The Who's Tommy Orchestral
The Who's Tommy Orchestral is a live album by English rock singer Roger Daltrey, performing The Who's 1969 album Tommy alongside members of The Who touring band and a symphony orchestra conducted by Keith Levenson. It was recorded in July 2018 in Bethel, New York, at the site of the original Woodstock festival, during a US tour of the concert. Later, in February 2019, Levenson directed and recorded the Budapest Scoring Orchestra in Budapest with new arrangements from David Campbell, to add a new orchestral backing to the album. The album was released by Polydor on 14 June 2019 to mark the 50th anniversary of the original recording, as a vinyl 2-LP set and a single CD. The track list presents the original studio album almost exactly, with the only changes being it missing "Underture", and a slightly different order. According to Daltrey "[the album is] played as a structured piece of music that is written and respected just as we respect the great composers of the past". The cover was designed by Richard Evans.
