Proto-punk in 1965, and still proto-punk in 1970. This was pretty much how The Who performed "My Generation" from the late 60's up til the mid 70's. It starts with "My Generation", but then weaves in sections of 'Tommy', some themes intended for the 'Lifehouse' project, and even a bit of what would eventually become the song "The Naked Eye". It was intended to be completely open ended, where Pete was allowed to play whatever came to him. But The Who were *so* mentally in sync by 1970 that no matter how long this went on they rarely went off the rails.
I played on the same stage at Leeds some seven years after this magic gig, suffice to say we didn't play as well and didn't go down as well, that's all I'm sayin'...
I agree! @@brianjerlow681 But it has to be done a side at a time, not just a song here or there, imho to get the real impact of the story and the music
im 67 and have been a who fanfor 55 years..when i die i want nothing but who music played at my funeral lol they are the best rock group ever...and by far the best live band ...prove me wrong.
@@pierretoureille7359 I only listed to Todd's free, but that does not make me blind to the top 4. The top 5 or the top 6 I just thought i wouldn't start listening because you could probably get it easily a dozen out there without even thinking about it. So good reply. I appreciate drummers across-the-board. And that was the only thing I was trying to do was keep it short.
@@bobschenkel7921 No argument there. I was just keeping my list short for making a comment. And on most things people say top 3. But I am totally aware of the great drummers because I really appreciate drummers. So, yes, I agree with you because we could just as well. Make a list of the top 4 or the top 5 etc. My intent was not to exclude or forget about anyone. It was just a basic comment, so I'm on board with you.
I am always amazed at the full sound they get out of just guitar, bass, and drums. I will still maintain that The Who from the late 60s to mid 70s is the greatest live band of all time. Yes, I got to see them in December of 1975 and drove through a snow storm in Cleveland, Ohio to see them
One of the cool features of the "Live At Leeds" album package was a copy of The WHO's contract for the Woodstock concert. It was included as an "extra", some folks thought it was their real contract, and they just got it by accident. LOL. That British sense of humor.
Probably one of, if not THE best, live album EVER!!! The entire album (original version) is just knock-out stuff! At the time, and frankly, even still, it was the HEAVIEST rock I'd ever heard......even though I was also a huge Zeppelin fan before hearing this. Definitely a Desert Island Disc!! LOVED your reaction!
Great choice, great reaction! I saw this line-up three times, including in August 1969 and July 1970. They laid waste to the competition each time. Zeppelin gets way more attention than it deserves in reaction videos compared to the almighty Who! Townshend was a song-writing genius as well. And yeah, that is "Sparks" in the medley section.
You were picturing Pete windmilling weren’t you Lee…😊 Thank you Joel and Lee. That last part of the song, you thought might be Sparks? Yeah, back in the day, my buddy was a pretty good drummer and I borrowed my older brothers electric guitar and we did that down in his parents basement once. We really got into it. At one point, to me, he became Keith Moon! He was killing it. He had that nervous energy that made him perfect for drums, and he was so happy that I could at least imitate Pete Townsend on guitar. It just felt so damn good! We must have been alright. It brought my buddy’s younger sister downstairs to check us out! She said we sounded really good. In a sense that was one of the best moments I’ve had. Thank you Who!
Keep in mind, today’s rock and roll has had the benefit of 60 years to define its musical vocabulary. Back here, there was no such vocabulary. The Who invented a lot of it. They were revolutionary much like the Beatles were for pop music.
Lee, The Who often improvised this track at the end of the set. To prove my point listen to My Generation at the following night`s show at Hull City Hall on 15th Feb `70. I dont mean on here of course but privately. The reason I suggest this is twofold first of all the nuances proving they dont play it note for note every night. Secondly you`re a drummer and Keith`s drums are higher in the mix than the Leeds set. It is to the slight detriment of the guitar and bass but being a drummer I thought you might enjoy Keith`s performance.
It's funny for most of the 70's this was a very highly regarded live album. Seems to have slipped below the horizon as time has gone by. Perhaps it is time for a new generation to discover the magic of this chunk of vinyl
Congradulations young man you have now stepped over to the other side, our side, where the visual is not on a screen but in your head. To be alive when all this music came out we had no idea how lucky our generation was. we do now!
@@nanlewis agreed. They play the whole thing in the video from the Isle of Wight festival in 70. czcams.com/video/CNtA2Au1u9g/video.htmlsi=_pOZ1oaGjU8INGDT
