Live at Leeds is one of the best live rock albums ever

[@CANDOKNOWHOW]

It’s my favorite.. the expanded edition is a must hear for all the extras, I went ahead and got the deluxe version on vinyl and can’t find a dull moment.. would’ve LOVED to have seen them back at that point, the studio singles are all great but really fall flat in comparison to these live performances.

[@SMccrate01]

It was the one album just about guaranteed to be in every music collection back then.

[@ednicholson7839]

The music is from Live at Leeds but the video is from Isle of Wight. Hard rock at its peak.

[@Lwize]

I was wondering about the mismatch between the video and the music...

[@VincentAgostino-gy6hr]

The Who in 1970 was one of the most dynamic bands performing… Leeds, Isle Of Wight… great shows

[@Mentalpaused]

Legend says The Muppets drummer was fashioned after Keith Moon.

[@killiansred1000]

Animal is a very good representation of Moon the Loon.

[@keithroberts4952]

The live footage is not from the Leeds concert but it's different clips from the isle of wight 1970 concert. But, live at leeds is right up there amongst the greatest live albums ever!!

[@richeaton5752]

I was just gonna comment that whoever cut it together, did a good job, but it's not actually Leeds...

[@kraig7777]

@@richeaton5752 Yeah it almost looks in sync at times but you can tell it's not the same. You can really tell by watching Keith.

[@mojorider8455]

ahh, that Bo Didley rhythm. Those Brits were so influenced by the great American R&B folks. Fantastic album, I wore that thing out in high school! An epic My Generation and medley on that album just hooked me forever.

[@vicprovost2561]

Yes, the My Generation jam on Live at Leeds is up there with live performances by Zeppelin, Floyd and Hendrix as examples of live Rock at its very best, it becomes more than just music but a primal force that puts you in an alternate reality for a time. Awesome stuff!

[@mojorider8455]

@vicprovost2561 agree! Bands today don't seem to jam any more and express themselves as this energized unit, building that kind of groove leading to a cathartic conclusion.

[@marksimpson1991]

Always something different from Airplay Beats! Love how eclectic you guys are and how you appreciate MUSIC, regardless of genre or style. AND NOTHING LIKE SOME WHO TO GET READY FOR THE WEEKEND!

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

[@randyallaben9900]

Truth.

[@janicez2630]

yes!!

[@suesmith7968]

The Who in their prime!!!! The whole album gives me goosebumps!! ☮️💜

[@Neillybob63]

IMO, their best (Who's Next) was just around the corner from what we witness here. That aside, their live shows were heads and tails better than anything else going on at the time. RIP Moonie and Ox.....

[@richardlouistownson769]

And to think Jimi Hendrix played at the same concert. Blows your mind.

[@keithroberts4952]

He played at Isle of wight, not leeds.

[@vicprovost2561]

Which is the video here, with the Live at Leeds audio overlayed.

[@gabrielvanhelsing8214]

"I Can See for Miles" an international smash hit single released back in 1967 by the 'Who' is one of my favorite songs by them from the '60's is smokin' hot. Keith Moon gives it his all on the drums in this recording. ⚡🎤🎸🥁🔊🔥🎧☮

[@jimmys9882]

I always loved this performance in that it demonstrates the different personalities that make up the band. One in a workers jumpsuit, one in a halloween skeleton outfit, one t-shirt and jeans, and a rockstar fringe outfit

[@olly8]

I was waiting for a black light to show off his skeleton & guitar. TRUE ROCK STARS ⭐

[@garyscharf9232]

You need to check out My Generation from this album. It'a an EPIC 15 minute medley with one incredible riff after another. No one was playing with such raw power and energy then.

[@SMccrate01]

Also Young Man's Blues is a sonic ear bleeder that needs to be listened to at max volume!

[@brentfreeland5834]

In my opinion this is one of the best sounding live albums around. ✌🏻

[@wayL0ck]

The Magic Bus is the bus he rides to see his baby each day!

[@jburma]

I feel like their bassist John Entwistle doesn’t get the props he deserves. The rest of them are such showmen it’s understandable. Entwistle is one of the great rock bassists of all time.

