Earlier
this week, Townshend and singer Roger Daltrey were at a screening in England of
Sensation: The Story Of The Who’s Tommy, a documentary of the making of their
classic 1969 “rock opera.” According to London’s Evening Standard, Townshend
said, “For the 50th anniversary,” which takes place in 2015, “We’ll tour the
world. It’ll be the last big one for us. There are still plenty of places we’ve
not played. It would be good to go to eastern Europe and places that haven’t
heard us play all the old hits.”
While
last year, the Who was in Quadrophenia mode, performing that entire double
album on tour, it seems that they are back in Tommy‘s world. Besides the
documentary, they released a super-deluxe version of the album on
November 11, which will include demos, outtakes, and live recordings of the
songs from the album.
