The Who Tour 2006–2007 : ウィキペディア英語版
The Who Tour 2006–2007

The Who Tour 2006–2007 was The Who's first worldwide concert tour since 1997, supporting their ''Endless Wire'' album.
==History==
In December 2005, ''Rolling Stone'' magazine announced that The Who would be touring in the summer of 2006, visiting Australia, Canada, Japan, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In advance of their new ''Endless Wire'' album release, the band embarked on a 24-date European tour followed by their first world tour, their first shows since their short 2004 tours and brief performance at Live 8 in 2005. Members of the group's 2002 and 2004 line-up remained, namely Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend but also including keyboardist John "Rabbit" Bundrick (due to the illness of his wife, replaced on 25 shows over two legs of the tour by his keyboard tech, Brian Kehew), bassist Pino Palladino, drummer Zak Starkey and guitarist/backup vocalist Simon Townshend. Opening acts featured on the worldwide tour included The Casbah Club, Peeping Tom, moe., Inward Eye, Rose Hill Drive, The Pretenders, and The Tragically Hip.
It was announced at short notice that the opening gig of the tour would be at the Leeds University Refectory on 17 June, the same venue at which the band recorded the ''Live at Leeds'' album in 1970. Tickets to this particular show were sold in person only from the Leeds University Union, with sales limited to two tickets per person.〔University of Leeds: (Live at Leeds – again )〕 Before the concert Daltrey and Townshend unveiled a blue plaque to commemorate the recording of ''Live at Leeds'' at the same venue 36 years before. The show was so greatly anticipated that the BBC covered the story, both on the day of the concert and the day after, including interviews with audience members as they were leaving the performance.〔(Leeds gig to launch The Who tour ), BBC News〕〔(The Who recreate 1970 Leeds gig ), BBC News〕
In July, the group played a number of music festivals around the UK, including the second day of Hyde Park Calling, a concert to celebrate the twenty year anniversary of the Hard Rock Cafe, on 2 July, Oxegen in Ireland on 8 July, and T in the Park in Scotland on 9 July. When The Who performed at Hyde Park Calling, the presenters of the BBC TV program ''Top Gear'' joined the band as roadies to test vans. The episode was broadcast on 30 July 2006.
Shows from the entire European tour were broadcast online at (thewholive.tv ). Video streaming company (Streaming Tank ) were in charge of broadcasting the concerts, headed up by the technical team for ''The Lord of the Rings'' film trilogy. This was the first attempt by any band to broadcast entire shows via the Internet since the Pixelon-sponsored "Vegas Job" (later released on DVD as ''The Vegas Job'') in October 1999, which had been the band's first attempt at live broadcasting over the internet. Most of the European shows were preceded in the broadcast by an episode of the web TV program, In The Attic, presented by Rachel Fuller and Mikey Cuthbert. At festivals such as the O2 Festival in Leeds, the opening artists for The Who appeared as guests on the show once they came off stage.
On 12 September, The band opened the first leg of the North American tour in Philadelphia at the Wachovia Center, then later appeared at the BBC's Electric Proms and on the ''Parkinson'' before returning to the United States. The second North American leg concluded in Columbus, Ohio on 11 December.
The group spent most of the first half of 2007 touring again, starting with a return trip to North America that began on 23 February in Reno, Nevada and ended on 26 March in Hollywood, Florida, followed by the band's Teenage Cancer Trust benefit concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London on 31 March. An extensive trip through various parts of the United Kingdom and Europe began in Lisbon, Portugal on 16 May and concluded in Helsinki, Finland on 9 July. The band also did a one-off show on 6 October at Messegelände in Hanover, Germany to celebrate the International Volkswagen Minibus Meeting.
The 2006–2007 tours were financially successful and well received by fans and critics alike, with only a couple of minor setbacks. One such incident occurred on 8 December 2006 in Saint Paul, Minnesota, when Daltrey's voice gave out near the end of a performance. Daltrey had apologised to the audience earlier in the concert, saying that he was suffering from bronchitis.〔Official tour site news: (12.12.06 The Who wrap up 2nd American leg )〕 On 13 March 2007 the band came on stage as usual in Tampa, Florida but abruptly ended the show moments into the opening number when it became painfully clear that Daltrey was unable to sing at all. Townshend stopped the band and apologised, saying they wanted to at least "give it a go" despite Daltrey being seriously ill with an upper respiratory infection. The band's manager Bill Curbishley quickly rescheduled the show, which was successfully performed on 25 March. Dates in Mexico City and San Antonio, Texas were also postponed, but the band ultimately chose to cancel them instead. The Teenage Cancer Trust benefit concerts in London had been scheduled only five days after the final US show in Hollywood, Florida.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The Who Tampa show rescheduled for March 25th )
Another incident occurred in Verona, Italy, on 11 June 2007: a massive rainstorm forced the band to stop the concert after only five songs, and when they came back on stage over an hour later, Daltrey found himself unable to sing and left midsong.〔(11.06.2007 The Who in Verona – Roger's voice has gone on Behind Blue Eyes )〕 Townshend announced the show was cancelled, but ferocious booing from the rain-soaked crowd persuaded the band to return to the stage 40 minutes later to play the rest of the set, this time with Pete doing most of the vocals and a raucous and visibly frustrated Daltrey singing just a verse here and there when his voice permitted, giving all he could in the final "Won't Get Fooled Again".〔(11.06.2007 The Who in Verona – "Won't get fooled again" – Roger without voice but singing anyway )〕
