Here is a description of this recording RE:Record Collector Nov 2000 issue: If the Young Vic show revealed the Who in a period of uncertainty, by the end of the year, thanks to the success of "Who's Next" and constant gigging, LA Times critic Robert Hilburn spoke for many by describing them as "The Greatest Show On Earth". This Long Beach concert catches the band feeding off a rowdy crowd, prompting Townshend's infamous outcry: "This is a fucking rock'n'roll concert, not a fucking tea party!" (this comment was later used to introduce the "Thirty Years of Maximum R&B" box set). "Baba O'Riley", "My Wife", "Behind Blue Eyes" and "Won't Get Fooled Again" have already become an integral part of the set, with "Tommy" reduced to just five songs. It's a shame "Bargain" wasn't retained, as the band always performed it dynamically - listen to the San Francisco version, taped three nights later and released officially on the box set for confirmation.
