The Who, Jeff Beck Play Benefit Concert

The Who were joined by Richard Ashcroft (formerly of The Verve), Debbie Harry and Jeff Beck for a concert last night at the HMV Hammersmith Apollo in London. All proceeds benefited the Killing Cancer charity.

If you want to watch some of the videos from the concert, click the label below, "Concert for Killing Cancer."

From what I have gathered Richard Ashcroft did four acoustic songs. Roger Daltrey then did "Freedom Ride" and "Gimme a Stone" with Simon Townshend on guitar/mandolin, Jody Linscott on percussion and Billy Nichols on backing vocals.

Bryan Adams setlist was made up of "Run to You,” “Cuts Like a Knife,” "When You’re Gone," which he did a duet with a woman that is a cancer survivor and “Straight From the Heart.”

Jef Beck's setlist consisted of "Beck's Bolero" and a cover of The Beatles' "Day in the Life." He was backed by The Who's touring band: John "Rabbit" Bundrick, Zak Starkey, Pino Palladino and Simon Townshend.

Debbie Harry performed ”Heart of Glass” and “Call Me” with Beck playing guitar on both songs. Beck then left the stage and Harry finished her set with "One Way or Another."

The Who took the stage next and performed "Baba O'Riley," "Who Are You" and "Won't Get Fooled Again."

Daltrey and Beck then played "Mannish Boy."

The show ended with everyone singing "Join Together."
