Heart Breaker HB 810 1/2
Compare with;
John’s Birthday Party (CD) (Heart Breaker HB 810 1/2)
Venue: Alameda County Stadium, Oakland, California, USA, Saturday, October 10,
1976
Recording: Audience
Comments: This is an audience recording that’s not quite up to par with the sound
quality as on John’s Birthday Party (CD) (Heart Breaker HB 810 1/2), played the
day before (October 9th). This one contains a couple of major drop-outs throughout
and my guess is that due to age the source tape seems to suffer from deteriation
(when Pete dedicates “Shakin’ All Over” to the Grateful Dead and their fans the
sound seems to drop-out and warble all over the place. This happens in number of
places) It’s their typical set from ’75 / ‘ 76, with the exception that they perform “My
Wife” instead of “Boris the Spider”. In my opinon this disc is for people who want to
hear Shakin’ All Over” and “Johnny B. Goode” as well as Pete talking about how nice
it was to play with the “The Dead”, other wise stick with “John’s Birthday Party”.
One thing that’s interesting is that after Keith’s intro’s the “Tommy” portion Pete calls
it the “Punk version”. Artwork includes period photographs of Keith, Roger and Pete.
Inner cover has reproductions of the posters advertising this show. Back cover has
a long shot of the stage as The Who perform(note: photo is reversed making Pete &
John play left-handed) Disc one is pink, disc two is yellow.
