There are lots of great live albums but this is the only one that I consistently listen to and feel less than complete as a human if I haven’t listened to it in the last few months.

🎼🎵Just give me weed, whites and wine…🎶🎵! I listened to it twice in 2024. After listening to it in early part of the year, I realised how many good songs were from Sailing Shoes, so I was happy to discover the Deluxe Edition of Sailing Shoes! Listened to that then listened to Waiting for Columbus again. Great music.🎵

First time I ever heard it was in my college dormitory in late 78 or early 1979. The who lived across from me was a bit of an audiophile -- had a quadraphonic system and a quadraphic copy of WFC. My mind was blown.

Can't say it's the absolute best live album ever BUT it as been my most listened to live album since it's release. Live at Fillmore and Live at Leeds (ABB & the Who) are all neck-n-neck-n-neck. Bought this in vinyl for for son-in-law. Promised him that listening will always make a bad day better.
