Roger Daltrey
Fifteen years after the inaugural concert in support of charity Teenage Cancer Trust at the Royal Albert Hall billed as ‘The Who and Friends’, the Roger Daltrey-curated concert series continues into 2015 with headline concerts by some of those same ‘Friends’ who joined the band in 2000 including Kelly Jones-fronted rockers Stereophonics, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds and Paul Weller. And while Daltrey’s own band haven’t played a show every year of those fifteen they were back in force as they play their own series of ‘The Who hits 50’ shows which the frontman has described as “the beginning of the long goodbye”.
Given that the concert series has raised over £20m over those fifteen years allowing Teenage Cancer Trust to provide facilities across the country catered specifically towards teenagers battling cancer, it’s a mission that has likely exceeded the initial goals of that first concert.
So it was disappointing to see the TCT message largely lost on an audience for the first time in all of the shows I have attended as part of the series over the years, largely down to emcee for the evening Tim Lovejoy who first attempted to engage the audience during an interval between the performances of Wilko Johnson and The Who while reading flatly from a script and picking on a specific audience member who was unfortunate enough to be in both close proximity to the Sunday Brunch host and still in his seat.
A film shot at a TCT ward in Birmingham brought home the message stressing just how important the work they do is. And all was redeemed when curator and The Who frontman Roger Daltrey appered on stage with teenagers who had benefited from work of the Teenage Cancer Trust on wards in Manchester and London. “I’ll be back shortly” Daltrey quipped as he departed, “just gotta do my hair”.
For a band formed in 1964, it’s not surprising that only two of the original line-up remains, but what legends lead singer Roger Daltrey and guitarist-songwriter Pete Townshend are. Joining them on drums was former Oasis drummer Zak Starkey – son of Beatles drummer Ringo Star, Welsh blues rock bassist and John Mayer trio man Pino Palladino along with original guitarist Townshend’s younger brother Simon Townshend, also on guitars. The sound was rounded out by no less than three keyboard players.
While 71-year-old Daltrey and 69-year-old Townshend may not bound around the stage with quite the dexterity of Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who are also both 71, Daltrey was still determined to demonstrate his enthusiasm and energy, bursting back onto the Royal Albert Hall stage before launching into their first single as The Who, I Can’t Explain. Hit single Substitute was next, these two being staple show openers for The Who since 1971.
There was good banter from both Daltrey and Pete Townshend throughout the night, particularly between the two with Townshend living up to his miserable and grumpy image through smiles. The aging rockers came across more as a pair of bickering old geezers, eliciting laughs from the crowd. At one point the pair referenced being banned from the Royal Albert Hall in the past on two separate occasions. Townshend addressed the audience and said “If you weren’t such a bunch of c***s I’d tell you all about it!” He then started describing next song Pictures of Lily but stopped short saying “if you’ve seen The Inbetweeners, you’ll know what it’s about”.
An era theme song in its own right, single My Generation was next and it didn’t for a second seem out of place in a set performed by a band in their seventies.
By the middle of the set, the enthused crowd who had been on their feet from the beginning of the set started to wane a little, with some returning to their seats. Townshend then alluded to previous tours of Rock Opera record Quadrophenia and introduced I’m One on which he took over lead vocal duties, requesting of the audience “you have to imagine I’m 16 and having a bad day”.
Townshend also spoke of inventing the Rock Opera and attending the last Rolling Stones show with their original line-up before Brian Jones’ passing claiming “we were a better crowd for The Stones than you lot”.
All four songs now used as theme music for the various CSI television shows were played including set closers Baba O’Riley and Won’t Get Fooled Again from 1971 record Who’s Next, featuring Daltrey’s guttural scream which was once described as "the greatest scream of a career filled with screams".
While this is most certainly a group playing a greatest hits set while reflecting on an impressive career which has spanned across five decades, it’s surprising just how much energy the veteran rockers still retain in their live performance even in the more subdued setting of The Royal Albert Hall.

