Roger Daltrey Plays Who Anthem With Robert Plant and Eddie Vedder

Robert
Plant
and

Eddie
Vedder
joined

Roger
Daltrey
onstage
Sunday
for
a
rendition
of
the

Who’s
“Baba
O’Riley”
at
London’s
Royal
Albert
Hall,
providing
a
rousing
finale
to
the
annual
Teenage
Cancer
Trust
benefit.

You
can
watch
video
of
the
performance
below.

Sunday’s “Ovation”
concert
marked
the
end
of
the
weeklong
musical
festivities
and
the
end
of
Daltrey’s
24-year
tenure
as
curator
of
the
Teenage
Cancer
Trust.
This
year’s
lineup
featured
Plant
(with
Saving
Grace),
Vedder,

Squeeze,

Noel
Gallagher’s
High
Flying
Birds
and
the
Who,
among
others.

Pete
Townshend
was
originally
scheduled
to
perform
at
“Ovation”
but
instead
had
to head
to
New
York
to
promote
the
Broadway
reopening
of


Tommy.
(Daltrey
opened
his
set
with
a
cover
of
Townshend’s
“Let
My
Love
Open
the
Door.”)

At
the
end
of
the
“Baba
O’Riley”
performance
—
which
also
featured
singer-songwriter
Glen
Hansard
and
Stereophonics
lead
singer
Kelly
Jones
— Daltrey
saluted
the
“unsung
heroes”
of
the
event
and
talked
about
the
importance
of
the
Teenage
Cancer
Trust.

“I’m
not
going
away
from
the
Teenage
Cancer
Trust,”
he
announced.
“I’ve
completed
the
job
I
set
out
to
do.
We’re
gonna
get
curators
to
do
a
year
rather
than try
and
do
another
20
years.
Talk
about
nerve-racking.
But
I’ve
got
other
work
to
do
for
the
charity
that
is
more
important,
because
we
live
in
a
day
where
our
NHS
[National
Health
Service],
everyone
knows,
is
very
questionable
—
even
surviving.
We
are
part
of
that
service,
though
we
are
a
charity.
…
If
the
NHS
goes
down,
I
want
to
make
sure
this
charity
doesn’t
go
down
with
it.”
