The Who are gearing up to launch the second leg of their Moving On! tour, and with a full orchestra backing them on all the dates, fans are more ready than ever to see what they have in store.
Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey share in an exclusive interview why this tour is unique to any other they've done, and how they've reinvented the music to keep things fresh and fans on their toes.
WATCH!
On reinventing the music:
"We can't keep going out with the same show, so how do you keep trying to reinvent the music?" - Daltrey
"On this tour, we're experimenting with an orchestra." Townshend
On the orchestration:
"Orchestrations that make the music come alive, the way I've always heard in my head. This is an orchestra pumping out rock, and it's really working." - Daltrey
"Don't ever think it's violins playing something that can be played on a keyboard. There are massive changes, we end 'Baba O'Riley' with this extraordinary, complex arrangement. 'Behind Blue Eyes' with cello and violin. We're challenged by this, we're respectful of it." - Townshend
