The Who performed two University dates for the purpose of recording a live album, having lost the patience to sort through the tapes recorded on the North American 1969 tour. The first gig, at the University of Leeds Refectory, in front of an audience of 2,000, showcased The Who’s live act at its finest. The original album featured only six songs, half of which were covers, live songs from Tommy wouldn't officially come until years later. Kit Lambert manager of The Who was keen for Tommy to be taken seriously and wanted The Who to perform at opera houses.
The main source of footage used (London 1969) was released as bonus footage with the 1977 Kilburn footage.
The album was mostly composed by guitarist Pete Townshend, and is a rock opera that tells the story of Tommy Walker. Tommy is traumatized from witnessing his father murder his mother's lover; Tommy's parents then compound his shock by denying the experience. In reaction, Tommy becomes dissociative ("deaf, dumb and blind"). As a way of coping with his trauma, Tommy dissociates further through playing pinball and he gains a following because of his savant skill. After a numerous amount of other trauma and misguided attempts to heal Tommy, a doctor prescribes him a mirror so he can confront himself. Instead, Tommy becomes self-absorbed and comes to think of himself as a messiah figure. When the mirror is smashed by his parents in frustration, Tommy then breaks out of his dissociative state, and as a result more people become infatuated with him. Tommy with the help of his Uncle Ernie, who molested him and is only interested in money, starts a holiday camp and tries to lead his followers to believe that the only path to healing is going through what he experienced, becoming dissociative, playing pinball and giving up drugs and alcohol; which then his followers eventually reject him and his teachings.

I’m 71 years old. I’ve been playing drums for over 50 years. I read music and standard drum notation. Ginger Baker and Keith Moon are the reasons I started playing drums in 1967. I saw “The Who” perform live in 1969, 1970, 1971, 1973 and 1975. For me, during those years Moon was at the height of his drumming powers. In my opinion he played like a jazz drummer. He preferred the use of crash and ride cymbals (as opposed to high hats) for time keeping patterns (and accents) and dazzlingly creative fills (especially his use of flams) to create the percussive equivalent of tone paintings. The Entwistle/Moon rhythm section is one of the finest in rock. They are perfectly matched. Their interplay is the epitome of synchronous musical interplay and rhythmic perfection. Even though there are numerous myths and catalogs of false information about Keith Moon, his drumming on “The Who Sell Out”, “Tommy”, “Live At Leeds”, “Who’s Next” and “Quadrophenia” are irrefutable evidence of his percussive brilliance and genius.
I heard him for the first time in 1965 when 'my generation' was in the charts in Sweden. It was just before my seventh birthday and I was totally captivated. I had never heard anything even close to that.
Ofcourse, I was just a little shit. But I still havent and I never stopped loving his drumming.
I am also 71 years old (female). I completely agree with your comments on Keith Moon. He must be the greatest drummer of all time. Without the right percussion, it doesn't work. Nobody else could have pulled if off. It is truly a joy to listen to it.
@@juliethompson6030 I don’t believe Keith Moon is the greatest drummer of all time but he’s clearly one of the truly brilliant and innovative greats. He’s definitely in my top 10. Thanks for your comments. Best Regards!
@@juliethompson6030 VERY INTERESTING POINT OF VIEW
All the greats of the period , Bonham, Baker, Mitchell and Moon built a genre coming from a different musical headspace , influences than those who learned on their playing. They innovated and did what felt right for what they were doing, knowing what they knew. The use of empty space, looseness, and some like Moon trying to play the whole song, not just lay the base.
Townshend has a hard job. Keeping the melody and rhythm going. No place to hide. And he does it magnificently
Oh yeah definitely. It’s amazing how the chord sequences and riffs translated from the studio album to the stage, all while doing entertaining acrobatics. Thanks for watching!
Roger ... can't miss a note,,,.
And he keeps this old SGs in tune. That’s a miracle right there.
Entwistle and Moon rightly praised to the heavens, but Townshend the guitarist is vastly underrated. His playing and stage craft is so distinctive. Decent singer too, providing contrast and variation to Daltrey' voice.
Moon has to be one of the greatest drummers in history!!!
no shit!!!
I'd say the greatest watch him, he's the and still almost perfectly in time. That's how drums should be played.
Yes for sure😂
The band 1967 to 1973 were the marquee act in rock and roll. A feast for the ears and eyes. No band were like them.
I’ve been a drummer for 43 years. I play for a living and know endless stuff about the instrument. But one thing I’ll never figure out is how Keith Moon was such an accurate sounding drummer while looking like he is in a sword fight.
