Live at Leeds is considered by a good number of people to be the best recorded live rock performance. They were really stoked that year, having been on tour for the Tommy album since 1969. The Tanglewood concert from 1970 is available on Youtube. The video quality is not that great but the sound is good. I just saw the WHO May 15 in Cincinnati. It was a great show, albeit not quite as powerful as Leeds or other famous gigs they did. It is nice to see Pete and Roger still rockin' in their late 70s!