The Jam at the end was actually part of their song Naked Eye. I believe the only video of them doing Naked Eye live at Isle of Wight is on my channel. Those 3 chords are the meaning of life itself!
One of the best live jams EVER, by any band, they are off the hook yet totally in control, they truly were the Power & Glory of Rock in their prime. This still gives me goose bumps, 50+ years later. Do Magic Bus from the same album for more of the best. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶
In terms of pure entertainment value, The Who live are basically untouchable. There are sections of this where Pete's using an echoplex, which, if you listen to the James Gang live at Carnegie Hall you'll hear Joe using some of the same riffs. He actually credited Pete on the liner from the Third s album, so I'm sure they met up somewhere along the way. Awesome! 🤠👍👍👍👍👍
This was a kind of song cycle with elements of Tommy woven in. Just a few months after Woodstock when the Who were at their magisterial peak. Keith was outstanding here, awesome hand speed, his finest hour IMO. The rest of the band was merely amazing. Never be another Who
Keith Moon was the flashiest showiest of all the drummers in the 60's and 70's. He was a wild man off stage as well. You should look for videos that show him in action. Unfortunately, we lost him in 1978 at age 32.
Certainly Pete's crowning moment as a guitar player. So many great riffs that never became songs. And some of his best lead guitar work that he ever did. And obviously the rest of the band is amazing. Can't beat it.
I haven’t heard this since the cassette tape broke in my Datsun in 1984! Keith is really on fire on these tracks. I think some of this that follows My Generation is from Tommy
Bought the album when it came out. This is the best piece of rock music i've ever heard. Great reaction to great music. Thanks from the low country. Cheers 👊😁👍
If you watch this live on the "listening to you" The Who live 1970 this part where Pete is just quietly playing the guitar from about the 8 minute and 15 second part is when Keith has broken his left foot drum and they have to run out and make the repair and after they fix his drum is when the song takes back off again as soon as the drum is repaired but you really need to see it instead of hearing about it
I first heard this My Generation Medly back in high school, probably 1971 or 72. It was on cassette. I listened to this track a lot because of all of the places it went during it's 15ish minute run. I was also a HUGE fan of Shakin All Over. There is a drum fill in SAO by Keith that still blows me mind. It was perfection.
I saw the Who every time they came to NYC from their very first USA performance under the auspices of Murray the K (along with Cream's first in the USA) through to their performance of Tommy at Madison Square Garden. What no video or recording can ever capture is the sheer power of the wall of sound that those three instruments produced. It was overwhelming. Also, watching Pete from below his level (rather than a camera at his level or above) gave his onstage moves--the jumps, the windmills--almost a kind of bizarre majesty. They were at the Fillmore East the night Dr. King was assassinated and performed A Quick One--when they got to the line "You are forgiven", Pete aimed his guitar at the audience, like a machine gun as he sang the line again and again, and somehow it became an engine of forgiveness.
Saw Pete & Roger live last night at Royal Albert Hall..miracle they can still hit so hard at age 80/78…magnificent, majestic performance from greatest live band of all 💥
The WHO recorded EVERY DATE on this short tour and ended up with about 100+ hours to choose from. He assigned their tour manager to sort through for the best to put on the album. He handed Pete a list ten pages long and they started listening and after a while Pete stopped the whole thing and said “Fuck it- let’s go to Hull and Leeds and take what we get”. Pridden(?) asked what Pete wanted to do with the other reels… “Pile ‘em up and burn ‘em all” Pete later regretted that decision.
Just a comment from my Thoughts living in 1970… Every Bands …and they were so many… Just Competing to offer the best Performance possible… I know! I listened to every album that was released then… boy how we were spoiled with unearthly music coming from every side … without any drugs… (my teenage days )
That guitar tone Pete got through the Highwatt setup is fantastic. Wow! I never heard this whole album, but I'll have to listen to it now. It may just be the best hard rocking album along with Ted Nugent Live Gonzo, and Aerosmith's Rocks album. Lee, you definitely need to hear those albums at some point!
One of my all-time favorites, just incredible. When I discovered Live At Leeds in 8th grade I couldn't get enough of it, this was always my favorite from it. I think you've seen them do 'Young Man Blues' at Isle of Wight. The Leeds version is a little bit better musically (to me) but you don't get to watch them, which adds to it so much with The Who. You can't help but feel the energy just listening, but when you watch them live back then it really hits you. They were amazing.
