  • i may be wrong but i dont think this is the actual "live at leeds" concert,keiths drum kit is far to small for some of the stuff that you hear on the actual record,for instance "Young man Blues" listen to him at the end he seems to hit a lot of small "roto toms"(think thats what they call them) i cant see any on this video,but as i say i might be wrong.

  • Keith is mesmerizing! How the hell did he do all that weird shit? Was it because of or despite of all the chemicals that were probably flowing through him? Regardless, I miss him -_-,

  • did anyone here go to this?

  • I'd pay good money for the full length video!!! Somebody find it!!!!

  • what i love about this it shows how the recording never really did a great job at capturing moon that night ( as usual ). you put the visual of keith with the record, it makes it really come together to show what a monster of an artist and musician he really was.

  • If this truely is the footage from Leeds, England, it is the Holy Grail. That fucking video guy should have been fired for not bringing enough tape.

  • @beelzabubba i'm sure he did but its been lost or not even preserved at the time?!??Amazes me that the guys in the who were not more vigilant in documenting their greatness on stage. they knew their magic was on stage when it was the 4 of them and they new they never could capture that in the studio, even at the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!.

  • Is is the best live album ever, this video footage is amazing.

  • "Live at Leeds" is the best live album ever. Rolling Stone said it.

  • Two people are forgiven for disliking this video.

  • Comment removed

  • oh man,....., i just did the nastiest fart you can imagine! LOL!

  • i could watch my baby drum all day

  • No, seriously. find the rest of this video footage.

  • I hope that there is more of this film wow!

  • This is the Holy Grail of live Who footage. What a shame the camera guy didn't have enough tape to record it all.

  • Aw man, c'mon! This is torture. Somebody has got to have the unedited footage.

  • There were always affirmations that no film of "Live At Leeds" would exist, and what do i see here now !

    These copyright bastards !

    I want it all !

  • I dream of a full release of this someday

  • Keith Moon has the best triplets off the bass drums and floor toms of anybody of all time - Listen to Bargain studio version, and Summertime Blues Leeds - When is this whole DVD gonna be released by the WhoCom ????? We need this whole video !

  • I'm French sorry... Just a question for the life : WHERE IS THE COMPLETE VIDEO OF THIS DREAM ??? The Who are the best !!!

  • This is a dream come true! The album that defines not only rock and roll, but the Who as well finally breathes before our eyes!!! You could have thrown all their albums out and just put the 4 of them on stage and let them do their magic and you've got the real deal!!! Not that their albums weren't brilliant, they definately were, but THIS IS THE REAL WHO stripped right down to the heart and soul...!!!

  • Where'd you get this, where can I get it, and why didn't you put up the whole thing? Or did you already?

  • One of the greatest things about this concert is the simple setup they had. All the crap in the charts today have backup dancers and flashing lights and pyrotechnics when they are on stage. The Who had their instruments, amps and a few spotlights here, yet they still rocked harder than anyone else in the past 40 years. Real talent.

  • @vedderfan94 I fully agree with you... but it was The Who that later pioneered the laser light show ;)

  • @PeterVonRock Yeah I suppose but I'm talking specifically about this show, which IMO is their greatest ever.

  • Kieth Moon was the best .

    

  • @fanofjesus1970 Keith*

  • Now that bin Laden has been found (and killed) how about someone find the rest of this video ...

  • @UplandBill finding the rest of this video is far more important than finding bin laden

  • I've always said that i would pay all the money i have just to see this concert live, that is the closest i can get for free!

    This was the most unexpected and amazing gift that i've ever had:)

  • @don62snodgrass. The Who are not the greatest because they were one of the least consistent bands of their time. Obviously better live shows than Beatles or Stones but definitely not better music overall. Although I do think the stones are overrated, The Beatles are undoubtedly the greatest. Boiler jackets don't make bands great... consistency does.

  • @TheOppbitch yeah, but the who's music was 'strong', wheras the beatles were quite 'watery'. Pete Townshend said he was at home listening to music with John Entwistle and that they started playing about with the bass and treble settings and they realised that without the drumming and guitar, it was, as Townshend said in an interview, "pretty rubbish"

  • @ConnorG56 The Beatles music was, without a doubt, as strong as it needed to be. Any band who breaks up in 1970 and has the highest selling album of the 2000's (The Beatles - 1) doesn't have to worry about the strength of their music. I know Pete Townshend worried about it so much that he eventually cracked under the pressure. The Beatles just got better until they broke up. Any band who has Abbey Road as the last album they make together knows how to work under stress.

