>Thanks for this correction Bruce. Because YMB at the London Coliseum was
shot from the side of the stage I assumed I'm Free, shot frontally as I
recall, was from the Woodstock show. This brings up another point: apart
from these two tunes has anything else from the London Coliseum show ever
been released on video, commercial or otherwise, or as a bootleg album? And
if I can revive a discussion about the (more or less) contemporaneous Isle
of Wight show, has anyone seen this laser disk we've heard about repeatedly
featuring the Who's full performance at IoW? If so is the sound up to par?
The performances on the 30 years' video appeared to me to lack a discernible
bass track - most unfortunate given the otherwise evident quality of the
Who's performances at IoW...Gary M.
