Mark look again, my copy DOES have Behind Blue Eyes.   The sound 
quality is great, for an aud tape. :-)

This is what I know about the '75 US tour.  The first week or so the 
set was slightly different from the remainder of the tour.  KC is the 
pivital show as it is the first show (that I have a setlist for) that 
has the set changes.  The basic set is the same as above for the tour.  
The early shows through at least Hampton, VA (11/27) had Boris The 
Spider, Drowned, some shows had Tattoo, and all shows through Memphis 
(11/23) had However Much I Booze.  All of these songs were dropped and 
My Wife and Magic Bus (it had been played before in Atlanta 11/24) were 
added.  

Of course you guys in the UK/Europe got the best shows, set wise 
anyway.  The first two shows in Stafford, UK 10/3-4 along had most of 
the basic set plus Heaven & Hell, Tattoo, Eyesight To The Blind, 
Drowned, Bell Boy, 5:15, and Punk and The Godfather.  As you can see by 
the time they got to the US most of these had been dropped.  So if you 
want to hear the most variety of songs at Who concerts, go to the early 
shows.  The most extreme example of this pattern is the first Quad show 
at Stoke-On-Trent, the only complete Quad performance (at least until 
June 29).
