"We're in the planning stages for next year," Daltrey said in a 30-minute interview on the band's official website. "We are planning on doing something. I can't really talk about specifics yet, but it will be based around a past work. I would like to be on the road playing as many different kind of shows as we could: maybe doing 'Quadrophenia' one night, do greatest hits the next night ... This is what I would like to do. And 'Tommy' ... if I could still sing 'Tommy'. That, to me, would be really good fun. And don't keep going out with the same show every night -- the audience would have to take a chance on what show they actually got."
The Who's legendary vocalist also revealed he wants to release a blues-themed album in 2011 and is hoping to recruit a high-profile guitarist like Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page. "I've always wanted to do something with Jimmy," Daltrey disclosed. "I mean, what the hell is he doing? It's a waste of talent -- he's a genius."
As for Townshend's writing efforts, Daltrey believes the famous guitarist is continuing to work on 'Floss,' the rock opera he initiated last year. The Who's last studio offering, 'Endless Wire,' was released in October 2006.

HOPE they sound better on the Tour than they did during the Half Time Show at the Super Bowl! I was disappointed by that performance! Yeah, I know that normally the sound on TV is garbage, but off a dish and using a top-quality home sound system, it still sounded HORRIBLE! (I'm a retired Sound Engineer and who ever was mixing that show didn't know what they were doing! Had to be a network engineer!)

tragic-I'd rather remember them when they were great. After the fiasco aat the Super Bowl last year I have tried to erase that from my mind.
Please guys stay home and don't embarrass yourselves again.

They were a GREAT band at one time but the Super Bowl was embarrasing. Please just let it go.

These "geezers" hit the road because other "geezers" still have money to spend on listening to them, remembering their own misspent youths.

Jimmie Page will never work with Daltrey now, he can't sing anymore.

I have never heard of these guys. My grandfather says he remembers them from when he was young but he dodn't know much about them. Why are they writing about these old geezers? There are so many young groups out there that we would much rather hear about. I speak for all of us when I say......STOP with the granddaddy music groups and start writing about the youn talented kids. They are the ones we are interested in. I think we can ALL agree on that.

And you are what? 12? LOL Not that there's anything wrong with that, but you obviously don't understand that there is music, and then there is MUSIC! Music is supposed to have some kind of melody (even though the Who might not be the best example of that LOL). Not a lot of today's music does anything but noise, and thankfully there are many young people who grew up listening and learning how to hear their own musical imaginings because of the "grandpas" of the past. Did you grow up in a very religious home, or maybe your family never really got into Rock 'n' Roll? Bet you guys don't remember or never heard of Pink Floyd or Peter Frampton either (1 group and 1 individual out of many FABULOUS and totally rockin 2010 "grandpas" ... more's the pity. One of the reasons rock 'n' roll is still alive is because of all the greats that experimented with the music in their heads and are indeed grandmas and grandpas now ... or we have lost them already. If you could pull out of your youthful arrogance for a minute, you might actually have the pleasure of hearing some of the greatest music of our time and any other time. Yes, indeed, some have lost their youthful stamina, voices and abilities with age, but many are still rockin' with the best of them. Just hope that you can get old enough someday to be referred to as a "grandpa" by someone, even if you don't rise to the Who's caliber of fame!
