One of the Best Live Hard Rock Albums ever recorded if the not the greatest. Bought this album when i was a senior in high school. The saw them live in ' 71' The live improvisation of "My Generation" with it's"Tommy" mood and melodies, and classically powerful crescendo with that minor E(sounds like it) still gives me goose bumps today.

I was a huge Who fan and already had their "The Who Sell Out" and Tommy" in my collection but Live at Leeds blew me out the door. Many Who albums followed with "Who's next" my favorite studio album but Live at Leeds is the best ever live album....bar none.

[@Alloy7]

He wasn't flawless, but that's what amazes me about the energy behind this recording. No matter what he did, it passed--there was so much going on that even the 'skating on thin ice' parts worked. I've been a gigging guitarist for 42 years, and I can sense when a lead player is flailing. But Townsend just goes for it, and makes it work, whatever "it" might be. He was on that night!

Referring to this album, Eddie Van Halen once said to pete, “You know, Pete, there’s some huge mistakes on that album.” Hilarious.

[@bodegabonsai7069]

I agree. No other drummer had his fire, power, spirit and spontaneity. He epitomized rock and roll. Raw, rough, tight, loose, anarchistic, unconventional, unorthodox, unpredictable. His drums were a means to an end. Moonie fucking with your head. Doing the impossible as an afterthought. I once read he was a force of nature who occasionally sat behind a drumset. If it's possible to sum up Moon with words, I think that one sentence comes close.

From the age of 55 it blows me away to think that 6 years before this these guys were a pub band in London playing 2-3 minute songs. Having progressed from "Magic Bus" through "Tommy" here they are in their mid twenties producing an over 14 minute multi themed medley.

Roger's singing on this entire album - the intonation, the timing, is tremendous. Really creative timing especially on My Generation and Shaking All Over. If you're going to cover a tune, make it as listenable, and Roger did more than that. His deliberate dragging behind the tempo in the beginning is hip. The uplifted voice at the end of the sentence is remarkable. Who else sang it like that?! Completely original. Pete's guitar is the also best possible accompaniment. Also excellent. "Why don't you all fade away."

This track is the quintessential epitome of what The Who are really about. Raw but yet refined, without Moon tying Entwistle and Townshend together with his aggressive and virtuosic drums, Roger wouldn't have had the opportunity to develop into the singer her became.

I'd say that Bruce and the E Street Band 75 to 78 were the tightest band around. Some of the recordings are insane. Different energy to The Who of course, but just as refined and dangerous at the same time. I recommend live at Hammersmith Odeon or something from 78 when they were touring Darkness on the Edge of Town. Both Bruce and The Who are icons of live shows!

[@kennethliss7368]

Led Zep was a better studio band than live band. I saw them 5 times including their second performance in America in January of '69 in San Francisco.

Just surfing the internet on some free time I had......... and here I am. I remember buying this album in '70 or '71 at the age of sixteen, and I knew it was the best "Live" thing I had ever heard on vinyl up to that point; but I also knew there was something I wasn't getting. I didn't really know what that was until nearly forty years later, when someone had the bright idea of releasing the entire Leeds concert, unedited. Well, piss on my head and tell me it's raining! I was right, it was the best live recording, only better than they allowed us to hear back then. I enjoyed the fact that someone finally got sense; but I was actually more pissed off that greedy, self-centered, corrupt, and imbecilic morons, held back this complete musical performance from the public for so long. I'm also pretty amazed at the fact that no one had the brilliant vision of filming this performance; I know that at the age of sixteen, I certainly thought about it. Pete and Roger may disagree, and they have the right to; but as far as I'm concerned, this was the best live album that was ever recorded, and the best recorded performance I've ever heard from the Who.

What a show at a piss-poor venue. Mammoth Gardens was an old roller skating rink that was falling apart. The place was packed with mods and hippies. The Who were thunderously LOUD! The building shook. My ears rang for two days. I loved it. John Entwistle on bass and Keith Moon on drums made The Who. Moon was the best drummer that I have ever seen or heard.

Good but not as much fun as having your stereo on 12 when it only goes to 10 & the whole neighborhood can enjoy it to even the cops.

My God if anyone can remember what this came out nobody knew what it was at least 20 years ahead of it's time. The best live album there ever was

I've haven't heard a SG sound like Townsends did to this day, amazing!!!!

[@thethirdman225]

+Mark Rice I have to advise that this answer is not based on experience but only what I have seen. Somewhere out there in the mists of time in the ether, is a photograph of Townsend's amplifier stack It was known as "The Who Stack". Basically it consisted of a stack of as many as five or six HiWatt amplifiers connected together then pumped through Marshall quad boxes (for which Townsend was a tester). The story goes that the sound of the guitar varied considerably with the level of amplification used. I know jack-all about amplifiers though. www.thewho.net/whotabs/gear/guitar/cp103.html

[@heftosprod]

TheThirdMan was two hiwatt cp103 heads into a cabinet each. The bottom cabinets on the stacks were not used. And also fuzz pedal. That’s it. Cabinets were hiwatt too.

[@broadcasttttable]

To all the punks, goths, indies, metalheads, rappers, gen-xer's, millenials, snowflakes, whatever name(s) you go by, whenever you roll your eyes at me when I talk about definitive rock n' roll, this "Boomer" just rolls his eyes back atcha, smiles, shakes his head, and says, "just checkout The Who, Live at Leeds, 'My Generation.'" No more words needed.

[@sludge4125]

Wow, you’re a real bad ass.
