Daltrey Takes Student Tommy Visuals On Tour
Middlesex Uni students provide tour visuals for The Who\'s rock opera
Music News reports that Daltrey's acclaimed visuals on his tour, which wrapped up in Winnipeg last month, had been provided by students from Middlesex University.
The students from art, design and computing courses were selected after impressing Daltrey with their work created for a performance of Tommy at the Royal Albert Hall, London in March 2011, in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust. This later went on a UK tour of 15 venues. Daltrey's US Tour used some of the students' existing artwork and they also created several new pieces. Bringing together students from different courses enabled the project to benefit from a broader range of techniques and skills.Â
Roger Daltrey said: "I gave the students my ideas about how I perceive Tommy. The way I see it is that we're ALL Tommy. I told them to feel it from the inside. And the stuff they came up with is absolutely wonderful."
