THE WHO IN CONCERT:
Rock ‘n’ roll gods The Who have always stood out from the pack with their wild onstage antics. Known for smashing guitars, swinging microphones around, jumping off amplifiers, and blowing up drum kits, the band has always represented the pinnacle of rebellious rock genius. Their larger-than-life performances are evenly matched by their huge sound, and classics like “My Generation”, “Pinball Wizard”, and “Won’t Get Fooled Again” are still played with thunderous force. For The Who Hits 50! Tour, the group is bringing their trademark monolithic grandeur and kinetic energy to stages around the world. Ticket buyers should be ready for an awe-inspiring stage show that lives up to the mythical status these legends so rightly deserve.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Formed in 1964 around Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, John Entwistle, and (later that year) Keith Moon, The Who have always been on the vanguard of music, art, and culture. With their first single “I Can’t Explain”, the band became a staple of English Mod culture. They also developed a penchant for onstage theatrics such as smashing guitars and destroying drum kits during their sets. The group took their high-concept performances to the next level in 1969 with the release of Tommy, known as the first “rock opera”. Their next album, 1971’s Who’s Next, further established the band with another batch of classic songs like “Won’t Get Fooled Again”, “Behind Blue Eyes”, and “Baba O’Reilly”. The continued to cement their status as rock gods throughout the decade, touring and releasing a steady string of hits. Throughout the '80s, '90s, and '00s The Who continued to deliver riveting live performances to stunned audiences around the world. Despite the passing of several members over the years, Daltrey and Townshend have soldiered on, delivering the critically acclaimed album The Endless Wire in 2006, their first album in 24 years.
This band is ageless....seen them at "Great Woods" twice..unforgettable!!!!! and the "Gahden".. THEY TOTALLY ROCKED IT....talk about reliving your youth!!!Can't wait for November again at the TDNorthGarden...bringing my 11 year old nephew to his first "rock" concert! Is it November yet ?
SAW THEM HERE DURING THE 2007/8 TOUR IN FT LAUDERDALE(SUNRISE) FL AT THE BAC!! WHAT A SHOW!! THE PLACE WAS PACKED AND SOLD OUT AS IT SHOULD B..THEY WERE UNFORGETTABLE!! AND NOW THERE COMING AGAIN HERE 1NOV2012...I CANT WAIT...DEFINATELY GOING....!!!I GO TO LOTS OF SHOWS, DONT MISS "THE WHO" ITS WORTH EVERY PENNY..
You know the place is full of fans. The Who shows are like that. You will see children, some as young as 5 or 6, to older folks (some of whom you pray are older than you). Most of them singing every word, and re-living their youth. The Who never disappoints. Pete Townsend is still one of the finest guitar players of all time. The energy that Roger Daltry brings to the stage is contagious. If you haven't gotten tickets to see their latest show which will feature ALL the songs from Quadrophenia, along with some other crowd favorites, I highly recommend you get one, even if you are in the cheap seats. It will be a show you will never forget.
Last time I saw them live was in cinci during the stampede. Hope there still as load as ever. Too bad the ox can't be with them.
SAW THIS TOUR IN 1996. IF YOU HAVE THE MONEY, BUY A TICKET! YOULL BE SORRY IF YOU DONT!!!
The are still the BEST live band. Its increible how fantastic they are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I loved every moment. Pete and Roger Daltrey took the entire stadium by the balls. Love reign o' me, pinball wizard, won't get full again...you named they gave us all !!!!!!
Being only 17 at the time I saw them, I never got to see Keith and John, but this show still ROCKED!! The Who is in my top 3 favorite band, if not my favorite. I LOVE these guys, and the show was AWESOME! Roger sounded great, and Pete till knows how to wail on the guitar! I would love to see them again! I hope it's soon!!
Didn't get the chance to see them years ago, finally did and they were so great, I went twice. An unforgettable experience, especially since we were only the 3rd Isle from the stage!
I had great time watching the 2 remaining members of The Who do their thing back in 2008. Although the crowd at the Mohegan Sun Casino could have been more energetic, Pete and Roger made the best of things and never just went through the motions. Pete still plays very loud and with passion as does Roger with his maximum R&B singing style. These guys in mid-60's still amaze me. I can't think of any young bands that can keep up with their energy. I do hope we have not seen the last of these guys. I know Pete has some hearing issues which he is trying to work out with a new doctor. I am keeping my fingers crossed; I hope to see them again.
