Here and there you can hear some awful noises , as if somebody put his finger on

the "forward" button while recording .


Anyway, this is a fantastic performance and one of the rare gigs of 1968 which

has been circulated.

I got this tape in a trade in the middle 80´s.

Another clear as yesterday memory. In fact, I had front row seats and sat
about ten feet away from the stage. It was an amazingly loud show, and just
amazing overall. The final song, "My Generation", guaranteed that there would
be no encore.

The show was very well attended (the Civic Auditorium seats about 1500), but
that was mainly because of the opening act - Blue Cheer, a popular San Francisco
band just then enjoying some chart success with their own version
of "Summertime Blues".

A while later, probably based on the good attendance of the first San Jose
show, they appeared again at the San Jose Civic Auditorium, but you don't have
this on your list. I don't know the exact date, but it had to be around the time
of the August 1968 San Francisco shows. Perhaps one of those shows is
mislabelled and is really San Jose? What I remember most clearly about this
show was the extremely poor attendence. In fact, there were barely 100 people
at this show and there was the very real possibility that it would be cancelled
at the last minute, but fortunately for me the show went on, and again I sat in
the front row. Another incredible performance by the Who, highlighted by a great
live version of the just released "Magic Bus". The opening acts were minor
local bands, which was probably one reason for low attendence. The Who were
just not that popular in the US at that time. That would all change the next
year, though, with the release of Tommy.
