The Who
On September 18, 1971, The Who headlined the "Goodbye Summer: A Rock Concert" at The Oval cricket ground in Kennington, South London. This benefit event, organized to aid famine relief for the people of Bangladesh, attracted over 35,000 attendees. The performance, long sought after by fans, is now officially released as 'Live at the Oval 1971'.
The concert captures The Who at a pivotal moment, shortly after the release of their acclaimed album "Who's Next" and the setlist includes five tracks from the then new album.
This release has been newly mixed from the original 8-track analog multi-track tapes by Bob Pridden and Richard Whittaker, with mastering by Jon and Layla Astley. The packaging features art direction and design by Richard Evans and a cover illustration by Josh Townshend, Pete Townshend’s nephew. Liner notes are provided by Andy Neill.
