Released in 1969, “Tommy” is acclaimed as the first-ever rock opera. It went on to undergo numerous adaptations including Ken Russell’s film starring Daltrey himself in the role of the psychosomatically deaf, dumb and blind boy who becomes a master pinball player and the object of a religious cult. The Who, made up by Daltrey, Pete Townshend (songwriter ad composer), Keith Moon and John Entwistle is obviously no more and cannot be replicated, however Daltrey has put together an excellent band with Simon Townshend (Pete’s brother) on guitar, Scott Deavons on the drums, Frank Simes on guitar, Jon Button on bass and Loren Gold on keyboards. A video screen behind Roger Daltrey the band rolls with animated film to complement the story of “that deaf, dumb, blind kid.” The rock opera is just the first half of Daltrey's show who then goes on to present a selection of The Who's greatest hits and some rarely performed tracks.

  • "The Who Sings My Generation" (Album)
    “The Who Sings My Generation”—The Who (1966) Added to the National Registry: 2008 Essay by Cary O’Dell Original album Original label The Who Founded in England in 1964, Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon are, collectively, better known as The Who. As a group on the pop-rock landscape, it’s been said that The Who occupy a rebel ground somewhere between the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, while, at the same time, proving to be innovative, iconoclastic and progressive all on their own. We can thank them for various now- standard rock affectations: the heightened level of decadence in rock (smashed guitars and exploding drum kits, among other now almost clichéd antics); making greater use of synthesizers in popular music; taking American R&B into a decidedly punk direction; and even formulating the idea of the once oxymoronic sounding “rock opera.” Almost all these elements are evident on The Who’s debut album, 1966’s “The Who Sings My Generation.” Though the band—back when they were known as The High Numbers—had a minor English hit in 1964 with the singles “I’m the Face”/”Zoot Suit,” it wouldn’t be until ’66 and the release of “My Generation” that the world got a true what’s what from The Who. “Generation,” steam- powered by its title tune and timeless lyric of “I hope I die before I get old,” “Generation” is a song cycle worthy of its inclusive name. Twelve tracks make up the album: “I Don’t Mind,” “The Good’s Gone,” “La-La-La Lies,” “Much Too Much,” “My Generation,” “The Kids Are Alright,” “Please, Please, Please,” “It’s Not True,” “The Ox,” “A Legal Matter” and “Instant Party.” Allmusic.com summarizes the album appropriately: An explosive debut, and the hardest mod pop recorded by anyone.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: Lauren Jahoda v.845.583.2193 Photos & Interviews may be available upon request [email protected] ROGER DALTREY TO PERFORM THE WHO’S TOMMY WITH MEMBERS OF THE WHO BAND & THE HUDSON VALLEY PHILHARMONIC AT BETHEL WOODS ON FRIDAY, JUNE 8 Tickets On-Sale February 2 at 10am BETHEL, NY (January 29, 2018) – Legendary Who frontman and Woodstock ’69 alum Roger Daltrey will be performing the band’s most iconic masterpiece this summer, the groundbreaking TOMMY, on a special 10 city solo tour featuring full orchestral backing. The tour will open in Bethel, NY on Friday, June 8th at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, where Daltrey and his band will be joined on stage by the acclaimed Hudson Valley Philharmonic, showcasing the beloved classics from the 1969 rock opera, including “Pinball Wizard,” “See Me, Feel Me” and more. Tickets go on-sale Friday, February 2 at 10 a.m. at www.BethelWoodsCenter.org, The Bethel Woods Box Office, www.Ticketmaster.com, Ticketmaster outlets, or by phone at 1.800.745.3000. Considered one of the seminal albums of the rock canon, last year The Who played all of TOMMY for the first time in 28 years at the Royal Albert Hall in London as part of a benefit concert for the Teenage Cancer Trust. Roger performed it in its entirety with his band during his 2011 solo tour. The opportunity to bring an orchestral dynamic to the raw emotion and cathartic impact of the songs that cemented Daltrey’s legacy as a vocal powerhouse adds a compelling dimension to the music’s timelessness.

  • 'Tommy,' New Insights Into Pete Townshend
    What about the boy? In 'Tommy,' new insights into Pete Townshend Chris Jones CHICAGO TRIBUNE cjon es5​@chicagotribune.com JANUARY 22, 2015, 6:00 AM hen, in 1975, the movie director Ken Russell turned "Tommy," an album by The Who, into a film, W catapulting the Pinball Wizard to further glory, he made one particularly notable change: He switched the period of the rock opera from the years following World War I to the years following World War II. This necessitated changing the title of one of Pete Townshend's rock numbers ("1921" became "1951"), but the benefit was not just a more contemporary milieu (back in '75, at least) but a period that more closely charted Townshend's own life. That change was continued when "Tommy" became a Broadway musical in 1993, directed by Des McAnuff. (The stage version of "Tommy" has played the Chicago area many times over the years, including productions by the Circle Theatre and now-defunct White Horse Theatre, as well as a memorable stint for McAnuff's road show at the Auditorium Theatre in 1999.) The stage musical, adapted from what always has been a very loose plot, is set in the years after World War II, suggesting that the conflict ripped families and marriages apart. In the case of "Tommy," we see a husband and father shot down by the enemy. His wife thinks he is dead and takes another lover. When her husband returns, he violently confronts the lover, which is what sets his little boy, Tommy, off on his trajectory. Told that he saw, heard and felt nothing, he takes those instructions to heart.

Je premakljiv praznik, od datuma velike noči so odvisni tudi datumi nekaterih drugih cerkvenih praznikov in pust. Določeno je, da se praznik obhaja prvo nedeljo po prvi spomladanski luni, to je med 22. marcem in 25. aprilom. Kristjani na ta dan praznujejo Jezusovo vstajenje od mrtvih. To je obenem čas setve, ki pomeni zmago dobrih pomladno-poletnih duhov nad zimskimi demoni. Po dolgem štiridesetdnevnem postu, ki traja od pepelnične srede, dneva po pustnem torku, do velike noči, se velikonočne dobrote prav gotovo priležejo. Praznovanje velike noči se od države do države razlikuje. Na veliki petek je zapovedan strogi post, na veliko soboto se blagoslovijo jedila, ta pa se nato zaužijejo za nedeljski zajtrk. Tudi po Sloveniji ta praznik praznujemo različno, verniki po verskem izročilu, za vse druge pa je velika noč praznik uživanja v dobri hrani.
