The Who - Sleep On The Beach (Broadcast Recording) - DOUBLE LP

1973 Broadcast From The Who’s Quadrophenia Tour

By 1973, The Who had begun recording their Quadrophenia album, the rock opera about mod culture.
The Quadrophenia tour started in Stoke on Trent in October ‘73, the same month the record was released.

Their US tour started on 20 November at the Cow Palace; a legendary show during which Keith Moon passed out, prompting Pete Townshend to ask the audience, "Can anyone play the drums? I mean somebody good".
The show was completed with audience member Scott Halpin behind Moon’s kit.

The Who’s penultimate gig in the US during their ‘73 tour, was performed at the Spectrum in Philadelphia on December 4th.
Playing a stunning concert which for many fans was the best show of the tour, The Who ripped through an extraordinary set, bookended by classics, but with a dynamic selection of numbers from Quadrophenia at its core.
