Roger Daltrey in Review

Some people really don’t know how lucky we are to have not just world-class entertainment come to the Central Valley but Icons and Legends. Who would have thought that Roger Daltrey would perform at the Bob Hope Theatre? What an amazing night of music from Roger Daltrey a true musical legend. Kicking things off with “Overture” and straight into “Pinball Wizard” and then into “Who Are You”. The Night was filled with hits including “I Can See for Miles”, “Behind Blue Eyes” “The Real Me” and “Baba O’Riley” to songs the Who never play live like “Going Mobile” sung by Pete’s younger brother Simon Townshend, “Athena” and “How Many Friends”. Add a few covers and some solo tracks that kept the audience on their feet the entire night. If you have never been to the Bob Hope(aka Fox Theatre) it is a beautifully restored classic theatre of yesteryear and is worth going to a show just for the architecture and art of it.  Richter Entertainment Group knocked it out of theTheatre with this show and has The Monkees coming June 8th to the Bob Hope Theatre (get your tickets now) and have announced several shows happening at both the Bob Hope and Ironstone Amphitheatre.
