   It was most likely 1973. Her album "Food Of Love" came out 
that year and contains the Who song. I've been trying to track
this down since I first heard of it - sadly, to no avail.   :(
   Could it have been "Old Grey Whistle Test"? Does anyone have
any other info on this performance? Too bad you don't rememeber
