From Collectors Music Reviews:

Convention Center, Fort Worth, TX   March 16th, 1976

Disc 1 (40:05):  I Can t Explain, Substitute, My Wife, Baba O Riley, Squeeze Box, Behind Blue Eyes, Dreaming From The Waist, Magic Bus

Disc 2 (55:20): Amazing Journey, Sparks, The Acid Queen, Fiddle About, Pinball Wizard, I m Free, Tommy s Holiday Camp, We re Not Gonna Take It, See Me Feel Me, Summertime Blues, My Generation ? Join Together ? Roadrunner ? My Generation, Won t Get Fooled Again

The Who began their first of two tours of North America in 1976 on March 9th in Boston, a truncated show due to Keith Moon s serious bout with the flu.  A week later they played their only show in Texas at the Convention Center in Fort Worth. 

Fort Worth 1976 is the only silver pressed title documenting this show.  Utilizing a fair audience recording of the entire concert, it seems to be the entire show.  There is a strange cut after  My Generation  and the sound quality changes dramatically for  Won t Get Fooled Again,  becoming more distant and somewhat distorted.  It could be due to the recorder walking further back from the stage, but more likely it is edited in from another tape source.  Whether it s the Forth Worth concert or not is unclear.

Before the opening number there is quite a bit of tape recording the excitement of the crowd.  The Who were one of the premier live rock bands in the mid-seventies, and their performances actually met reputation.

There are no surprises in the setlist.  But the show reaches a wonderful climax with one of the best versions of the  My Generation  medley (including  Join Together ) and the finale  Won t Get Fooled Again  every committed to tape.  For this, Fort Worth 1976 is an essential Who title to own.

 Getting some containers off Amazon but will probably be purging a lot. Not even watching anything right now and barely watch any of these. The format is terrible and those slimline drives are just foul. Dual layers? Even if I can get one to successfully burn now it will be unwatchable in a few years. Too bad, love video but can't make a career out of it. Or if I can, lemme know how.

My Want List

it's been awhile, write to ijwthstd AT yahoo DOT com if you can help     **ETERNAL WANT LIST**  (Nothing added since Dec 25 post, just bumping to the top for new users) In this total media universe with everything at my fingertips, individual shows have taken on a lot less importance, however I still want to get my eyes and ears on these. This was copied off a much older list where I deleted several found titles so it's not impossible I'd say I have plenty to trade but I stopped withholding stuff for those purposes years ago. I can always offer up the super secret Mystery Drive list of my friend's rare masters (1971 to 2017) and pull something from there. Really one of the only things I am hoarding is that list only to preserve my sanity. Remember your hoarded recordings are only worth something while there are still people alive who care. Therapy? @ Whisky A Go Go Nov 1992  (this was recorded) Therapy @ The Roxy 5/4/96 (saw this on a list of Westwood One shows,...

The Who 2025 round up

The Who 2025 round up https://pixeldrain.com/l/pa6SQ88X I am just assuming I will be unable to attend the private show Oct 3rd but if you can ease the way anyhow, let me know. So chasing the possible last show ended up being a futile exercise after all. This is all pretty much a blur now but I will do my best. I am way too tired to proof read this. Lots of grueling travel. Might add more tomorrow  ** Night 1 For Joe Perry Project I stayed near my original seat way up high. There are already 2 other sources for this. I so wanted to see a headline show. Not really all that excited at the thought of more Aerosmith shows especially with Yungblud.  The Who - moved into E section around row 8, might be a little overloaded.  I might some day tell the excruciating saga of my extra ticket. Had 2 but my girlfriend couldn't go. She was already taking time off for Nine Inch Nails.m  For the 2nd night I bought a ticket for $34.50 at the box office after asking around for a few mi...