  • @TheOppbitch

    They may have been the least consistent, but they were also the biggest risk takers. That's what art is, whether it fails or succeeds.

  • @mmm222r Yes and that is why I believe they were better than the Stones. The Stones never had an album that was a work of art. The Who had Tommy, Quadrophenia, etc. The Beatles had Revolver, Sgt. Peppers, etc. Pink Floyd had Dark Side, The Wall, etc. All of these are masterpieces. Sticky Fingers and Let It Bleed are bullshit. Over-rated bullshit.

  • @TheOppbitch Just because something isn't meticulously premeditated doesn't mean that it's bullshit. I love and admire each band you've mentioned and I think you're missing the point of the Stones. The beauty of the Stones is their lack of premeditation, their chemistry, and their ability to create such organic, climactic, beautiful moments. These bands have almost nothing in common except the era they arrived in and the general influence of blues and rockabilly. They are incomparable.

  • Where did you get this footage?

  • Simply amazing! Thanks! :D

  • Absolutely awesome, incredible,amazing etc.etc.....THE WHO ARE AND WERE THE GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME!!!!! They blow THE TWO MOST OVERRATED AND WEAKEST BANDS IN HISTORY, THE STONES AND BEATLES OUT OF THE UNIVERSE!!!!! THAT'S RIGHT,THE STONES AND BEATLES!!!!! WEAK AND WEAKER!!!!!  THEY COULDN'T CARRY TOWNSEND'S BOILER SUIT AND DALTREY'S FRINGE JACKET AT THE SAME TIME! ENTWISTLE'S BASS AND MOON'S DRUMS BLOW BILL WYMAN CHARLIE WATTS, MCCARTNEY AND RINGO"ANYTHING BUT A STAR" OUT OF THE WATER!

  • I can't stop watching this!!! The energy and power is absolutely amazing!!!!!!

  • You find this(or at least a section of it)one the bonus features disk of Amazing Journey.

  • Oh my Gawd! This is fabulous! Without a doubt, this is the most fabulous thing I've ever personally seen on You Tube.

    I've been a Who fan for the last three decades, and posted here is something as close to the Holy Grail for me. Possibly the finest live rock album ever. Great post--mercy buckets!

  • No high hat for Moon!

  • Amazing video, thanks for it.

  • wow never thought I'd see this

  • This is incredible! All 4 members were at the top of their game on this night! I freaked when I saw a photo a few years back. THANK YOU!

  • Just saw a very similar, thought not exactly the same, clip of Christmas in The Who documentary "Amazing Journey". Perhaps there is more of Leeds out there somewhere ... oh btw, Amazing Journey DVD was $4 on Amazon.

  • Live at Leeds was recorded 14 February, 1970, not Christmas 1969.

  • @bruckfracious The year was wrong, but the song they were playing is called Christmas.

  • At 2:34 it says Christmas Leeds University, 1969? Wasn't Live at Leeds all 1970? I'm not a Who historian, so can someone fill me in? Thanks!

  • @garygustin Christmas is the name of the song, not the date.

  • @DustOnTheRoad Shows you how much I know about the Who (older Who stuff that is...)

  • @garygustin At a guess I'd say it was an error. It was very early 1970 so perhaps the student used 1969 as habbit. The audio is the 1970 gig and it synchronises nicely with the video.

  • @garygustin @barryburbs23b its because the name of the song is christmas, off the tommy album. Not an error and "good synchronisation".

  • Hello there music appreciator. I know this looks like spam But PLEASE HEAR ME OUT

    -Do bluesy bands likes Zeppelin, Floyd, Joplin, Doors, Hendrix, and The Who give you chills? Are you physically attracted to seeking truth in music? Well I am formally inviting you to take a listen to my channel, Using your open mind take the time to hear my tunes.. your subscribtion to my channel will help me show the world my music. Much Love.

  • Go Moony!!!!!

  • Super vidéo, merci !! Comment as-tu fait pour récupérer ces archives, je dirais même ces reliques ? :)

  • Is anyone who was there commenting on this?

  • WOW......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Where can we get the whole video of this ?? i've heard of it but never seen it til tonight ,..

  • I dislike - Ha! The ultimate looser.

