Here is something I found in there forums, it even shows you the original master tapes. That shows you how dedicated they are to putting out the corrct material from their vaults...
We are very excited to post two exceptional shows by The Who to the Concert Vault this week. We'd like fans of The Who to read this post completely - we have a puzzle that we need your help to solve.
As many of you already know, we've had a show up on the Vault for a while now from The Who identified as the Philadelphia 12/4/73 show. A few Vault regulars have stated in a separate forum thread that at least some tracks from this show are actually from The Who's 12/6/73 show at the Capital Center in Largo, MD, and they are correct. What has been on the Vault was an amalgam that was created for a single King Biscuit Flower Hour radio broadcast.
We recently uncovered the original master tapes for both of these shows. We are missing a single track from the Philadelphia show, and the Capital Center show is complete. Both are high quality recordings of the band's original Quadrophenia tour.
Now to the puzzle. It is well documented that The Who played in Boston on 12/3, Philadelphia on 12/4, and Largo, MD on 12/5. It is also well documented that the latter two shows were recorded for the King Biscuit Flower Hour. In fact you can hear the band mention "Philadelphia" several times during the 12/4 show on the Concert Vault.
Imagine our surprise, when we found the reels for the Philadelphia show, that they are all marked 12/3, not 12/4. They are marked consistently this way, and the studio engineer comments that are captured on tape also reference 12/3. We have included a few images of the tape boxes below.
Have these tapes been mis-dated in our collective understanding for years?
Or did the original engineers just get this wrong when they labeled the tapes?
We at the Vault are split on this. Our engineers believe that engineers would have never made a mistake like this :-) Others among us are certain that this is the Philadelphia show, and equally certain that the Philadelphia show took place on 12/4
We would love to hear from you. Images of ticket stubs, other physical proof, anything that supports one of these conclusions is welcome. Let the debate begin.
Cheers! Mr. PC
