Pete Townshend's Acoustic Performance of 'Won't Get Fooled Again' at Berklee

Venue: Berklee Performance Center Location: Boston, MA, United States Date: October 12, 2012

In October 2012, during his solo performance at the Berklee Performance Center, Pete Townshend delivered an acoustic rendition of "Won't Get Fooled Again," a classic song originally by The Who. By this point in his career, Townshend had released his fourth solo studio album, "Psychoderelict," in 1993, although he was primarily focused on The Who's reunion tours and projects. Notably, this live performance came after a significant hiatus from solo work, emphasizing his iconic status as a member of The Who while still showcasing his songwriting prowess. The acoustic arrangement reflects his ability to reinterpret his well-known work in a fresh way, highlighting his contributions to music beyond the band's legendary electric sound. Townshend's live performances are often marked by their intimacy and depth, further solidified by his extensive experience as a rock innovator and performer.
