The Who to return to legendary venue
The band will be kicking off their UK tour
The Who are to return to the venue which spawned their classic 'Live At 
Leeds' album.

The band will be kicking off their UK tour at Leeds University on June 17, 
thirty six years after they played the legendary set which was released on 
the 1970 LP.

Though intended to be a secret show, the group's UK tour dates have been 
posted on guitarist Pete Townshend's official website.

After returning from America, playing Woodstock and amongst critical acclaim 
for their rock-musical 'Tommy', The Who turned-up to play a gig at Leeds 
University in 1970, which was captured on tape and went on to become a 
multi-million selling record.

Speaking recently about the seminal show, singer Roger Daltrey said: "The 
students there were a great audience for us it was packed to the rafters, 
and then some more. I heard there was a thousand fans on the roof!"
