Roger Daltrey Concludes Teenage Cancer Trust Curatorship With “Baba O’Riley” Performance

Roger Daltrey, alongside Eddie Vedder and Robert Plant, delivered a memorable rendition of “Baba O’Riley” at the Royal Albert Hall, marking the culmination of his tenure as the Teenage Cancer Trust curator.

Grand Finale at Royal Albert Hall

Daltrey’s 24-year journey as the curator of the Teenage Cancer Trust came to a close with a spectacular ‘Ovation’ concert at London’s Royal Albert Hall. The event featured a star-studded lineup including Eddie Vedder, Robert Plant, Paul Weller, and Kelly Jones of the Stereophonics.

Unforgettable Performance

The highlight of the evening was Daltrey’s performance of the iconic 1971 Who classic, “Baba O’Riley,” where he was joined by a constellation of music stars including Vedder, Plant, Glen Hansard, Kelly Jones, Simon Townshend, and members of the Who’s touring band.

Daltrey’s Commitment to the Cause

Expressing his dedication to the Teenage Cancer Trust, Daltrey emphasized the importance of ongoing support amidst challenges faced by the healthcare system. He pledged continued involvement with the charity to ensure its resilience, especially in uncertain times for healthcare services like the NHS.

Special Moments and Collaborations

The concert was not short of magical moments, with Paul Weller inviting Daltrey on stage for a duet of the 1966 Who single “So Sad About Us.” Vedder also graced the stage earlier in the week, treating the audience to a set that included both solo tracks and collaborations, notably with his daughter Olivia Vedder.

Diverse Performances

Robert Plant’s group, Saving Grace, offered a mix of traditional tunes and a dip into Led Zeppelin’s repertoire. Meanwhile, Daltrey’s setlist featured a blend of solo hits, covers, and Who classics, setting the stage for his upcoming tour.

Looking Ahead

As Daltrey gears up for his solo tour starting in May, speculation looms about the future of The Who. Pete Townshend hinted at the possibility of a final world tour, hinting at the band’s enduring legacy.

The ‘Ovation’ concert not only marked the end of Daltrey’s curatorship but also served as a testament to the enduring spirit of rock and roll, bringing together legendary artists for a night of unforgettable performances in support of a vital cause.
