No Keith Moon, no John Entwistle — fine. They’re dead. But why no Pete Townshend on this Tommy tour? “It’s great to see Roger performing Tommy with his band in 2011. I will be there in spirit. Roger has my complete and most loving support,” Townshend said, in an issued statement. His absence is a bummer, and that his younger brother, Simon, is filling in on guitar only marginally eases the disappointment. Still, Daltrey doing Tommy in its entirety, and then coming back to play assorted Who hits, is nothing to sneeze at. I’ll take it.
