The Who Tour 2012–2013
The Who's 2012–2013 tour was their third to feature the 1973 album ''Quadrophenia''. Billed as "Quadrophenia and More," the band played ''Quadrophenia'' in its entirety, followed by a selection of their greatest hits. Before starting the tour, the group gave a special performance at the closing ceremonies of the 2012 Summer Olympics.
==History==
The band gave their first performance since a January 2011 charity appearance during the closing ceremonies for the 2012 Summer Olympics on 12 August, performing a short medley comprising "Baba O'Riley", "See Me, Feel Me" and "My Generation". A few weeks earlier they had announced a two leg stint that would feature the ''Quadrophenia'' album for a third time. They toured behind the album's original release, but their use of backing tapes to duplicate its musical complexity caused problems when the tapes malfunctioned and the band had difficulty playing along to them. They revisited the rock opera during their 1996–97 tour, this time with much greater success.
An announcement about the tour came through the band's website and social media networks on 18 July and coincided with a promotional documentary for the album, entitled ''The Who: Quadrophenia – Can You See The Real Me?'' The documentary was only screened in select theatres on 24 July in the United States, and on 25 July in Canada. The documentary featured never before seen footage from the band's first ''Quadrophenia'' tour including footage from its opening night in San Francisco, California, In which drummer Keith Moon collapsed twice and resulted in Scot Halpin, an audience member, filling in for Moon. Tickets for The Who's official fan club were given the first opportunity to purchase tickets on 20 July. American Express cardholders were given a presale date of 23 July. General tickets went on sale 27 July. The Who also announced on 19 July that they would honour tickets for the band's cancelled show in Providence, Rhode Island from 1979, following the tragic concert disaster in Cincinnati at the Riverfront Coliseum, in which 11 people were trampled and killed. The tickets were honoured at their Providence show in 2013, the final date of the tour.
The band retained bass player Pino Palladino and guitarist/backing vocalist Simon Townshend for these shows, but parted ways with longtime keyboard player John "Rabbit" Bundrick. Keyboard player Chris Stainton, who had appeared on the original ''Quadrophenia'' album, played with the group for the closing ceremonies for the Summer Olympics and originally intended to join them for the tour as well, but he withdrew prior to the start of the tour to tour with Eric Clapton. Keyboardists John Corey and Loren Gold were instead added to the line-up along with keyboardist/arranger Frank Simes and a brass section. Drummer Zak Starkey missed several shows in February 2013 due to a tendon injury and was replaced for those dates by Scott Devours; Devours would again substitute for Starkey during the band's June–July European tour. The group tacked on an additional appearance as part of ''12-12-12: The Concert for Sandy Relief'' at Madison Square Garden at the end of the 2012 segment of the tour and did the same for a Teen Cancer America charity event at the Theater at Madison Square Garden along with Elvis Costello at the end of the 2013 North American segment.
