The Who record “Live at Leeds”

Today marks the 43rd anniversary of the recording of the Who’s concert at England’s Leeds University.  The concert eventually became their first live set, ”Live at Leeds.”

• The expanded Live At Leeds was reissued twice on CD — in 1995 and 2001 — each time featuring more songs from the Leeds show from February 14th, 1970 — with the 2001 version including the Who’s full performance of Tommy.

• The new version of the set, which marks the third time the 1970 classic has been expanded and reissued, is now housed in a hard-back box with cover artwork reproducing the original black stamped vinyl first UK pressing.
• Here is the only footage known to exist of the Who’s performing at Leeds University February 14, 1970.
