Masterport 244
Venue: Wembley Stadium, London, UK, August 18 7, 1979
Recording: Audience + Amateur Film
Comments: NEW GREAT 3 CD + 1 DVD boot. This is a really interesting new re-
lease on the Masterport label which documents the return of The Who post Keith
Moon in a great show – here supported by other (old & new) artists such as AC/DC
The Stranglers, Nils Lofgren. I greatly appreciated these first shows of 79 since
they recall their wonderful return on the European scene (excluding the Rainbow
premier) and the Frejus shows. I was fortunate enough to personally attended these
shows and they remain the best post Moon shows I’ve ever seen. While listening
and watching the Wembley show, I must say they show the same power and enthu-
siasm as three months earlier, with a great response from the audience. The only
thing lacking is probably the inadequate amplification to satisfy over 70,000 pairs of
ears! In fact, while listening to this audience recording one can notice that the sound
is too low. Very nice the amateur footage on the DVD though, which also includes
footage of the supports groups. Featured also at the end of The Who’s set, is a back-
stage interview with PT. At the end the film, you see also John Entwistle. The art-
work is remarkable with nice photos, and one leaflet containing Pete’s interview. A
Really wonderful item in limited numbered edition.
