Pontiac Silverdome 1975
Cover Inside
Label / Index # Outrider OR-9925
Venue: Metropolitan Stadium (The Silverdome) Pontiac, Michigan, USA, Saturday, December 6, 1975 Recording: Soundboard Comments: This is an excellent show of which bits and pieces have long been avail- able on video and now finally on CD as well brought to us from the Outrider label. This is a limited numbered edition of 300 discs. The CD comes packaged with a 12 page color booklet with photos from the show inside a single laminate sleeve. The sound is better than the video and leaves little to be desired considering its age. For fans of PT's guitar jams on such tracks as My Generation, Join Together and into Roadrunner, it's really quite nice to finally have these on a “professionally" done CD.
"Recorded on videotape from the closed-circuit back-projection with stereo sound, concert footage of the Roadrunnner jam at the end of 'My Generation' from this show was used by Jeff Stein for The Kids Are Alright but the con- cert now appears to missing from the Who's archives." (The Who Concert File, p. 171) A performance such as this should not be kept in a vault or closet, it should be played - often and loud! I like this one right up there with Toronto 75.
As the supply of limited edition numbered CD's has been exhausted, reissues of this CD are still available on the Outrider label (gold disc with original CD artwork - NOT a CD-R) but do not include the limited edition gold sticker on the cover nor do the 12 page booklet.
