The Who’s 1989 Kids Are Alright Tour was all about “reunion for gold” and “Pete can’t play the electric” at the time, and it was also shared with the Rolling Stones tour. I can’t deny the feeling that I couldn’t get a proper evaluation because of it.
It was when the “TOMMY” reenactment live that was held with a luxurious guest in LA was released as a video the following year after the tour ended, when the “Is it such a fulfilling live?” Was finally reviewed.
The 1989 tour was rather the delicacy and elaborateness of The Who’s album, as Pete played the acoustic guitar for the first time on stage due to deafness, and mobilized many support members like stadium rock in the 1980s. At that time, the big merit of being able to reproduce it on the stage was not appreciated at all.
It was none other than the “TOMMY” part that received the greatest benefit from that organization. The body of this album is very detailed and delicate, and above all, Pete played the acoustic guitar at the center of the famous song “Pinball Wizard”.
The greatness of the 1989 tour that succeeded in playing the elaborateness of such “TOMMY” album on the stage became emphasized as time passed, and Pete himself stabbed his hand in the arm. Despite being there, he talked about it as a good memory tour in his autobiography.
In addition, it wasn’t just the “TOMMY” part that brought a fresh breath to him by playing the acoustic guitar. In “Sister Disco”, the detailed development that was in the studio version was reproduced on the stage, and of course, his tongue-wound acoustic guitar solo is exquisite. Yes, Pete was also a master of acoustic guitar.
Of course, in songs such as “My Generation” and “Won’t Get Fooled Again”, he plays the electric guitar properly, but rather, because he mainly plays acoustic guitar, the live sound that has never existed before is 1989. It’s a big attraction.

In this way, it is a highly acclaimed 1989 tour among enthusiasts, but the best sound source of Buffalo and Pittsburgh recorded using the taper called Jared Hauser who is also a member of the JEMS team using the state-of-the-art DAT deck at that time was released 10 years ago. The high-quality sound surprised enthusiasts all over the world.
These were released from UXBRIDGE as “TOMMY’S TRIUMPHANT RETURN” in “TOMMY REVISITED IN BUFFALO”, and further released as a set called “THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT TOUR 1989” which was very popular.
A new sound source for the 1989 tour since then appeared last week, but the main recording was Mike Millard. If he loved The Who for the rest of his life, it was natural for him to participate in this tour, but while his friend Jared used DAT, Millard was a cassette on his longtime favorite machine Nakamichi. recording.
What was amazing was that the recording here was captured with a terrifying sound image that slightly surpassed that of Jared. A high quality audience with a full-blown mirrored section. It’s so fascinating when this is around “Who Are You” in the middle of the live, and it wouldn’t be strange if it was released on the press board.
Since the 1989 tour had a long stage, Millard using a cassette failed to record the first half of “Love Reign O’er Me”. However, the quality is so impressive that it doesn’t bother me.
And the performance of the band below Pete is rock solid because it is the next stage after the “TOMMY” reproduction & video recording live with the gorgeous guest mentioned earlier. The set list, which interweaves Pete’s solo numbers from the 80’s between many classics, can only be enjoyed on this tour. From the legendary tour that reproduced the detailed sound of The Who’s album on stage for the first time, a shocking mirrored recording that can become a new standard is now available. This is amazing!
