Join Together is a box set of live material released from The Who's 1989 25th Anniversary Tour. Several of the tracks were recorded at Radio City Music Hall, New York, and at Universal Amphitheater, Los Angeles, with the rest from various other concerts during the tour. The live rendition of Tommy was compiled from two charity shows on 27 June at New York City's Radio City Music Hall(*) and on 24 August at the Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles(**) (see marked in the track list below). Songs from the second part of the album originated from 6 concerts (verified by comparison with audience recordings from the tour): A Little Is Enough and Won't Get Fooled Again come from Pontiac, MI, 25 July; Eminence Front and 5.15 - Raleigh, NC, 27 July; Rough Boys - Tampa, FL, 29 July; Trick of the Light - Vancouver, BC, 19 August; Face the Face, Join Together and You Better You Bet come from the show on 22 August at Jack Murphy Stadium in San Diego; Dig, I Can See for Miles, Love Reign O'er Me and Behind Blue Eyes come from the show at the Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles on 24 August 1989.