I was 15 when this album came out, and this cut was played repeatedly on our then-new freeform FM rock stations. It was incredible to hear. But then they just stopped playing it, probably because more tightly programmed formats took over and longer cuts no longer got airtime. Yes, radio has been in decline for over 50 years!
Hoping someone agrees with me here but watching (and listening to) the video of “Young Man Blues” from the 1970 Isle of Wight festival will certainly blow your mind. It’s on par with the “…… Leeds” version (in my opinion ‘better’ than the Leeds version). But if you do the Isle of Wight version you’ll get to “watch” as well as listen and the visuals are stunning, playing to over 200,000 fans they really feed off the energy of the crowd. The Who-the power of VOLUME!!! ✊✌️
I happened to be at this concert at Leeds. I have seen the Who 46 times and if you watch them live Pete and Keith feed of each other. It usually is the Drummer and Bass player that feed of each other. I don't know about y'all but in my opinion Keith plays his drums like a LEAD GUITAR!!!! For real think about.
Great song, great band! Next, check out "A Quick One, While He's Away." It is a 1966 song in six movements written by Pete Townshend and recorded by the Who for their second album A Quick One. The live version is awesome too. Be prepared, it’s very unique. ✌️
Love this version. They segue into material from their rock opera Tommy. This is the best live recording bar none, in my opinion. I especially love the version of ‘Young Man Blues’ that is on this album. Thanks for your great channel. Cheers!!
This "My Generation medley" was an on/off feature of Who gigs from 1969 to 1981. It didn't always have the Tommy excerpts, but (a bit like Dazed and Confused) it served as a skeleton on which to hang the current crop of spare riffs and works-in-progress. In '68 there was at least one infamous version where they kept it going for half an hour (and only succeeded in showing Pete's limitations as a soloist). For what it's worth, this one is edited in spots - the full length version is here czcams.com/video/h9r_AOTNJFg/video.html
If memory serves, I bought this, ELP's Tarkus and Poco's Deliverin' on the same high school haul. For live, hard to beat. Genesis' "Seconds Out" and ELP's "Welcome Back My Friends..." are among the rare exceptions, I would peradventure.
"Live at Leeds" is arguably one of the best live albums in rock history.
I would leave the “arguably one of” out of your sentence.h
No, not one of the best. Simply the best.
It’s my favorite.. got the deluxe version on vinyl. The whole entire show they were just ON FIRE!! 🔥
A major standout during a period that was a golden age for live Rock albums.
The Only Live Album That Comes Anywhere near Live At Leeds Is Thin Lizzy's Live And Dangerous..
Unreal how much noise 3 instruments and vocals can make. The Who were unmatched in their prime.
Come on guys let’s give it up for Lee! Best Who Live at Leeds reaction ever. He quotes: This is Rock & Roll heaven, what else could you want’
Another blast from this show is Young Man Blues
Yep, awesom.
One of my favorites. 💪👊😁
Magic Bus is just awesome as well.
This was the Who at their peak. Awesome concert.
Proto-punk in 1965, and still proto-punk in 1970. This was pretty much how The Who performed "My Generation" from the late 60's up til the mid 70's. It starts with "My Generation", but then weaves in sections of 'Tommy', some themes intended for the 'Lifehouse' project, and even a bit of what would eventually become the song "The Naked Eye". It was intended to be completely open ended, where Pete was allowed to play whatever came to him. But The Who were *so* mentally in sync by 1970 that no matter how long this went on they rarely went off the rails.
Well said.
RIP John Entwhistle
This jam included themes from ‘Tommy’ and the song “Naked Eye”.
The Coming Out to Get You improv jam is based on the Tommy outtake Trying to Get Through and the Blues standard Goin' Down.
I remember the Rolling Stone review saying the last moments of this jam “sounds like a zoo burning down”.
I played on the same stage at Leeds some seven years after this magic gig, suffice to say we didn't play as well and didn't go down as well, that's all I'm sayin'...
When Live at Leeds came out, it blew all of us High School kids away! It was a changing point in music for so many of us!!
Hoping you do Quadropeinia , especially "The Real Me" (for the bass, the bass, the bass!)
Yes!!! Get it Lee, you won’t regret it. I think it’s their best work overall
I agree! @@brianjerlow681 But it has to be done a side at a time, not just a song here or there, imho to get the real impact of the story and the music
im 67 and have been a who fanfor 55 years..when i die i want nothing but who music played at my funeral lol they are the best rock group ever...and by far the best live band ...prove me wrong.
3 greatest drummers of all time. John Bonham, Keith Moon, Ginger Baker.
Don't forget Mitch Mitchell
I would include Bill Ward from Black Sabbath.

