The Who - My generation- Live at Leeds (PART II)

[quirpco]

Turn it up all the way NO LATER than :30

[Ianhw77k]

You have no idea where this music takes me. Near the end of about 6 hours playing, this "jam" shows us what a band who are so in tune with eachother can really do. Absolutely mind blowing!

[juan13579run]

0:35 what song is that?

[kwagmyrefrontman]

Someone actually clicked the dislike button? Bieber fan perhaps?

[NoHairMon]

No matter how many times I listen to this track it sends chills up my spine. Rock on !

[schmittelt]

Turn it up at 4:30 and wait. Watch the heads turn.

[schmittelt]

On a roll here...I always say that Pete can destroy you with a single chord. 3:22 is proof.

[schmittelt]

someone needs to fuze parts one and two together for continuity. I don't know how but I know it can be done.

[ConnorG56]

Is that a real song or just a jam at 0:34? if its a real song whatis it called?

[schmittelt]

@ConnorG56 It's sort of an improvised jam. It was surely improvised at some point in this period of their career, but here it souds a little to polished to be made up by Pete on the spot. Then again, it's the Who! I don't think it has a name but I've always thought of it as "Deceivement."

[ConnorG56]

@schmittelt thats exactly why i thought it was a real song, with the singing and drums coming in perfectly.

[schmittelt]

@ConnorG56 Yes. He plays the riff twice before the Ox and Moonie kick in. Sort of a quick lesson from the band "leader". The Who had four leaders.

[ConnorG56]

@schmittelt Yep

[kwagmyrefrontman]

@ConnorG56 That's called Jammin'.

[swedaddy]

This was heavy metal in the beginning of the 70

[milesneedham]

rock and roll, thats it. nothing left to say. the end. if you look up rock and roll in the dictionary it should say... "listen to 'live at leeds'" the should say in order to get to heaven you have to accept live at leeds as your personal lord and savior.... it's all good after that!!

[ThaKunzlermichael]

6:21 this is some extruciatingly heavy guitar chordage Yet Another savant guitar sound unique on the planet - a real one off

[ThaKunzlermichael]

5:14 is rippen too

[ThaKunzlermichael]

3:42 really does it

[makokan2000]

is this rock and roll according to elvis?

[finalnexus]

5:45 to 6:10!!!!

[serapisusa]

raw. rock n roll at its finest.

[ryodistributor]

choice cuts. thanks for uploading.

[1962drob]

It really starts to rock @0:30 (YEAH!!!)

[1962drob]

Oh, Hell Yeah!!! Someone uploaded "My Generation" from "Live At Leeds" in 2 parts!!! Thank you sooo so much for doing that!!! This kicks ass!!!

[Diogenes1360]

El Poderoso . . .

[cosmicrider287]

captain powerchords kick out the jams.

[mingostar99]

thunder on john, thunder on

[marcus123211]

the beginning sounds a little like zeppelin

[Harstena]

N.S.U. and Sleepy time time from Live Cream kan compare with this but as an album there is no better....!

[Harstena]

N.S.U. and Sleepy time time from Live Cream kan copare with this but as an album there is no better....!

[mklvn777]

One of the best versions of sparks they ever played, moon was GREAT.

[wby3006]

This is the best "stoned babble" live instrumental ever. Can't help wondering if they even planned it - or if it was just a spur-of-the-moment thing while on stage.

Either way, it's great listening when getting stoned with a few friends...

[atsabraxas]

Awesome track of one of the two best live Albums ever- "Irish Tour '74 " by Rory being the other. Superb stuff!!!

[YooperG]

@atsabraxas Hey atsabraxas / excellent to hear someone mention one of the all time amazing and unheard live albums ever produced; Rory Gallagher's "Irish Tour '74". Eric Clapton credits our Irish friend for introducing him to the possibilities of blues guitar music. Great to read Rory's name on YT. Respect.

[bluepez57]

One of the Best Rock albums ever.

