When our civilization ends and we are buried under a thousands years of radioactive ash, I want only one thing to survive and be found by archeologists: this album.

One of their finest moments without a doubt, and the best performance of Magic Bus on record. Brilliant. And the drumming … Keith makes them sound like they're alive. I've been blown away by this for 42 years and counting …

What I especially love about this performance is Keith. For the first few minutes he clicks on the rims of he drums, and then, man... he goes berserk. And everything else is top notch. A legendary one.

This song still kicks ass all these years later. And this is one of the best live LPs ever...

FUCKING SMASHING! even after 46 yrs ,nothing tops this live album.

Incredible, a pure assault on the ears.The greatest live band and album of all time. This will never sound jaded.I came across this & had to take a listen yet again to an all time classic. Love Keith when he steams in....the engine of the band. Still sounds as fresh as it did when I aquired the LP in the early 70's.Listened to this a 1000 times and here's to the next 1000. Long live The Who. The greatest rock n'roll band in the world.

Magnificent live recording! The Who in all their glory!!!

First time I heard this album, in a friend's small bedroom on a thunderbass cranked all the way up. A lady a block away called the cops. I loved it then and now

i have been loving the Who for the past 47 years,i am 66 now,the passion continues!

I have seen The Who many times and even got to meet them at the McDonalds on Niagara Falls Blvd. and Maple/Brighton in Buffalo - right after Magic Bus was released. All of them are/were great guys. Got all of their autographs on the back of Polaroids. We miss you Keith and John.

If I had a time machine this concert would be one of the first of many stops

Nearly 45 years old but still blows me away everytime, especially from about 3.25 when Keith Moons drums explode into the song. Sadly, they don't make them like this any more.

First song i heard after smokin my first joint. Blew me away!! And dig this..... was hitch-hiking and was picked up by a couple of hippies in a v.w. van(magic bus?). Will NEVER forget that night.

The best recorded ROCK LIVE CONCERT ever.

I absolutely love this version of Magic bus, it's the best I've ever heard! I got the privilege of working security for a Who concert in Miami, Fl shortly before Keith Moon passed, it was quite an experience, it was easy to see why he was called "Moon the loon", it was something I'll remember for forever... There's only one word to describe seeing the original members of band play....Magnificent!

Far as I am concerned the greatest live recording of a song ever made. When they launch out, they go all the freaking way, baby and they go so far so very far, it's like they have a hard time bringing back down, but when they do....it's all over.

Loud through speakers or headphones, John's bass thump at the 1:25 minute mark is one the greatest sounds ever produced by mankind!

I saw them in Columbia, MD this year., 1970.... Still the best concert I've ever gone to...

Happy memories to have been there. Had seen the Stones , Ten Years After, Led Zeppelin , Cream etc but this concert really stood out even though I was not a Who fan at the time. Previous times I had seen them live they were more a pop band but here they showed they had really grown up.

I love the medley in this tune....and the sheer, raw rock and roll fire! It's transcendental. Ooops...that's "My Generation".

One of the great live rock concerts of its time and a great live recording. Townsend was on of the very best of his era in rock. And when you listen to a lot of his blues rock stuff you can tell he was listening to some of the great back r&b and blues guys though this piece is pretty much on the rock end.

Easily some of the the greatest live rock ever put on tape 🔥

Back In The Day, my old roomie and I had a slammin` stereo, with 4 Advent Large speakers, driven by a Phase Linear 700-watt amp. We used to put Live At Leeds on the turntable and crank the SHIT out of it. (The neighbors hated us :-)

Just turned 64,,,,,,,,, this song still gets my foot tapping and hips swaying while I’m bbqing! Didn’t we have dayummm good jams back then!

I got this LP when it first came out and it had all sorts of inserts in it,, a poster,, the Who's contract for Woodstock,, lyric sheet for My Generation,, etc,, and one slip of paper included just said " PLAY IT LOUD !!!!!!",, the first time I played it,, pictures were shaking on the wall and my mother came storming into my bedroom screaming " Turn It Down !!!!" lol

First time I heard this was at Camp Perry OH, 1970, an Army Capt. (with an OD 383 Roadrunner) learned I was a Who fan, yet hadn't heard Live at Leeds, he corrected that!