[@rubyswaim1441]

Entwhistle was the Charlie Watts of bass players. He just did his job with no fancy shenanigans.

[@williamweiss6128]

Whole Live At Leeds is an amazing time capsule. Love it. When loud was normal and terrifying.

[@ML-un1oi]

Keeping the excellent weekend alive!! Live at Leeds is pure fire 🔥. Gentlemen, thanks for an excellent reaction !🎉❤😊

[@nancymjohnson]

People tend to not think about the fact that back then, guys/girls put their own bands together. No corporations.

[@RullXov]

The Who were without a doubt one of the most innovative bands in the Rock Genre.

[@1bigrowdy]

AllRight now flip over so the My Generation Medley. It will blow you away.

[@Bassman2353]

Saw them in Boston. Most powerful concert in a lifetime of greats - the energy was palpable.

[@renemokum]

One of the best live rock concerts of all time. The 'My Generation' Medley is one of the many highlights of the album.

[@marinman3551]

Great response and review... you nailed the Who....."they kick everyone up the arse live".....Mick Jagger said that

Man, those guys were in their prime. 🎶

[@ToddMorgan-el5iy]

Audio is from the excellent live at Leeds album, footage is from the Isle of Wight concert - so they ain't quite synced up. Young Man Blues from the Live at Leeds is a must react for you guys.

[@francoisdelpeuch8527]

Isle of Wight's Young Man Blues version is a fuckin good one too...

[@user-uh3nn9sm1j]

Townsend in a live performance is another level..

[@Regulus863]

the Who at their peak this live at Leeds Univ. performance is considered one of the consummate live performances ever. listen to the whole concert all the way through beginning to end gentlemen., you won't be disappointed

[@markmurphy558]

The first great "live" album. The Who were the first great hard rock band.

[@vicprovost2561]

Spot on Man, that album is a force of nature.

The Power of rock

[@vicprovost2561]

Yes, they always were the Power and the Glory that is Rock n Roll. 🎸

[@markhaus5441]

Okay, guys. The video is from the Isle of Wight festival. The audio is from the Live at Leeds album. That's why it doesn't quite match up. You may have noticed that.

[@AirplayBeats]

I was wondering what the heck was going on. 😂

[@VX_XI]

​​​@@AirplayBeatslook you guys are great reactors and such but you are terrible at researching. Like with what you did for Dazed And Confused (Live At The MSG 1973), the whole song is on youtube with no video, but you choose to only react to the cut 12 minute version. Not every song you react to needs a music video! Damn it lmao. Next time, just listen to the non-video version. The audio quality of this video sucked, but high quality versions exist on KZbin easily.

[@SoOutrageous]

Don’t need to be a fan to be amazed by The Who. Legends

[@ms51675]

You HAVE GOT TO do my generation from the same album......and young man blues as well.... this entire album is killer

[@msfoodiediva]

The who in their prime was the best live band hands down.

[@andrewcole3736]

This live version of magic bus is completely different than the single. Which was a success by the way. Notice the drummer, Keith Moon, doesn’t use a high hat. 🕊❤️🎼

[@Roddy1965]

Maximum R&B (and they ain't talking 'bout this new 'R&B'). Live Leeds must be right up there with one of the best live rock albums EVER.

[@tierbore1985]

At 15 and 16 years old, Live at Leeds was one of the most important things in the world.

[@darrylbennett4297]

My all time fav band is Zeppelin but the who from this era live is pretty special. Try out young man blues, it’s powerful

They line up right behind Zeppelin in Hard Rock royalty for me! 🎸

Live at Leeds was not filmed as far as I know, the video is from the Isle of Wright gig. But the soundtrack to it is from Leeds as it sounds. That's when they were at their peak: the greatest drummer, the best bassist, one of the most innovative guitarists and a totally wild and charismatic front man.

[@CuriousGeorge1111]

Wow! You guys, and your fans, are hitting it out of the park with your song choices! Live at Leeds is considered one of the best live rock albums, along with Get Your Ya Yas Out (Stones) abd Live at Fillmore West (Allman Bros). Listening to Live At Leads, is to stand at the foot of rock gods. So much great trivia about this album, which is worthy from beginning to end. Magic Bus is my personal favorite track (along with Daltrey cracking up singing "I want it"), and many others are not to be missed, including Sparks. All my best to your family.

