I love The Who Live! It took them a while to actually get a decent representation of their live power on a studio album. The critics all agree that Who's Next was that album. I agree with them on this point. Still, my favorite Who album is Live At Leeds. Basically it was the second Who release I owned. It was on 8-track tape...so yes I am old (lol). I was also given a little before that the American release Magic Bus The Who On Tour. A compilation of early Who tracks that were from singles or EPs. The early recordings sounded real thin to me but Live At Leeds blew me away. The power reminded me of bands like Vanilla Fudge, The Jeff Beck Group and Led Zeppelin.

I can't remember when it was but not too long ago Pete Townshend made a statement that The Who had invented Heavy Metal with Live At Leeds. It was some what controversial with some Metal Heads and critics. Now me I believe a little more like this: The Who was definitely an influence on Heavy Metal and on Punk Rock. The tones and performance on Live At Leeds were just as instrumental as the more accepted Metal influences. The MC5, Blue Cheer, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Vanilla Fudge and The Jeff Beck Group with Rod Stewart are all accepted as Proto-Metal Hard Rock Bands. The thing I found interesting is how many US Punk Rockers I met that loved The Who and hated almost every one else. Anyway this is another version of a very well known Who show, but it sounds real good!
