The Who On Tour

The news of the The Who going on tour came out a few days ago but for those who aren't aware here is your chance to see them. I sure know that I won't be passing up this opportunity to see one of the greatest bands of all time who put on a spectacular show. Townshend appears to be quite excited to tour America and had this to say "For the first time in 25 years we are returning to the USA with great live music -- the entire catalogue of our old stuff -- and new music," "We have a great new video show, a new Mini-Opera and plans to do some special shows with special themes. Our European shows are warming us up, and we will be in great form when we start the tour in September," said Pete Townshend. "I don't think I've ever looked forward to a tour as much as this one. Roger and I are both fit and well, ready to rock." Sounds like America is in for a great tour, only of Keith Moon and John Entwistle were still here.
