Dante DiCarlo – guitarist in tribute band Who's Next

Dante DiCarlo talks about the origins of tribute band Who’s Next and how he came to join, learning to play Who songs and improvise in Pete Townshend’s style, how a website competition helped him perfect the windmill, warnings from nurses at Who’s Next gigs, balancing a tribute band and other musical ventures, and his connection with The Who on a deeply personal level. Plus: Paul goes to the Cavern Club in Liverpool to see Who’s Next for the first time and nearly breaks his phone in the process.Music by The Garage Become a TATW MemberSupport us with a one-off or monthly donationFacebookBlueskyInstagramYouTubeRELATED LINKS Buy tickets for Who’s Next at the 100 Club (featuring Paul interviewing Dante DiCarlo)The Who: Album by Album – Dante DiCarlo’s new bookWho’s Next tribute bandWebsiteFacebook Instagram The Who’s North American farewell tour datesWho’s Next – ‘Baba O’Riley’ The Cavern Club, Liverpool, 2025 Who’s Best – ‘Heaven and Hell’ 2010 Who ConventionDante’s ‘How to windmill’ video‘Won’t Get Fooled Again’ Live Aid, 1985‘Won’t Get Fooled Again’ Shepperton, 1978‘Baba O’Riley’ Shepperton, 1978‘Baba O’Riley’ Charlton, 1974Pete falling on his guitar Hamburg, 1972Vince Lightning & The Thunderboltz‘The Girls I Could’ve Had’ Hosted on Acast.
