FLASHBACK: THE WHO RECORDS ‘LIVE AT LEEDS’
Sunday (February 14th) marks the 46th anniversary of the recording of the Who’s legendary 1970 gig at England’s Leeds University — the concert which eventually became their first live set, Live At Leeds. The original 1970 release only featured six tracks, including elongated versions of “My Generation” and “Magic Bus” along with show stoppers such as Mose Allison’s “Young Man Blues,” their 1966 single “Substitute,” and covers of Eddie Cochran’s “Summertime Blues,” and Johnny Kidd and the Pirates’ “Shakin’ All Over.”
•The original expanded two-disc version of Live At Leeds features such Who standards as “I Can’t Explain,” “Tattoo,” “Happy Jack,” “I’m A Boy,” “A Quick One While He’s Away,” and a complete performance of the rock opera Tommy — including live staples as “Pinball Wizard,” “The Acid Queen,” “Christmas,” “Cousin Kevin,” “Sparks,” “I’m Free,” “We’re Not Gonna Take It,’ and “See Me, Feel Me.”
•The recently released “Super-Deluxe 40th Anniversary Collectors’ Edition” of Live At Leeds now includes the band’s 1970 Hull’s City Hall concert taped two nights after the Leeds show, on February 16th, 1970. The Live At Hull collection was reissued separately in 2012.
