THE WHO'S “TOMMY” IS COMING TO LOS ANGELES !!!

Roger Daltrey the lead singer of THE WHO announces a  six-week North American tour, performing the band’s iconic 1969 rock opera “Tommy,” album in its entirety, from start to finish, for the first time. Employing the use of striking visuals to accompany the music, every show is an unforgettable concert experience for lifelong fans and newcomers alike. Classic’s from the Who’s repertoire will be performed throughout the American tour.

The trek kicked off in Hollywood, FL last week (9/13) and will arrive at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on October 19.  

DALTREY is backed by a stellar band: SIMON TOWNSHEND, younger brother of The Who’s guitarist PETE TOWNSHEND on guitar and vocals, Frank Simes (guitar and also music director/arranger), Scott Deavours (drums), Jon Button (bass) and Loren Gold (keyboards).

Of the new “Tommy” tour, DALTREY told the Boston Globe’s Sarah Rodman, “I can appreciate it much more. I’ve got no battle to win, so I can enjoy it. It always felt like there was a battle to be won when we used to play it in the early days. And that was great because we had the strength and the youth and the testosterone to win it every night. But now I can relax into it, and the music’s better for it in a way. It’s different, but it’s better. 

He goes on to add,“I’ve never felt the narrative of ‘Tommy’ has ever been about one person.  For me, ‘Tommy’ has always been about all of us: you, me, and everyone else in the audience. It’s the spiritual journey that we all go through in life. The characters in it - Uncle Ernie and Cousin Kevin and the Acid Queen - they’re all part of the human condition, things that are thrown at us.
