The Who - BBC Sessions, Volume 7: Electric Proms, Roundhouse, London, Britain, 10-29-2006

About a week ago, I posted a BBC album by the Who that I'd previously missed. It turns out I actually missed two. So there's been a lot of renumbering. There's one after this that I had originally called "BBC Sessions, Volume 6," but now it's "Volume 8," due to two added albums that come before it. 

That newly named "Volume 8" took place in 2007. This one took place in 2006. That's pretty close in time. However, I think both are worth listening to if you're a Who fan, because the set lists are quite different. In 2006, the Who released their first new studio album since 1982, called "Endlesswire." In my opinion, it's the weakest of all the Who's studio albums. (I even like their 2019 album much better.) 

That said, if you like that album, you're in luck with this concert, because it is heavily featured. Eight of the songs performed are from that album. By contrast, the 2007 album (now "Volume 8") is a concert from the massive annual Glastonbury Festival. The band focused on their biggest hits and only played two songs from Endlesswire. The new songs go by pretty quickly here, however. Five of them are less than two minutes long.

This is unreleased, but the sound quality is excellent.

By the way, here's the link to what is now "Volume 8," if you want to get the renumbered version:
