This show is the first King Biscuit Flower Hour branded as a "Superbiscuit." It's 90 minutes instead of the usual 60 minutes.  There were shows longer than 60 minutes prior to this but none carried the "Superbiscuit" designation. In the July 1986 edition of Broadcasting, it's mentioned there were six Superbiscuits planned.

Bill Minkin calls the show a "composite concert," which means they patched together parts of two Who concerts from 1973 and 1982 with 1985 tracks from Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend's Deep End. They've also edited in interviews with Roger Daltrey, John Entwistle, Pete Townshend, and Keith Moon (who had been dead for over seven and a half years at the time of the broadcast).

The usual King Biscuit runout grooves have the letters "KB" for a regular show or BOB (for a Best of the Biscuit) followed by ascending number.  The Super Biscuit does not follow this style...so the show the prior week was #622, and the following week was #623.  The Super Biscuit was marked as SB-1. There were additional 90 minute Super Biscuits by Judas Priest and GTR in 1986.  After that, it's all 60 minute shows, so the six Superbiscuits per year did not happen.

The official cola of the teenage wasteland.

In "Who Are You," King Biscuit censors two f-words by reversing just the offending word ("backmasking"). As I've done before, I produced an uncensored version by reversing the reversed portions and restoring the f-words.  The uncensored version is exactly the same time as the original censored version so it can be seamlessly swapped in as a replacement.  Đ®åⒻṬëŕṽøï advises you to clear the room of children before playing the uncensored version.

At 3:42 in "Won't Get Fooled Again," the stereo sound merges into mono until about 4:18, when it expands back out into stereo.  The version on Concert Vault says their version is 11:06. The Superbiscuit track must be edited as it's only 9:55.

Some of the interviews are mixed over the music.  I've chosen to place the edit points so that you can cut most of them out.  However, a Pete Townsend interview is dropped on top of the last third of Under A Raging Moon, so I've left that one as-is.

I also tossed in some press coverage to keep you reading actual journalism instead of AI-generated glibbity-gloop. The Toronto concert was the first time the Who did a farewell forever tour.  The Toronto Star put together as special newspaper section dedicated to the Who, with full page pictures, biographies, and best of all, WHO THEMED ADVERTISING.

35 Charlie Kendall - National Broadcast Outro (fragment)

Digitized Sept. 2023 from my master copy of the broadcast, recorded from KFOG-FM on two Maxell XL-II C90s. No breaks or tape flips.  The national broadcast was carried on more than 300 stations.  New York's WNEW broadcast an hour-long pre-concert show, but the national broadcast began about 7 1/2 minutes before the concert.  I've included that introduction.  Unfortunately, I did not record the post-concert outro and credits, so that's missing.

There's a pre-FM of this circulating, but "Won't Get Fooled Again" is cut off on it.

This particular concert received press coverage all over the country.  I've included several newspaper reviews in the artwork folder.  And because we love Our Beloved Audience, I took the time to sweep up scraps from the internet for your perusal: backstage passes, a ticket, and a poster.

The Who reunited in 1989 to commemorate their 25th Anniversary, and did a concert at New York City's Radio City Music Hall in support of Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy Foundation and the Rock-and-Roll Hall of Fame.  The entire concert was broadcast by satellite, so there are numerous versions of this show in circulation.

Westwood One rebroadcast just the "Tommy" portion of the show later that year in October, and again in 1996 as Westwood One Superstars In Concert 96-44, adding "I Can't Explain" and "Substitute" to the "Tommy" tracks.   The is the LP version from '89.   Our old pal Steve Downes adds narration explaining the plot throughout the show.  This version is "pre-FM" so there's no added radio compression, and I declicked it to the best of my ability.

*THANKS TO THE ORIGINAL POSTER

Man I've been so busy lately over at the other places putting in the showers, sinks, commodes,etc. I haven't forgotten the Wagon though. God (Jobe) knows that with trying to keep up with the other places, time constraints come into play. Oh yeah, hey Anon the next time your house, box, or the outdoor shitter you use, cause you live in your car, or for that matter your mother's basement floods call a cop, doctor, or your stepfather. About this recording. One of the best sounding shows I've heard. Grade A. Great performance too.
