So the SOTM got me back into The Who. I'm downloading Live at Leeds, and I used to own this but I have never heard the Deluxe Edition with the entirety of Tommy.
So I'm getting pretty excited for this

Fantastic album, but I have mixed feelings about it now because one time I got a speeding ticket while listening to Fortune Teller. I have trouble listening to it without thinking about that asshold cop
Maybe if I get the expanded version I'll love it again...

This might be the greatest live album of all time. In fact, it's my candidate for that.
It's definitely right up there.
The copy I have is the mid-90's reissue with the complete show except for Tommy (it only has Amazing Journey), and I have listened to that dozens of times. The solo in My Generation where Pete is playing off of the echo from the back of the hall is incredible. Pete is NOT a great technical guitarist, but man does he do the best with what he's got on this album.
BYW, I have the complete show from a bootleg, and it is the same source that was eventually released on the deluxe edition. I just get sick of Tommy after a while. But I don't get sick of Heaven and Hell or Tattoo or Summertime Blues.

Are you talking about the band "the Creation"? If so, the Who came out a couple years before them according to Wikipedia. I remember hearing them for the first time off the Rushmore soundtrack, apparently they were a one-hit wonder in '66. Sorry, but the Creation totally tried to jump on the English-rock bandwagon and failed.

Yeah the bootleg version was offered on STG a few years back. Then the official release came a year later. The bootleg version was mixed roughly and had analog static here and there. I also agree on the Tommy setlist night after night: Isle of Wight, Woodstock, Leeds, etc. Imagine hearing Avocado in its entirety every single night instead of hearing a random mix of other songs.