  • Many people don't realize, film reels (amateur home ones) weren't very long, you only got a few minutes. And you'd have to choose your favorite moments to shoot. So they got some good little bits of songs. Great to see!

  • BEST THING EVER HAPPYEST DAY OF MY LIFE :)

  • WHERE IS THE WHOLE VIDEOOOOOOOOOO??? ARRRG!

  • Holy crap!!

    2:48- Trifecta of arm spinning awesomeness!!

  • holeeee shit!!!!! why isn't this on dvd!!!!????

  • Live at leeds on film? OK there are are unicorns for real!! The greatest live album ever. Now the best youtube post ever. The recording engineer that day deserves a knighthood from the queen, Iam shaking all over.

  • Man, what a great drummer he was!

  • SUPERLEEDSSUPERLEEDSSUPERLLEED­S!

  • This video makes me happy. 

  • every time i put this album i try to imagine how they played it, now i can truly see how great they were and they still are

  • THIS RECORD CHANGED MY LIFE AND TO SEE IT NOW...... WHAT CAN I SAY :

    THE GREATEST POST IN YOU TUBE HISTORY!!!!

  • the WHO forever!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Quite simply, the best thing I have seen on YouTube. This is an important historical artefact for all Who fans - holy grail stuff! I don't care it's only snippets, in some ways it makes it even better just to see fragments of some songs. I can't believe I'd ever see any live footage from Live at Leeds, so delighted to see this.

  • I tell myself if they ever make a time machine I'm going back to see The Who at Leeds!

  • @doughnutboy99 I've always thought the exact same thing.

  • Ouch, Townsend's vocals are rough.

  • The Greatest Live Album Ever. No doubt

  • Why hasn't this been released on DVD? This was probably one of the best live albums ever and it had to be a smoking concert to see. Sparks? More like flames......I would by the DVD in .79 seconds if it were available.

  • where the fuck is the rest of this tape :D

  • Magical!

  • Am I dreaming this?? Is this Live at Leeds on film? Where did this come from??

  • You could sell this for $100 per Dvd and sell a million copies. Why don't you do it? If you won't, send me the fucking tape and I will. Do it already!

  • Who are you? Why don't you release the whole thing? I'd pay a fortune for the DVD. What are you waiting for?

  • Who disliked this? What a wanker!

  • @azkatro *****

  • Just phenomenal.

  • Great surprise! I was long looking for leeds video! Thought never exist / great to see shot been made!!!

  • The greatest rock'n'roll band of them all!!!!!

    Is there more of this?

  • @sookame sadly no, this was the only footage taken (by the students) there are some color photos though :)

  • This is really awesome! I recently got the LP ;). Thanks for posting this!

  • Absolutely Priceless. This 'home video' gives some of the best views of how Keith would work off of Pete. Keith is amazing; at times his hold the sticks are like that of a conductor with a baton. The only disappointing thing about this video is that only has 26k views ... that count should be higher considering the crap on youtube that fetches millions of hits.

  • Comment removed

  • one question, IS THERE MORE ?!

  • Outstanding !!!!! I can't believe it. One of the best live events in history ,captured on video!!! There is a God!!!!

  • does really not exist a full footage of this superb show of the 20th century?

  • Keith was a flat out genius.

  • @HollywoodWags a drunk, high genius.

  • @SmackThatKittyMan A better drummer than you'll ever be.

  • Comment removed

  • @dp6876 I think he's one of the best drummers ever. and obviously I'm not better than Keith Moon.

  • @dp6876 I can guarantee you that my friend. I've never even sat at a drum set.

  • Years ago in the early/mid 70s I used to watch an ABC program called "In Concert". One time a voice-over came on and said the regularly scheduled concert wasn't avaiable, and that ABC was putting on something else. I couldn't believe it, it was The Who Live at Leeds!!! I've told many people over the years, but nobody believed me. I have tried to contact the archives at ABC before, but have received a response. But seeing this video confirms that they did play it. I wonder if a copy still exists.

  • @rob1958bc Was it this footage?

  • Tevideo gives you a small taste of this bands intensity. No gimmicks, no smore, no special light effects. Just raw musical power. Of course big amps.

  • It would be cool if our univercity would held this kind of events

  • thank you thank you thank you for that document!!!! amazzing,i got the cd album buyed not download ;-) masterpiece!!! its the video in sale??? brit pop nowadays its a crap compared with that. Oasis,blur...amazing keith moon playing drums!!! :,-0 sorry if my english its not very good

  • Keith Moon is the only drummer who can captivate you as well as any good lead singer. He's not fuckin human on the drums. He's like a hummingbird or sewing machine with a beat.

