Year & Country Issued/Label: 1996 - Japan - Midas

Comments: Wow! The complete "Live At Leeds" performance on an unedited soundboard! Unfortunately, the "crackling" noises present in the original "Leeds" range from very severe to non existent, depending on the track. The "Tommy" portion needs to be speed adjusted (+ ~2.5%) and in some sections, balance corrected (one channel gets louder than the other). Also note that there's a huge dropout on "I Can't Explain". Once corrected, the "Tommy" portion on this CD set actually sounds better than the version on the 2001 Live At Leeds Deluxe CD. However, in 2014, Live At Leeds was remixed and remastered again... and this time the best version ever. In fairness, this CD does have Spoonful (included as part of "Shakin' All Over") and all the original crackling noises, but that's not a must have of any kind...

Track Listing: Heaven And Hell, I Can't Explain, Fortune Teller, Tattoo, Young Man Blues, Substitute, Happy Jack, I'm A Boy, A Quick One While He's Away, Overture, 1921, Amazing Journey, Sparks, Eyesight to The Blind, Christmas, The Acid Queen, Pinball Wizard, Do You Think It's Alright, Fiddle About, Tommy Can You Hear Me?, There's A Doctor, Go To The Mirror!, Miracle Cure, Sally Simpson, I'm Free, Tommy's Holiday Camp, We're Not Going To Take It, Summertime Blues, Shakin' All Over, My Generation, Magic Bus

Comments: This CD contains some of the finest quality Who studio outtakes (see Who Studio Boots). However, the "Leeds" tracks are fair quality mono. Apparently, they were added to give some unedited "Leeds" filler, but now very obsolete after the release of "Live At Leeds Complete".

Track Listing: Studio Tracks: Pure And Easy, Won't Get Fooled Again, Love Ain't For Keeping, Behind Blue Eyes, Baby Don't Do It, Getting In Tune

Year & Country Issued/Label: 1979 - Australia - Tin Can

Comments: This is a great LP. It contains the best source for the "That Motherland Feeling/Rael" demo, however, the pitch needs to be adjusted to right in between 33 & 45 RPM. The "Disguises" and "Don't Look Away" demos are first quality as well. The other demos range from good to poor. Nothing all that special about the Who studio tracks, since all/most of them have been issued/improved via the remixed/remastered program. The 3 "Live At Leeds" tracks were very good for their time, but obsolete since the 1995 official "Leeds" reissue.

Comments: This is somewhat of an odd 2 CD set. Disc 1 is a bunch of soundboard recordings that are listed as Leeds, but I've only recognized a few as being from Leeds (and obviously they didn't play "Young Man Blues" 3 times at Leeds). The speed needs correcting on most/all of the tracks of disc 1. Disc 2, is a surprisingly good audience recording of Dallas, 06/19/70. Nice to have a live version of "The Seeker"...

Comments: The back cover of the CD says, "Tracks 1-12: Live recordings from the same tour as "Live At Leeds". Venues unknown. I would agree with that, except that "Substitute", "Happy Jack", "I'm A Boy" are actually poor sounding "Leeds" tracks and the track that's listed as "See Me, Feel Me/Overture" is actually part of the "Sparks" jam from the extended "My Generation" on "Leeds". The "unknown" (for the moment) tracks actually sound quite good, although as typical with many bootlegs, the left and right channels are reversed. The "Won't Get Fooled Again" and the two "false starts" that precede it don't seem to be anything different from the original mix of the studio version.

Comments: This is somewhat of an odd 2 CD set. Disc 1 is a bunch of soundboard recordings that are listed as Leeds, but I've only recognized a few as being from Leeds (and obviously they didn't play "Young Man Blues" 3 times at Leeds). The speed needs correcting on most/all of the tracks of disc 1. Disc 2, is a surprisingly good audience recording of Dallas, 06/19/70. Nice to have a live version of "The Seeker"...

Comments: This is an interesting CD... The "Lu Lu" tracks are OK. Clean, a little off-speed, but certainly enjoyable. The demos can be found on "The Tommy Demos", but...
