The concert is a polite form of self induced torture.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Solo concerts are murder, I find; I don't like doing them.
What the Who is all about is exactly that and it always has been. If it exists today for this concert, it's in response again to a function which is happening out there on the street.
If you've never been to one of my concerts. I want you to know that it is OK to scream and yell.
I sometimes think that theatre is a torture.
It is good medicine to go to a concert hall and forget the harshness of what's going on. It can be a very positive thing.
For a long time, I couldn't actually deal with playing concerts; it was a totally alien concept to me, 'cause I was used to playing in clubs and dance halls.
If the audience walks out of a concert thinking, What a wonderful experience, then we have done our job.
I cannot give a single concert at which I do not play one piece after the other in an agony of terror because my memory threatens to fail me. This fear torments me for days beforehand.
I've been told by a lot of people after concerts that they felt the show was just for them. And I try to make it that way.
I love pulling people into concert halls who might not otherwise go and getting their ears tuned.
