where they are tightly packed and tightly organized, and that they are fully demonstrating their ability to be called “the world’s best rock band” at the time, along with Led Zeppelin. Especially on the first day, enjoy Pete’s chord cutting, which seems to be entrusted to his body! Our shop has released excellent audience titles such as “Springfield 1975” and “Providence 1975” in 1975, but this board is no less than them, and there is no doubt that it will reign as a title with the quality that is the top of The Who’s final tour.
