I saw The Who perform Quadrophenia in 1996, and then 2012 and 2013. Whe. They did The Rock in 2013 with accompanying video of historic events, it may have been the greatest live event of my life...bordering on a religious experience.

I know many people consider Robert Plant to be the Golden God, but for my money Daltrey was THE frontman out of the British rock scene of the 1960s/1970s. His vox on Live at Leeds is legendary. The mic twirling is bitchin'.

And he STILL has attitude...he refused to sing the set closer in 2013 ("Tea and Theatre") until some drunk stopped yelling..Pete is playing the guitar and Roger simply says over and over again "I am not singing until you shut the f@*£ up and sit down."

Everything about that album is legendary. Although I think the Isle of Wight show was even better, especially "Young Man Blues".

I consider Live at Leeds the seminal punk album.
