  More than a little, I'd say...

  Jeez, doesn't this guy believe that even classic rockers get to move on in
  their lives?

  Agreed.  Nobody in the Who would have allowed that.  I can't even guess
  how they would have used tapes... to make PETE'S guitar LOUDER...?!
                           or how 'bout
  to give Entwistle's bass more PUNCH...?!   Give me a break!  The guy is a
  jerk!

  The Magic Bus segment was added afterwards in the studio.  The "boxes"
  referred to were not around when "Live At Leeds" was done.

  I feel their sound suffered with each additional musician they added.

  No question!
