What do you think? Real or fake?

looks too perfect to me. I think the sounds better on my laptop than it was on the LP. Of course I haven't listened to the album since maybe 1981.

Funny how this footage magically surfaces some 40 years after the fact! My opinion is that until some kind of corroborating evidence surfaces that this is in fact truly "Live at Leeds" then I'll have to say it's some kind of stock footage claiming that it is "Live at Leeds". Guess I'm just too much of a skeptic.

I say it's real. The audio matches, and the stage set up is consistent with photos of the preformance. Some of the segments featured in the video are from songs not released until the Live at Leeds Deluxe Edition became available about 5 years ago. The Deluxe Edition includes the entire performance.

The original vinyl LP was more noisy and crackly compared to the remastered versions that were cleaned up. Entwistle's instrument cable was the source of the crackling noise.