I also play drums and other instruments, Keith truly was a master of creating a spectacle out of every performance. I feel like his playing has a certain “shuffle” and certain rolls/fills that I haven’t seen anybody fully and accurately re-create. Truly one of a kind player. Thank you for watching and I’m glad you enjoyed
It’s really quite amazing! A true one of a kind.👍🏽😊✌🏽
And he never practiced, he just played.
@@allentate3760
Just like Buddy Rich!
It's his Black Beauty kit!!😅
The Who have so much notoriety for just being The Who. But we have to talk about just what incredible unique musicians every single guy in this band was. There was not a weak link anywhere. Pete’s guitar playing is effortless. John’s bass playing is seamlessly up and down the fretboard. Keith played a lot of notes but never left the pocket. And Roger got stronger and stronger over the years. I’m just endlessly mind fu-ed by this band.
Well said friend
i always called the who the first prog band - their chops were that good.
When I was 13 I thought they were God's in particular Townshend, in my late 20,s early 30,s my friend's girlfriend was mates with one of Roger's daughter's, I tagged along to some great parties, for me the Who are simply quintessentially Maximum R&B
. Townsend's slashing guitar, Moon's attacking but musical drumming combined with thunderous bass and great vocals makes them one of the most exciting bands ever in rock history!
If you hear Led Zepellin you hear a good drumming. If you hear Tommy the drumming is musical, is not looking like drumming. Drummers not only admire Moon, not even understand how he does it soimultaneously in precisiion, speed, time keeping and repetion of exactly like studio recording. Many drummers can play other drummers songs. Nobody can play Keith Moon drumming without being simplified to an ugly result. Keith Moon is not only the best drummer in rock but also by far . It is Keith Moon and the others. This video prooves it. A god of drums. Tommy is his biggest miracle.
Keith Is An Absolute Pioneer ❤
Can’t we all just appreciate both Keith Moon and John Bonham simultaneously and not always make it a competition?
@BHHartman I think for players of any instrument. All of them are next level and being themselves. But the earth has one Moon. I can't think of another drummer remotely like him stylistically.
😉👍
Mystifies me why so called experts dare to criticise Keith Moon’s playing. Even Townshend has had some critical things to say about it. He was incredible to say the least. Full of flair, creativity and energy and the perfect foil to Townshend. I’ve seen plenty of bands and drummers over the years. I have seen The Who live and with Zac, plenty of vids with the great Simon Phillips and Kenny Jones. But no one has ever quite captured the essence of Moon’s style. Who cares if he only plays single stroke rolls!!! His ability to manipulate the snare, his cymbal flourishes and the speed and precision of his wrists are eye watering. The Who between late 1968 to 1975 were the best live band in the world.
Agreed. He loved single stroke rolls, but he also sprinkled in tricky rudiments in his fills all the time; one of my favorites being some of his clean 5 stroke rolls in Underture/Sparks.
I’ve asked this to multiple drummers who highly criticize Moon and they always shut down when I say it: Can you name any other drummer who played to a click track live before 1971?
Perfect! And let's not forget, Keith was a great comedy act while drumming like no one else! 🎉
I was just thinking the same thing as I watched this. Whatever you want to say about Keith, the most important thing is that he was one of a kind, and the only drummer that truly was The Who. They would not have been who they are without each of the great players in this band. Keith is essential to The Who sound.
keith was the best drummer for the who
Some people play the drums. Keith attacked the drums. BEST EVER. He was a show unto himself
As a faithful Who fan from the very beginning (in other words, OLD🤣), i'm probably not alone in saying that this was their finest hour. I love ALL of their incredible music, and saw them many other times, but the Live at Leeds era was the alignment of the spheres. Seeing them at Anaheim in 1970 was PRICELESS! I still get chills just thinking about it, and watching this great video. LONG LIVE THE WHO. And thanks again for this!
As a fellow old rocker I totally agree. Take a listen to the 2013 deluxe edition of Tommy. It has both in complete a studio version and a live version. The ending of the live version is spectacular!
I think their magnificent turn at the Rock n Roll Circus blowing the Stones out of the water at their own gig, runs it a close second.
Yes sir😂❤
All of that is just three instruments, but not played by just anybody.
LONG LIVE THE WHO❤🎶🇬🇧
Bloody Brilliant Band ❤
No.there are more than three
The voices of them all.Outstanding!Jesus was listening that night to the soundtrack of his life.