  • This is so much better than their performance at the Super Bowl.

  • @gomudhen These guys (all these older acts, eg: Stones, U2, Paul McCartney) have got to stop whoring themsleves at the Super Bowl. They should stop performing altogether. It's more for THEM than us...they should pay us! Robert Plant is the only one who understands that the magic is gone. The abandon of youth, the physicality of youth (and that combined with amazing talent and coolness these shitty fucking young performers of today don;t have) that this music was cant be played anymore.

  • @gomudhen McCartney should stick to the Opera he's working on for Broadway.

  • Keith Moon is just fucking nuts

  • Sat in the refectory right now looking at the stage it was performed on. LONG LIVE LEEDS

  • I'm a Zeppelin guy, but no doubt Live at Leeds is the best live rock album of all time on at least one list.

  • HOLEE SHIT!!! WHY ISN'T THIS ON DVD ? PRICELESS!!

  • HOLEE SHIT!!! WHY ISN'T THIS ON DVD ? PRICLESS!!

  • GREAT! One of the best albums ever. I just wonder :At around 2.35 it says "Leeds University 1969". Why? The concert for the album was recorded feb 1970

  • Do you have more detail on it?

  • MY GOD this is holy grail stuff here! I too think Live at Leeds is one of the best live recordings ever. And as someone who knows this record intimately, for years as a practicing guitar player, its a revelation to see here where Townshend flips his pickup selector switch, or where Moon breaks the stick, it all makes perfect sense to the music I could only imagine them performing. I'll never see it, But one day soon they will be able to clone these few bits of footage into the complete concert.

  • this is like watching the best trailer ever to exist for the best movie that never existed!

  • Is it real material from Leeds?? After all those years?? It's looks fantastic!! Thanks!

  • wow! a drum set without a hi-hat ! That's bloody original!

  • pisses me off how all u can see of John, is the neck of his bass

  • i always thought that it was roger singing on 'a quick one while he's away'. this proves me wrong xD

    OMAIGADDDWDD. i wish i were there >.<

  • @DyrenesKongle Roger, John AND Pete "sings" A Qucik One. Roger does the most parts, John is a backking vocal most time and the leading voice in "Igor the enginne driver" and pete sings as the girl.

  • What a treat...just look at Moon, playing his heart out. What a musician!

  • Fan-bloody-tastic !!!!!! Su-bloody-perb !!!! WhoFrench, were you a student at Leeds when they played?

  • @WelshVegan unfortunately not

  • No other band produced so much output like The Who!  The greatest rock n roll band ever...and will ever be!

  • AMAZING!!! 

  • the greatest live band and video of leeds i got the album when u got all of the freebes like the contract for woodstock never knew there was video cool thanx uploader

  • Keith Moon is so fucking bad ass on the drums. I love how he jumps up from the kit at the same time Townshend jumps in the air.

  • WOW - I've never seen this before. Thank you very much for posting this!

  • why are would only record parts of this concert! 

  • Amazing footage. Tryin to find magic bus from live @ leeds but no luck. Probably the best live song ever recorded. Nice work puttin this together. Quality was very good. Thanks!

  • luv hearing keith moon laugh like that

  • its good quailty and not shakey or anythign which is sick

  • Classics....=]

  • naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  • wonderful!

  • I echo the comments of my fellow WHO lovers, but I wanna add the point that this is not a bad video. Little camera shake etc. Maybe some current and future concert goers can learn about making vids for posterity. Thanks uploader!!

  • Thank you so much for this video. I have searched for years of some video of live@leeds. Even a bit of footage of this concert is good enough for me. This is simply amazing. Best live conecert ever.

  • Greatest album ever made in the history of music. made by the greatest band in the history of music

  • Amazing to produce such precision and quality live. I bow to the masters

  • The Who's live at leeds album is considered the greatest live album ever made by any group.The Who are the greatest live band on the planet and here is 4minute example in there prime and Moon at the top of his game.

  • why isnt the whole thing on video

  • @sundial35 there are piece of video took by students of leeds university (i'm french)

  • @sundial35 because the video of this is crap quality with no sound then it got remastered and they put the songs over and all the rest of Leeds is missing so this is all there is of it

  • if only the whole concert was on video...
