I was fortunate enough to be on a press call this Am with Pete and Roger (yes we are on a first name basis now… in my mind) where they announced the new production of a live Quadrophenia tour to start in the USA! 37 dates on sale July 27th. This announcement comes on the back of a new Quadrophenia documentary Can You See The Real Me which will be screening next week for one night only at a theatre near you (see fathom events) The Who will again bring the greatest rock and roll album of all time to life in what is promised to be a new updated version that will focus on the central themes of the story. The last time The Who toured with Quadrophenia was in 1997. When asked what he remembers best about the 1997 tour Pete said “Madison Square Garden was wonderful chaos” I was at that show and it felt like my childhood was focused in retrospect at that moment. I for one cannot wait to see what The Who will bring to this new production which will be handled visually by Roger. The Who will also be performing at the Olympics (no other details yet) Pete said “Quadrophenia is a place where Roger and I feel comfortable, it is something that we can do together. Which is what I want”
Thank you Roger and Pete for continuing to do your thing.
