Best rock album of All Time. I’ve worn out the vinyls and cassettes. Nowadays, it’s difficult to wear out downloads. I like this with headphones and the volume at about 11

There was a super-deluxe edition of Leeds sold a few years ago, where they included Live at Hull (which was recorded a few day after Leeds but the bass somehow didn't get recorded on all of the songs; they mixed it with the Leeds bass). Give it a whirl.

Yep. The Who were were on top of there game in 69/70, very tight. 1968 as well as evidenced by their legendary performance of A Quick One on the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus movie which was OFFICIALLY not released until 1996 except for the Who’s performance.

On Feb.15TH 1970 the day after the Leeds gig they played Hull City Center which was recorded as well. When the Who and Engineers went into the Studio to go through there live recordings for the new LP they found that John’s Bass track was missing from the Hull recording....bad patch cord....who knows. The Hull tapes were tossed into a box never to see the light of day. Leeds was a clean recording and the rest is history.....or was it?

Fast forward 40 years or so and someone finds the old Hull master tapes and for $hits and giggles plays them.....low and behold John’s Bass track is only missing from the first three tracks.

So getting back to my original point of how tight the band was playing at this time. The sound Engineers were able to drop in John’s Bass track for the first three songs from the Leeds gig in order to have a complete Hull gig which was release in 2012 as... wait for it......Live at Hull. Very powerful in itself.

You probably knew this but many others may not.
