Amsterdam Opera House

"At the end of 2001, I was a branch in a tree distributing this version of The Amsterdam 1969 show. To my ears, the stereo channels are reversed, Pete comes out of the left channel and John, the right. For my own listening I made a corrected version, but in the spirit of this group, I'm offering SHNs of the original disks I received as a branch."

Here's the description from the original source of the seed:

quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My source in Amsterdam worked on a Who anniversary special, for the same radio station that broadcast the show in 1969. He suggested that the DJ use some of this show, so a technician produced the original masters. He took the chance to make a copy on their professional reel-to-reel equipment. Our CDR was transferred off his 1st generation reels. Although this show's been booted repeatedly this is the REAL source. It sounds amazing, like it was taped off the radio yesterday, perfect except for a little tape hiss in the very quiet bits.

My source was upset that this show was recently booted from a copy of his tapes. Even though it contains the complete song list, he removed key bits of dialogue from every copy he made and was able to find the source of the boot. His "revenge" was to offer the COMPLETE show to anyone who wanted it and encouraged someone to do a tape tree to discourage money being spent on the bootleg. According to him, the recent boot "Amsterdam Journey" on the Hiwatt label is the one taken off his copy.
