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.
