Live in Texas '75


Description


Summary: Filmed at The Summit in Houston, Texas on November 20th, 1975, this film captures a typically incendiary live performance by The Who at the start of the US leg of their tour in support of "The Who By Numbers" album which had been released earlier that year. The original video footage has been cleaned and the sound remixed by longtime Who collaborator Jon Astley but the show still retains a rawness that encapsulates the energy of The Who's performance. The set list stretches across the band's career from classic early singles such as "My Generation" and "Substitute" through an extensive "Tommy" section and up to tracks from the then newly released "By Numbers".

"Townshend er med den karakteristiske hvide kedeldragt trukket i arbejdstøjet i såvel konkret som overført forstand og Daltrey er præcis så virilt velsyngende som i Tommy. Og så ruller de sig ellers ud; fra pomp og pragt til protopunket simplicitet, fra kaos til kontrol og tilbage igen og med en passende ekstensiv Tommy-sektion bestående af otte sange indlagt midtvejs".
