L@L in Rolling Stone

[john.p.donnelly.1@nd.edu (Sean Donnelly)]

Don't blink as you leaf through the latest issue Rolling Stone (Eddie Van
Halen cover) or you're liable to miss the "Live at Leeds" review. It's
buried in the "Replays" sidebar of the reviews section. While the reviewer
was enthusiastic about the disc, I was disappointed that Leeds didn't get
the courtesy of a full review.

Now I realize that Rolling Stone's focus is on new music (as it probably
should be), but given the previously unreleased tracks on the disc, the
influence that the Who has undoubtedly had on the newer groups, and the
fact that the issue's headline review is Bruce Springsteen's new 'Best of'
compilation (i.e., rereleased material as well), I think Live at Leeds
deserved more attention than it received.