@@JoelWest-n1e ♥️🎼🎶🇬🇧
Nobody these days can beat that period . The Who is the best at writing and live performance.
I am sooo glad I got to see them perform this back in 71. I'm 72. To this day, that show remains one of the true highlights of my life! They were AMAZING!!!
That would definitely be a highlight for me as well, thanks for watching and sharing
Saw in Detroit in 69. Alice cooper was lead in. Tommy was incredible.
The first time I saw the Who in the 90s, I was shocked…. They actually can play their music live….and with such incredible energy. So many bands are creatures of the studio. Seen them 14 times in total.
Sometimes I wish I was a little older ( now in my 60s)…. Firstly to apply to be an Apollo astronaut and secondly to hear a Who concert in the late 1960s….. the first was an effort of 10s thousands of special people…..and the other was just 4 very gifted individuals….. both were high water marks for us humans…
There's never been a better band live than The Who in 69/70. Period.

Thank you for all of the hard work you’ve put into this. I was born in 1973 and this is as close as I’ll get to seeing The Who in their prime.
One of the most prolific Rock albums in the 20th century. The way Pete Townsend wrote and made each band member play to their best ability is quite superb. I've been listening to this album for 50 years and it hasn't gotten old yet!
It’s definitely one of my favorite albums of all time. Some performances you can find are a little on the sloppy side, but when you find a good one the band does an amazing job showing off some of the best moments in Pete’s songwriting. I’m glad you liked the video :)
@@BobbysArchive sir, I noticed your very proactive with your commentary back to the fanbase. You haven't forgotten your roots. Keep it up lad
Been hooked on The Who since the 90's. Have my own musical endeavors. Still have divided peers on the greatness that is The Who. I always stand by my decision to recognize thier greatness. Its a force unto itself that we are privileged to experience. Cheers friends
Agreed my friend, thanks for commenting and watching, cheers
99.9% of bands - drums and bass, together. Singer up front. Guitar flying high. The Who - bass is alone... singer up front...drums and guitar play together and off of one another. This was quite unusual and unique to the Whos' performance.
They say that The Who had a lead singer, a lead guitarist, a lead bassist and a lead drummer. 😂
This is amazing. Best rock band of all time, no question.
Thanks for watching!
Agreed 👍
This video is amazing and proves "The Who" id the best rock band of all time. Love it.
Thank you for watching!
Tommy mcvie agrees with you all
These days never to be seen again...but we still have these performances to appreciate......and love......
1 of the absolute GREATEST BANDS EVER !!!
Thanks for this. Skillfully edited footage of these crucial '69-'70 dates. Someday I'm gonna take my Premier drums down from the rafters and drive the neighborhood crazy all over again.
@@johnmanning5193 Thank you for watching. You really should do that soon, Moonie would be proud. Cheers.
The greatest live album of them all ,the original album with all the paper work etc was the first live album i ever bought, wore the bloody thing out but it was worth it, at the time it was a heavy album and Moons drumming well wow! the whole band at the top of their game. PERFECT LIVE ALBUM with Sparks the stand out track, i saw the Who in 1981 sadly no Moonie but still the best live band i have ever seen and now i'm 59 its still the best live album ever well Leeds AND the Isle of Wright from 1970 which i have watched so many times and i bought the triple live album (vinyl of course) last year. POW!
I’m glad you liked it! :)
Best drummer ever!!!!
one of them for sure.
@@brucybabyy7355 Claro, uno de los mejores. Probablemente irrepetible, Zak lo hace muy bien, el hijo de Ringo y el mejor alumno de Keith.
I thought I was going crazy til I realised this is an amalgamation with Entwistle and Daltrey wearing two different outfits each. Fantastic sound. I saw them at Charlton football ground twice in the 70's. UNREAL!
Tommy und Quatrophenia sind Meilensteine der Rockgeschichte! The Who, -beste Band aller Zeiten ❤
Overture is to me like The Nutcracker by Tchaikovsky in 5 minutes. There ain't nothing like The Who, bcos symphonies can do Tchaikovsky but ain't no way this could ever be remotely duplicated live
Thank you England for another unbelievable band.
I saw the Who in their prime in 1972 in Minneapolis. They were spectacular to say the least.
I would've loved to see The Who with Moon, they were incredible. I hope this video brought back some memories for you. Thanks for watching
In the D in 69
I saw them do this show in Memphis back in the day.
Pete said “ we are supposed to do this in this way tonight , but , here it goes. Or something along those lines.
