Live at Leeds
Released
The definitive live document from the definitive rock ‘n’ roll band has been released in a dozen different forms over the years – from the original 40-minute LP to a four-hour box set. The 77-minute 90s issue presents the most palatable option (unless you really love the entirety of Tommy). The on-stage interpretations and ragged blues covers explain their guitar-smashing bad boy reputations much better than the sleek studio versions. By the time you reach the middle of the hypnotic 15-minute “My Generation,” you understand why boomers thought everything peaked here. At least until “Magic Bus.”