[Diogenes1360]

OOH MY BALLS!!!!!

[mansfieldmick]

i grew up on this,its like coming home listening to this again

[48perkins]

so awesome...

[cosmicrider287]

townshend,the man with fire in his hands.

[loislombardo]

@cosmicrider287 thanks henrey lois likes this to

[quakesraw]

Ultimate band, ultimate live lp.

[benabz]

This the best song on the best album by the best band of all time. 3.17 for me is when the sun spins in the opposite direction and my spine turns to jelly, I have literally become weak at the knees listening to this section - if this was the only thing The Who ever recorded they would beat every band for all time with their unmatched, blazing intensity.

[maida1982a]

best song from best live album of all time.

[Copholder]

the best part in this song is 0:00 - 7:39

[Sludge9509]

This is the best thing i've ever heard

[Miker11235]

This isn't even, like, a song. It's like, literally pure rock and roll brought down to earth by (some) god through the Who.

[TheLagunaSunrise]

@Miker11235 Basically, yeah... lol

[ejdbk]

hmmm

i wonder what was roger daltry doing on stage when the rest of the band are playing long solos

[Korph88]

@ejdbk tamburins..

[RossWoodhouseMusic]

@ejdbk Probably not having a sit down thats for sure!

[toedster]

Man. I'm glad i got the original record. Great stuff listening to it off the vinyl...when i had a turntable.

[theeOO69]

Its great when pete plays off his own echo

[johnoliver1955]

One of the beat Live recordings ever, on vinyl and I guess cd's you could here the cracking and popping noise from amps. I was 15 and doing all kind of things, awesome show that year here at Hofienz Pavilloin on UH Campus.

[buzzontap]

RAW. ROCK. N. ROLL.

[silat13]

My Generation/See Me Feel Me/Listening to You/Higher/Overbridge/ Coming Out To Get You/ Underture/Driving Four 2

[evilash1996]

@silat13 thanks i needed that so much

[evilash1996]

@silat13 thanks what album are higher,coming out to get you, and driving four 2 in?

[raflell]

Just amazing.

I think this is the best who time, along with "whos next" and "quadrophenia".

[Quickmood]

....its Actually 16 min and something...and pete had a speech right before my generation....

[slinky460]

It is a shame that no one makes music like this anymore. Once in a lifetime I guess.

[jstead91]

all the song is my generation but this is longer because its live

[Thermotic]

What's the song at 4:35?

[Thermotic]

@Thermotic

I really must know! Please someone tell me :(

[jstead91]

Best tune ever!!

Best bass player

Best drum player

Best vocal

Best guitarist

[slinky460]

The full power of tube amplifiers used here.

I liked it then, I like it now.

[WoodstockImprov]

0:35 What's the name of the song?

[ACLZBS70]

in a guitar tab its says it's called Coming Out To Get You

[WoodstockImprov]

Thank you!

[ACLZBS70]

ur welcome i only wish it was a song though. its just and improv.

[ACLZBS70]

its an improv.

[ohsteven]

If you buy a new pair of speakers, this is the first album you should play through them. Just turn your stereo all the way up and if you're not rockin and knockin over furniture by the time this song ends, you need to take the speakers back.

[Thermotic]

@ohsteven

Do you know which song plays at 4:35?

[ScrottoBagginz]

I have listenned to this album multiple times as well as the original, the Isle of Wight etc... I believe this is an improv that kinda became a staple in Pete's solos. I could be wrong but I don't believe it is a specific song.

[christoJihad2]

@ohsteven Dude, that is the best way to test new speakers I've ever had the privilege to hear and instantly understand!!! I don't have enough money for a new razor, but when I do come back to semi-prosperity, I will definitely use you formula for finding and keeping the best stereo equipment. I love all of Cream's live material, but they're the two best live band recordings I've ever heard or ever will.