The entire thing was just about perfect. One of the top ten of over 55 years of the best shows here in Memphis. 🤩
Wow, you’re very lucky. Thank you for watching
I saw them first also in Memphis Nov 28 1971 Mid South Coliseum. Though Who’s Next had the focus a slightly abbreviated version of Tommy was performed. My first concert attended, ticket price 6.50 (still have my ticket stub). There seems to be major Who revival in interest recently. There is hope for the world. Per Memphis comments the acoustics of the North and South hall Ellis Auditorium are definitely missed. Thank you for your work on video. Many memories brought back
Townsend is flawless here. Just incredible!
Saw them first time in 1980. They were absolutely unbelievable. Great concert is an understatement. They are so damn good.
I believe it! I would’ve loved to see a Who show back in the day. Thank you for watching
I saw them on June 24 1980 at the L.A. Sports Arena. I enjoyed watching Pete but musically with Kenney Jones I would hardly call them “absolutely unbelievable”. Fairly pedestrian more like. The time to see The Who was in 1969-1971, like in this Tanglewood performance (ironically 145 miles West of where I was at the time), but I was too young.
@@RiotNrrrdUTubeeven with kenney jones they were on fire. The toronto 1982 show is amazing
Superb musicianship! This will be stuck in my head for days
Thanks for taking the time to assemble this. Moon is an absolute marvel - hysterical when he aggressively "plays" the drums during Townshend's guitar solo in the Overture.
Thank you for watching!
I watched The Who perform this in MSG, NY, 50 years after this performance, and they knocked out of our the park on both nights. 50 years? That's pretty bloody impressive!
This is the best version of Tommy I have ever seen. Thank you
Thank you for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed
Moon is there for every chord change
"Live at Hull" is as good as "Live at Leeds". Get it and enjoy The Who giving 100% of their musical habilities !
I love both of them, but I gotta prefer Leeds because of my personal experience with listening to it. Definitely The Who at their peak imo. Thanks for commenting and watching!
The Live version of My Generation (Medley) from Hull is a beast though. Better than the leeds version, but by just a small margin. But both versions still rock hard.
Great stuff!
Never seen before.
I'm a fan since 1965.
Thank you!
I’m very glad you enjoyed, thank you for watching!
I saw the Who a bunch back then in New England and New York. This compilation is a true labor of love and is superb. Many thanks for making it and sharing it here. Wow.
Thank you, I’m glad you liked it. Cheers!
Thank you for putting this together. The Who were such an incredibly gifted stage band back then, and they kept pushing themselves to excel. It shows here for sure. The abrupt changes in costume and lighting due to editing together video from different performances only add to the excitement, and the audio is great. Well done!!!
Thank you for watching, I’m glad you liked it! :)
AMAZING work here!!! Bravo sir!
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!
Excellent !!! Et Keith Moon ... Quel talent !!!
I have always said, since going on-line, that w/ all the bootlegs around YT of TheWHO, you could make a good live version of Tommy, thru good editing. no complete show in one venue is going to be as consistent. and I hate it when they don't include 'Overture'. now I'm surfing, and I see this! THANX, Bobby's Archive !
Thank you, I’m glad you liked it :))
This is a mix of several different performances. You can tell by the wardrobe changes. The best video is from the Isle of Wight in '70 (the Ox in his skeleton jumpsuit)
Yes, The only available footage of Leeds is a short black and white 4 minute reel unfortunately, and there isn’t a whole lot of different footage to choose from in this era. For what we have and how much they improvised I’d say it’s impressive how well the band syncs up. In my opinion, editing this video really disproves any claim from haters that say Keith was incompetent or that he was just flailing with reckless abandon.
Moon at his very best,,,
I agree, thanks for watching! :)
I saw these guys back in about 7273 I don't remember the year but I do remember they were spectacular and that they had 16 tons of speakers hanging from the top of the coliseum I couldn't hear squat for about 4 days it was glorious they were on the quadrophenia tour but it was Tommy's birthday so they did a lot of Tommy to the point where Keith Moon jumped over his drum set down onto the stage wrestle daltrey to the ground and coerced them into doing bellboy
I wouldn't have noticed the different footage if not for reading the comments and description info. Superb job, I hope you do more music videos, this made me subscribe. * OfCourse after I comment the video drastically changes lol Still a great sync job.*
More will be coming soon, thank you for subscribing!
No drummer is as fun to watch as Moon, and no one no matter how much flash and stick twirls will ever be.
