Sound: Very good audience

Time: Approx. 2 Hours

Set List:

I Can't Explain, Summertime Blues, My Wife, My Generation, The Real Me, The Punk Meets the Godfather, I'm One, 5:15, Sea and Sand, Drowned, Bell Boy, Dr. Jimmy, Love Reign O'er Me, Won't Get Fooled Again, Pinball Wizard, See Me Feel Me

Comments: A really good show in front of a rather rowdy French crowd. Quadrophenia is really fast and strong and the jamming in 5:15 and Drowned is excellent with many passages of unaccompanied guitar, bass, and vocals while Keith plays with the time signatures and entrances....great stuff! The ending pummels the already rowdy crowd into a frenzy.

Sound: Very good audience

Time: Approx. 100 Minutes

Set List:

I Can't Explain, Summertime Blues, My Wife, My Generation, The Real Me, The Punk Meets the Godfather, 5:15, Sea and Sand, Drowned, Bell Boy, Dr. Jimmy, Love Reign O'er Me, Won't Get Fooled Again, Pinball Wizard, See Me Feel Me

Comments: This was the biggest show of the tour, in front of 26,000. The show is great. Pete plays some great, funky guitar figures before The Real Me starts, and it is very effective. Quadrophenia sounds strong and Drowned is over 10 minutes long and absolutely the best! An excellent show in a very vibrant and good recording.

Sound: Very good audience

Time: Approx. 90 Minutes

Set List:

I Can't Explain, Summertime Blues, My Wife, My Generation, The Real Me, The Punk Meets the Godfather, I'm One, 5:15, Sea and Sand, Bell Boy, Drowned, Dr. Jimmy, Love Reign O'er Me, Won't Get Fooled Again, Pinball Wizard

Comments: This was the last date of the 1974 French tour and the last Quadrophenia show. This is a very good show, and the ferocious treatment of the opening numbers serves as a nice taster for Quadrophenia, which sounds very good and strong, especially Drowned and 5:15. Love Reign O'er Me is Roger's finest hour, as always. This is a rare show and a very good one to have...get it!

Sound: Excellent audience

Time: Approx. 90 Minutes

Set List:

The Seeker, Big Boss Man, Substitute, Amorguise, If I Were a Carpenter, Happy jack, Tattoo, Join My Gang, Behind Blue Eyes, Going to New York, Tapes of My Generation, North Country Girl, Let's See Action, Pinball Wizard, See Me Feel Me, My Generation, Magic Bus, My Generation

Comments: This is Pete's first ever solo show and what an excellent show! He is all alone playing guitar along with some backing tapes he made and it is absolutely phenomenal! The selection of material is great, including Join My Gang, an aborted 1966 Who song. Pete jumps off the stage and punches a heckler in the beginning but this show is wonderful and one of my all time favorites!

Sound: Very good audience

Time: Approx. 45 Minutes

Set List:

Tattoo, Boris the Spider, Drowned, Bell Boy (abandoned), Bell Boy, Dr. Jimmy, Won't Get Fooled Again, Pinball Wizard

Comments: This was a closed gig played for the cast of the Tommy film, and was not open to the public. The Who play a very relaxed and powerful gig, and Pete doesn't lose his temper when the Bell Boy tape malfunctions and the band gets out of time...he orders it rewound and they start again...go figure! Drowned is wonderful and the whole gig is really rare and great.

Sound: Very good audience

Time: Approx. 100 Minutes

Set List:

I Can't Explain, Summertime Blues, Young Man Blues, Baba O'Riley, Behind Blue Eyes, Substitute, I'm a Boy, Tattoo, Boris the Spider, Drowned, Bell Boy, Dr. Jimmy, Won't Get Fooled Again, Pinball Wizard, See Me Feel Me, Magic Bus, My Generation, Waspman, Naked Eye, My Generation Blues, Drum Solo, 5:15

Comments: A really good first night for the 4-night run. Pete dismissed these shows as being "terrible" but they are in fact quite good. Maybe not as good as Charlton or Leeds, but still excellent. A really interesting set list, including the only time Waspman was done live and the first time Keith is left alone to play a drum solo. Nice to see a lot of Quadrophenia material being played live after it was dropped in February 1974. Drowned in particular is thunderous! A really good show and a rarity.

Sound: Very good audience

Time: Approx. 100 Minutes

Set List:

I Can't Explain, Summertime Blues, Young Man Blues, Baba O'Riley, Substitute, 5:15, Behind Blue Eyes, Tattoo, Boris the Spider, Bell Boy, Dr. Jimmy, Won't Get Fooled Again, Pinball Wizard, See Me Feel Me, My Generation, My Generation Blues, The Punk Meets the Godfather, Drowned

Comments: The second night and an even better show than the first. Once again an interesting set list, with the towering Punk Meets the Godfather played. 5:15 and Drowned emerge as the two great jam songs and this whole show features some really great playing. A rarity once again and a treat.

Sound: Very good audience

Time: Approx. 90 Minutes

Set List:

I Can't Explain, Summertime Blues, Young Man Blues, Baba O'Riley, Behind Blue Eyes, Substitute, 5:15, Tattoo, Boris the Spider, Bell Boy, Dr. Jimmy, Won't Get Fooled Again, Pinball Wizard, See Me Feel Me, Drowned, My Generation, Gloria, You Really Got Me, Big Boss Man, The Punk Meets the Godfather

Comments: The third night and an even better set! They are having fun at the end...look at all of those cover songs thrown into the My Generation jam. Drowned and 5:15 once again emerge as great jams and another rare and excellent show from this 4-night run.

Sound: Very good audience

Time: Approx. 2 Hours

Set List:

I Can't Explain, Summertime Blues, Young Man Blues, Baba O'Riley, Behind Blue Eyes, My Wife, Magic Bus, Tattoo, Dr. Jimmy, Won't Get Fooled Again, Pinball Wizard, See Me Feel Me, My Generation, Drowned, Boris the Spider, Substitute, The Punk Meets the Godfather, I'm One, Naked Eye

Comments: The fourth of 4 sold out shows at this venue, these shows were cited by Pete as some of the worst ever performed...they aren't that bad. There are some great moments full over energy and it is nice to see some Quadrophenia numbers since the album had been dropped from the act in February 1974. A shame they didn't keep on performing it. A good show with perhaps a little weak playing from Pete but he still sounds very good. This show is still definitely worth seeking out.
