Roger Daltrey almost never plays a New York room this size. A Great Night Out is a semi-acoustic band show rather than a greatest-hits blast, which means Who standards sit next to deep cuts, covers he has reworked, and stories from sixty years of doing this. The Town Hall's dry, speech-clear acoustic was designed for the spoken word and is about the best possible room for a singer who wants to be heard rather than amplified over.
What to expect
A seated theatre show. Leslie Mendelson opens, then Daltrey and a semi-acoustic band - guitar, mandolin, harmonica, violin, accordion, percussion, drums and bass - take the stage for a set that moves between Who standards, solo material and reworked covers. Expect talking between songs; the format is closer to an evening with than a straight concert.
Good to know
- The Town Hall is a landmarked seated theatre on West 43rd Street between Sixth Avenue and Broadway - there is no standing floor.
- Doors open an hour before the performance.
- Leslie Mendelson opens the night.
- Daltrey has described this run as possibly his last US solo tour.
- The band is semi-acoustic, so this is a listening show rather than a stadium-volume one.
- Times Square-42 St on the 1/2/3, 7, N/Q/R/W and S is a block away, and Bryant Park is nearly as close.
