The Who - The Fall 1969 Soundboard Tapes [SBD]
The Fall 1969 Soundboard Tapes
Vol. 1-5
Newly Restored & Remastered 2016 [Prof. Stoned]

Soundboard Recording

This collection 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.

Every single circulating recording from this tour has been included here with the exception of officially released material.
Furthermore, the best available sources have been selected, the speed of all recordings has been corrected and everything
has been newly mastered for optimal sonic consistency. A lot of the dates remain a mystery and probably always will, unless
previously uncirculated recordings of this tour show up.
