Daltrey has always had one of the best voices in Rock, so honest!

[georgelewis]

Roger is such a musical treasure, plus the guy doesn't age, Still rockin!

[Maridun]

Being a rock-legend - Roger Daltrey also seems like a really nice guy - a fine man. Lots of humour.

[estebannemo]

Great, great talent coming out of the U.K. during the 60s. Beatles, Stones, The Who, Kinks, Led Zep. Never to repeated again. Nothing even remotely comparable in music today.

I never saw many interviews with Roger. I always had it in my mind that he was very serious. Every time I see him interviewed now he is smiling, joking and laughing. I love that.

[SueWho]

Roger Daltrey is the most amazing man. He is so gorgeous! It's hard to believe that so much perfection was put into one human! I got to meet him last week and he is the nicest person. I neglected to tell him how wonderful I think he is for all of his work with Teen Cancer America.

1:44 love how they ask about his relationship with Townsend and show picture with Moon.

[ltyr]

Even his speaking voice has this resonance that is beautiful.
The guy is amazing. My favorite rock singer by miles and miles!

[johnmccann]

Very down to earth Roger Daltry!Great great singer!Great to see you looking healthy and happy.💚

[johnheart]

It's great that they were able to professionalize their relationship, remain friends, and keep the music alive!

[gssheriff]

What a professional down to earth gentleman

[allbottledup]

“We’re closer today than we ever had been and having more fun.”
2:17 “Sex, drugs, and rock n roll!”
The way the anchor on the left looks at her is just comedy gold. I know she was moving to her next question but the timing is hysterical🤣🤣

[MrWallybones]

The Who were brilliant!!! pure genius. I have to say that Pete's songs are unsurpassed.

[stewartsanders]

I've meet Roger here in England a few years bk he's a great guy I got a pic with him an autograph and a 5 min talk and he shook my hand and wished me all the best Rogers a great guy 😎

[MrLaurak]

Love Roger, The Who, and the book. There was something good in the water in post ww2 Britain- so many talented bands

[timothyphillips]

What a great man. The best frontman ever. Saw them in the Brighton Centre in about 1980.

[JaLa]

I have his Book… I Really Enjoyed It! Thank you Roger ❤️🤍💙⬆️‼️

[charliehustle]

Roger Daltrey is so cool & an awesome interview !!

[ralphmarrone]

People always talk about The Beatles or the Stones or Led Zeppelin, but I’ll take The Who over them any day.

When Roger mentions making your own gear, I was dying to hear him mention Brian May. Brian has got to be far-and-away the most successful specimen of building your own guitar and taking it to the public. That was the same time that The Who “joined together”, and Brian was only seventeen when he and his father rounded out that axe of his.
It’s awesome to hear Roger say that Keith Moon was actually doing some of those hotels a favor because they were in need of upgrades to begin with. Totally charming way of letting his departed drummer off the hook for his shenanigans.

I would be a liar if I did not admit that The Who were at the core of my own decision to become a rock ‘n’ roll guitarist, even if I haven’t listened to most of their records yet. *Tommy* alone, coupled with their set at Woodstock, was a direct impact on me.
