The Who will finally release an official album of their much bootlegged 1968 Fillmore East shows for their 50th anniversary in April.
Originally planned as the follow-up to The Who Sell Out, the release of Live At The Fillmore East was scrapped when it was discovered that only part of the first night’s concert had been recorded. Luckily the second night was also captured and this has now been fully restored and mixed by Who sound engineer Bob Pridden from the original four-track tapes.
