The Violent Side -- The Who Live at Woodstock Festival 1969

Biggest liability on this double CD is a quite noticeable tape hiss
(compare "Sparks," e.g., to the same cut on _The Kids Are Alright_
soundtrack CD). The biggest asset is that it is at the correct speed,
unlike such wastes of plastic as, for example, _The Who Starring The
Who_. The tape hiss is less noticeable during the loud bits, of
course. Near as I can tell, it has the entire Woodstock set, in
order, and tacks on three bonus tracks from the Young Vic April 1971
at the end. An additional amusing oddity is the track listings, which
are almost totally accurate on the slipcover, but are given related
but fanciful names on the CDs themselves. I'd rate it an 8, with
points deducted for sound quality only; the set is excellent.
