Re: [SurroundSound] The Who - 1974 Quad radio broadcast

Hey guys,  thought you might be interested to know that I have been intermittently doing some r&d on this broadcast over the last year.   I'm pretty sure I have played around with this particular source, and it does seem to be SQ.  However, I found that the transfer is a little frustrating.  One side of the mix sounded kind of brittle and trebly, while the other side was pretty dark and undistorted.  The quad spread is a little subtle, although it did seem to add some of the sound bouncing off the back walls of the Capital Center in the back speakers.   

    Another thing that was kind of disappointing was the performance itself.   It is ok but not great, there is a fair amount out of tune background  singing, and overall not their best night.   Quad aside, the Tanglewood 1970 performance that showed up on Wolfgangs vault a few months back is a much better representation of the band at their best.   The performance and the sound are both pretty amazing.   Also, I have seen some other tapes of the following tour (by numbers) that seemed to indicate the band were a little more consistent on that tour, sadly no quad there, either.    

     Having said this,  if I find a workable enough source of this I would be happy to do some work on it and upload it at some point if folks were still interested.   If there are any anonymous sources out there that have a clean copy, maybe you could make it turn up somewhere (like the hub, maybe) .   - CP

If it's truly pre-FM from a quad broadcast, yes.
