THE WHO LIVE AT LEEDS Original Album Released: 1970 Released :1995 Label: Decca/MCA Format: Flac After releasing Tommy in mid-1969 The Who went on an extended world tour to promote it, and returned to England at year's end with a desire to release a live album from the tour. However, the band balked at the prospect of listening to approximately 80 hours of accumulated recordings to decide which would make the best album and it was rumoured that the tapes were subsequently burned to prevent bootlegging. Two shows were consequently scheduled, one at the University of Leeds and the other in Hull, for the expressed purpose of recording and releasing a live album. The shows were performed on 14 and 15 February 1970 at Leeds and Hull, respectively, but technical problems with the recordings from the Hull gig — the bass guitar had not been recorded on some of the songs — made it all the more necessary for the show from the 14th to be released as the album. Regardless of great approval of the Leeds gig by many fans and critics, the band members believed the recordings at Hull sounded better, as the acoustics projected better in the more spacious venue. The album was ranked number 170 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.(2005) Tracklist: 1."Heaven and Hell" – 4:50 2."I Can't Explain" – 2:59 3."Fortune Teller" – 2:35 4."Tattoo" – 3:42 5."Young Man Blues" – 5:52 * 6."Substitute" – 2:07 * 7."Happy Jack" – 2:14 8."I'm a Boy" – 4:42 9."A Quick One, While He's Away" – 8:41 10."Amazing Journey/Sparks" – 7:55 11."Summertime Blues" – 3:22 * 12."Shakin' All Over" – 4:34 * 13."My Generation" – 15:47 * 14."Magic Bus" – 7:48 * * Original tracks The Who Roger Daltrey - harmonica,vocals John Entwistle - bass guitae,vocals Keith Moon - drums Pete Townshend - guitar,vocals
