I think this is a pretty amazing tape - Who nuts would probably pay a lot of money for this. Amazing it's survived all these years too. There's a few High Numbers tracks on the 30 years of Max R&B box set as you probably know. It's a shame they can't find a few more recordings and cobble together an album. You ought to try and contact the Who although how you do that is beyond me! I bet they'd be interested in this.

0.00-3.20 Dance To Keep From Crying

3.20-4.30 You Really Got Me (inst)

4.30-6.05 Young Man Blues

6.05-8.45 Green Onions

8.45-10.26 You Really Got Me improvisation again

10.26-15.00 Long Tall Shorty

30 seconds of crowd noises banging and announcements 

15.31-19.22 Pretty Thing

19.22-29.48 Smokestack Lightning medley

29.48-31.42 Here'tis

The tape said June '64 I don't think it's quite that early, I can't find a precise date but You Really Got Me was recorded in July '64 and released early August so unless The Kinks had already been playing it live before then it is probably August/September. But, as they don't quite get the rhythm, it is possible they're playing from memory of hearing it live...
