On Monday night, The Who brought their ongoing Moving On! Tour to New York City’s iconic Madison Square Garden. For this tour, the band is bringing along a local symphony orchestra to each performance, offering a new, unique take on their classic catalog.
As guitarist Pete Townshend said of the tour when it was announced, “The Who are touring again in 2019. Roger [Daltrey] christened this tour Moving On! I love it. It is what both of us want to do. Move on, with new music, classic Who music, all performed in new and exciting ways. Taking risks, nothing to lose. Looking forward to seeing you all. Are you ready?”
As Roger Daltrey added, “Be aware Who fans! Just because it’s The Who with an orchestra, in no way will it compromise the way Pete and I deliver our music. This will be full throttle Who with horns and bells on.”
Along with Townshend and Daltrey, the lineup for this tour is rounded out by familiar Who players featuring guitarist/backup singer Simon Townshend, keyboardist Loren Gold, bassist Jon Button and drummer Zak Starkey, and complemented by some of the best orchestras in the U.S. and Canada.
