Leeds revisited
BBC Radio 4 are broadcasting a programme tomorrow (Jan 18) about the Who's
famous gig, and album, recorded at Leeds University on Feb 14 1970.
Entitled 'For One Night Only' the BBC describes the programme thus:
'Valentine's Night, 1970. Leeds University Refectory. On stage - The Who.
Widely acknowledged as one of the best live rock albums, this concert marked
a turning point in the band's wild, guitar smashing career. From hereon,
they were a mainstream rock band.
Paul Gambaccini listens to the album and travels to Leeds to meet people who
were at this historic gig, both on stage and in the audience.
www.bbc.co.uk/radio4 '
The programme will be broadcast at 13.30 hours.
Pete was due to be interviewed for the show but was in NY when the interview
was scheduled. He was trying to do it in the BBC's NY studio but I'm not
sure yet if that happened.
Thanks to Ian Moorcroft for passing on the infomation.

| I've always wondered about the famous Leeds concert. I could see that maybe
there weren't any posters but has anyone ever seen a ticket?

| Never seen a ticket, but a lot of the gigs I went to at Leeds Uni the
tickets didnt have counterfoils on the tickets and took the whole thing off
you when you went in.

Apparently someone did as I'm listening to the new Live At Leeds BBC
special:

and they talk about getting tickets and the face value printed on the
tickets. Apparently there were only 2000 allowed in the hall so I would
imagine surviving tickets would be pretty scarce.
