The Who
Quadrophenia and More Tour
Special Guest: Vintage Trouble
Sunday December 9, 2012
Mohegan Sun Arena – Uncasville
About The Tour:
The Who launched its “Quadrophenia and More” Tour on November 1, 2012 in Sunrise, Florida. The 11-month tour visited 50 cities across North America and Europe. The tour wrapped up in London in July 2013.
On the tour The Who played its sixth studio album and rock opera “Quadrophenia” in entirety plus an encore that featured a selection of their greatest hits. The capacity crowd at Mohegan Sun’s 10,000 seat arena rocked out for over two-hours with The Who’s founding members Roger Daltry and Pete Townshend plus current members guitarist Simon Townshend, drummer Zak Starkey and bassist Pino Palladino.
The show at Mohegan Sun was The Who’s last performance before their appearance at the “12-12-12: The Concert for Sandy Relief” at New York City’s Madison Square Garden that also featured The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band and more. Proceeds from the 12-12-12 Concert benefited the victims of Hurricane Sandy.
