Roger Daltrey will be bringing The Who’s overwhelmingly successful album Tommy to the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater at Encore Park on Thursday, September 15th. This will mark the first time this double album has been performed in it’s entirety. Tommy was originally released in 1968, and has since gone on to sell over 20 million copies worldwide. In 1998, the album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame for “historical, artistic and significant value.” Roger Daltrey recently performed “Pinball Wizard” on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and will be kicking off his tour on September 13th in Hollywood, Florida. Although Pete Townshend will not be along for the ride, he wishes his partner the best and states “he will be there in spirit”. It’s sure to be a night to remember.
