For the first time, the complete collection of Pete Townshend’s recorded live shows has been compiled into one place. The whopping 14-CD set will cover a series of shows from 1985-2001, originally released through Townshend’s own Eel Pie publishing house. The albums in the set have been newly mastered by long-time Who engineer Jon Astley, and haven’t been available since 2000. The compilation will be released on July 26th, 2024, and is available for pre-order now.

The live records feature a mix of Townshend’s solo work and samples from his work with The Who. “Baba O’Riley,” “Teenage Wasteland,” and “Pinball Wizard” all appear alongside “Let My Love Open The Door,” “A Little Is Enough,” and “Slit Skirts” in a series of setlists that cover a wide-reaching discography. 

When it comes to releasing new music in 2024, Townshend recently spoke to the New York Times. I’ve got about 500 titles I might release online, mostly unfinished stuff,” he shared. “We’re not making Coca-Cola, where every can has to taste the same. And it’s turned out, surprise, surprise, that rock ’n’ roll is really good at dealing with the difficulties of aging. Watching Keith Richards onstage, trying to do what he used to do — it’s disturbing, heart-rending, but also delightful.
