WF:

Well, I hope it's true...but given the track record of Track Records so far,
I doubt we'll get any more live stuff after the remixes are done. Are the
people you spoke to at the convention in a real position to know, or is this
as nebulous as Pete's knowledge of alternate versions?
And I really don't see the point of a two disk live set, even if TOMMY is
part of it. UNLESS, and only if, it is a complete `69 or `70 show. And
that's not what I've heard it will be.
I still think we should push for a 5 disk set, much in the same vein as the
Springsteen set. That is the only thing that makes sense at this point. MCA
and Co. must realize the popularity of boxed sets by now.
Why is it that The Who are the only major band to get shorted in this
manner, time after time after time...?