[@vicprovost2561]

Also Deep Purple - Made in Japan & UFO - Strangers in the Night - both worthy to be in the conversation.

[@kellahella5286]

I’ve always thought of The Who as the first punk band. They definitely have that edge in early in career.

[@JuniorFarquar]

Daltry and Plant, on stage together recently, are two cool guys with great mutual respect and egos in check. Although, Plant's persona overshadows everyone...can't help it

[@vicprovost2561]

Those guys are a template for Rock frontmen.

[@anthonyblakely399]

When it came to the roughest toughest wildest and hardest Rock band on the face of the planet back then in 1963, the early 60's, The Who was that band! They pioneered a screaming front man, Roger Daltry, who jumped around doing cartwheels & flips & tossing n twirling his mike! Pete Townsend doing cartwheel strumming on his guitar while jumping up & down and Keith Moon pounding wildly on his drums, according to music critics everywhere & the public, The Who was wildest and loudest band around!!! 😎

[@jlmain5777]

What a terrific band!

[@ugadawgs1990]

Each on of them had a unique personality and style. The most unlikely quartet of all time, but magical.

[@827dusty]

One of the earliest songs from "The Who." One of their best.

[@Thor_7577]

So glad you got to this one. I’ve waiting for it. One of my favorite all-time WHO songs. Thank brothers. Cheers 🍻

[@Williamottelucas]

Props to Keith Moon for keeping himself reigned in until halfway through the song!

[@olly8]

The comment about the magic bus being a drug reference 😆... it was "the times" of our culture.✌🏼 No offense to styles of today, but Roger's long, curly hair 🤗 and the fringe ❤ Someone commented on the diversity of their outfits, totally agree! This was 🔥✨️ Great start to the weekend. You two ROCK 💯🤘🏼💥

[@mikecaetano]

Live At Leeds is a great record. My buddies and I were still listening to it over a decade after it dropped. "Magic Bus" closes out the record. Side one features several smokin' hot covers -- "Young Man Blues", "Summertime Blues", "Shakin' All Over", along with a bang up version of "Substitute". "Magic Bus" is the title track of the fourth album they released in the US. The cover art featured the band draped around a London double-decker bus painted in day-glo flower power colors ala the Merry Pranksters circa 1968. The album was a US only release and is listed as a compilation today. It also features "Pictures of Lily".

[@bendbadgersteve]

Live At Leeds might be the greatest live album in modern rock history. This is an AWESOME visual/audio print of the encore. Where the hell on film, however, is the rest of this incredible concert? Good job, guys.

[@vicprovost2561]

This video is a blend of video from the Isle of Wight concert with the audio from the Live at Leeds album. It can confuse those that are unaware of what is actually going on.

[@vicprovost2561]

One of the Top 5 live albums by anyone, they were a primal force in rock and this performance is off the charts. You HAVE to hear the My Generation jam that preceded it on Live at Leeds. Pete Townsend at his most intense and forceful, spectacular leads fronting arguably the best rhythm section ever. That album blew our minds back then! To see more from this great era of theirs, they have You Tube video of their shows at Woodstock, Tanglewood and the Isle of Wight Festival, 1969 - 1970, which are all spectacular, chill inducing sets, at their best they are up their with the very greatest bands. Please check them out as time permits, it will be well worth the investment in time, this is some of Rock History at its best and you can see and hear it 50+ years later. Even in this form it is very powerful. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎹🎶

[@arkusrymer]

Great reaction. Simply put, The Who are legends! It is my understanding that Magic Bus is a reference to LSD and Ken Kesey, who was one of the main forces behind promoting LSD use in the mid-sixties before it was outlawed. He and his Merry Pranksters traveled cross country in their psychedelic painted out bus called FURTHUR. The Grateful Dead were first to have a song referring to the bus with The Other One. Then, The Beatles wrote Magical Mystery Tour and the Who followed suit with Magic Bus.

