And, I'm not a huge fan of The Who.
But, this album and Quadrophenia got me!
On one of my trips to Manchester, I took a few hours & drove to Leeds to look around. It was pretty much because of this album.

As soon as I saw "Leeds" in the subject title, I figured it had to be this!

No keyboards. No synthesizers. Just drums, base, guitar, vocals and the occasional harmonica.

To this day, still the best live band I have ever seen.

Even on their Hits 50 tour a few years back, when they had to bring on about 4 additional musicians to compensate for the sound John Entwistle used to create with just a base guitar, and Zak Starkey on drums, Pete and Roger showed what live music should be.
