The Who have released the official video for “Won’t Get Fooled Again”, taken from their newly issued live album Live At Eden Project, available now through earMUSIC.
Few rock bands can match the influence and longevity of The Who, and the new release captures a significant performance from the band’s later years. Recorded during their July 2023 appearance at Cornwall’s Eden Project, Live At Eden Project documents a concert that paired the group’s classic material with orchestral arrangements performed alongside the Heart of England Philharmonic Orchestra.
The show featured founding members Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey, who delivered a set that combined the power of the band’s catalog with the added depth of a full orchestra. The unique setting of the Eden Project, known for its striking biomes and environmentally focused mission, provided an intimate atmosphere and acoustics that differed greatly from the arenas and stadiums where The Who have traditionally performed.
The recording captures that environment, allowing listeners to experience the connection between the band and audience in a venue with a smaller capacity than many of the group’s recent performances. The result is a live document that highlights both the scale of the orchestral arrangements and the details of the band’s performance.
The setlist draws from multiple eras of The Who‘s career. Alongside well-known songs such as “Baba O’Riley”, “Pinball Wizard”, and “Won’t Get Fooled Again”, the album also includes less frequently performed tracks including “Cry If You Want”, “Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere”, and “The Rock”.
Live At Eden Project is available in several formats, including a 2CD digipak, a limited three-LP gatefold edition pressed on recycled vinyl and packaged without plastic shrink wrap, a standard three-LP gatefold version, and digital editions.
For fans of The Who, the release offers a detailed snapshot of the band’s orchestral era, showcasing a performance that balances classic rock energy with the expanded dynamics of a full symphonic backing. The combination of the Eden Project’s distinctive setting, a carefully selected setlist, and the band’s veteran lineup makes Live At Eden Project a notable addition to The Who‘s extensive live catalog.
