The Who - BBC Sessions 2000 [EAC - FLAC] (oan) torrent

BBC Sessions by The Who was released 15 February 2000 on Polydor Records and MCA
Records. It contains 24 tracks and 2 jingles recorded live at the BBC studios in London.

With the exception of the jingles being used to bookend the album, and the third track being
misplaced, The Who's recordings are presented here in chronological order.

NOTE

Due to publishing restrictions, the US version dropped 'Man With The Money' and edited out
the few lines from 'Spoonful' contained in 'Shakin' All Over'.

Review by Richie Unterberger

A fine compilation of 1965-73 BBC performances, the majority of the tracks hailing from 1965-
67, although some are drawn from 1970 and 1973. As one of the best live bands ever, the
Who as expected come through pretty well in the live-in-the-studio environment, although the
arrangements usually stick close to the records. Most of the songs were done by the group
for studio releases as well, but there are a few covers that they never put on their albums or
singles at the time, making this essential for the fan. Those numbers include the obscure
James Brown tune "Just You and Me, Darling," "Dancing in the Street," ""Good Lovin'," and
"Leaving Here" (although a mid-1960s studio version of that last song was eventually
released). Of the other tracks, particularly worthwhile are "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere," with
its extensive feedback solo, quite a challenge to do live in May 1965; "The Good's Gone,"
which has a fuzz solo not on the studio version; and the 1970 performance of "Shakin' All
Over," which might be the best rendition of that concert staple that they ever did. This does
not have a few BBC songs that have shown up on bootlegs; particularly unfortunate
exclusions are "So Sad About Us," "Summertime Blues," and their 1966 cover of the Everly
Brothers' "Man with Money."
