Now I'm confused.  Are you talking about the video "The Who Rocks America"?  
If it's on that video, that would be cool.  But, that's not even from the 
same tour as Join Together, so it has to be a different version, right?

According to http://www.thewho.net/concertguide/1982/ they played it at ten 
of the shows on the 1982 tour.  The one I attended, Worcester, MA, happened 
not to be one of them.  There are no setlists on that site from 1967.  They 
did also play it often in 1989 (48 times, by my count!), once in 1997 
(Oslo), and once in 2002 (Mansfield I).  So, they played it more on the 1989 
tour than all other performances combined.

So, is there really a video of ICSFM from the 1982 tour?  TWRA is not 
available on DVD though, right?  How about bootlegs?  As I said, I like the 
Join Together version, but I was hoping for a better one with Pete playing 
lead.  Still considering getting Mansfield I, despite the luke warm reviews. 
 I'm amazed this song has been played maybe only 20 times other than the 
1989 tour.
