The Lifehouse Method

Although the original project proved too ambitious for the technology available in 1971, Townshend revisited the Lifehouse concept in The Who's album Who Are You and in his radio play and recording Psychoderelict.

Who Are You

"Who Are You" was the first of the album's songs to have a live performance, its first dating to a concert from the band's 1976 tour at the Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, ON, albeit in a very raw and abbreviated version extremely different from the finished product.

Townshend actually stated in an interview that this was one of his least favourite songs to perform live (the other being "Dreaming from the Waist").

Who Are You, Polly Maggoo?

It stars Dorothy McGowan as supermodel Polly Maggoo being followed by a French television crew.