"Ever since I was a young boy
I've played the silver ball
From Soho down to Brighton
I must have played them all
But I ain't seen nothing like him
In any amusement hall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball
He stands like a statue
Becomes part of the machine
Feeling all the bumpers
Always playing clean
He plays by intuition
The digit counters fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball
He's a pinball wizard
There's got to be a twist
A pinball wizard
He's got such a supple wrist
How do you think he does it?
(I don't know)
What makes him so good?
He ain't got no distractions
Can't hear those buzzers and bells
Don't see lights a flashin'
Plays by sense of smell
Always gets a replay
Never tilts at all
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball
I thought I was
The Bally table king
But I just handed
My pinball crown to him
Even on my usual table
He can beat my best
His disciples lead him in
And he just does the rest
He's got crazy flipper fingers
Never seen him fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball."

I sat in awe of his performance. How can he be better than he was in 1971, or is it me? He is my favorite all time guitar
I was near Narni, shooting for the previous image, and I took another picture of this fuel pump. People was looking at me in strange ways, like I was a sort of terrorist...
"I went back to the doctor
To get another shrink.
I have to tell him about my weekend,
But he never betrays what he thinks.
Can you see the real me doctor?
I went back to my mother
I said, "I'm crazy ma, help me."
She said, "I know how it feels son,
'Cos it runs in the family."
Can you see the real me, mother?
The cracks between the paving stones
Look like rivers of flowing veins.
Strange people who know me
Peeping from behind every window pane.
The girl I used to love
Lives in this yellow house.
Yesterday she passed me by,
She doesn't want to know me now.
Can you see the real me, can you?
I went to the holy man,
Full of lies and hate,
I seemed to scare him a little
So he showed me to the golden gate.
Can you see the real me preacher?
Can you see the real me doctor?
Can you see the real me mother?
Can you see the real me me me me me me."
(The Who - "The Real Me")
sea and...... what? - fans of the Who will know - here's the story - it wasn't any of the Who that I was reminded of when I lined this one up - it was Paul Weller and the revamped mod style of skinny cardy over a t-shirt - and mod style brings us back to the Who's Sea and Sand
"I am the face,
She has to know me,
I'm dressed up better than anyone
Within a mile"
don't think designer stubble was part of the look though ;-)

I have put up some more rock and pop art on my living room walls. I still have more to go and I need to unpack my books and find all my old CD's. Everything here has great memories for me. Not the best photos but who cares
The Who and Jimi Hendrix came together at the Monterey Pop Festival. There was some controversy about who would go on first and steal the other act's thunder. The Who thought they won the coin toss and went on first. But Jimi had the last laugh. He destroyed his guitar with the aid of some Ronson and a zippo lighter.
The moment in history was immortalized in this outrageous special issue:

We used cool stickers and tee-shirts like these to promote the idssue:

Some more history:
The Who
Although already a big act in the UK, and now gaining some attention in the US after playing some New York dates two months earlier, The Who were propelled into the American mainstream at Monterey. The band used rented Vox amps for their set, which were not as powerful as their regular Sound City amps which they had left in England to save shipping costs. At the end of their frenetic performance of "My Generation", the audience was stunned as guitarist Pete Townshend smashed his guitar, smoke bombs exploded behind the amps and frightened concert staff rushed onstage to retrieve expensive microphones. At the end of the mayhem, drummer Keith Moon kicked over his drum kit as the band exited the stage. The Who, after winning a coin toss, performed before Jimi Hendrix, as Townshend and Hendrix each refused to go on after the other, both having planned instrument-demolishing conclusions to their respective sets.
The Jimi Hendrix Experience
Hendrix ended his Monterey performance with an unpredictable version of "Wild Thing", which he capped by kneeling over his guitar, pouring lighter fluid over it, setting it on fire, and then smashing it in to the stage seven times before throwing its remains into the audience. This produced wild, unpredictable sounds, and these actions contributed to his rising popularity in the United States.
From Lou Adler's book:
Lou Adler’s legendary ‘Monterey Pop’ festival is the subject of a brand new coffee table book release called ‘A Perfect Haze,’ which features a foreword by Adler, and personal recollections from a number of performers who appeared at the event, which occurred prior to Woodstock in June of 1967.
The performance by Jimi Hendrix was unquestionably a highlight of the event (and man, don’t we wish we had a time travel machine to go back for that) and recalling that weekend, Pete Townshend of the Who set the record straight on the supposed “jam” that he shared with Jimi.
Townshend says “I’ve heard Roger talk about it as a jam session, but it wasn’t a jam session. It was just Jimi on a chair playing at me. Playing at me like ‘Don’t f—k with me, you little sh-t.’” (Townshend’s comments previously appeared in ‘The History of Rock and Roll’ documentary.)
The musical quarrel came down to Townshend’s insecurity over The Who playing after Jimi Hendrix at Monterey, a gig that he considered to be a “critical concert.” Attempting to negotiate with Jimi didn’t go well, as Hendrix said “that’s not what you really mean. What you really mean is that you don’t want me to go first. You want to be first up there with the guitar smashing,” to which Townshend replied “Jimi, I swear, that’s not what it’s about.”
In the end, the discussion cooled down and Hendrix suggested a coin toss to determine who would go first and The Who came out on the winning side of that toss.
Watching Hendrix’s performance later from the crowd with Mama Cass, she told Townshend, “he’s stealing your act” and Townshend said “no, he’s not stealing my act – he’s doing my act.” Explaining further, Townshend says “for me, it was an act and for him, it was something else. It was an extension of what he was doing.”

