About the Show

Who's Next started life as a Pete Townshend concept entitled Lifehouse, which contained enough songs for a double album, but the project was eventually reduced to a single LP. Recordings for the album began in New York with Kit Lambert as producer, but the band weren’t satisfied with the results and returned to London to re-record them at Olympic Studios in Barnes with Glyn Johns. Most of the songs recorded with Johns appeared on Who's Next while the leftovers appeared on singles and later, Odds & Sods.

Who's Next became the only Who album to make #1 in the UK charts. It peaked at #4 in the US, but songs from the album are continually played on US Classic Rock radio stations to this day.

All songs by Pete Townshend unless otherwise noted.