@@benher973 Agreed, really wish there was more footage of him out there, he was one of a kind. Thank you for watching
Cracking vid, im amazed that the music has held up and still sounds so strong after all.these years. The first and the best- much as i rate the wall and the lamb , and indeed quadrophenia, nothing touches tommy.
Worth a sub mate, thanks for the marvellous work.
Thank you, I’m glad you liked it!
A masterclass in rock n roll history. What a stunning ride. Thx for this .
Thanks for watching my friend
@@BobbysArchive In 1970 I was front row for this show with Joe Walsh and James Gang opening. If you get a few minutes check The James Gang "Yer Album" They do a Yardbirds cover of Lost Woman Blues. Basically it's the reason Joe n tha Gang were The Who's opener. They had nothing to lose and everything to gain. They came out and ripped it! I watched Pete standing on the side of the stage eyeing Joe hard . He loved it . They became good friends Joe gave Pete his 1st sunburst Les Paul . Later shows you will see him playing it and not his typical SG. Another bit of rock n roll history. Thx much man!!!
Whenever Pinball Wizard is started to listen, I appreciate Pete's sense of music variation and righthand technic.
Pete was one of the best rhythm guitarists of the 1960s in my opinion. A lot of his live solo/lead playing is similar to Jimi Hendrix where getting the same sound and energy twice or to be fully replicated by another person would be nearly impossible. Thank you for watching.
Wow! Great work. I know how much work must have gone into this as I edit videos myself. Fantastic, thanks for the great upload!
Thank you! I’m glad you liked it :)
Thanks again Bobby's Archive!
I've commented previously on this site, adding my love to one of the quintessential bands of all time.
Townshend, Daltry, Entwistle, and Moon.
Live performances - unmatched! Unique. Powerful. Influential.
Great work putting these live sequences together Bobby's Archives!
Simply downright flabbergasted! a heaven and hell of a job!
Thank you for watching!
Great job with this video! Thank you so much for making and publishing this.
I’m glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
THIS, . . .is un-F*%King - believable ! ! ! Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU SO, SO MUCH for posting this absolutely PHENOMINAL video ! Incredible.
Thank you for commenting, I’m glad you liked it my friend!
This is my favorite version of Tommy. Great job with the video editing. I've always wished for a visual element for this epic show.
Same here my friend! Thank you, glad you liked it.
OMG what a great video. I saw them twice in MSG before Kieth died. best moments.
I don't know how Keith played so aggressive and made sense of the beat

I just noticed this but I hear a lot of this era of The Who in Rush, the 2112 era. Also, one of the great things about this performance, similar to Rush too, is how balanced the instruments are. Entwistle takes up a lot of space, by necessity and design, but no more or less than Moon or Townsend. A rock band whose bassist is an equal member sonically? Imagine that! That’s what I love about The Who - every player is a section onto themselves. Brillant!
Definitely! It's very rare you hear a performance mixed where the bass and guitar is hard panned on the left and right channels, but with The Who it works incredibly well with the way they all play off each other. Also it surprisingly sounds pretty good in mono too. There's clearly no weak link in The Who. Thanks for watching.
“Rush” was never ever as good as powerful and as tight as “The Who” during their prime (1969-1974).
great sync. thank you!
Thank you for watching and commenting!
This is excellent
Saw them at the Murray K show in 1967. Have seen them around 12 times through the years. The era from Tommy to Quadraphoneia was no doubt their Golden age. My favorite shows were the Commonwealth Armory in 1970 and the two shows at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York. Both were truly a spiritual experience!
12 times is amazing. What a time to be alive. Thanks for commenting my friend
I must correct myself. The Commonwealth Armory show was in October of 1969.
Great job man!
Thank you!
Sparks!!!
Great work, man. Can't wait for the [REDACTED] edit 🐒
Wonderful. Thank you.
I’m glad you liked it Eddie! I loved your Anaheim 1970 photos and film
Thanks for the GREAT music!!!
@@jonforti7691 Thank you for watching!
Thanks. Saw them in Oakland 1976. Kieth Moon was still with us. ❤😊
Thanks for watching my friend
Such great footage, thanks for uploading.
I’m glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching
From 1966 to 1975 The Who were, unquestionably, the best rock band in the world.
The band in their prime. And Keith when he was present and not zoned out on drugs and booze he was on it! His shit is on fire here.
Freaking A that is so good.
Much appreciated! Cheers mate!