FINALLY!!! Someone has reacted to one of the most EPIC live songs ever! Not sure why it's missed by so many. An amazing live band at their best.
The clarity of each instrument is unbelievable especially as it’s live.

@@docnflossie7351 Awesome. My first three were 69, 70, and 71, and then a string afterwards that started in 79 and now keeps on going.

I saw The Who in concert in 1970 in Kansas City, 5 months after this recording. They are my favorite live band.

That's songs from Tommy after My Generation then more unrelated songs. You're going along for the ride on this medley.😂

The best of times ❤🎉❤

WoodStock was 1969.I was blessed to be there also.
Keith Moon was such a roller,lol.The energy he put into the drums was amazing.
Entwistle was a beast on bass.

Young Man Blues is one of the greatest live recordings ever! My Generation is FIRE also! Live at Leeds is my top live album of all time…
The Who was such a raw jamming band….so real.
The most outstanding 14 minutes of live music ever recorded
The best liive album ever
I first heard this My Generation Medly back in high school, probably 1971 or 72. It was on cassette. I listened to this track a lot because of all of the places it went during it's 15ish minute run.
I was also a HUGE fan of Shakin All Over. There is a drum fill in SAO by Keith that still blows me mind. It was perfection.
The Who. Unsurpassed. A force of nature unlike any other band, ever.
I saw the Who every time they came to NYC from their very first USA performance under the auspices of Murray the K (along with Cream's first in the USA) through to their performance of Tommy at Madison Square Garden. What no video or recording can ever capture is the sheer power of the wall of sound that those three instruments produced. It was overwhelming.

Pete was a genius composer of modern music and still is.Roger was such a great frontman too his singing was powerful.
Forgot to add in my previous comment - one of the top 10 greatest live performances of all time. Hands down, the Who kicked ass every time. :)
Saw Pete & Roger live last night at Royal Albert Hall..miracle they can still hit so hard at age 80/78…magnificent, majestic performance from greatest live band of all 💥
They doubled the length, they doubled the power and they doubled the energy and they were off the wall killing it on this version
Metallic is the only way to describe this album. This truly was heavy metal.
Explosive tight musical performance… nothing betters it… ❤
Like the whole album!
The version of I Cant Explain on Live at Leeds is killer. Keiths drums are the epitome of his talent.
It's like every one of them individually is the best in the world at what they're doing to be able to create so much power & energy
This is just a Tommy jam session Lee. Brilliant
Not only hard and beautifull...wild also.
This is why I love this version of "My Generation" so much more than the original that sounded like a combination of the Beach Boys and the Beatles
The WHO recorded EVERY DATE on this short tour and ended up with about 100+ hours to choose from. He assigned their tour manager to sort through for the best to put on the album.

We use to do this version when I was in this band when I was in Jr. HIGH I played drums so yeah what fun
This recording gets my vote for best live album ever, got me? 'N this was just one song...say no more...
Just a comment from my Thoughts living in 1970… Every Bands …and they were so many… Just Competing to offer the best Performance possible… I know!

This is the Holy Grail of rock 'n' roll...
When I was in high school this was one of the required albums for house or bush parties. Everyone had a copy.
You should react to Tommy in its entirety. Mind blowing.
One of my all-time favorites, just incredible. When I discovered Live At Leeds in 8th grade I couldn't get enough of it, this was always my favorite from it. I think you've seen them do 'Young Man Blues' at Isle of Wight. The Leeds version is a little bit better musically (to me) but you don't get to watch them, which adds to it so much with The Who. You can't help but feel the energy just listening, but when you watch them live back then it really hits you. They were amazing.
hell yeah---wore this album out back in the day!!! and yeah, Keith's drumming is fantastic on this medley
Take a look at the Who live Toronto 1982, song EMINENCE FRONT.
I was 15 when this album came out, and this cut was played repeatedly on our then-new freeform FM rock stations. It was incredible to hear. But then they just stopped playing it, probably because more tightly programmed formats took over and longer cuts no longer got airtime. Yes, radio has been in decline for over 50 years!

GREAT LIVE ALBUM ! ! ! Keith Moon is at his tops! Also Pete & John are at their PEAK ! ! !
...Newk from Kentucky
Great song, great band! Next, check out "A Quick One, While He's Away." It is a 1966 song in six movements written by Pete Townshend and recorded by the Who for their second album A Quick One. The live version is awesome too. Be prepared, it’s very unique. ✌️
It can be said this song shows the beginnings of progressive rock AND punk rock….
Dude. I havent been young for a good bit. Good to see my generation lives on.
Rock the fuck on bro
Love this version. They segue into material from their rock opera Tommy. This is the best live recording bar none, in my opinion. I especially love the version of ‘Young Man Blues’ that is on this album. Thanks for your great channel. Cheers!!
"Live at Leeds" is in my collection, to stay.
With My Generation playing and the song See me,feel me.
Great live performance although the Woodstock performance of Listening to You and See Me Feel Me is outstanding.
This "My Generation medley" was an on/off feature of Who gigs from 1969 to 1981. It didn't always have the Tommy excerpts, but (a bit like Dazed and Confused) it served as a skeleton on which to hang the current crop of spare riffs and works-in-progress.

You can hear the rudiments of later completed songs like "Naked Eye" in this extended jam.
Keith always goes crazy!!!
If memory serves, I bought this, ELP's Tarkus and Poco's Deliverin' on the same high school haul. For live, hard to beat. Genesis' "Seconds Out" and ELP's "Welcome Back My Friends..." are among the rare exceptions, I would peradventure.
I bought the album of this great concert in 1970.
It's a "me too " here.💪👊😁
The Who always are fantastic🤘
Had this 8-track in the early 80's. Yes you heard a little bit of "Sparks" in there. 👍🏻 A lot of great riffs in there!
