The one hundred ninety-third album: #193 The Who - Live at Leeds
As an intentional counter point to Tommy, Live at Leeds is an unthemed collection of songs from a live performance. The sound is, for the most part, still the same - hard rock songs - with the psychedelia obviously dialled back in favour of a sound that can be done - and would work better - on stage. It culminates in a 15 minute jam around My Generation,including parts of Tommy and songs on other albums. It's a glorious hard rock celebration, dropping the messages and stories in favour of just playing music. As a counter point to the rock opera albums, this hits a different spot, and it's impressive that both sides work - a testament to how good The Who was (and is?).
