Another classic band and one of many personal favorites.Hard to pick but this is one of my favorite songs.It may be urban legend but I always heard it was true.

Remarkable stuff, the Who seemed to invent another type of rock almost single-handedly. Certainly their subjects were unique:

"From Soho down to Brighton, I must've played'em all"

Good one, rdy!

They all certainly had the flare and were always great live when I saw them.But I could have swore "Tommy" was based on an actual live individual?

Not sure about that, rdy, but what fine pieces of work -- both the "rock opera" and the Ken Russell movie.

Sorry, rdy, pretty sure Tommy was pure Townshend invention.

Get's my vote for the single greatest rock album ever made, though.

Live at Leeds really sets me off . I'll play music on the Fourth of July [ in USA it's a holiday ] , But once Live at Leeds gets blasted thru the stereo and outdoor speakers , all bets are off .

I've got a boot of the Leeds show that the album was lifted from. Tommy is performed in it's entirety.

Killer show. That whole '69 tour smoked. Leeds was their homecoming show, I think.

My favorite four piece (even when there's more than four of 'em) of all time, hands down. Seen 'em plenty, even for living in the midwest. No, I wasn't at the tragic Ohio show. Did see them once on the last tour just after Ox died, though, and Pete played the best I'd ever seen him.

DAMN I LOVE THIS BAND.

Yeah , I seen 'em two years ago with John Bonhams son on drums and Pino Paladino on Bass , with Townsend's brother as a back-up guitarist at MSG . It was should I say , Fckin Great . They truly are a large arena band and such consumate performers .

Way cool rdy! I remember the concert they had in Cincinnati in the late 70's or early 80's, seems there was a stampede and several people were killed!

I always liked this song, they knew how to rock the house!!

Under-rated and under-appreciated when they first arrived. Everything was Beatles and Stones where I lived. Gotta go with BoxMonkey, Live at Leeds was the most awesome album I owned.

Sheer energy that still out performs most of the junk out there today !

Not sure how you relate to this decade but, you show some fine taste in musical groups from the time when I was trying on my kool.

Thanks again rdy2rock..your name rocks truly !
