I got one. It's from a crummy pocket recorder, but I EQ'd it to my best so it
is tolerable to fair now. It is from West Chicago on Feb 9. Let me assure,
this
was a loud show. My ears rang for 10 hours afterwards.

OK then, here's my list:
I recommend:
Accept No Substitute (yes, I know it's off speed, but it's still great)
Maximum BBC
Shakin' All Over
The Tommy Demos
The Lifehouse Demos
San Francisco 1971 (poor quality boot, but a great show)
The Punk Meets the Godfather
Merry Christmas Mr. Who (I beg to differ)
and Life with the Moons (good quality and humorous too)
Such a Night
Pure Rock Theater


Stay away from:
Cobo Hall 1972
Moon Life
Who's Back (Max BBC has most of it with much better quality)

and I am indifferent towards:                       
BBC Files
>From Lifehouse to Leeds (most of it is commercially availible now)
Taking the Capitol
Pinball Wizard
Live in Essen (also known as RockPalast)
Shea Stadium 1982
Talkin' Bout Their Generation (interview only with a fraudulant cover, no
Keith)
The Farewell Tour
Join Together Vol. 2
Live at Swansea
Gather Your Wits
Pete Meaden Band
Tales from the Who
Lifehouse Live

look forward to hearing from ya soon.
