Notes included in the original torrent:


NOTES: I got it through trade, maybe from Tom Keene but I'm not sure directly (at least he's the source as it's his recognizable sleeve label).
It's the opening date of their first '68 American Tour (supported by Blue Cheer !) : a great performance with rare Picture Of Lily, Relax and My Way.
The sound is very good for an audience recording : the voices, guitar and bass are clear and not distorded or saturated like other recording of this year. Just that the drums are buried as if the taper was distant or rather because of the rawness/loudness of the sound of the band.
There are of course some tape imperfections like warbles, but few hiss. The speed is sometimes changing, running too slow inside some songs.
Overall, the tape almost captures well the loud and exciting sound of the band at the beginning of their peak.
The Stage Banters are intact.
The Who Concert File states that Relax, Shakin' All Over & My Generation were long jams lasting up 10 minutes, but it doesn't seem as there are no obvious cuts... it's the complete show, except some slight cuts mentioned.

Enjoy !

I got this from LLR. The following is from the notes in the original torrent:

01-04 from Marquee Club, London, 16/2/65
05-17 from Studio Bellevue, Hilversum, 20/9/65
18 from Richmond Jazz & Blues Festival, 6/8/65

All the Marquee tracks are incomplete.

For anyone who has never heard the Dutch TV show from '65, here it is!  There seems to be confusion has to how this was made.  It was either an audience member with a reel to reel tape machine under their chair, or someone at home taping from the TV with a handheld mic.  Either way THE QUALITY OF THIS RECORDING IS VERY POOR!!!!!!!!
