Roger Daltrey’s tour of Tommy, Who classics and more rock and rolled into the Agganis Arena, Boston last night, treating a delighted audience to two hours of great music performed by the iconic Who singer in great voice backed by a tight band at the top of their game.
 
The musicians and the audience alike were delighted by the show.
“Chris stamp was there last night and loved the show,” commented Simon Townshend. “He said it was like reliving the live Who shows of ’69 but with the vocal harmonies added.”
