Live at Leeds vs. How The West Was Won

Classof75 · 09-20-2009, 08:12 AM

As much as I love Zeppelin, I will vote for Leeds. The performance was incredible, the recording quality could have been better, but it was such a great show that is not a big deal. My first concert was Zeppelin ('73 Buffalo, I was 16) and I still remember how exciting it was. I like their studio stuff better, although the dvd had some awesome live stuff on it, like Bonzo doing Moby ****.

I saw this coming.

Moby Dick and Dazed and Confused are all it takes to convince. How the West Was Won is one of the few Physical albums I own, and as much as I like LAL, Led Zeppelin come out on top in my opinion.

Live in Leeds will be replaced by Live in Hull, maybe has been already.

Seeing as this concert by the Who was just another one off and they gave a performance that is still being talked about to this day I'm going with Live At Leeds......The energy of this performance is hard to equal anywhere.

The Who Live at Leeds. It now includes their performance(s) of Tommy, which was the main purpose of the shows. The 'heavy rock' tracks are great, but I never get tired of hearing Tommy - live or in the studio. Most of The Who's live recordings are excellent, but I have not heard the later shows with the 'celebrities', such as Pearl Jam. Contrary to popular opinion, the BBC Proms show, even without Moon and Entwistle, was very good, mainly because of the energetic performances of the material from Tommy.

Can't say anything else than How The West Was Won. That album is a ****in' monster. The album that got me into Led Zeppelin... which by the way was the first band I was really into for real.
