The Who... Exactly! Norwich music photographer captures iconic performance from front of stage The chance to hone the cameras onto Roger Daltrey and Pete Townsend as they headline with the ROYAL PHILHARMONIC CONCERT ORCHESTRA would be a good assignment But the chance for a Norwich Music Photography Business to capture the shots on their own doorstep and on the Royal Sandringham Estate, was always going to be one of the Blanc Creative's Music highlights of 2023. Norwich Music Photographer Lee Blanchflower had been on site all weekend capturing the huge crowds who flocked to see the likes of Robbie Williams, Mark Owen and The Lightning Seeds on the Royal Estate. The momentous outdoor summer show was special finale to their 2023 The Who Hits Back! UK tour, and was part of the first extensive live music events to be held at the Royal Sandringham Estate, presented by Heritage Live. The concert would be made even more memorable by the appearance of Richard Ashcrfoft, special guest and support act for the evening. It would be the only show on their 2023 tour that saw The Who perform alongside the iconic Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra.   Imagery;Norwich Music Photographer, Lee Blanchflower In a stunning display of timeless talent and energy, Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey and band performed a lively set, of music from throughout the band’s nearly 60-year career, including sections devoted to cla sic albums Tommy and Quadrophenia as well as other beloved Who tracks. They included songs from their 2019 WHO album, their first studio release in 13 years, captivated audiences with a spectacular performance that defied the years, set against the majestic scenery of a royal estate in Norfolk. While Robbie Williams may have initially drawn the crowds over the weekend, by the time Bank Holiday Monday rolled around, it was clear that the legendary British rock band, led by Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend, had effortlessly claimed the spotlight. At this noteworthy event, The Who demonstrated that age holds no barrier to delivering a powerful and dynamic show. The band, originating from the vibrant music scene of the mid-1960s, treated fans to a memorable performance that felt as fresh and electrifying as ever. Daltrey, clad in his iconic white shirt, blue jeans, and sunglasses, commanded the stage with the confidence and charisma of a performer in his prime, his powerful voice soaring as he masterfully swung his microphone with the finesse of a seasoned performer. Pete Townshend, ever the showman, complemented Daltrey's vigorous performance with his own, dressed in a blue jacket, his signature dark shades, and a hat. His guitar playing was nothing short of mesmerizing, his arms twirling with the energy and passion of a man possessed, delivering solo after solo that left the audience spellbound. The concert, which lasted for an impressive two hours, saw The Who delve into their extensive repertoire of hits, backed by the Heart of England Philharmonic Orchestra. The ensemble, which included Zak Starkey on drums, added a rich, full-bodied sound that elevated the performance. Classics like "Pinball Wizard," "The Kids Are Alright," "You Better You Bet," "Substitute," "I Can't Explain," and the anthem "My Generation" were just some of the hits that had the crowd singing along.

Despite acknowledging their advancing years, with Daltrey humorously noting their near dependence on hearing aids, the band's performance was anything but a nod to nostalgia. Instead, it was a vibrant, living proof of their continuing relevance and undiminished skill. Townshend's brief departure to adjust his hearing aid did little to dampen the spirit; it only added to the authenticity and relatability of the show.
