180-gram double LP plus booklet

Recorded live Sept. 18, 1971 at The Oval, London, England

Mastered by Jon Astley and Layla Astley at Close To The Edge

Ahead of their highly anticipated farewell tour, The Who are set to release a new live album, Live At The Oval 1971. The album is the first-ever official recording of The Who's set at 'Goodbye Summer: A Rock Concert in aid of Famine Relief for the People of Bangladesh,' held on The Oval cricket ground in Kennington, South London on September 18, 1971. Black vinyl 2LP.

Newly mixed from the original 8-track analog multi-track tapes, this concert shows The Who continuing their dominance as the top live rock band of the era. The outstanding performance before 35,000 concertgoers culminates in Pete Townshend and Keith Moon destroying their equipment in a grand finale. 

Previously only available as a poor-quality bootleg, this legendary show has never received an official release until now. At that show, Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon performed a 15-song setlist highlighted with staples such as "Behind Blue Eyes," "Won't Get Fooled Again," "Pinball Wizard," and more.
