I Am is a collaboration concept album by Pete Townshend and friends pressed in 1972. The album includes the original version of "Baba O'Riley" played by Townshend alone without lyrics, which, at 9:48, is almost twice as long as the augmented version which opens Who's Next. I Am was produced as a tribute to Meher Baba. Other albums by Townshend and friends dedicated to Meher Baba include Happy Birthday, With Love, and Avatar.