I'm now 40 years old when I was in HighSchool I was lucky enough to have caught TheWho when they did the Quadraphina tour back in 96-97 I was front row, Before that I only had heard there songs on the radio and listened to Who's Next on my dads record player, After the first time I saw them live it made me research them more, I was told that they considered The Live at Leeds album the greatest live album ever recorded so I went out and bought it and as a 19year old kid who appreciates his parents Rock and Roll I was pleasantly suprised. Keith Moon to me showed why he was going to be one of the all time great Rock and Roll drummers John Entwistle was in the grove, Loved the way Pete Townsend played off his own echo and Rogers vocals were spot on and It Gelled together. To me the two greatest live albums are Live at Leeds and Humble Pies Live from the Fillmore West when it comes to Classic Hard Rock and Roll

The best track from the best live rock album ever made in my opinion. I saw all the huge bands in the late 60s/early 70s ( Stones, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, etc, etc) and not one of them was a patch on the Who. They had a raw energy on stage - that plus their huge musical talent ensured they were the best by a country mile. How many bands would have given their right arms for a rhythm section of Moon and Entwistle?

Sitting in a Diner in STL, my 38 yr old daughter played a selection to surprise me. Had no idea this was her favourite Who song...tis mine as well.

The Bo Diddly beat is everywhere, cool. So many great songs came from it.

probably the best version of THE WHO's cover of this eddie cochran classic. THE WHO were at the peak of their powers here. phenomenal energy.

Incredible--the greatest live recording of any song ever........OHHHHHH THAT THUNDERRRRR

And I can be heard on it - "C'mon Bern" at the start as me and my mate headed down the front! The track was on 'box at The Eldon and we'd shouted for it! Great night, as far as I can recall!

Timeless music, even after all these years

It's a shame the music today can't hold a candle to ours...God bless Rock' Roll...

this is brutal, hits misses and all the glory. today we get people screeching into a computer and listen to the computer sing back to us. yesterday we paid our 5 bucks and listened to pioneers.

I love cruising down the high way and this tune blasting out ...have to watch the go pedal though..

Never goes stale, always cool.

6:30 for the heaviest rock riff ever laid down on vinyl....

One of the greatest of all time live recordings that was ever made. Hey, ya gotta remember, this was 1970. It might have been in late 69. The planet was still forming back then. And no one , and i mean no one, was doing this at that time. Deep Purple? not even close. Stones? no comparison. This was the first wall of sound that blew their hair pieces off. And it lifted a few skirts too.

This was really when they were really at the peak of their powers and when they really became the best live band in the world. Ironically, they said that this wasn't a great performance. They said the show at Hull a few days before was even better and they were going to release that as the live album, but something happened to the recordings and the tapes were ruined. Still, this was one helluva gig for them.

I looked up best live song of all time and this song came up!

best guitar tone ever! when im looking for it, i always come back to this.

can`t explain what this band has meant to me. transcendental

I first heard this track in 1969, my mates mother loved the who. I went straight to record shop and bought the album the who live at leeds this song shaped my whole life nobody does rock like these guys until we got pearl jam ,tx pete

Quick mood. Thank you. Memories: riding my bike aged 11 with my transistor and discovering great music. Your upload is so important to music lovers.

best live rock album recorded, short but what a strength

I was there. Entry was £1. My ears rang for 36 hours. Led Zeppelin starred a few weeks later. We Leeds U students were spoiled.

Greatest Rock band of all time........

1976, Day on the Green, Oakland California. The Who. BEST damn concert ever!! Band was amazing.

This was my first album , Still as incredible today as it was the first time I heard it. Long live rock and roll

probably the BEST LIVE ALBUM,EVER!!!

i blew my speakers to this cut...........''IT WAS FUCKING WORTH IT!!

best live performance by human beings..

Loved it still the best live album ever!!!

Back when there was music.

Great Upload Thank You

always played this before every interview i ever had to get me in the mood. Never let me down.

A great tribute to the "Bo Diddley Beat"!

awesome live performance of this classic who song, i have this live concert on cd. live at leeds in 1970 from the who classic timeless concert.

Awesome live version

About my favorite intro. Something about this version puts shivers down my spine. Dunno why. Perfect reverb, delay, feedback.

