The Who – Amsterdam 1969: Volume One (12-Inch Double-LP)

This double album showcases The Who’s electrifying concert at the Concertgebouw, in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, on 29 September 1969, during the Tommy Tour.

The band had planned to perform Tommy live since starting the project. Following extensive rehearsals in April 1969, the live version running order was changed, and four songs (Cousin Kevin, Underture, Sensation and Welcome) were dropped entirely.

Here, The Who play a portion of their stunning live Tommy suite, in addition to a number of other fan favourites from the length of their career to date, such as I Can’t Explain, Substitute, I’m a Boy and more.

Broadcast across the airwaves by AVRO-FM, this amazing set boasts astounding fidelity and captures the band at the peak of their powers.
