Compare with; Pete Townshend: The Academy (CD) (Unknown) Pete Townshend: Music Must Change (CD) (Red Phantom RPCD 2151/52) Pete Townshend: Rough Boy (CD) (Midas Touch WNS-668) Pete Townshend: Rough Boy (CD) (Gold Standard / Dime Time D. T. 1001 / WNS-668)
Venue: Brooklyn Academy, New York, New York, USA, August 7, 1993 Recording: Sound-board Comments: The scans are not that great due to the absolutely horrible use of color on the original artwork. The bootlegger combined orange and tangerine with a teal blue. The effect is unsettling at best. The discs are silver, with printed labels and song titles. Disc One clocks in at 69:54, and disc two at 69.14. The performance is not specifically credited, but it is the 1993 Brooklyn Academy show, incomplete, of course, but almost all of the show. It basically has what was broadcast on pay-per- view, and ends with Face the Face. There are a few mistakes on the label and cover track listings. But, since you can't read the type on the back cover due to the color selection, no matter. The disc is OK sound, definitely a satelite feed SBD source. This was really done better with the 2 CD set Pete Townshend: Music Must Change (CD) (Red Phantom) Compare with the that CD.
