Zack Anybody know if this the same place the Who album was made at, or has the uni built a new student union/auditorium in the last 36 years?

Hannalee Live at Leeds: how the Who will recreate a legend

The Guardian


It was one of those occasions that if you had been there you could tell the grandchildren about and they really would be impressed - a concert in a dull university refectory that produced arguably the best ever live rock album.
Yesterday the Who officially announced they are going to do it all over again. Live at Leeds was released in 1970 after a barnstorming three-hour concert by the band on Valentine's Day. They played 33 songs, including most of the rock opera Tommy, and several hundred students who could not get in climbed on to the roof. On June 17 the two surviving members of the band, Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend, will begin the Who's world tour - including stadiums and festivals - at the 2,000-capacity refectory, cementing the venue's place in rock and roll history.


One of the men behind the concert, the broadcaster Andy Kershaw, was student entertainments secretary at Leeds in the early 80s, and he explained how next week's concert came about. Invited back last year to receive an honorary degree, he was told of plans to put a blue plaque outside the refectory. A chance meeting with the Who's manager, Bill Curbishley, led to Kershaw angling for the plaque to be unveiled by Daltrey and Townshend.
"I said 'while they're up there ...' and I never finished my sentence. He said, yeah, they'll do it.

"It was a benchmark concert, it defined an era of big bands like the Who playing college venues."

Kershaw said he had spoken to Daltrey about the Leeds concert recently. "He has got very, very vivid memories of the original one and he is really excited about coming back to do it again. If they weren't excited about this it wouldn't be happening."

The concert was important in many ways. Q magazine recently hailed the resulting recording as the greatest live album. A bare-chested Daltrey belted out the vocals while Townshend electrified the audience with his Rickenbacker guitar playing - not forgetting one of the greatest drummers in Keith Moon and one of the greatest bassists in John Entwistle, both now dead.

As was the fashion, some of the audience brought cushions to sit on and a piece of string was optimistically trailed in front of the stage to keep band and audience apart.

When the band were sent their £1,000 fee for playing in 1970, they forgot or did not bother to cash the cheque; it was paid again when they returned in the following November.

The refectory became the most celebrated university music venue and played host to legends including Bob Marley and the Wailers, Queen, Santana, the Stranglers and the Smiths.

The concert will be recorded and there are hopes of a 2006 Live at Leeds album.

The Who are to release their first single for nearly 25 years next month - an 11-minute rock opera called Wire & Glass - and the album follows in October.

In true 1970 fashion, the tickets will be sold on a first come, first served basis at the university's student union next Friday from 9am. They will not, though, cost 11s 6d (57.5p): this year's price is £37.50.
