On November 4, we got the chance to check out The Who. Never in my life did I think I’d have the opportunity to see these guys, let alone photograph!

For three hours, Roger Daltry and Pete Townsend, along with a full backing band and orchestra, took those in attendance at the Dolby Theater in Las Vegas on a wild ride of song after song, showcasing the band’s entire career.

Opening for the Who were The Wild Things, who delivered a fantastic set, including songs written with members of The Who. The female fronted band is one that if you missed, I highly suggest you check out.

The Wild things.

Roger Daltry and Pete Townsend did not waiver in their performance at all. For a band that has been rocking the world for the past six (yes, SIX) decades, it was incredible. Their chemistry on the stage is still very much intact, and Daltry interacted with the crowd continuously throughout the show.

The highlight for me was their performance of “Love, Reign O’er Me”, which has been a favorite of mine for years and years.

If they come back around and you’ve not been able to catch them, they are must see!

The who.

Stephanie " Stephy " Muzio (formerly Hayward) - Public Relations / Writer/ Photographer and Co-Founder of ZRockR Magazine Co-host of ZRockR Magazine LIVE! Stephy was raised on rock and roll. Originally from Illinois, Stephy is the daughter of an aspiring metal guitarist and a former rock n roll radio dj. Stephy’s first concert at the tender age of 8 was Rob Zombie at the original Joint inside the Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas, where she happily threw horns up and sang along to "Dragula" with the best of them ( she incidentally loves horror films too!) . She performed with the VGA choir at the 2007 Video Game Awards show at Mandalay Bay when it was hosted by Samuel L Jackson, sharing the stage with the likes of Foo Fighters as well as Kid Rock. An LVA alum, when she isn’t singing or playing herself (she plays a few different instruments), she is out in support of the local scene and at her friends gigs around the southwest and even when she is back home in Illinois! She has written as well as done some photography previously for a couple of smaller zines including Vegas SoundZ when it was in print. Stephy takes the adage of ” If it’s too loud that is just too damn bad! ” to heart- after all- she was raised around screaming guitars, thunderous drums, production studios and only Led Zeppelin and Nirvana played extremely loud would put her to sleep as a kid! Stephy is a large part of the backbone of ZRockR.
