Description: “What hits you when you listen to it is
you realise how much you need to see the Who.”
Pete Townshend, 1970“Hull was a better gig than
Leeds. I remember it like it was yesterday - although
in retrospect Live At Hull doesn’t really trip off the
tongue’’.Roger Daltrey, 2010Live At Leeds was the
ultimate confirmation of the Who’s sheer ferocity as
a live rock act without equal. Whereas their studio
recordings had only tantalisingly hinted at the all-
out barrage of the senses that a live Who gig
produced, Live At Leeds removed all
doubt.Following on the heels of the success of the
‘rock opera’ Tommy, and the band’s grandstanding
appearance at the Woodstock Festival, when
released in 1970, Live At Leeds unwittingly
documented the Who at the peak of their powers,
whose shows now stretched up to two and a half
hours without a break containing Tommy as their
centrepiece. Except it should have been very
different. The original intention was to release the
recording from the Hull City Hall performance the
following night after Leeds as the live album. The
recording from Leeds, the first gig of the tour, was
largely set up as a back-up in case there were any
problems with the Hull recording. Suffice to say,
upon listening to the tapes it was thought that John
Entwistle’s bass was missing from the Hull
recording. With little they could do to repair the
tapes in those days, the band went with the Leeds
recording for release instead, despite preferring the
Hull performance. Now years later the Hull tapes
were revisited and it was discovered that because
the first reel consisting of four tracks had no
bass,everyone had assumed that the whole show
had no bass and didn’t listen to any more of it,but in
fact the rest of the gig was complete.Through the
wonders of modern technology, however, the full
Hull recording has been repaired by flying in
Entwistle’s bass tracks from the Leeds recording to
repair the Hull tapes and is now available in it’s
entirety for the first time ever. Captured on the
Super-Deluxe 40th Anniversary Collectors’ Edition
of this landmark of live albums, at the time, live pop
or rock albums tended to be primitive affairs when
capturing both band and audience. Live At Leeds
was no exception, recorded on a mobile unit placed
amid the kitchen of a university refectory in an
unassuming industrial town in northern England.
