The Who - BBC Sessions, Volume 8: In Concert, Glastonbury Festival, Worthy Farm, Pilton, Britain, 6-24-2007

Here's the eighth and probably last BBC sessions album by the Who. This wasn't mainly a BBC concert, but the Who had the most prestigious spot of being the headlining act for the final night of the Glastonbury Festival in 2007, playing in front of over 100,000 people. Many sets from that festival every year get played on the BBC, so that makes this a BBC concert.

This concert came about six months after the Who released the studio album "Endless Wire" in late 2006. It was their first studio album since 1982. I'm not a fan of it. (I think their 2019 album "Who" is much better.) But it turns out that's not much of a factor here, because they only played two songs from it, "Fragments" and "Tea and Theatre."

Considering this comes from a bootleg of a BBC broadcast, the sound quality isn't as good as I would expected. Very good, yes, but not excellent. One big problem was the lead vocals were surprisingly low. But I did my usual thing, using the UVR5 audio editing program to boost the vocals in relation to the instruments. Now, the sound quality is better, maybe borderline excellent.  

The Who did played the Glastonbury Festival after this, in 2015. But the band suffered equipment problems, and lead guitarist Pete Townshend said the show "it was one of the very worst we ever played." So I don't have that one, and I'm not planning on posting it. I don't know of any other BBC concerts they'd done after this one.

This album is an hour and 23 minutes long.

The cover photo comes from this exact concert. However, in the original, Roger Daltrey (holding the microphone) and Pete Townshend (playing the guitar in front) were what I'd guess about ten feet further apart. There was nothing but empty space between them, so I used Photoshop to move them closer together. There also was a distracting video screen behind the drums, so I removed that.