The most incredible musical geniuses to ever grace a stage. Their energy was amazing ! Their sound was amazing ! The way they meshed to form the most amazing rock band ever was beyond amazing ! Did I mention that they were amazing ? Can't get enough.

This is the greatest ever live band, at their best live - beyond the beyond...!xxx

One of my top five The Who recordings. Never gets old!

ridiculously great. channeling some weird bo diddley, psyche, punk garage blues... the weird call back riff at the end is even better than sister ray!

Best version of the song for me from one of the best Live Rock albums ever !

there once was a note pure and easy and its his bass on this i wish i could tell him this

my favorite version of this tune

Awesome ! And still one of the best live bands and magic concerts ...Live in Hidepark

God, i was hoping against all hope this would be footage of that!!! One of the greatest performances of ALL TIME!

Another one of my road trip getting sleepy wake up tunes. No way your adrenaline doesn't get a kick start from this. This is purr awesome.

The best live LP ever!!

its my lifes task to overlay this live audio track of the Who onto a video of them playing live its fricking AMAZING you dont get this talent anymore

Hear the clearly apparent "Bo Diddley" beat? Back from the 50's and used by so many groups and singers.................thanks Bo@!!!

I was at Leeds during the Golden Music period , studying Electronics etc...as an Engineer I was there , as part of the University stage crew and recieved my complimentary Live at Leeds LP on the Monday ....and still have it! It really does send a chill down my backbone when I hear this again and with the pictures of the " Refectory " stage etc....powerful memory Chemical/Electric shivers go up and down my spine....real flashback ....even to where I was standing exactly! I was also at a few other live gigs that became hits! The BEST being No Woman No Cry at the Lyceum ....Bob M ...and I swear I hear myself shouting Yeah....about 23 seconds in and on left hand channel..............

I had that vinyl album. ! There were scratch sounds which went with the beat of the music.There was also a warning "To be played at maximum volume."

My sister had bought Live at Leeds and I was going on a school holiday by train at Durban station in 1974 and as we approached the train a schoolmate looked at it and said "Too much the Magic Bus."Great music and memory.

gotta love *Leeds* thumbs up for the video

I love the acoustic studio version so much !

my favorite jam band greatest intro ever

I noticed there are 40 thumbs down here. I wonder who had the nerve to do the thumbs down. They know this is not today's Corporation, Cookie Cutter Rock and it certainly isn't Crap Rap. This is classic Rock. Back when music was music no matter if you listened to Rock, Soul, Country, it was FAR better than this trash passing for music today. Back when this was on the air, we determined what we liked and what we wanted to hear. Today, the corporations tell society what they want to hear,and what they will listen to. So those who give and gave a thumbs down I say thumbs down to you and leave.

Could it have been that long ago? What a great period of rock music.

The power in those chords, incredible. Sought this out because I needed a rock jolt. Live at Leeds.

THOSE WERE THE FUCKING DAYS!!!!!

Fantastic song....love the rhythm.....!!

My favorite live tune. Amaxing free-form guitar work by Townsend. Grest dinging. Driving and creative bass work. And of course the usual spectacular drum work by Moon. I think Moon was the greatest hard-rock drummer. I don't even notice the tune is 14 minutes. Incredible. The best.

One of the greatest live recordings ever

Great live ALbum!

It's a trip down memory lane. Entwistle is awesome.

The Who, the Stones, Zeppelin, many others, 60 year old rock 'n' roll fans won't change now. Like changing the colour of your blood after 45 years.

Great Thank you

Oh that bass!!!

**when you have a crush who likes 60s and 70s rock. You start your studying and then go to them so they can listen to the songs**

My old roomie and I used to blast this album through 2 sets of stacked Advent Large speakers, powered by a Phase Linear 700-watt amp....it was gloriously LOUD ! :-)

GOODFELLAS!!!!!!!!!!!! One of my fave songs in one of the greatest movies of all time.Had the privilege to see these guys a few years back.STILL GOT IT :)

Best Who album by far

this lp along with get yer ya yas out are two of my fave live albums

This is perfection in a song

Riding my bike age 10 with my transistor. Could not believe my ears. Age 15, high, at a party, I was able to release my joy at this brilliant song. (Dancing, don't worry, nothing freaky).
