Product Description Here on 2 CDs is the first complete release of the Who\'s 1970 concert at Leeds-plus, for the first time anywhere, their entire Leeds performance of Tommy ! Amazon.com Long considered one of the greatest live albums ever recorded, the Who\'s Live at Leeds was originally edited and packaged to resemble the haphazard state of early-\'70s bootlegs, then expanded and sonically upgraded in the mid-1990s. But this deluxe edition finally restores the blistering February 1970 Leeds University concert to its full running length by adding the band\'s earliest officially available live rendition of the then-fresh Tommy in its entirety. And while it isn\'t perfect (the Tommy tracks have been moved from their original slot in the show and resequenced to fit onto disc 2 here), this album now takes its place as the best available document of the Who in their truly ferocious prime, trumping the previously available Isle of Wight show (recorded some six months later) in both performance level and sound quality. It also begs a little revisionist pondering: Are these the true godfathers of punk? Pete Townshend\'s music and chord structures may have often been jazz-based, but they careen with an energy that seems at once feral and superhuman. Roger Daltrey\'s vocals snarl with palpable grit, while the rhythm section of John Entwistle and Keith Moon thunders menacingly along like an overheated locomotive. The Tommy heard here is still vital and alive, played by a band whose fervent, in-the-moment abandon is a wonder to behold. --Jerry McCulley
