Tr. 01-10: unknown place/date

Note: As mentioned below, these tracks all originate from the reference acetates that were made by Damon Lyon-Shaw at IBC studios in Jan. 1970. Tr. 01-05 & 06-07 are likely from 2 different nights. All are sourced from “Live at Leeds Rejects”. Tr. 08 is of lesser audio quality and comes from “Who is Tommy”. There were two needle skips on this track which I repaired by patching the missing fragments in from “1969 Autumn Acetates”, along with the last 5 minutes of this song. Funny enough, this ROIO does not have the skips even though it clearly originates from the same scratchy acetate.

SOME LO-FI EXTRAS

01. Can’t Explain
02. Fortune Teller
03. Young Man Blues
04. My Generation (6m59s, cuts off)
20 mins

Tr. 01-04: unknown place/date (Tr. 4 was reported to be from one of the Fillmore shows)

Note: More from the acetates. All are sourced from “Who is Tommy” except for the last track which was taken from an unknown tape source. There is a small fragment missing on Tr. 02 due to a needle skip, which appears on the “1969 Autumn Acetates” version as well, so I remedied it somewhat by replacing it with a piece from earlier in the song. Tr. 03 is the same version as on Vol. 1 but appears in stereo here. I suspect Tr. 01-02 (and possibly 03 as well) are from the same show as Tr. 06-07 from Vol. 5.