[christoJihad2]

@ohsteven I have to disagree. I have several bands I love more than The Who, but when I bought my first really nice, powerful stereo, I popped its cherry with "Baba O'Reilly." It is an incredible song, incredibly recorded.

[quakesraw]

@ohsteven Pyscho Pete...just jammin!!! @ 5:00 around on....

[christoJihad2]

I thought "Spoonful" and "Sitting On Top Of The World" by Cream were the best live stuff I've ever heard. But now, once again, I think I was wrong. "My Generation" is the best, EVER!!!

[barbamitsos]

try "I'm so glad" in goodbye's album same amazing stuff

[christoJihad2]

I love that track like the others, and when you bring it up, I can't help but think of "Hideaway", the title changed to "Steppin' Out" on Live Cream Vol. II. They're all great tracks. But thanks for putting this diamond song in a world full of mud. A few of us were happy to remember it.

[ddthorny]

@barbamitsos

Cream were good too, but not this good. Pete and Keith Moon were awesome as was Daltrey in fine vocal form at Leeds.

[christoJihad2]

@barbamitsos I've listened to "Goodbye" since the day it came out, and then "Live Cream I" and Live Cream II" and I love all three. You're right, "I'm So Glad" does kick ass bigtime.

[quakesraw]

@barbamitsos at 5:00 

[quakesraw]

@barbamitsos at 5:00 just jammin!!

[Aldebaron9]

@christoJihad2 Hendrix was better than both.........

[christoJihad2]

@Aldebaron9 I'm not saying that Jimi's not the best, because JIMI'S THE BEST EVER, PERIOD, END OF STORY!!! I love "Machine Gun" off the "Band Of Gypsys" album. I just don't think there were as many recordings that were recorded as well as "Live At Leeds" and some of Cream's live shows.

[Harry3G]

Pete is like F-16 carrying 2 atomic bombs at 3:42 to 3:46.. absolutely superb !!

[socaltrick]

***** <3

[nvrnebetr]

total music.

[schmittelt]

Pete can destroy you with a single chord

[04hacketta]

well, the first chord wounds you. the second chord finshes you off. and if that doesnt work, he can just do his famous guitar smash. on your spine!

[rsl84416]

and a couple stacks of Hiwatts

[thisNewFoundLand]

...the drumming during the Sparks section remains, for me, the most perfect blend of power and precision that i have ever heard. Live at Leeds is the Olympus of all live recordings in the rock genre. It is almost impossibly powerful...

[christoJihad2]

The whole song is beyond description. But your words are as close as it comes to what I'd like to say!!!

[wobrien007]

@thisNewFoundLand

Well put my friend.  This is the pinnacle of live rock 'n roll. There are a lot of other great live recordings, but this kicks the others' asses and takes their lunch money....

[DustOnTheRoad]

@thisNewFoundLand Agree 100% The genius that Moon displayed in this song is something that nothing or no one duplicate. You describe it perfectly in your comment. It's like control and abandon all at once.

[maida1982a]

the ending always sounded like what a plane crash might sound like-unleashed and almost inexplicable power.

[npspec34]

What makes this soooo goood?

The changes that are WHO for now.

They didn't play this after this period.

GREAT and remember IT for that.

[Rorschach65]

I love the part 30 seconds in. It's like - "yeah, you didn't think we were going there, did ya? But we just did, didn't we? Now watcha gonna do about it? Yeah, that's what we thought. Now sit back and relax while Pete melts your face off."  Epic.

[schmittelt]

and those few chords right before it is when you're supposed to turn it way up!

[TeenageWasteland802]

If this isn't real music, then I don't know what is.

[supu6]

The last part is the best where Pete is playing by himself then he stops and it is quiet and then the whole band explodes into a monster sound.

[020338]

monster is the word indeed!

[ImWhiteSon]

Thank you kind sir!!!

[mullinator7]

best part.... EVER. nobody can compare

[musfutmuj]

The Who Rocks!! XD

[fozzo55]

Ultimate rock classic
