The single was successful, reaching number 9 on the British singles chart and number 17 on the US Billboard Hot 100. With the definitive title of "Join Together", the song was released as a non-album single in 1972, backed with a live and unedited version of Marvin Gaye's " Baby Don't You Do It", recorded at San Francisco's Civic Auditorium on 13 December 1971. I don't think Pete did much with those sequencing things that he couldn't have done on his guitar anyway.
I love the guitar to me it's the perfect rock instrument. I felt that, with a lot of songs, we'd end up spending so much time creating these piddly one-note noises that it would've been better just doing it on guitar.
But at the time I was still very doubtful about bringing in the synthesizer. I quite like it as a single, it's got a good energy to it. He literally wrote it the night before we recorded it. I remember when Pete came up with "Join Together". The band's lead singer, Roger Daltrey, remembers the song positively, but claims that he was initially skeptical about using synthesizer. The song was recorded on the same day as "Relay" (its follow-up single) and a demo of " Long Live Rock" in May 1972. Following the abandoning of Lifehouse, "Join Together", as well as other songs initially intended to appear on the album, was used in the working track list of another canceled Who album, Rock Is Dead-Long Live Rock!. "Join Together", under the working title of "Join Together With the Band", was originally intended to be released as part of the Lifehouse album, but upon the album's shelving, the song was temporarily abandoned. "Join Together" is also notable for its roots in The Who's abandoned Lifehouse album, a quality shared by another of The Who's 1972 singles, " Relay". The song has since been performed live multiple times and has appeared on numerous compilation albums. " Join Together" is a song by British rock band the Who, first released as a non-album single in June 1972.
