My favorite album is by the Who, and is called Live at Leeds. Like the name implies it is a live album that was made 1n 1970 at Leeds University in England. The Who also happens to be my favorite band, but this album stands out the most out of all their works. The album covers many of their songs from earlier studio albums except preformed live. While the studio albums are very good you just can’t beat a live album. Live performances have the advantage of sounding real, and all errors and changes are included in the song. This adds emotion, and a sense of realism to the music. Also in the case of live at Leeds the whole concert was taped and the album included no cuts, and all the dialog from the band making the listener feel like he is really at the concert. When I hear the album I can literally feel the music and become one with the rhythm. The album is all classic rock, which is my favorite type of music to listen to. In my opinion the older rock and roll songs are better than newer music. The reason I think this is because the older style of rock has more emotion and has better music. The reason I like the Who’s music best is because their lyrics are very good, and their music is better than any other. Their drum styles are the best ever, and their guitar riffs are legendary. The Live at Leeds album shows all of these qualities making it a great live album.
When listening to the album I can’t help but feel emotional feedback from the music. I can’t help but to imagine being there and watching the concert. While listing to most albums you don’t feel this way, but in the case of Live at Leeds you can’t help but feel this way. This album is completely unlike anything I have ever herd before. The feeling you get is not like anything else in the world. When I am feeling down, or worried, or really stressed I like to listen to Live at Leeds and it helps me to make it through the hard times.
