Name the unidentified band, the venue and the date....

[XNASA]

And no cheating!! This is historical stuff we're dealing with here.

1. Live at Leeds?

[XNASA]

7. Yes indeed. It is a photo from the famous "Live at Leeds" show.

Funny. When I was a kid, I always thought it took place outdoors or in some huge auditorium.

As it turns out, the venue at Leeds only held about 1500.

Alright then. What's the date??

[flamingyouth]

19. Greatest live album ever, IMO

I bought this in 1980, when I was about 12 and I continue to be blown away every time I listen to it.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

2. The Who, Leeds Uni, early 70's (71?)

3. I have a pretty good idea Who the band is

in fact I'm certain, but how the hell am I supposed to figure out venue and date?

[Screaming Lord Byron]

5. Same way we did.

8. well

I was going to say leeds, 70 or 71 also,(especially since I still have my original copy on vinyl, first Who album I ever bought) but I thought that would be a little too much on the vague side and not count.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

9. Feb. 14, 1970

Is there anything Google can't do?

[XNASA]

11. Correct. Valentine's Day, 1970.

Released just 3 months later.

Thank you all for playing.

4. It LOOKS like Eddie Money at that place in Chicago when U2 was opening up

for them... on the north side, what WAS the name of that place? In 1981 / 82 of course.

Was it a palladium?

Good show.

[Emboldened Chimp]

6. I'm guessing Zepplin...

Don't know the year or venue...maybe '69?

[jpgray]

10. Zeppelin from that distance at that angle looks exactly like the Who

:D

Anyway, everyone else just looked at the 'properties' of the image. ;-)

[XNASA]

12. That would be cheating, to look.....

And I asked everyone, not to cheat.

Now, aren't you ashamed?

[jpgray]

14. Yes. I feel properly chastened.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

13. The what? What is this 'properties' of which you speak?

[XNASA]

15. As if.........

[legin]

25. OK right. Sorry Screaming Lord Byron :-)

i am a very part time computer helper/teacher for the unemployed, you rather got into my 'slot'.

[legin]

23. Right click on the image. At bottom. nt

16. Lies, I tell you Lies

Page never wore that white jumpsuit Townsend's got on in the pic & that he wore at Woodstock. That's the real giveaway.
& Entwhistle has more of a hulking presence than John Paul Jones also.

no need to look at properties

[jpgray]

20. Now we have to talk band wardrobe? :-)

Page had a very similar white suit, albeit not a jumpsuit, to Pete's. In the shot XNASA posted, you would have a very difficult time distinguishing the two.

21. Ha!!

that suit is way too fruity, not nearly as proletarian as Townsend's!
No way to confuse the two.
What's with all that stuff on the legs there.?
I can remember when I used to wear clothes like that.

[jpgray]

22. In XNASA's photo above, they'd look virtually the same (nt)

26. If I agree

how can I get in a flame war?
That's what I'm wondering.
So I must disagree
I will not listen to reason.

[jpgray]

27. But I also want a flame war, so if you agree with me I must flame you

Therefore the universe will inevitably collapse upon itself. Repent.

Seriously, you win the argument. :D I bow to your ability to discern Pete's blurry, distant jumpsuit. I could only tell it was the Who because of the drum kit and the inimitable look of Moon.

[southpaw]

28. Nice sig and avatar.

[bif]

17. Funny. I just bought the CD over the weekend and started a thread about it

n/t

[bbernardini]

18. I urge you all to get the recording of this show.

However, you might want to consider finding the "unofficial" version, as the sound is better, and it is unedited. (Yes, I know there's a "complete" release that updates the original. The "unofficial" version is still better.)

If you're clever, you should be able to find this recording without paying some jerkwad $70 for a two-CDR set. Many people out there will provide it for free, if you send them two blank discs and a return mailer.

[jpgray]

24. It's a great live disc, that's for sure. (nt)
