THE WHO
Highlights from forthcoming The Fall 1969 Soundboard Tapes Vol 1-5 [Prof Stoned 2016, 1CD]
Various venues and dates. Very good soundboard. Newly Restored and Mastered.

Thanks to prof_stoned for all the efforts; and for sharing the tracks at Dime.

prof_stoned noted:

This sampler is meant as an appetizer and as a single best-of disc for those who find five volumes a bit too much. It consists of direct-to-stereo soundboard recordings that were made for possible inclusion on a live album during The Who’s 2nd American tour of 1969. The tapes ended up being rejected in favor of what became Live at Leeds. Pete Townshend drastically tried to prevent the 1969 tapes from being bootlegged by destroying them, but some of the material eventually did find its way into circulation, albeit scattered over various poorly compiled/mastered bootlegs and with very little documentation to accompany them.
