Editing Roger Daltrey (section)

=== Overview ===

Townshend began writing original material for the band, and after their first hit single ("[[I Can't Explain]]") and record deal in early 1965, Daltrey's dominance of the band diminished.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Lerner |first1=Murray |title=Amazing Journey: The Story of The Who |date=2007 |publisher=Universal Studios}}</ref> The other members of the Who fired him from the band in late 1965 after he beat up their drummer, [[Keith Moon]], for supplying illegal drugs to Townshend and Entwistle, but he was re-admitted to the band a week later on probation after he promised not to do it again. He recalled, "I thought if I lost the band, I was dead. If I didn't stick with the Who, I would be a [[sheet metal worker]] for the rest of my life."<ref>{{cite book |last=Cawthorne |first=Nigel |title=The Who and the Making of Tommy |publisher=Unanimous |year=2005 |page=45 |isbn=978-1903318768 |volume=5 |series=Vinyl Frontier}}</ref>

The band's second single, "[[Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere]]", was a collaboration between Daltrey and Townshend.<ref>{{cite web|website=Songfacts.com|url=http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=79|title=ANYWAY, ANYHOW, ANYWHERE by THE WHO |access-date=14 August 2014}}</ref> While Townshend was developing into an accomplished composer, Daltrey was gaining a reputation as a singer and front-man. The Who's stage act was energetic, and Daltrey's habit of swinging the microphone around by its cord on stage became a signature move. His Townshend-inspired stuttering expression of youthful anger, frustration and arrogance in the band's breakthrough single, "[[My Generation]]", captured the revolutionary feeling of the 1960s for young people around the world and became a trademark sound. His scream near the end of "[[Won't Get Fooled Again]]" was a defining moment in rock and roll.<ref>{{cite web|website=Songfacts.com |url=http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=1532 |title=WON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN by THE WHO |access-date=14 August 2014}}</ref>

By 1973, Daltrey was experiencing success with his solo projects and acting roles. While the other members of the band were recording the music for ''[[Quadrophenia]]'', he took the opportunity to examine the Who's financial books and found they had fallen into disarray under the management of [[Kit Lambert]] and [[Chris Stamp]]. Lambert was Pete Townshend's artistic mentor, and challenging him led to renewed tension within the band. During a filming session, in an incident that Daltrey later claimed was overblown, Townshend and Daltrey argued over the schedule, Townshend hit Daltrey over the head with his guitar, and Daltrey responded by knocking Townshend unconscious with a single blow.<ref>Giuliano, p. 103</ref>

In the Who's milestone achievements, ''[[Tommy (The Who album)|Tommy]]'', ''[[Who's Next]]'', and ''[[Quadrophenia]]'', Daltrey became the face and voice of the band as they defined themselves as rebels in a generation of change. When [[Ken Russell]]'s adaptation of ''[[Tommy (1975 film)|Tommy]]'' appeared as a feature film in 1975, Daltrey played the lead role. He was nominated for a [[Golden Globe Award]] for "[[Golden Globe Award for New Star of the Year – Actor|Best Acting Debut in a Motion Picture]]", and appeared on the cover of ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' magazine on 10 April 1975. He worked with Russell again, starring as [[Franz Liszt]] in ''[[Lisztomania (film)|Lisztomania]],'' and collaborated with [[Rick Wakeman]] on the soundtrack of the film.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.discogs.com/Roger-Daltrey-Rick-Wakeman-Lisztomania/release/3577748 |title=Roger Daltrey & Rick Wakeman – Lisztomania |date=February 1976 |publisher=Discogs |access-date=4 February 2020}}</ref>

The Who's drummer, Keith Moon, died in 1978. The band continued working after his death, but Daltrey thought that new drummer [[Kenney Jones]] had been the wrong choice.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.uncut.co.uk/the-who/roger-daltreys-track-by-track-guide-to-the-whos-hits-feature |title=Roger Daltrey's track-by-track guide to The Who's greatest hits |website=Uncut |access-date=14 August 2014 |archive-date=23 October 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131023135310/http://www.uncut.co.uk/the-who/roger-daltreys-track-by-track-guide-to-the-whos-hits-feature |url-status=dead }}</ref> The Who broke up in 1983 when Townshend felt that he could no longer write for them.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://music.apple.com/us/artist/pete-townshend/320553 |title=Pete Townshend |publisher=iTunes Store |access-date=14 August 2014}}</ref>

The band reformed in 1989 for a 25th Anniversary Tour, which also celebrated the 20th anniversary of their rock opera ''Tommy''. The tour featured a large backing band, with guest appearances by [[Steve Winwood]], [[Patti LaBelle]], [[Phil Collins]], [[Elton John]], and [[Billy Idol]]. Daltrey managed to complete the tour in spite of an abdominal ailment, for which he later received surgery.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Who This Month! 1989 |url=http://thewhothismonth.com/1989.html |website=Thewhothismonth.com}}</ref>

In 1996, Pete Townshend was approached to produce ''Quadrophenia'' for [[the Prince's Trust]] concert at [[Hyde Park, London|Hyde Park]], London. Daltrey agreed to help to produce a one-off performance, and the opera was to be performed with a large backing band. On the night before the show, Daltrey was struck in the face by a microphone stand swung by [[Gary Glitter]] and the accident fractured his [[Orbit (anatomy)|eye socket]]. There was concern that he might not be able to perform, but Daltrey covered the bruises with an eye patch and completed the show as scheduled. Townshend took the production on tour in 1996–97 as the Who.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Wilkerson |first1=Mark |title=Who Are You: The Life of Pete Townshend |date=2009 |publisher=Omnibus Press}}</ref>

After the success of the ''Quadrophenia'' tour, the band returned as the Who with a five-piece line-up for tours in 1999–2000, and they made a major impact at [[the Concert for New York City]] in 2002. After Entwistle's death in June 2002, Daltrey and Townshend decided to continue with an already planned tour, with bass player [[Pino Palladino]] taking Entwistle's place. They also completed a brief tour in 2004. In 2006, they released the Who's first studio album of new material in twenty-four years, ''[[Endless Wire (The Who album)|Endless Wire]]'', which led to suggestions that the much-discussed artistic tension in the Who lay between Daltrey and Townshend. The band undertook a world tour in 2006–07 in support of the album.<ref>{{cite magazine |last1=Fricke |first1=David |title=Endless Wire |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-album-reviews/endless-wire-200339/ |magazine=Rolling Stone |access-date=4 July 2020}}</ref>

In February 2010, Townshend and Daltrey, headlining as the Who, performed the half-time show at [[Super Bowl XLIV]] in [[Miami]], Florida, and were seen by 105.97 million viewers across the world. In March 2010, Townshend and Daltrey, with an extensive backing band, performed ''Quadrophenia'' at the [[Royal Albert Hall]] in London as a tenth-anniversary charity benefit for the [[Teenage Cancer Trust]].  [[Eddie Vedder]] of [[Pearl Jam]] sang the part of the Godfather and [[Tom Meighan]] of [[Kasabian]] sang the part of Aceface.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/photos/live/958782/eddie-vedder-guests-at-who-london-show |title=Eddie Vedder Guests at Who London Show |access-date=28 April 2010 |author=Smirke, Richard |date=31 March 2010 |magazine=Billboard}}</ref>
