Nearly 20 years later it was nice to come full circle.

The first time I set foot inside the Midland Theater was when the touring version of the Broadway version of “Tommy” swung through town in the early ’90s.

But the crowd in the pricey seats on the floor stood and cheered for most of the night, a refreshing change of pace.

Filling standing room with folding chairs near the stage is usually the kiss of death for a performance – most fans would rather sit than stand.

Still, it’s hard to complain about an evening packed with more than two hours of classic material. Most shows ended with “Without Your Love” and “Blue Red and Grey.” It was clear after “Baba O’Riley” that the spirit was willing, but the throat was weak.

The set was cut short by a couple songs.

The Star didn’t give me many words for this review, so here are some other thoughts that didn’t make the cut. I Can See For Miles The Kids Are Alright Behind Blue Eyes Days of Light Gimme A Stone Going Mobile Johnny Cash Medley Who Are You Young Man Blues (including Water) Baba O’Riley.

In an evening filled with highlights, the best moment was a potent reading of “Young Man Blues,” which featured Daltrey’s signature microphone twirling and incorporated the Who rarity “Water.” The immortal “Baba O’Riley” concluded a generous set that ran well over two hours. “Eyesight to the Blind” featured a tough blues growl, while “Smash the Mirror” and “Young Man Blues” were as forceful as the original Who recordings. This isn’t to say he doesn’t sing with authority. Improved phrasing and delicate attention to nuance make Daltrey more expressive than ever. After “Tommy” ended, Daltrey paused for a few minutes to introduce the band before plowing into more material.įor the second half, Daltrey wanted to sing some harmonies, so he enlisted the rest of the band to help out on “I Can See For Miles,” “The Kids Are Alright” and a side trip through Americana with “Gimme A Stone” and a Johnny Cash medley.Īlthough Daltrey’s voice isn’t as strong today, in many ways he’s a better vocalist. We've also got a blistering country rock cut from singer Andrew Combs, who gets political on a song called "Bourgeois King." The baroque pop of San Fermin gets bigger than ever on the band's new full-length, Belong the Paris-based singer known as ALA.NI croons like it's the 1940s and NPR Music's Lars Gotrich stops by to blow our minds (and ear drums) with the scorching punk of a band called Exit Order, tempered by the hypnotic jazz of Joshua Abrams and Natural Information Society.The Who singer brought a five piece band, including guitarist Simon Townshend, brother of Who mastermind Pete Townshend, to the Midland on Friday for a trip through “Tommy” and other favorites.The band stuck pretty close to the recorded version of “Tommy,” give or take a few guitar solos and a nice gospel piano intro to “Come to This House.” “Pinball Wizard” finally got the crowd on the floor to their feet, where they stayed for the rest of the night.

It turns out that, apart from singing, Puddles never speaks, so we gave his assistant and interpreter Mike Geier a call to learn more about how this crazy mashup came to be. Watch the video in our playlist below if you don't believe me. So, for Bob's birthday this week, it felt appropriate to begin our show with nearly seven-foot tall clown named Puddles who sings a surreal mashup of Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues" and The Who's "Pinball Wizard." We're not making this up.

We've often joked on the show about the virtual circus that's endlessly unfolding in Bob Boilen's brain, where his childlike imagination dances to the sound of a whistling calliope. Clockwise from upper left: San Fermin, Puddles Pity Party, Exit Order, Andrew Combs, Ala.ni