What a band! Loving that SG sound ❤🔥
@@sarab6415 There’s no other sound like it in my opinion. Thank you for watching
¡Qué gran banda, Dios! Los cuatro en su mejor momento. Destaco a Pete como autor, Tommy y Quadrophenia fueron son, para mí, las mejores operas rocks que he escuchado, en realidad, las verdaderas operas rocks. Musicalmente me gusta mucho más Quadrophenia, gustos personales. Pero, anyway, ¡cómo sonaban estos tipos! Destaco a John Entwistle como un bajista increible, no dijo nada de Keith Moon, ya que su leyenda lo acompaña.
Amazing editing job there :)
Thank you very much :)
This is the WHO!
Oh my what a great performance!!! Guitar and drums are excellent! A great band but after Quadrophenia like many others
I credit the British with a sub-genre of music: those bands that transitioned from ‘hit-makers’ to ‘album-makers. The Who premier amongst those. They had quite a few Top-20 hits especially in England ( listen to Meaty Beaty Big Bouncy). At some possibly indefinable place/time they expanded to producing 40 minutes of music over 4 minutes at a time. Probably just couldn’t confine Pete’s visions to singles . Some others that fit that category, to lesser extents: The Kinks,Manfred Mann’s bands, etc…
Wow, what a fantastic surprise to find this now! While I love the Woodstock footage - this has the visual simplicity that I can fully concentrate on them. Thank you!
Had already seen them 3xs in 68 including the last of their Power Pop look!
I missed the whole hoopla re the Tommy release, found out about it during a totally non music endeavor about 2 months later! Whether i caught parts on the radio, or at my cousin's house I was *floored*.
And *very lucky to see them* play Tommy live at *The Filmore East Oct 1969!*
Still one of the most fantastic shows i've ever seen!
I have a question. Do you have more Live Who footage in general, and bc a I've been searching for a Townsend solo from MSG in either '76 or '79. I shuck my tape recorder in but lost the tape decades later. :(
Pete's going mostly up,v and a little down the scale but in repeating he's climbing higher and higher on the scale over all. Finally tops out w a few mire notes ten I think they slam into WGFA! it's the most incredible solo I've heard him play and so have 20 sows I'ves seen. THX for any help
You’re lucky, I wish I could’ve been able to see those 4 perform, there’s nothing else quite like The Who in their prime.
The best Who channels for recordings and footage in my opinion is Monty’s Vault and Cloo Boots. I’ve also got a few playlists on my channel as well.
Thank you for commenting, and I’m glad you liked the video
@@BobbysArchiveTy. Just subscribed to ....boots, will check out Monty, and more of yours.
Amazing how they pulled it off as a trio of instrumentation
You forget that voices are also instruments.Fucking A right.
I always loved the ode to Foxy Lady by Hendrix at the beginning of Sparks
I have been properly schooled.thank you. Your knowledge of 60's bands is greater than mine. I will take a longer listen now. Still..love me some Geddy and Neil.
Joey's song! Playing video games one handed kicking his brother's butts!
Love this album and performance raw, no horn no backup singers
Incredible energy !
Love that no one in the comments has time stamped this (yet). This has to be listened to cover to cover.
I timestamped it and it’s in the comments, I just didn’t pin it because I’m not gonna give RUclips my ID.
The Tommy movie is a treat, and the record is a real concept album , maybe the first gold record one. Kind of like Rush Hemispheres record, both with incredible sounds.
Excellent
Thank you for watching!
... WHO ? IS THE BEST !!!
I just love Townsends singing at the very start in Capt. Walker and it's a boy. This concert and album is just epic. We are so fortunate that this was filmed and recorded so well back then. I love it on headphones. ✌😁
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed
Pete, the Great, Keith the Great the Great group ever!
The sound is excellent, was this from the board, or perhaps skillfully remastered, or both?
This is the Live at Leeds 2014 Remaster. It is the officially released full multi-tracked show. It can be listened to on Apple Music, HDTracks, and on my channel. It is a superior mix compared to the 2010 40th anniversary that was released with Hull
my sister saw this LIVE @ StonyBrook University back in 69 OR 70, the Who played the first set ,older material, then the second set was Tommy , in it's entirety, like here.
I wish I could’ve been alive to see it. Thank you for watching
These concerts have NOT been surpassed even though there are NOW TECHNOLOGICAL means? THERE WAS MORE MUSICAL CREATIVITY BEFORE THE WHO FOREVER🔊🔊✨✨✨✨✨🎶🎶🎵🎵🎸
Woooooo ❤❤❤
