Saw The Who at Manchester University Union in 1969. So loud that quite literally, if you were not in close proximity to other members of the audience, your sense of balance was compromised i.e it was hard to walk upright in a straight line! I got a small puncture in my left eardrum from the volume at that gig. In the subsequent 16 gigs, other than the opening of The Rainbow (Finsbury Park) , I never saw them play better. It was a few nights before the Live at Leeds Gig.
