This two-disc set should be the final word regarding the Who's February 14, 1970, performance at Leeds University. The main impetus for consumers -- who may have repurchased this title in its various formats -- is having the entire Tommy rock opera intact. While impressive, that performance merely scratches the surface of the multifaceted sonic and visual improvements that exist on the Live at Leeds (Deluxe Edition). The 1995 single-disc restoration of Live at Leeds more than doubled the original six-track album, which consists of all the non-Tommy material performed that evening. This deluxe edition features the Who's entire performance -- albeit in a somewhat truncated form. To accommodate a seamless inclusion of Tommy onto the second disc, "Shakin' All Over," "My Generation," and "Magic Bus" have been taken from their chronologically correct place at the end of the entire show and relocated to the end of the first (read: non-Tommy disc). Even though drastic improvements augmented the 1995 release, time considerations meant that some ambience and stage dialogue between the band and the audience was still missing. With the expansion to a two-CD format, much of the previously edited material has been reinstated to reflect the actual pacing of the show more accurately. This new mix -- supervised by Pete Townshend (guitar/vocal) -- is an all-encompassing stereoscape which has never felt more intimidating. Although no mention is made in the information- and memorabilia-laden 28-page liner-notes booklet, vocalist Roger Daltrey performed several vocal overdubs during Tommy which are unique to this release. Although not impossible to locate, they blend surprisingly well with a recording that is fairly old. Live at Leeds (Deluxe Edition) is a must-own release for any rock & roll collection. ~ Lindsay Planer, Rovi

The Who 's Live at Leeds concert recording set the standard for concert recording. Not all of the bands have met the challenge. This recording records the Who at their best where everything falls into place perfectly. The material is spot on and the engineering truly captures the band's sound. You really feel as if you are in the hall. head phones just make the experience even better. Of course when we used to play this we hooked up guitar amplifiers to the stereo .
The songs reflect the inner workings of the band. John Entwhistle's "Lead guitar" bass lines combined with Keith moon's drumming are a powerful combination over which Peter Townshend's guitar and Roger Daltry's vocals ride.
This is an essential part of anyones Who collection.
