Daltrey is in fine voice....even at his advanced age, he sounds great.  Of course, he doesn't have quite the "razor edge" anymore, but I think he'd do the Quad songs justice.  That said, I ain't paying $100 to see the band in front of 50,000 fans.  If they played at a 3 or 4,000 seat theater (and if they charged a reasonable sum), then maybe.
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

Sad, but I think the song is over.
I agreed. Quadrophenia songs are too demanding for an old singer as Mr. Daltrey as well. They should go live with less vocaly demanding songs, maybe some rarities; something more suitable for his voice, but not Quad  - what they were played rarely even in 70s with Entwistle and Moon. Btw, an interesting stuff: http://soundcloud.com/smashmashups/roger-daltrey-1970-vs-roger

Not.

Are people really interested in seeing Roger and Pete perform without The Ox and The Loon? Not me anyway.


 
And in heaven John Lennon and George Harrison are probably forming a band with Keith Moon and John Entwistle

I'll be at the Detroit show. I'm looking forward to it. In addition to Townshend and Daltrey...Zak is also worth watching. A very underrated drummer, in my opinion.

Agreed. Sad to think that if it's about the money. They would be better served just doing a two man acoustic show. 
 
Justin Bieber is on tour....you can go see him LOL
