The Who Tour 1973 : ウィキペディア英語版 | The Who Tour 1973
The Who Tour 1973 was The Who's first concert tour supporting their ''Quadrophenia'' album. ==History== Prior to recording the ''Quadrophenia'' album, the band played a one-off performance in Voorburg, Netherlands for a Dutch TV special in March. They then did one tour each in England and North America supporting the new rock opera, released in October; four additional dates in London were added after their November dates at the Lyceum failed to meet the large demand for tickets. The set list for these tours was altered considerably from their 1971 and 1972 tours, with a large part of the act devoted to ''Quadrophenia'', while "Won't Get Fooled Again" was the only ''Who's Next'' track retained until "My Wife" was reintroduced during the North American dates. Unlike performances of the rock opera ''Tommy'', the group opted to introduce and explain the context of most of the new numbers rather than play them one after the other without breaks. They often struggled with some of the new material, choosing to play to a number of pre-recorded backing tracks featuring the album's original piano and synthesizer parts, as well as various sound effects. "The Dirty Jobs", "Is It in My Head", and "I've Had Enough" were only played in the first concert in Stoke-on-Trent before proving unworkable, and both "Helpless Dancer" and "The Rock" (also played to backing tracks) were eventually dropped. Drummer Keith Moon received a solo vocal spot during "Bell Boy", with Pete Townshend often teasing him over his singing abilities. Memorable (and infamous) performances during these tours included the group's 5 November show in Newcastle, when troubles with the ''Quadrophenia'' backing tracks caused Townshend to suffer a meltdown that resulted in sound engineer Bob Pridden being dragged onstage and suffering an assault in front of the bemused audience. Additionally, Moon passed out about 70 minutes into the opening night of the North American tour at the Cow Palace in Daly City, California, at which point an audience member joined the band and helped them finish the concert (see entry for Scot Halpin for complete details). The show at the Spectrum in Philadelphia on 4 December was recorded and occasionally broadcast in incomplete form on the King Biscuit Flower Hour radio show starting in 1974; the following show at the Capital Center in Landover, Maryland was also recorded, but was not aired (the King Biscuit recordings were rumoured to be from both dates, but eventually proved to all be from the Philadelphia performance).
