The Who's Moving On! tour made a stop in Philadelphia the other night.Sadly only Roger Daltrey and Pete Townsend are the only original members still around, but what a great show regardless.
Their current band consists of Simon Townsend on guitar, Zak Starkey on drums, Loren Gold on Keyboards and Jon Button on bass.
In each city they will be backed by a full orchestra. Katie Jacoby will be the featured violinist at each show.
What was most impressive, was how after 50+ years, they did not see fit to just put on a greatest hits show. The show was broken into 3 sections. first was a condensed version of Tommy and a few other songs performed with the orchestra. The second section was a short set by the band only, and the final section was a condensed version of Quadrophenia, and the final song, Baba O'Riley.
Daltrey and Townsend sounded great and drummer Zak Starkey was also a standout. And the violin solo in Baba O'Riley was a real highlight.
J. Geils Band lead vocalist Peter Wolf opened the show with a too short set.
here are the setlists.
