Now's your chance to experience iconic Who album Tommy in all its live glory, as The Who's singer Roger Daltrey brings the show to Wolverhampton Civic Hall this weekend.
It was one of the most iconic album releases of the 1960s. The Who's rock opera, Tommy, captured the zeitgeist as it told the story of a deaf, dumb and blind kid who became a messianic leader.
Although the album was principally composed by The Who guitarist Pete Townsend, it became synonymous with the band's lead singer, Roger Daltrey, who starred as Tommyin the 1975 movie version.
And Daltrey will revive his role when he brings Tommy to Wolverhampton Civic Hall on Sunday for a show in which he will perform the album from start to finish.
Daltrey will also play a number of other Who classics during his headline show.
The show will provide a unique opportunity for fans to see the full album, which was never performed in its entirety by the band.
The show hit the road in March, when Daltrey premiered it at The Royal Albert Hall in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust, and it has played to rave reviews since.
Following its UK leg, Daltrey will jet off to the USA and Canada, for a major stadium tour that will run throughout September and October, finishing in early November.
Fans at Wolverhampton's Civic Hall are in for a treat and can expect to see striking visuals accompanying the music. Civic Halls spokesman Jonn Penney said: "Tommy is not only one of the most acclaimed and defining works of the rock era, it is an enduring album that resonates on radio to this day where it has found multi-generational appeal."
The album was inducted into The Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998 and sold 20 million copies.
Roger himself describes the show and visuals as "a Tommy show for today's audience from a different perspective."
He said: "Tommy will always be seen as a turning point for the band.
"Within it, I found the new voice of The Who and the band found its stride in making that music, adjusting it, using all that knowledge that we had from jazz and the blues into making it work in a rock way."
The tour has also won the support of Pete Townsend, who said: "It's great to see Roger performing Tommy with his band in 2011.
"I will be there in spirit, and Roger has my complete and most loving support.
"Roger is touring his unique concert version of Tommy using his faithful presentation of the original work as the backbone for a set of wider material. . . it is wonderful to hear the way Roger and his new band re-interpret the old Who songs."
Fans can expect songs like Pinball Wizard, The Acid Queen, I'm Free, See Me, Feel Me and We're Not Gonna Take It.
