Breaking News of the concert variety - The Who is coming to Canada! Ill spare you the aforementioned Laurel and Hardy bit. The godfathers of rock will embark on two-leg winter tour across North America, with several Canadian stops - November 20 in Montreal, November 21 in Ottawa and November 23 in Toronto, then a gig in Hamilton February 19 on the second leg. There are no Western dates announced yet, but Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver should keep their fingers crossed, there are several open dates in January and February, when the band will be in the Pacific Northwest states.
According to my sources, this tour will feature a complete rendition of the Who's second rock-opera, Quadrophenia, as well as some other fan favourites. Not like there's a shortage of great material for them. Joining Roger Daltry and Pete Townshend in this current incarnation of the Who will be seasoned drummer Zak Starkey (Ringo's son and one of the modern members of the band), Simon Townshend on guitar and back-up vocals, Pino Palladino (bass), Chris Stainton (keyboards), Loren Gold (keyboards, back-up vocals), and Frank Simes (musical director, keyboards and backing vocals).