[@mrnobody9104]

after all these yrs this is the first time I've heard this done live! Appreciate that fellas, only saw them live once in 82 billed as their final tour! 17 skipped school and hitch hiked to the show with my cousin, good times!

First time I ever heard this song was LIVE in concert in Southington Playhouse in Connecticut. Touring on the "The Who Sell Out " tour.

[@danw2276]

LOVE the Who. Have most of their albums and seen them live. LOUD is an understatement when describing them. They are my 2nd favorite just behind L. Z. How many bands can say they rocked for as long as they have. BEST halftime show during the superblow ever. Thanks guys

[@eileencastillo6323]

SO good. 😊✌🏼💙

[@hampyonce]

"I ain't trying to start a fuss but can I ride that Magic Bus." The Magic Bus came through my neighborhood in 1969. I was too young to ride it. I stood near it and felt the magic. Great video. The Who were punkAF! They gave zero ducks. KMoon was supernatural. They all were, really. Even John Entwistle is as supernatural.

[@robertlear2712]

I have seen The Who in concert three times. They are my favorite life band.

[@scottsnyder2726]

The Who was a great live band! So were many others bands of the era. Being young in the audience energized by this organically unfolding music was incredible. They were telling a story sonically and lyrically and we were all aboard their Magic Bus

One of the best live bands on the planet!

[@jasonralph4286]

The second album I ever bought after the Rolling Stones Got Live if You Want It. It seems that this was in the mid, late 60's because I had it before I moved to N.Y. in 67.

[@jimfenski3111]

This live performance of Magic Bus is great but you should listen to the studio version to get the gist of the song! The Who is one of the best bands to see live sonically and visually.You’re only getting a taste of it here. Roger Daltrey, swinging the mic, Pete Townsend, doing his famous windmill along with his jumps and Keith Moon’s antics on the drum kit! It doesn’t get any better than that! You guys nailed it! They are the quintessential rock band! They were also famous for destroying their equipment on stage. I recommend watching their performance of My Generation on the Smothers Brothers show. Keith Moon rigged his drum kit with explosives allegedly unbeknownst to his band mates. Pete Townsend suffered hearing loss as a result of the stunt. other grade songs include. I can see for miles; Behind Blue Eyes;The Seeker; Going Mobile; Pinball Wizard. Great reaction as always gents, keep them coming… I’m a fan!

[@misterfugazi4110]

This is almost completely unlike the studio version. It does have some lyrics in common, so that helps identify it a little. I have to think of it as a different song, then I can enjoy it. I recommend listening to the studio version some time.

[@ronaldsmith2965]

I think 1970 was the year The Who and Led Zeppelin were at their best.

[@VX_XI]

The Who was the best live band from 1968-1971 and Zeppelin were at thier best from 1972-1973. In 1975-1980, both bands either became terrible live (Zeppelin with 1977 being their worst year) or having still great performances but samey set lists (The Who from 1975-1978)

1969 was a pivitol year - between the groovy 60s and the harder rocking and disco 70s. In 1969, the three greaterst live bands in the world were 1.) The Who, 2.) The Rolling Stones and 3.) Led Zeppelin!

[@CharlieGroh]

Man, this throws me back into heavy combat…actually went to sleep listening to the Live at Leeds album nightly for a month or so while flying high risk helicopter missions in Vietnam. Then I’d get up to this tune or My Generation and go out to do it again. Yeah, great rock and roll saved my bacon!

Live at Leeds is arguably the greatest live rock album ever. However, there is no film footage of the performance I'm aware of. I know the footage your watching is from the Isle o white festival in 1970 Somebody spliced this video with Leeds concert. That's why the sound and live footage aren't jivin together quite well. It doesn't matter I quess. Can't ever go wrong with the Who live or studio Great reaction as always

[@danielb2993]

[@gregcable3250]

The Who was probably the wildest---before there was Robert Plant, there was Roger as the golden-haired lead singer, rock star. And Moon "the Loon" on drums, with Pete Townshend and his windmill guitar strums (that nearly always sliced open his right hand) and his leaps in the air and slides across the stage.
