The Who to Play Special Show in LA On Saturday

July 11th, 2008

Roger Daltry and Pete Townsend will get together tomorrow, July 12 in Los Angeles to play a special gig that will be taped and aired on VH1’s third annual “VH1 Rock Honors” next Thursday, July 17.   Roger and Pete will close the show with their 45 minute set, performing after the likes of the Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam and the Flaming Lips, who will do their versions of some of the Who’s hits.   Apparently Mr. Daltry is a big fan of the Foos Dave Grohl…

“I’m a huge fan of (Foo Fighters frontman) Dave Grohl,” Daltrey told Reuters during an interview at his hotel on Thursday. “He’s got the mentality of a rock god.”

After the brief concert, Roger will go back to lounging about until November when The Who returns to Japan for only its second time, playing a 4 date tour of that country.
