- Exclusive face to face interview with Roger Daltrey, voice and icon of the Who, realized in collaboration with Onstage in the occasion of the concert in Padua held last March 9th. Accompanied by a band of five elements, including Simon Townshend, brother of the legendary Pete, the unstoppable English singer is touring Europe with a show during which he presents all the songs of the famous rock opera "Tommy" and a selection of historical Who's tracks.
After the debut at Geox's theatre in Padua last March 9th, the tour moved to Genoa and Turin. Next Italian gigs will be held at Trieste's Teatro Rossetti on March 18th, at Florence's Comunale on the 20th, on March 21st and 23rd at Rome's Auditorium Conciliazione and at Milan's Teatro Smeraldo on the 24th.

I want to cuddle Roger, he is lovely!
That’s a true artist understanding his craft. Thanks for sharing this
Roger proves he's not the ordinary performer of the writer's songs. He ACTUALLY understood the task.
Still one of the Good Guys !
I don't think anyone is more lively than him at his age
Agreed, he doesn't even move like a guy in his 70's
Love from Buffalo, Roger!!!! Such an authentic, dear spirit!!!!! Thank you!!! Bless you, precious Soul!
It's like how Jimmy From quadrophenia is in our soul
LIke with the protagonists in all good stories, there is a little Tommy Walker in all of us.
good call yes he is, but for me a younger me .....
The reconstituted Who (Roger, Pete, Zach Starky, and Erik Palladino) came here to Japan for the first time in 2009, and Roger came by himself with his "Tommy" tour earlier this year. On both occasions, Roger's voice was still great. I think he's right when he says it's stronger, in some ways, now than it was when he was younger. My favorite rock singer.
He's beautiful
He surely as done alright he's one of the greatest rock singer's ever not forgetting his acting ability as well and the lead singer of the greatest rock band ever THE WHO. SIR ROGER DALTREY SURELY SOON.
Back when Tommy was on cable (HBO) I watched it as much as possible,I love the entire album as well as the movie!
The Story of Tommy is about how no one really cares about any of us ,... and every one is faking ,... it's way past brilliant ,..
Tommy is Truth
Yes, Tommy is still about all of us
Easily my favorite member of the the Who! Such a straight arrow and all round good guy!
This man speaks so eloquently, He was and still is the epitome of a true ROCK GOD!!!!!!
He is the best!!! thumbs up from portugal =)
He is darling.
Gosh he's still so pretty!!
Very articulate. Didn't know he had it in him. He could go toe to toe with Townshend on an intellectual level.
Tommy has changed. here i am.
In coupla weeks, for the first time ever, I'm going to see a tribute to this album, a reinterpretation maybe - by wonderful Australian band, You Am I.
Rally relaxed interview and also honest !
Still georgous
Schubert last piano sonatas and the image of the sad beauty rediscovered and reinterpreted by hungarian pianist Sir Andras Schiff akin to enthralling beauty of Chopin nocturnes. Cheers a wonderful raconteur a sophisticated wit Sir Rodger.
VIVA O ROGER!!!
❤❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹🌹
me too !
I'll say you did all right.
As with the protagonist in all good stories there's a little bit of Tommy Walker in all of us.

What is Tommy about. Every interview is different. My take: a Messiah pinball rock 🌟
Oh, honey, it's way, way, way deeper than that!
I've seen it three times. What a trip!
Kerry Aggen speak
Jackson Holt it's colorful and great
Traci H - It looks like it's about how he becomes a pinball rock Messiah - but, that's on the surface - under that is an entire world of societal and social commentary!!! I know you want to know what it means! :) However, the take-away message(s) you might get may be different from the ones I have gotten... Just like with any great film, book, piece of art, or other eye-opening experience - you (hopefully) might experience an epiphany, or several. ;)
SO WATCH IT, IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY!!! :) You won't be sorry or disappointed! You might be scratching your head during a number of scenes - okay, many to most scenes! But, if you watch it with an open mind - in other words, with no pre-decided ideas about it's meaning, and not letting the visuals in each scene or "act" (it's like a play, almost) keep you from seeing the deeper meaning - and let yourself slowly digest it, you'll see some powerful messages.
*** SPOILERS W/RE TO MEANING ***
Well, the meaning that I'VE gotten from it. :) The social and societal commentary includes how people (even parents) can use others for their own ends, many times to the detriment (sometimes overwhelmingly so) of those being used. It's about how we are all searching for the meaning of our own existence, how we are all searching for what we want to be, and how to reach that, how to become that, how to be free to be ourselves. It's also about coping with trauma, how we all have been traumatized to some degree or in some way, and how to get beyond that - to break through that hurt and pain and sorrow and grief to live how you want to live and not be defined or limited by what you've been through, to instead define yourself and your life in a way(s) that is(are) genuine to you. It's basically about growing up. ;) And, sometimes we need to re-decide those things a number of times throughout our lives to regain our internal freedom. Again, this is what I've gotten from it.
Y U NO MAKE AUTOBIOGRAPHY?!
