Back in 1971, the Who released the album "Who's Next." This originally was going to be a concept album / rock opera called "Lifehouse," but Townshend, the band's main songwriter, gave up on it and just released "Who's Next" as a typical studio album without an obvious concept. But he never gave up entirely on the Lifehouse idea, and made occasional attempts to finish it off.
His attempt to finish it probably culminated in 1999 and 2000. In 1999, a radio play for Lifehouse was done by the BBC, which lasted about two hours and included the original demos done in the early 1970s. Then, in 2000, Townshend released "The Lifehouse Chronicles," a six CD box set containing the radio play, all the original demos, and more. When he performed for Storytellers, he was promoting this box set. So all of the songs are from the Lifehouse project, including three that were on the "Who's Next" album ("Behind Blue Eyes," "Baba O'Riley," and "Won't Get Fooled Again").
As was typically the case for this show, only the end of the first song was included. But I was able to find another version of this song, "Let's See Action (Nothing Is Everything)," from the same year to fill in the missing portion.
This album is 49 minutes long.

I couldn't find a good photo from this exact concert. So instead I used a photo of Townshend that actually came from a concert by the Who in London in 2000.
Great! Thanks
