I was 16. Drove over from Oakland to see this uniquely gifted group - they shared the billing with Cannonball Adderly (also terrific!). What a force of energy! They were the primary force that pointed the direction of Rock for the next several decades. After this point, their recordings were years ahead of their time, the musicianship was unmatched, and will last and be revered for generations (get it?) Also, they had a wonderful SENSE OF HUMOR! Why is that so hard?
The Who with Cannonball Adderly! That's an amazing combination. There was that brief period in the mid sixties to early seventies when the walls between types of music (rock, blues, R&B, jazz, folk, Latin, etc.) were broken down. By the mid-seventies the walls had been put back up again.
@@edoardogenzoliniauthor7802 Oh gosh let me try to remember:Fillmore twice ( maybe 3 times), Central Park twice, Tanglewood twice, New Paltz College once, Saratoga Performing Arts Center once and a couple of more I can't think of right now. At Tangle wood my friends and I met Roger and had a nice chat for 10 mins. He couldn't have been nicer! Top guy all the way !!
@@edoardogenzoliniauthor7802 Hi. No, it wasn't like today where everyone has a camera. I remember all the questions that we asked Roger too. He was sitting on a blanket with a beautiful English girl who I believe he did marry. I must read your book !! Oh, one more concert: The famous Singer Bowl concert 0f 1968 when Jim Morrison started a riot with the police. Fortunately we were not too near the bedlam. How could I forget that concert !?
I just interviewed Phil Jones, of Crabby Appleton (famous for the hit "Go Back") He said he might have been at this show. He said he saw the Nice with the original guitarist and the who, so it must have been this show. So thank you for sharing. Do you have any recordings of the nice from this show? I have also interviewed Dale Powers of the Ohio Express (famous for hits Yummy Yummy Yummy, Chewy Chewy, Beg Borrow and Steal) He played a show with the who in Canada at a pop festival on July 16, 1968. He even had dinner with the who! He even told me how each member acted. He said that Moon asked the Ohio Express drummer if he wanted some peanuts, he said yes and Moon dumped the entire bag on his head! Dale told me that after the who, the audience started to destroy the stage! Let me know if you're interested in the full story.
Hi, I do not have recordings of The Nice's set unfortunately, but my new book "Teenage Wasteland: The Who at Winterland, 1968 and 1976," which also covers the Fillmore show on February 22 '68, features a never-seen-before photo of Keith Emerson playing in The Nice before the Who's set. I'd love to get in touch with Phil Jones and Dale Powers. Can you see my email address in the information area of my channel?
@@edoardogenzoliniauthor7802 Yes, I found your email. I'll contact both of them. I also know Greg Munford (famous for singing "incense and peppermints") He was at the Monterey Pop Festival and of course, saw the Who's amazing performance that night. I'll give you his contact to if you're interested. Also on a lesser note, my dad saw the who shortly before I was born in Omaha, Ne Dec 7, 2006.
Fantastic! Got a spell of the gig at The Jaguar Club -68, might´ve been the first for "Heaven & Hell" ? Thanks an awful lot for putting these gem´s out for us true WHO fanatics!
@1967DIF We were at that show . And The New Place in Cary Illinois and The Majestic in Lake Geneva , Wisconsin . I saw The WHO 12 times with Keith Moon 1967 / 75 .
I love Daltrey's gritty voice, pure rock and roll. I never liked the high-pitched screamers...Pete had a high voice but it was pleasant, and John sounded great before he damaged his chords....
I'm really curious about Pete's rig in this photo. In Feb 1968 he would have been using the Sound City amps in the US for the first time, but there is no name plate on the amps (although the face plate matches up otherwise), which I have seen on all the Sound City heads. Also, is Pete using an ES-335 here? He was still a few months away from getting the SG Special at Manny's. At any rate, you can hear him on the cusp of his truly great tone.
Sound City and an ES-335 which he played in both sets and smashed at the end of the second set. At Winterland, on the two following nights, he used a 1964 sunburst Strat and a Coral Hornet only for "I Can See for Miles".
Is there any possibility of uploading "Don't Look Away" from this show as well? Its pretty amazing that this show had three songs that no live recordings have been known to exist for until now. One of my personal "Holy grails" is to find a live recording of "Rael". I believe its known to have been performed at least twice.
wow! those vocals are suprisingly clear. what a strange mix of tunes they played in this era. it would be so cool if someone with technology knowledge would be able to somehow isolate those instruments and remix some of these 68-era songs into better quality. surely someone could figure out how to take these raw materials and make them slightly more listenable. look at what they can do with old bootleg film footage.
@@GenerationXReunion very unlikely... Partly because they did two different sets, and I doubt anyone brought enough tape to record both. This and the other songs from this show you can find in my channel are from the first set.
I'm convinced Keith was an alien dropped off in Wembley in 1946 and told to transform percussion as we know it. He was beamed up in '78. Job done.

