This will be full throttle Who with horns and bells on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This won\u2019t be the first time the Who\u2019s music will be paired with an orchestra. The idea goes back to 1972 when the London Symphony Orchestra staged <em>Tommy<\/em> with guests including Steve Winwood, Rod Stewart, Ringo Starr and Richie Havens, plus Daltrey with Pete Townshend. Twenty-two years later, in 1994, Daltrey revived the idea at Carnegie Hall when he celebrated his 50th birthday by singing Who classics with the Juilliard Orchestra, joined by guests stars Eddie Vedder, Lou Reed, Alice Cooper, Linda Perry, along with Townshend and his other surviving bandmate John Entwistle.<\/p>\n<p>Daltrey took the show on the road that summer, but ticket sales were anemic in some markets, and the production presented several musical challenges. \u201cIt was wonderful, but it was early days as to how to actually present a show like that,\u201d Daltrey told <em>Rolling Stone<\/em> earlier this month. \u201cThere were many big technical problems with rock bands being very loud and orchestras being quiet. We achieved it in the end, but it was hard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The technology needed to present a show like that has come a long way since 1994, meaning things should go a lot smoother this time around. \u201cYou\u2019ll be hearing familiar stuff that will take you to even greater heights,\u201d says Daltrey. \u201cIt will all become majestic. That\u2019s all I can say.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/flashback-roger-daltrey-orchestra-779195\/\" target=\"_blank\">via:: Rolling Stone<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier this week, the Who rolled out dates\u00a0for their 2019 Moving On! tour, on which they\u2019ll be joined each night by local symphonies. \u201cBe aware Who fans!\u201d Roger Daltrey said in a statement. \u201cJust because it\u2019s The Who with an orchestra, in no way will it compromise the way Pete and I deliver our music.
