Smash The Mirror


Venue: University Refectory, Leeds University, Leeds, UK, Saturday, February 14, 1970
Recording:  Outstanding Soundboard
Comments:  Some very minor distortion and dropouts. The Live Tommy At The
Leeds CD seems to be from the same source but was apparently mastered a bit
better. It's a real shame that even the remastered Live At Leeds was edited down
from this version. Young Man Blues, Shakin'All Over, My Generation and Magic Bus
are all edited. Who's great idea was this? Whoever was responsible for this could
use a course in "Rock 'n Roll, live,raw and unedited ! "The best sounding live album
ever recorded "just became the best sounding album ever to be recorded. The Who
have always interacted with their fans and audience and their wry wit comes through
here. Nice to hear Sally Simpson, which the band did not always perform. For all of
you wondering about Shakin' All Over w/ Spoonful, Spoonful is a song, not a guest
performer doing Shakin' All Over with the Who! There also appear to be two versions
of this particular CD. The second version is identical in every way to the first, (listed
here) but includes as the last track on the second disc a Who version of Time Is
Passing which is not listed on the back cover and ranges in sound from good to fair.

Please take a look at Luke Pacholski's page for an in-depth comparison of
this bootleg recording with the expanded, remixed and remastered Live At
Leeds. Quite interesting.

There's also an interesting write-up regarding Live At Leeds Complete on
Joe Giorgianni's page which is quite interesting and entertaining.
