Bootleg Who Recordings

I started this list from information I obtained from "The Who Club", which is now defunct. If you know of any other bootleg recordings of The Who, please tell me about them!. Thanks!

This is an index of the bootlegs. There is a page for vinyl bootlegs and another page for compact disc bootlegs. Each title is a link to the appropriate place in the respective page. Within each page the bootlegs are listed in the order that I edited them in the file. Within this index, I have tried to list them alphabetically. When possible, I give the label's record number for the recording, but there are plenty of bootlegs with no such label, in which case they are identified by their position in this list.

There is much more Who-related information on Wes Biggs' Hypertext Who project. I also have a Who photo gallery.

I know there have been many boots that have appeared since this list was maintained on a daily basis. I have saved all the mail from all you contributors out there, so your work was not in vain! However, I am overhauling this collection of information from a set of text files that require manual editing to a little database that will make it easier for me to incorporate your contributions (which made this list so great in the first place). I hope you'll think the wait was worth it :)
