Music News - The Who have been busy....
The Who (one of my all-time favorite bands) have been busy lately currently performing in the U.K., on the first leg of a world tour which will soon hit the States, set to release a mini-opera single CD on July 10th, and still working on their first studio album (since their 1997, "Its Hard" record), which is scheduled for an October release (will be posting a record review - stay tuned).
During their current tour the band will stream some of their performances live to internet viewers (for a very nominal charge- the proceeds of which will be donated to charity) for more info on the internet telecasts, tour dates, etc. you can log onto the Who's website at: http://thewholive.tv/frontdoor/
In Memory: at a recent Who concert in London's Hyde Park (part of a series of concerts where Pink Floyd also played) pictures of the late Who drummer Keith Moon and bass player John Entwistle were flashed as the remaining Who members Pete Townsend & Roger Daltry continued to pound out solid Who rock - just like in the latter days (reviews of the show have been very positive - which bodes well for eager Who fans in the States who are anxiously awaiting to see these rock legends perform live again).
Side Note: Who lead guitarist Pete Townsend has announced that he has promised not to ever break another musical instrument again (at least on stage before a concert audience). Townsend has donated one of the very last guitars that he broke to charity, and the instrument will travel from venue to venue with the band, allowing interested fans and collectors an opportunity purchase a ticket and have a chance to own this now infamous guitar (customized by Pete Townsend!).
