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.

[@VincentAgostino-gy6hr]

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

[@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...

[@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.....

[@brewstergallery]

Best Bass player in rock and roll!

[@dwhite849]

best drummer too they kept it alive every second

[@randyallaben9900]

Truth.

[@janicez2630]

yes!!

[@brentfreeland5834]

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

[@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]

Too much wimpy shit

[@RullXov]

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

[@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 ⭐

[@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.

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

[@marinman3551]

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

[@Bassman2353]

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

[@ML-un1oi]

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

[@renemokum]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@wayL0ck]

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

[@timbaker6540]

The Bloody WHO 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@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

[@danielb2993]

Wow! GREAT song choice.

[@robertlear2712]

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

[@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".

[@user-yj7iq6um8g]

Wow an amazing performance by the Who, I’ve always loved this song. Thank you both!

[@jackp8583]

Wonderful that you two listen to everything! I particularly appreciate your reactions to the Rock legends, like this. You always get an immediate like.

[@nancymjohnson]

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

[@MikeOstrowski-iq8wf]

My favorite song off my favorite album by The Who 🔥🎸❤️

[@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

[@jimmoore8951]

Maximum R&B! Thought you both would like seeing this one

[@erolbulut2584]

One of the all time great live albums

[@jlmain5777]

What a terrific band!

[@RuthKing-wm9nw]

Always a wild show! Moon Townsend and Daltry always perform to the max and I love the shots of those fingers working that bass!!!!

[@doriwiljt]

Happy you did this one and you loved it. 🙂. Live at Leeds is a great album.

[@rebeccatyrrell-zn6kt]

Thanks guys brilliant! And I’m from Leeds, Yorkshire, England

[@1bigrowdy]

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

[@anthonyattard6726]

This time was a sort of a rock renesaince, never repeated again.

[@kevinhodgins1811]

Such a great album. Even better when played at its loudest!

[@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.

[@brianthornton5345]

Love this live version ❤️

[@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.

[@michaelgreenfield1009]

The Power of rock

[@vicprovost2561]

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

[@msfoodiediva]

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

[@kimmjohnston4744]

Tremendous

[@SoOutrageous]

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

[@129robertp]

Now that is a Rock band! Possibly the best concert I ever saw was The Who. And I've seen a lot.

[@cosmiccowboy7764]

Nobody talks about the genius of Peter Townsend , songwriting, guitar innovation, indescribable!

[@vicprovost2561]

His songwriting was as good as anyone. Concept albums, all time anthems, big hits, he could do it all!

[@joescott8877]

Heard this version 'bout 20 times, prolly. First time SEEING it. Which is on me. The Who are such a blast of volume and fun!

[@user-uh3nn9sm1j]

Townsend in a live performance is another level..

[@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 🍻

[@Pintail16]

Mr. Keith Moon on drums before his unfortunate early passing. That man was a beast...

[@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...

[@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.

[@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.

[@chitownlee]

Best live band ever!

[@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!!! 😎

[@willblood7082]

I’ve been lucky enough to see them 5 times over the past 50 years!

[@ms51675]

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

[@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.

[@eileencastillo6323]

SO good. 😊✌🏼💙

[@markmurphy558]

[@woodyheywood8792]

"The OX" on Bass ---- He also plays French Horn on some tunes....freaking wonderful how they kick everyone in the teeth with the explosives around 5:18...Pure ROCK-N-ROLLA'S

[@Entanglement64]

Great live rendition of a really great song.

[@davidwilkins5932]

Man, those guys were in their prime. 🎶

[@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!

[@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! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎹🎶

[@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

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.

[@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.

​​​@@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.

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.
