Has anyone found an audience recording from the show?

Well I think people are figuring out the gig is just an album worth of stuff, but priced (for charity or not) about three times what it normally is.  I have been lucky enough to go to this and Ed singing the Who last time around...prices for that one we're 3 or 4 times this last one.  Ed sang a ton, and Pete was much more involved.  This one was a lot of Alfie, and he really wasn't that great, a little shrill if you ask me.  Legend or not, anyone paying over 150-75 range probably left a little disappointed unless a Quadrophenia Uber fan.

i don't think you can be the judge and jury as to how much people paid for this show and whether they left disappointed or not. if i was rich i would have bought a $750 ticket to see these two rock icons(heroes) grace the same stage for this massive event. i also disagree about your comment on alfie but i also realize that what you said was personal opinion. so that's my response 
people who just went for ed, for this show, make me laugh out loud. they pretty much missed the whole point.

Yeah this was not an Ed, Pete, or Billy gig, rather a collective.  Alfie could sing, but I think it was shrill at times.  I had he worst migrane after the show, he was far and away the loudest thing of the night.  Orchestra was amazing!  They ( Ed, Billy, Pete, Kids choir) graced the stage in snippets, for a few songs each, a couple ensemble things, it was all Alfie that night, his show for sure, the others were accents to his performance of Jimmy.  Though it never advertised anything but Quad, I think many probably thought we would get a little more than that album.  The price overall for this event was much cheaper than the Ed Who show.
