  • Audio is The Who - Leeds 1970 [2014 Mix]
    Video is Bethel NY 1969, London 1969, Lenox MA 1970, IOW 1970
    Timecodes are in the comments
    The Who performed two University dates for the purpose of recording a live album, having lost the patience to sort through the tapes recorded on the North American 1969 tour. The first gig, at the University of Leeds Cafeteria, in front of an audience of 2,000, showcased The Who’s live act at its finest. The original album featured only six songs, half of which were covers, live songs from tommy wouldn't officially come until years later. Kit Lambert manager of The Who was keen for Tommy to be taken seriously and wanted The Who to perform at opera houses.
    The main source of footage used (London 1969) was released as bonus footage with the 1977 Kilburn footage.
    The album was mostly composed by guitarist Pete Townshend, and is a rock opera that tells the story of Tommy Walker. Tommy is traumatized from witnessing his father murder his mother's lover; Tommy's parents then compound his shock by denying the experience. In reaction, Tommy becomes dissociative ("deaf, dumb and blind"). As a way of coping with his trauma, Tommy dissociates further through playing pinball and he gains a following because of his savant skill. After a numerous amount of other trauma and misguided attempts to heal Tommy, a doctor prescribes him a mirror so he can confront himself. Instead, Tommy becomes self-absorbed and comes to think of himself as a messiah figure. When the mirror is smashed by his parents in frustration, Tommy then breaks out of his dissociative state, and as a result more people become infatuated with him. Tommy with the help of his Uncle Ernie, who molested him and is only interested in money, starts a holiday camp and tries to lead his followers to believe that the only path to healing is going through what he experienced, becoming dissociative, playing pinball and giving up drugs and alcohol; which then his followers eventually reject him and his teachings.

    I’m 71 years old. I’ve been playing drums for over 50 years. I read music and standard drum notation. Ginger Baker and Keith Moon are the reasons I started playing drums in 1967. I saw “The Who” perform live in 1969, 1970, 1971, 1973 and 1975. For me, during those years Moon was at the height of his drumming powers. In my opinion he played like a jazz drummer. He preferred the use of crash and ride cymbals (as opposed to high hats) for time keeping patterns (and accents) and dazzlingly creative fills (especially his use of flams) to create the percussive equivalent of tone paintings. The Entwistle/Moon rhythm section is one of the finest in rock. They are perfectly matched. Their interplay is the epitome of synchronous musical perfection. Even though there are numerous myths and catalogs of false information about Keith Moon, his drumming on “The Who Sell Out”, “Tommy”, “Live At Leeds”, “Who’s Next” and “Quadrophenia” are irrefutable evidence of his percussive brilliance and genius.

      I heard him for the first time in 1965 when 'my generation' was in the charts in Sweden. It was just before my seventh birthday and I was totally captivated. I had never heard anything even close to that.
      Ofcourse, I was just a little shit. But I still havent and I never stopped loving his drumming.

      I am also 71 years old (female). I completely agree with your comments on Keith Moon. He must be the greatest drummer of all time. Without the right percussion, it doesn't work. Nobody else could have pulled if off. It is truly a joy to listen to it.

      All the greats of the period , Bonham, Baker, Mitchell and Moon built a genre coming from a different musical headspace , influences than those who learned on their playing. They innovated and did what felt right for what they were doing, knowing what they knew. The use of empty space, looseness, and some like Moon trying to play the whole song, not just lay the base.

    The Who have so much notoriety for just being The Who. But we have to talk about just what incredible unique musicians every single guy in this band was. There was not a weak link anywhere. Pete’s guitar playing is effortless. John’s bass playing is seamlessly up and down the fretboard. Keith played a lot of notes but never left the pocket. And Roger got stronger and stronger over the years. I’m just endlessly mind fu-ed by this band.

  • @michaelcornish929
    @michaelcornish929 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +82

    Mystifies me why so called experts dare to criticise Keith Moon’s playing. Even Townshend has had some critical things to say about it. He was incredible to say the least. Full of flair, creativity and energy and the perfect foil to Townshend. I’ve seen plenty of bands and drummers over the years. I have seen The Who live and with Zac, plenty of vids with the great Simon Phillips and Kenny Jones. But no one has ever quite captured the essence of Moon’s style. Who cares if he only plays single stroke rolls!!! His ability to manipulate the snare, his cymbal flourishes and the speed and precision of his wrists are eye watering. The Who between late 1968 to 1975 were the best live band in the world.

    • @BobbysArchive
      @BobbysArchive  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

      Agreed. He loved single stroke rolls, but he also sprinkled in tricky rudiments in his fills all the time; one of my favorites being some of his clean 5 stroke rolls in Underture/Sparks.
      I’ve asked this to multiple drummers who highly criticize Moon and they always shut down when I say it: Can you name any other drummer who played to a metronome live before 1971?

