The Who Live at Leeds Being Re-Released

The Who will be re-releasing Live at Leeds next month and it will include a concert the band performed the prior night at Hull City Hall. The band's performance at the University of Leeds in early 1970 is legendary and clearly a must for any classic rock fan. The original Leeds album includes blistering performances of "My Generation" and "Summertime Blues" and also one of their best renditions of, yep, you guessed it "Sparks."

The original tapes of the Hull concert which were once thought to have been lost were recently found. More on the album can be found here.

Hull was a better gig than Leeds. I remember it like it was yesterday, although in retrospect Live At Hull doesn’t really trip off the tongue!” - Roger Daltrey
