Talk:Live at Leeds

Length
I don't like the length being 36:24. The 1995 CD-reissue in particular, which was more than double the original vinyl length, hit the charts, a pretty rare event for just a "CD with bonus tracks". I think it should be included as being significantly different. Unfortunately I can't find my relevant copy of "British Hit Albums" to add a cite at the mo.

 * Thanks for letting me know that that exists! :-) If only one length were possible, I would think that the album itself would determine that.  But specifying the lengths for both would be even better.   North8000 (talk) 18:20, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

For some reason in the certifications it still says 3x platinum instead of 2x platinum. I think there is an error

Contentious information should be clarified
In the opening paragraph, "according to Charlesworth, instructed sound engineer Bob Pridden to burn the tapes.[4] Townshend later confirmed the tapes were indeed burnt in his back garden[7]" is belied by the 2013 re-release of Tommy (the Wikipedia article states "the package includes additional demos, and a live performance mostly taken from the Who's show at the Capital Theatre, Ottawa, Canada on 15 October 1969. The live disc was significant, as it debunked a long-standing myth that the tapes for the tour were burned in preference for the Leeds University show in February 1970 that made up Live at Leeds.[71]").

Appending something like "; however, at least one of the tapes was preserved because the 1969-10-15 show was released on a 2013 re-release of Tommy_(album)." would resolve the inconsistency. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chief Old Wrens (talk • contribs) 02:30, 1 April 2017 (UTC)


 * I tried for about 5 minutes to see if this was referenced at the other article and couldn't. The link (to a page in their web site) provided was a dead link and I couldn't even find the described 2013 re-release on their website. Maybe I just needed to look more.

 * so run the link through an archiver. Kellymoat (talk) 11:54, 1 April 2017 (UTC)

I think i may have squared the circle -- at Discogs, the live material is referenced in at least two listings as The Live Bootleg Album (https://www.discogs.com/Who-Tommy/release/5353702 and https://www.discogs.com/The-Who-Tommy/release/6914632). So the edit that is actually neded is to remove the sentence regarding debunking from the Tommy text, since Bootleg seems to indicate the source is not the officially-recorded tapes that Townshend confirms burning, and replace it with explanatory text regarding the bootleg source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chief Old Wrens (talk • contribs) 20:02, 2 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Make sure you are sourcing the sources they use. Discogs is a Wiki and can't be used as a source.Kellymoat (talk) 21:38, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
