Bell Boy (Keith Moon Dialogue)

Venue: Guild Hall, Portsmouth, UK, Wednesday, May 22, 1974
Recording: Audience
Comments: Not a great sounding show, though not horrible either. Some distortion.
The Who Concert File book states as follows: “The Who played a special “thank
you” concert for the extras who worked on the Tommy movie. It was a “closed con-
cert” and by all accounts the relaxed atmosphere inspired the band to play as well
as thy ever had. The geneal  public weren’t admitted, though as “sold out” notice
appeared in Melody Maker on May 11, 1974. During Bell Boy, the band got so out
of time with the synthesiser backing that Pete ordered everyone to stop, had Bob
Pridden rewind the tape, and the song was begun again. This was probably the
worst experience the band had with the difficult Quadrophenia backing tapes but,
since the show wasn’t before a paying audience, it didn’t seem to matter so much.
The band started again in good humour, and Bob Pridden probably breathed a sigh
of relief!” (p.164)
