<-----     " THE WHO to play South America for the First Time EVER !!!!!!   "    .... *** " YES !!!!! " ***




http://www.petetownshend.net/news/the-who-plan-2017-shows-in-north-and-south-ame...




" The Who plan 2017 shows in North and South America "


" The Who’s manager Bill Curbishley discussed plans for upcoming shows in North America and South America in a recent interview with the BBC. This is exciting news, as it will be the first time The Who will play in South America! According to Curbishley, they are putting together a tour that includes North American dates in August and September, followed by 5 shows in Brazil, Chile, and Buenos Aires, Argentina in September. It is likely that they will appear at the popular Rock in Rio festival that will be held September 15 – 24. Other possible cities include Sao Paolo and Porto Alegre in Brazil, and Santiago de Chile. These have yet to be confirmed.

Here is an excerpt from Bill Curbishley’s BBC Radio London interview.

“I’m busy at the moment putting together some North American dates for later in the year for August and September, and then, I still can’t believe it, but we’re going to go down for the first time ever to South America. And I know quite a bit about South America, my wife is Argentinean, and I know what great audiences they are. I know it’s going to be really fantastic. So we’re playing there in September, we’re doing three shows in Brazil, one in Chile, and one finally in Buenos Aires at River Stadium. Recently we did some shows in America in the desert with the Rolling Stones, Roger Waters, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, they were really great. So it was two different weekends. It was the Sunday of one weekend and Sunday on the following weekend, but on the Wednesday, I booked them in to Mexico City.  We went there and it was unreal. The first thing was, I don’t think anyone of the audience’s feet touched the floor for two hours. But secondly, it was a young audience. We got used to this aging fan base over the years. Prior to that we played Italy, and that was a young audience and it was great, but then Mexico was something else. So Pete Townshend said to me ‘Now I know why you’ve been pushing us all this time to play South America!’ And he was still buzzing for like two weeks after that.”

Pete discussed how excited he was to play to younger audiences on the last leg of The Who’s tour in an interview with Rolling Stone.

“In Germany and Italy, and Bologna specifically, at least 65 percent of the audience were under 30. Now, when we went to Coachella, we were also playing to an audience that was about 50/50 millennials on the one hand – fuck knows why they were there but they were there, and I'm not gonna try and explain it – and people of our age and younger. But in the middle, we played in Mexico, and that was like Bologna turned up four; the audience was very, very young, but they knew the words of every song and they sang them the whole way through. And on both nights, when I went to bed, I couldn't sleep. I'd try to sleep and I couldn't sleep. I was tired, but I couldn't sleep, and I wondered why. And I think it was because the little artist inside me was excited. I feel I'm still riding on a bit of that now.”

So stay tuned as more dates get confirmed for 2017! As always, we will be covering all of the shows this year on our Who tour pages!  "

Just read his book. Don't get me wrong, I luv Pete; although not in the biblical sense of course but how depressing! Psycoderelict? If he had've  spent more time on actual lps rather than long drawn out rock operas beyond most peoples understanding,{Quadrophenia}, I mean did Americans really get that in 1973/74? Honestly? I mean MODS were a English thing really weren't they? Ask Weller. Lost on the colonies, surely. No offence.

I always tell people who dug Quad' to listen to the Jam's 'All Mod Cons', 'Setting Sons' & 'Sound Affects'. The Who were a major influence on the Jam; one of Britain's greatest 70s bands. Very much mod revivalists.

Regarding those 6 shows at Caesars Colosseum July 29-Aug 11th, 2017--the audience seating capacity is only around
4300.


So it's a chance to see The Who in a place that isn't gigantic.

I believe I'm in about the 7th row from the stage.

And I didn't have to go on Food Stamps to pay for it.  Smiley

The Who, Pete Townshend Reissues and Box Set Coming Soon

Russell Hall
08.03.2017
http://www.gibson.com/News-Lifestyle/News/en-us/The-Who-Pete-Townshend-Reissues-...

...

A new boxed set that gathers all The Who’s A-sides, B-sides, and EPs into a single package is set for release on October 27. Titled Maximum As & Bs, the 5-CD collection consists of 86 tracks—including such classics as “Pinball Wizard,” “I Can See for Miles,” and “Won’t Get Fooled Again.” Chronologically, the set ranges from the group’s first single (“Zoot Suit,” b/w “I’m the Face,” recorded as the High Numbers) to The Who’s most recent studio track, “Be Lucky.”

