The 1969 Fillmore stage heard on "FILLMORE WEST 1969 2ND NIGHT," which suddenly appeared on the Internet, shook enthusiasts around the world with its sound quality. The person who released the sound source has uploaded the recordings from the Fillmore the previous year at the same time. The Fillmore in 1968 was the first time the Who performed at the Fillmore in April, and they continued to make appearances at the venue in the U.S. in an effort to achieve success there. While the Fillmore East was the stage four months earlier, this was the Who's first appearance at the Fillmore West. To begin with, the existence of sound sources themselves during this period was rare, and soundboards were not confirmed to exist. The audience recording of August 2 at the Singer Bowl in New York was a rare find. The Who performed as the last performer at the rock festival where The Doors and other bands also appeared, but it was too poor to be commercialized as a total recording, and two songs were barely included in the famous live compilation "Who Are the High Numbers? Therefore, when it came to live recordings of the Who in 1968, the Fillmore East in April was the only choice, due to the fact that it was recorded in multi-track format, and the only way to hear it was to listen to the barely available trader-level audience recordings, a situation that has continued until now. For that reason, this is literally a historic find. The sound quality is excellent. Although it is not as good as the previous release "FILLMORE WEST 1969 2ND NIGHT", it is shockingly easy to listen to as an audience recording from 1968. The sound image is amazingly different from the "roar" or "distant sound" that is common in vintage audiophiles. In addition, the larger balance of the group's vocal work, especially Roger's, also contributes to the ease of listening. The balance of the performance is so good that it is hard to believe that this is the audience of 1968. The sound quality of "Heaven & Hell," which began to be performed at the opening of this tour, is a little muffled, but from the next song, "I Can't Explain," the view suddenly improves, making it much easier to listen to. At this point, the quality is at a level where the singer bowls mentioned earlier are not a problem. The quality of the recording is at a level where the Singer Bowl, which I mentioned earlier, is not a problem at this point, and it becomes even easier to hear from "Substitute. The pitch of the CD has been adjusted and the sound has been equalized to make it even easier to listen to. The original sound can be easily listened to on YouTube, and you will be amazed at the difference and the ease of listening. The setlist has been drastically changed since the Fillmore East in April, and a cover of "Young Man Blues" was introduced to the repertoire on this tour. The cover of "Young Man Blues" was introduced to the repertoire on this tour, and although the band later produced a rare masterpiece in "Live at the Leeds," the performance heard here is as if it were a different song. It was not yet a well-developed song in the repertoire, and the performance here is very fresh, with an atmosphere similar to that of the studio version recorded at the same time. Magic Bus," which has become a live staple, also debuted on this tour, but at this point, the humorous atmosphere of the performance is also fresh, and it is surprising that such a fresh performance was left on the record. On the other hand, "Fortune Teller / Tattoo" is a traditional repertoire song, but John Entwistle is the MC here, which is also surprising. Speaking of the Hoo's live performances, Pete is usually the MC, and Keith or Roger would step in, and John has a well-established image of being a quiet bassist on stage. However, here was a rare opportunity to see him MCing. And the best part was "Daddy Rolling Stone". The fact that the Who performed the repertoire from the early days of the band, the High Numbers era, even in 1968, is a great discovery, as it has been known only to core enthusiasts until now. The wild and dependable performance, which is a great leap forward from the High Numbers era, is a masterpiece. The contents of this album are even more impressive than "FILLMORE WEST 1969 2nd NIGHT" in terms of preciousness, and are a must-see for all who listen to it. Not only has a first-class historical document been unearthed, but it is also surprisingly easy to listen to. This is the first time that the world's most important stage recordings from 1968 have finally seen the light of day, and they are sure to shock enthusiasts all over the world! Heaven & Hell 3.
