The Who
frontman Roger Daltrey has admitted he was almost always confused when bandmate
Pete Townshend tried to explain his rock opera concepts.
He was
only able to make one line of sense out of the guitarist’s idea for 1969
classic album Tommy – but it was enough for the vocalist to understand what was
required of him.
Daltrey
tells Q: “Did I have to ask him what the hell he was on about? All the time.
But, equally, there’s always one sentence that comes out of that rambling brain
of his that you can grasp. With Tommy it was: ‘Imaging living a life where you
can only feel vibrations.’ I could latch onto that.”
Going
Back Home, Daltrey’s collaborative album with Wilko Johnson, has just been
released. The extended documentary DVD Sensation: The Story Of Tommy is
released next week, and The Who are gearing up to make a new album this year.
