Substitute rocked an entire set of The Who and played as if they were the original rock & roll hall of fame act ... a high energy show, very informative two-page rider, and classy guys to work with from all production perspectives.
The audience loved it; I wish all acts had it together like these guys do.

Substitute: Tales from the Who delivered a concert with all the energy and excitement of the original band. The huge crowd sang along with hit after hit. Those at the concert have been asking to have the band back again next year!
Substitute gave the audience everything they expected and much more.
Substitute: Tales From The Who performed an absolutely spectacular show and was a highlight of our concert series this year.
They were professional and have clearly studied The Who closely. They are the next best thing to The Who themselves!
