The band begin a second US leg of their Quadrophenia And More tour in Anaheim, California later today (January 28). Directed by Roger Daltrey, the show features a full performance of their 1973 double album Quadrophenia accompanied by “powerful imagery projected on an array of massive screens”. According to the band’s press release, this imagery is “designed to support, complement and propel the musical content of the work by setting it in the context of the history of the band”.

During their UK dates, Daltrey and Pete Townshend will be joined by Zak Starkey (drums), Pino Palladino (bass), Simon Townshend (guitar/backing vocals), John Corey (keyboards), Loren Gold (keyboards/backing vocals) and Frank Simes (musical director, keyboards/backing vocals).
