• YOUNG MAN BLUES • SUBSTITUTE • SUMMERTIME BLUES • SHAKIN’ ALL OVER SIDE TWO • MY GENERATION • MAGIC BUS Produced by The Who and recorded on Valentines Day, 14 February 14 1970 at Leeds University, Live at Leeds was released in the UK in May 1970 on Track Records (2406 001), as a CD in the 1980s by Polydor (825 339-2) a Polydor remastered CD with additional tracks (527 169-2) in 1995, as a Deluxe Edition in 2001 (Polydor 112 618-2) and as a Super Deluxe Edition on it’s 40th birthday in 2010 (see BOX SETS). It was released simultaneously in the US on Decca (DL 79175), as a CD (MCA MCAD-37000, MFSL UDCD 755), as a remixed CD (MCA MCAD-11215 and a deluxe limited (and numbered) edition that included the paper inserts MCAD-11230) in 1995, and as a Deluxe Edition (E+CD MCA 088 112 618-2) in 2001. It was reissued on heavyweight vinyl in 2017 in a gatefold sleeve but without the loose inserts (although they were featured on the liner bag) with the original six tracks remastered.

Live at Leeds was designed to emphasise The Who as a rock band as opposed to opera singers and its packaging was also an antidote to the splendour of Tommy: a plain buff sleeve roughly rubber-stamped with the bands name and designed to resemble a bootleg. Within could be found an envelope containing replicas of Who ephemera (photos, date sheets, contracts, lyrics) and a record on which there was a handwritten warning that crackles heard throughout were not the fault of your record player. The remastered 1995 CD amended the note to say the crackling noises had been corrected. Live at Leeds has undergone three upgrades since it was first released. The first incorporated eight extra songs from the concert, while the second featured the entire concert spread over two CDs, the non- Tommy songs on CD1 with Tommy occupying all of CD2. While some would have preferred to have had the concerts original running order left intact, that would have required ending the first disc somewhere in the middle of Tommy. This approach keeps the original reason for Live at Leeds in focus, with Tommy deliberately set aside. Qt Meta Object Compiler Installation.
