Live: La Jolla Playhouse 2001 In June 2001 Pete Townshend performed two fundraising shows at the intimate La Jolla Playhouse in San Diego. The Playhouse was the same venue where the musical Tommy was first staged prior to moving on to Broadway. The shows raised around $300,000. Townshend performed solo and the small theatre atmosphere led to a 'Storytellers' type of show. The style of the show and the different set lists on both nights provided a unique dialogue. Music from the concerts was released on November 23, 2001, as two CD sets. [2]
