The Who Will Soon Be Embarking on The European Leg of Their Tour Quadrophenia

UK - The Who, will soon be embarking on the European leg of their tour Quadrophenia and More after completing their 37-date North American stretch. The band's first tour in four years will see them playing at the O2 arena 15 and 16 June armed with two Trace Acoustic TA-300 amplifiers.

Founder members Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend are once again joined by long-time supporting musicians Zak Starkey, Pino Palladino, and Simon Townshend, though this tour sees the group perform the entirety of their 1973 album-cum-rock opera, Quadrophenia, for the first time since 1997.

Simon Townshend, who has been the band's second guitarist since 1996, has been a fan of the TA-300 for some time, and refers to it quite simply as "the best amp ever". For this tour, Daltrey is also using one.

"Everything about the TA-300 is spectacular, from the compression going into the built in reverb, effects and EQ; and the sheer volume at the back end," Townshend enthuses. "It's perfect for finger style or hard-hitting strumming, and nothing seems to distort through it."
