That there is little film in existence of The Who’s Live at Leeds show, which IMHO contains the greatest live rendition of an album (Tommy) ever done, rock-wise.
A great band at peak power, left (mostly) to the imagination.
The boys could play.

“Bells for Her.”
Lyrics:
And through the life force and there goes her friend
On her Nishiki it’s out of time
And through the portal they can make amendsHe would say whatever we’re blanket friends
Can’t stop what’s coming
Can’t stop what is on its wayAnd through the walls they made their mudpies
I’ve got your mind I said she said I’ve your voice
I said you don’t need my voice girl you have your own
But you never thought it was enough of
So they went years and years
Like sisters blanket girls
Always there through that and this
There’s nothing we cannot ever fix I said
[From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/t/tori-amos-lyrics/bells-for-her-lyrics.html ]Can’t stop what’s coming
Can’t stop what is on it’s way
Bells and footfalls and soliers and dolls
Brothers and lovers she and I were
Now she seems to be sand under his shoes
There’s nothing I can do
Can’t stop what’s coming
Can’t stop what is on it’s wayAnd now I speak to you are you in there
You have her face and her eyes
But you are not her
And we go at each other
Like blank ettes who can’t find
Their thread and their bareCan’t stop loving
Can’t stop what is on its way
And I see it coming and It’s on its way
The sound is bad in that one. Here’s a better version, acoustically.

Fun. My third concert ever, circa 1978. I’ll never disrespect him after that show.
A blast from your musically-closeted past.
Just admit it if you are of a certain age: You dug Neil. (As you should have.)
Seriously!
C’mon.
In my own defense, there were a lot of women in attendance as well, and several of the finest were with me (us).
No, really.

Until about ten seconds ago, for some reason I had always assumed Taylor Swift was a man.

How did The Who’s Leeds show not get captured and sold on video?
I’ve been searching for treadmill music, remembered this one, downloaded it, and still think it is the best live show ever captured on tape.
Complete with chatty and funny personal interaction, it is an awesome work of a really good band at the peak of their power.
