Tommy with orchestra again?
This tour is 1/3 Tommy (orchestra), 1/3 misc hits (half with Orchestra, half without), 1/3 Quadrophenia (with orchestra apart from Drowned).

I was at Wembley last night. Great show with an excellent orchestra but I think some of the deeper cuts from Tommy and Quadrophenia were lost on many in the crowd. I experienced an increasing and irritating aspect of live music around me- people chatting loudly and playing on their phones.
If they’re going to play a vast stadium like Wembley then it has to be a rocking greatest hits set. From my personal point of view I’m glad to have experienced the Tommy and Quadrophenia sets because in my 4 previous Who shows I’ve only ever had the rocking set.
Many notable omissions from the set : My Generation, I can’t explain, The Kids are allright and You better bet all nowhere to be seen!
Wembley isn’t the best music venue tbh. It’s far too big and definitely has an echo problem. There were huge complaints when Fleetwood Mac were there 2 weeks ago. The sound was okay in my seat in the club deck of section 228 but not perfect. I couldn’t always decipher what was said on stage. But for a £48 Stubhub resale 5 hours before the gates opened then no complaints from me .

Thanks for the thoughts grzegorz67 - I'll be attending all three shows at the Hollywood Bowl in October which is about 1/4 the capacity of Wembly Stadium.
Seems that people chatting loudly and playing on their phones is a global problem, and something needs to be done to stop it!
Surprised at the omission you mention, but can always live without hearing You Better You Bet.
As for the complaints abvout Fleetwood Mac, might have partially had something to do with Lindsey no longer being in the band ha - I'd be complaining too!

85p How on Earth did you manage that??? Where was the seat? Prices dropped like a stone on show day and I got my face £155 seat on the club deck for £48 at 10.30am. Nowhere near as good as the old Wembley. It's just a big corporate skyscraper now.
Next bid event in London is the Dylan & Young shoe on Friday and even the cheapest tix see going for looney money.

Tickets courtesy of her majesty’s government with an 85 pence administration fee
Good seats level 2 with a great view of the stage although the sound was off a little at times but I think that’s just a common problem at this venue.
Tickets for the Hyde Park show will come down this week.I got into Roger Waters at Hyde Park last year for £10 from a tout.I watched Dylan last week and he was on fire.
