The Who - Join Together

Back in January, The Who performed at the "Concert for Killing Cancer" charity show. The "Join Together" finale included The Who with Debbie Harry, Bryan Adams and Jeff Beck and features a classic "Pete Townshend" moment at around the 5:08 mark. I'm not sure if he is referring to the crowd singing "Join Together" or to something else that he is not pleased with.

I've watched this video several times now and mostly focus on the exchanges between Pete and Jeff Beck. But there is another notable exchange which occurs around the 1:50 mark, Bryan Adams comes over to ask Roger Daltrey for help because he has forgotten the words. Daltrey, who appears to be a pretty good-natured person in general, helps Adams out with some cheat sheets that are on the stage.

Oh well, it's for charity so what can you do.

Roger Daltrey - Gimme A Stone

Roger Daltrey plays a song which has become a staple of his solo sets. This time, Daltrey does "Gimme a Stone" at the "Concert for Killing Cancer" benefit show.

The Who - Won't Get Fooled Again (2011)

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."

Roger Daltrey - Freedom Ride

Roger Daltrey played two songs at last night's benefit concert at the Hammersmith Apollo in London. The above video is Roger and his band playing "Freedom Ride." They also played "Gimme a Stone." Both songs come off of the album Largo. Roger is a big fan of the 1998 album which started as recording sessions for a new Hooters album but evolved into a collaboration between The Hooters and guest artists such as Taj Mahal, Levon Helm, Garth Hudson, Joan Osborne, The Chieftains, Carole King, Cyndi Lauper, David Forman, and Willie Nile.
