=== 1996β1997 tour === In June 1996, Daltrey, Townshend and Entwistle revived ''Quadrophenia'' as a live concert. They performed at [[Hyde Park, London]] as part of the [[Prince's Trust]] "Masters of Music" benefit concert, playing most of the album for the first time since 1974. The concert was not billed as the Who, but credited to the three members individually. The performance also included [[Gary Glitter]] as the Godfather, [[Phil Daniels]] as the Narrator and Jimmy, [[Trevor MacDonald]] as the newsreader, [[Ade Edmondson|Adrian Edmondson]] as the Bell Boy and [[Stephen Fry]] as the hotel manager. The musical lineup included Townshend's brother [[Simon Townshend|Simon]], [[Zak Starkey]] on drums (his first appearance with the Who), guitarists [[David Gilmour]] (who played the bus driver) and [[Geoff Whitehorn]], keyboardists [[John "Rabbit" Bundrick]] and [[Jon Carin]], percussionist [[Jody Linscott]], [[Billy Nicholls]] leading a two-man/two-woman backing vocal section, and five brass players. During rehearsals, Daltrey was struck in the face by Glitter's microphone stand, and performed the concert wearing an [[eyepatch]].{{sfn|McMichael|Lyons|2011|pp=820β821}} A subsequent tour of the US and UK followed, employing most of the same players but with [[Billy Idol]] replacing Edmondson,{{sfn|McMichael|Lyons|2011|p=822}} Simon Townshend replacing Gilmour and [[P. J. Proby]] replacing Glitter during the second half of the tour. 85,000 fans saw the ensemble perform ''Quadrophenia'' at [[Madison Square Garden]] over six nights in July 1996.{{sfn|McMichael|Lyons|2011|p=823}} A recording from the tour was subsequently released in 2005 as part of ''[[Tommy and Quadrophenia Live]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/tommy-and-quadrophenia-live-dvd-mw0001145902|title=Tommy and Quadrophenia: Live|publisher=[[AllMusic]]|access-date=9 February 2015|archive-date=29 July 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140729013649/http://www.allmusic.com/album/tommy-and-quadrophenia-live-dvd-mw0001145902|url-status=live}}</ref>