      I was just thinking the same thing as I watched this. Whatever you want to say about Keith, the most important thing is that he was one of a kind, and the only drummer that truly was The Who. They would not have been who they are without each of the great players in this band. Keith is essential to The Who sound.

    As a faithful Who fan from the very beginning (in other words, OLD🤣), i'm probably not alone in saying that this was their finest hour. I love ALL of their incredible music, and saw them many other times, but the Live at Leeds era was the alignment of the spheres. Seeing them at Anaheim in 1970 was PRICELESS! I still get chills just thinking about it, and watching this great video. LONG LIVE THE WHO. And thanks again for this!

    99.9% of bands - drums and bass, together. Singer up front. Guitar flying high. The Who - bass is alone... singer up front...drums and guitar play together and off of one another. This was quite unusual and unique to the Whos' performance.

    If you hear Led Zepellin you hear a good drumming. If you hear Tommy the drumming is musical, is not looking like drumming. Drummers not only admire Moon, not even understand how he does it soimultaneously in precisiion, speed, time keeping and repetion of exactly like studio recording. Many drummers can play other drummers songs. Nobody can play Keith Moon drumming without being simplified to an ugly result. Keith Moon is not only the best drummer in rock but also by far . It is Keith Moon and the others. This video prooves it. A god of drums. Tommy is his biggest miracle.

The time to see The Who was in 1969-1971, like in this Tanglewood performance (ironically 145 miles West of where I was at the time), but I was too young.

If you get a few minutes check The James Gang "Yer Album" They do a Yardbirds cover of Lost Woman Blues. Basically it's the reason Joe n tha Gang were The Who's opener. They had nothing to lose and everything to gain. They came out and ripped it! I watched Pete standing on the side of the stage eyeing Joe hard . He loved it . They became good friends Joe gave Pete his 1st sunburst Les Paul . Later shows you will see him playing it and not his typical SG. Another bit of rock n roll history. Thx much man!!!

    I just noticed this but I hear a lot of this era of The Who in Rush, the 2112 era. Also, one of the great things about this performance, similar to Rush too, is how balanced the instruments are. Entwistle takes up a lot of space, by necessity and design, but no more or less than Moon or Townsend. A rock band whose bassist is an equal member sonically? Imagine that! That’s what I love about The Who - every player is a section onto themselves. Brillant!

    • @BobbysArchive
      @BobbysArchive  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Definitely! It's very rare you hear a performance mixed where the bass and guitar is hard panned on the left and right channels, but with The Who it works incredibly well with the way they all play off each other. Also it surprisingly sounds pretty good in mono too. There's clearly no weak link in The Who. Thanks for watching.

For what we have and how much they improvised I’d say it’s impressive how well the band syncs up.

    I have a question. Do you have more Live Who footage in general, and bc a I've been searching for a Townsend solo from MSG in either '76 or '79. I shuck my tape recorder in but lost the tape decades later. :(
    Pete's going mostly up,v and a little down the scale but in repeating he's climbing higher and higher on the scale over all. Finally tops out w a few mire notes ten I think they slam into WGFA! it's the most incredible solo I've heard him play and so have 20 sows I'ves seen. THX for any help

I think it would've been cool if they played Cousin Kevin, Sensation and Welcome; but at the same time I think the story still works and the flow of the songs is amazing live.

    Nothing is further from the truth (at least from 1967 until 1974). In the 1970s, I attended Denver University. One of my fellow students was the son of an Air Force officer who was stationed in England in the late 1960s. His family lived in an apartment above Keith Moon. He told me that Moon practice all the time. In fact, he practiced so much that the noise was the source of numerous complaints from neighbors. It’s true that from 1975 until his death he spent most of his time partying and little time practicing. This is evident in his lack luster flaccid drumming on “The Who By Numbers” and “Who Are You” albums.

    • @BobbysArchive
      @BobbysArchive  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I can believe it considering how Moon kept incorporating new techniques and evolving in his playing over time until about 1973-74. 74-77 he still has many amazing moments, but I also agree with you, once he extended his kit and started drinking more, his playing did become lack luster more often.

      @@BobbysArchive I’m 71 years old. I’ve been playing drums for over 50 years. I read music and standard drum notation. Ginger Baker and Keith Moon are the reasons I started playing drums in 1967. I saw “The Who” perform live in 1969, 1970, 1971, 1973 and 1975. For me, during those years, Moon was at the absolute height of his drumming powers. In my opinion he played like a jazz drummer. He preferred the use of crash and ride cymbals (as opposed to high hats) for time keeping patterns (and accents) and dazzlingly creative fills (especially flams) to create the percussive equivalent of tone paintings. The Entwistle/Moon rhythm section is one of the finest in rock. They are perfectly matched. Their interplay is the epitome of synchronous musical perfection. Even though there are numerous myths and catalogs of false information about Keith Moon, his drumming on “The Who Sell Out”, “Tommy”, “Live At Leeds”, “Who’s Next” and “Quadrophenia” are irrefutable evidence of his percussive brilliance and genius.
