Concert Tour Gossip
                           Week of June 17, 1996


                 DR. JIMMY, Mr. Jim, plus the punk and the godfather will all
                 meet at Madison Square Garden as the only North American
                 performances of The Who's QUADROPHENIA take place July
                 16th, 17th & 18th. Metropolitan Entertainment Group's John
                 Scher, which will produce the event, and long-time Who manager
                 Bill Curbishley announced the shows in a joint statement last
                 week. Along with performances by Peter Townshend, Roger
                 Daltrey, and John Entwistle, Zak Starkey will be playing drums.
                 The production promises extensive film and video effects,
plus          a number of guest performers to be announced at a later date.

Tickets for this special event are first being offered to American
Express cardholders. Priced at $65, $40, and $30, tickets will be
available by phone for cardmembers only starting June 17th. If
tickets are still available two days later, the remainder will go on
 sale to the general public, via Ticketmaster on June 19th. The only
other performance of Quadrophenia is set to take place June 29th
in London's Hyde Park as a benefit for the Prince's Trust. That
all-star performance sold 150,000 tickets in less than 48 hours.
