This is history. The Greatest ever rock band at their best introducing their most famous work. This is history boys. Pete and Keith playing off each other in 1970.......how good does it get?
I think I read somewhere that Pete is going through the Qudrophenia master tapes with the possiblity of producing a deluxe package with some live material from 1973 possibly
pete's sloppy playing sounds good! listen to the rolling stones live, alot more sloppy and it doesn't sound right. don't get me wrong, i like the stones and their music, but this is just way better
i wonder how he was going from clean to cruch to heavy overdrive, was there much pedals in those days or is he doing all with the guitar / amp & by altering the volume on his guitar.. thats what i would think he does..
Moon at the end is priceless

Pete Townshend, the only man who could control the freight train that was Keith Moon.

I was raised on Live at Leeds, Dad brought the album home new. Tanglewood is a revelation. In 2011, however, rock is dead.

@thebigguyconnor since Keith has just been calling the audience to be quiet, I think the fan is shouting "WE'RE QUIET ALREADY, GODDAMMIT!"
could be wrong, though...

To The Person Who Posted This Piece:
Oh my God (for I have seen Him, and His name is Townshend), you have put the words with the pictures.
I sincerely hope you never decide to form a cult. Because, if you do, I'll have no choice but to join.

@mkerwin1 you're all welcome! I love this just as much as all of you do. it's incredibly awesome
sorry for the glitched up audio in the beginning (sounding like something is in pete's throat). youtube did that.
