One of the most influential bands to ever grace the stage The Who is returning to rock not only My Generation but older and younger ones, as well, and Saint Louis is a stop on this tour, May 23.
Over 54 years after “My Generation” catapulted The Who to the mainstream, the legendary band is showing no signs of slowing down and are set to release their first album of new music in over thirteen years later this year. To celebrate the band has embarked on a major tour of North America.
The Who has had their share of turmoil over their half century of existence, including the unfortunate deaths of original drummer Keith Moon and one of the greatest bassists ever in John Entwhistle. Obviously, no one can ever replace those two, but filling in for them on the tour will be Jon Button on bass and Zak Starkey on drums (as well as a full orchestra in a few select cities).
The tour is their first return to the states since their 2017 Las Vegas residency. That same year they did a limited run of shows following 2016’s rescheduled leg of their acclaimed 50th anniversary celebration. The band also drew praise for their extended 2012-2013 North American run, a 36 city Quadrophenia tour with the band performing their 1973 rock opera in its entirety.
Commenting on what WHO fans can expect on the 2019 MOVING ON! tour, Pete Townshend stated: “The Who are touring again in 2019. Roger christened this tour Moving On! I love it. It is what both of us want to do. Move on, with new music, classic Who music, all performed in new and exciting ways. Taking risks, nothing to lose. Looking forward to seeing you all. Are you ready?”
Commented Roger Daltrey: “Be aware Who fans! Just because it’s The Who with an orchestra, in no way will it compromise the way Pete and I deliver our music. This will be full throttle Who with horns and bells on.”
Additionally, every pair of tickets purchased online includes a redeemable code for a CD copy of The Who’s forthcoming album when it’s released.
