The Who recreated their legendary 1970 Leeds University show in style on Saturday night.
The aging rockers returned to The Refectory, where they recorded their classic album "Live At Leeds" 36 years ago, to launch their new world tour.
The surviving band members - guitarist Pete Townsend and lead singer Roger Daltrey - recruited Pete's younger brother Steve and former Beatle Ringo Starr's son Zac Starkey for the blistering performance.
The 2000-strong audience were treated to a set featuring a host of classic songs, including "Substitute" and "I Can't Explain," excerpts from the musical "Tommy" and an encore of "Won't Get Fooled Again."
Townsend told the crowd, "We had just finished an eight-week tour of the US in 1970. We were young and fit. Today we are straight out of rehearsal. We will make mistakes, we will be clunky. I will probably lose a fingernail. But it's great to be back."
He later joked about the heat inside the venue, saying, "These are heart attack conditions. And I'm not the **** who's going to die, it's one of you poor sods."
Earlier in the day, the group had unveiled a plaque at the university commemorating The Refectory's role as a live-rock venue.
The event was the brainchild of broadcaster Andy Kershaw, a former entertainment secretary at the education institution.
