JOIN TOGETHER was a boxed album package of the 1989 reunion tour, designed as a memento of that tour. It features Pete, Roger and John augmented by many other musicians – two drummers, keyboards, an extra guitarist, brass section and choir – recorded live in America. The first half of the double album features a selection of Tommy songs, followed by Who hits in the second and, for the first time on record, a Pete solo song, ROUGH BOYS, performed by the band. There’s also a live rendition of I CAN SEE FOR MILES which the four-man Who found difficult to perform live originally because it required two guitars. Another first was Pete playing acoustic guitar on stage (ostensibly due to hearing problems) and some of his rhythmic chord work, especially on the early Tommy tunes, is first rate.
The album was dedicated to Keith Moon.
Recorded and mixed by Bob Clearmountain.
Produced by Bob Clearmountain, Billy Nicholls and Clive Franks.
