Live In Toronto 12-11-75 (CD) (Substitute Recordings 382-828332-2)
Toronto 1975 (CD) (Heart Breaker HB-8081/2)

Venue: Maple Leaf Gardens, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Thursday, December 11, 1975
Recording: Audience
Comments: The pun on the title is much more obvious when the titles is stated as
"Who Raw" (Hoorah) According to Hot Wacks, this was apparently also pressed on
red and blue vinyl and is an extremely difficult bootleg LP to find. The two copies I
have seen are the red marble colored vinyl and an identical colored vinyl pattern in
blue vinyl Absolutely stunning LPs. If only the sound quality matched the CDs from
the same shows. Obviously the difference in sound quality must have been due to
them being from two different sources rather than inferior technology with which the
recordings were cleaned up. Though this vinyl boot does not contain the complete
show, the Japanese releases of this show on CD (see the items listed above) do
contain either a much expanded version of this show or, as in the case of Toronto
1975 (CD) (Heart Breaker HB-8081/2), contain the entire show. The sound quality
of the CD's is excellent for an audience recording but the LP versions are not (as
mentioned above). Everything seems to work here. The sound is excellent, PT's jams
hit the mark every time and the energy and excitement is quite apparent. The blue
colored vinyl LP came with a pink colored paper insert as the cover vs. the yellow
insert for the red vinyl as depicted above.
