ROGER DALTREY BLASTS NOISY FANS AND DOPE SMOKERS AT NYC GIG

The tough New York City fans were no match for Roger Daltrey, whose Use It Or Lose It tour hit the Nokia Theatre in the heart of Manhattan’s Times Square on Friday night (November 20th). The 2,100-strong crowd was clearly unimpressed with the sci-fi, retro cacophony of Daltrey’s young opening act Paper Zoo — who bravely soldered on against a vocally belligerent group of die-hard fans eager for a night of Whosongs.

Although Daltrey was good natured throughout the show, portions of the crowd grew impatient with his long between-song-banter. Daltrey was forced to pause during several of his introductions to tell the noisy crowd to shut up, and at one point lost his cool, shouting, “Do you wanna f***ing come up here and I’ll teach you how to really shout? You’re f***ing selfish.” Daltrey also had to urge members of the audience to stop smoking pot several times due to the fact that he sadly is now allergic to it and the smoke tends to constrict his vocal cords. He had to remind the tokers several times to take it easy with the smoke which was making its way onto the stage.
