The Who - Sparks Live at Leeds

All I need to say about this version of "Sparks" is Live at Leeds and you'll know that this is a legendary performance. The concert was recorded 41 years ago today, February 14, 1970 and released as an album on May 16. Nicknamed the "brown bomber" for its simple album jacket, which resembles a bootleg, the CD was The Who's first live album. Gibson.com has an article here which looks back on the recording of Live at Leeds. For many this is the greatest live album ever and is part of the reason The Who are considered to be such a great live act.

Although one performance does not make or break someone in my opinion, The Who have had decades of great live showings on their resume. Live at Leeds is clearly one of those occasions that The Who were aobve and beyond everyone else.