Also in the pipeline are reissues of Pete Townshend’s acclaimed demos and outtakes collections—titled Scoop, Another Scoop, and Scoop 3, respectively. Each of the sets—slated for release on August 18—has been newly remastered at half-speed at Abbey Road Studios.

And lastly, two early Who albums—the singles collection Meaty Beaty Big & Bouncy and the concert classic Live at Leeds—are set for release on October 27 on 180-gram vinyl. Like the “Scoop” reissues, each was remastered at Abbey Road, using the half-speed mastering process.

http://www.sfgate.com/entertainment/article/The-Who-brings-Outside-Lands-to-smas...



" The Who gives Outside Lands a smashing finale  "


" Fifty years after stealing the show at the Monterey International Pop Festival in 1967, British rock icons the Who were back in California closing out this year’s Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival on Sunday, Aug. 13.
Playing the main stage on the Polo Fields in Golden Gate Park, the group, featuring just two surviving members from the original lineup — singer Roger Daltrey and guitarist Pete Townshend — and a crew of touring musicians, didn’t skimp on the hits, charging through FM radio staples like “I Can’t Explain,” “Who Are You” and “My Generation.”

At one point, Townshend held up his signature Stratocaster in the soupy fog and in a nod to Woody Guthrie said, “This red guitar kills fascists!”
The crowd went nuts, but he tossed the comment out there so casually it was hard to tell if he was actually making a political statement on the violence in Virginia or recycling old stage banter, especially since a few minutes earlier Daltrey, with his shirt unbuttoned just a few inches too far, had described “Behind Blue Eyes” as “a Limp Bizkit song.”
It was the Who’s first official San Francisco concert since its appearance at the Winterland Ballroom in 1976, and they came prepared.

“Thank you, San Francisco for all your pot,” Daltrey said. “I’m as high as a f— kite.”
With vintage film reels of its glory years rolling on the scrim, the two-hour set felt like a rock ’n’ roll history lesson.
Townshend may not have smashed his guitar as he did during the Who’s Summer of Love heyday, but the group still left plenty of shrapnel in the park with high-ferocity versions of classics like “The Kids Are Alright,” “5:15” and “Pinball Wizard.”

" Pete Townshend Plots Short 'Classic Quadrophenia' Tour "

" Townshend will revisit the Who's famous double album with an orchestra to reach "classical and pop music lovers alike"



" Pete Townshend will perform The Who's famous 1973 double album Quadrophenia live with orchestral accompaniment at four concerts around America in September. In addition to Townshend, who wrote all of Quadrophenia, the performance will also feature 1980s hitmaker Billy Idol and the tenor singer Alfie Boe, who will sing parts originally voiced by the Who's Roger Daltrey.

"I'm thrilled to be bringing Classic Quadrophenia Stateside through the month of September," Townshend said in a statement. "Melding the contrasting sounds of Quadrophenia with a symphony has been a really unique and powerful way to reach a wide audience of classical and pop music lovers alike. I couldn't be more excited to see it continue in the U.S."

Classic Quadrophenia, which premiered in London in 2015, comes to Tanglewood – the Western Massachusetts concert space that is known for celebrating the classical music canon – on September 2nd. The Boston Pops Orchestra will accompany Townshend at this performance. Townshend will then bring his show to the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City for a pair of performances. His short trip wraps up with a show at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. A portion of proceeds from the L.A. gig will benefit Teen Cancer America.

At 72, Townshend said he still enjoys touring in recent years. "It's much nicer to play our music to younger audiences who really haven't grown up with it," he explained to Rolling Stone in 2016. "I just feel, like, 'Wow: I'm alive to see a new generation of people really get this stuff.'"

“What rap did that was impressive was to show there are so many tone-deaf people out there,” he says. “All they need is a drum beat and somebody yelling over it and they’re happy. There’s an enormous market for people who can’t tell one note from another.” - Keef

**********************

" Promoters AEG and Caesars chiefs hope to have Roger and Pete on stage by July, blasting out hits including Substitute and My Generation.

The insider added: “Their shows this summer were a critical success and a sell out, with Roger’s voice sounding better than ever.

“They enjoyed the gigs and unique opportunity of a residency and were open to repeating it for a longer run. The talks have been going well and there is a genuine hope that a deal will be done. "




It is the SMART Move .    Now all of us can go and see THE WHO every time we are in Vegas .