Greatest live band!
Between 1968 and the end of 1971 I saw The Who 11 times and I don't believe they ever did RRR ! Love it !
Where did you see them John?

@@JOHNWLOUCKS wow. Did you ever take pictures? Are you aware of the book I have made and that was reviewed by The Who?

@@JOHNWLOUCKS so many of those I have interviewed recalled that generous side of Roger. '68 must have been a wonderful year to see and meet the Who.
A “Holy Grail” track for me! Awesome!!

Incredible! God bless you for releasing these gems!
My favorite Who era is 1966-1968. They were crazier, desperate, and had to work with more limited material. So they jammed and did more covers.
Brilliant idea to supplement the book with excerpts from those concerts that Who fans missed 👍
Magnifico! Grazie Signore!
Fantastic! Got a spell of the gig at The Jaguar Club -68, might´ve been the first for "Heaven & Hell" ? Thanks an awful lot for putting these gem´s out for us true WHO fanatics!
St. Charles Illinois ?
@@jimfritz2087 - Think it was, still have the tape.
@1967DIF We were at that show . And The New Place in Cary Illinois and The Majestic in Lake Geneva , Wisconsin . I saw The WHO 12 times with Keith Moon 1967 / 75 .
The tape says 10/8/68 and it´s about 50-60 minutes long... I´ll have a BIB and a listen this weekend shall i? 😜
@@1967DIF The dates I have are New Place 7/31/68 , Majestic 8/3/68 , Jaguar Club 8/10/68. So it sounds right. Small world
Fantastic, thanks for posting!
And thanks for all your hard work researching The Who!!
Fantastic! Thanks to Edoardo!
Awesome stuff! And performed live right in my very own hometown too!
Wow! What a find! Cheers for posting man. ✌️ 😀 👍
I love Daltrey's gritty voice, pure rock and roll. I never liked the high-pitched screamers...Pete had a high voice but it was pleasant, and John sounded great before he damaged his chords....
Super enjoyable to hear now!
I think I love you..ha ha ha ha thanks so much for this.
Thanks for posting Ed! ❤
What a tasty little treat! Moonie is going nuts! Cheers mate
Is this the year for who fans or something? Incredible
Insanely cool! Thanks!
Thanks!
GOLD!
From them I got glory
Maximum R&B
Wow

The Who s setlist show from 1975 until today, is basically 75% the same songs. So this Is a true surprise.

Pete claimed they played Rael twice only in Glasgow and Manchester UK.
@@brianshockledge3241which date? I guess 67-68
As a mate from England they are 4and 5 mates

Peter Jackson used something to that effect on the Beatles: Get Back series to clear up some audio issues. So it's possible.
Improv a la mode !! They open w/ 7 min. version of this NFW !!!!!!!!!! Too fricken cool to discribe !
It's sad and pathetic that 1968 was the peak year of The Who live in terms of setlist variety.
You can make a case for 1971, too. Of course, the variety came in the form of new songs (some quickly dropped).
Dommage que le son n'est pas terrible c'est un de mes titres préféré 🥁🎤🎸🔥👍( Guy platteau Marseille France 😎)
Never heard this live before. Any chance a tape of the whole gig exists?
@@GenerationXReunion very unlikely... Partly because they did two different sets, and I doubt anyone brought enough tape to record both. This and the other songs from this show you can find in my channel are from the first set.
@ Cheers for the reply