Roger Daltrey
Fifteen years after the inaugural concert in support of charity Teenage Cancer Trust at the Royal Albert Hall billed as ‘The Who and Friends’, the Roger Daltrey-curated concert series continues into 2015 with headline concerts by some of those same ‘Friends’ who joined the band in 2000 including Kelly Jones-fronted rockers Stereophonics, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds and Paul Weller. And while Daltrey’s own band haven’t played a show every year of those fifteen they were back in force as they play their own series of ‘The Who hits 50’ shows which the frontman has described as “the beginning of the long goodbye”.
Given that the concert series has raised over £20m over those fifteen years allowing Teenage Cancer Trust to provide facilities across the country catered specifically towards teenagers battling cancer, it’s a mission that has likely exceeded the initial goals of that first concert.
So it was disappointing to see the TCT message largely lost on an audience for the first time in all of the shows I have attended as part of the series over the years, largely down to emcee for the evening Tim Lovejoy who first attempted to engage the audience during an interval between the performances of Wilko Johnson and The Who while reading flatly from a script and picking on a specific audience member who was unfortunate enough to be in both close proximity to the Sunday Brunch host and still in his seat.
A film shot at a TCT ward in Birmingham brought home the message stressing just how important the work they do is. And all was redeemed when curator and The Who frontman Roger Daltrey appered on stage with teenagers who had benefited from work of the Teenage Cancer Trust on wards in Manchester and London. “I’ll be back shortly” Daltrey quipped as he departed, “just gotta do my hair”.
For a band formed in 1964, it’s not surprising that only two of the original line-up remains, but what legends lead singer Roger Daltrey and guitarist-songwriter Pete Townshend are. Joining them on drums was former Oasis drummer Zak Starkey – son of Beatles drummer Ringo Star, Welsh blues rock bassist and John Mayer trio man Pino Palladino along with original guitarist Townshend’s younger brother Simon Townshend, also on guitars. The sound was rounded out by no less than three keyboard players.
While 71-year-old Daltrey and 69-year-old Townshend may not bound around the stage with quite the dexterity of Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who are also both 71, Daltrey was still determined to demonstrate his enthusiasm and energy, bursting back onto the Royal Albert Hall stage before launching into their first single as The Who, I Can’t Explain. Hit single Substitute was next, these two being staple show openers for The Who since 1971.
There was good banter from both Daltrey and Pete Townshend throughout the night, particularly between the two with Townshend living up to his miserable and grumpy image through smiles. The aging rockers came across more as a pair of bickering old geezers, eliciting laughs from the crowd. At one point the pair referenced being banned from the Royal Albert Hall in the past on two separate occasions. Townshend addressed the audience and said “If you weren’t such a bunch of c***s I’d tell you all about it!” He then started describing next song Pictures of Lily but stopped short saying “if you’ve seen The Inbetweeners, you’ll know what it’s about”.
An era theme song in its own right, single My Generation was next and it didn’t for a second seem out of place in a set performed by a band in their seventies.
By the middle of the set, the enthused crowd who had been on their feet from the beginning of the set started to wane a little, with some returning to their seats. Townshend then alluded to previous tours of Rock Opera record Quadrophenia and introduced I’m One on which he took over lead vocal duties, requesting of the audience “you have to imagine I’m 16 and having a bad day”.
Townshend also spoke of inventing the Rock Opera and attending the last Rolling Stones show with their original line-up before Brian Jones’ passing claiming “we were a better crowd for The Stones than you lot”.
All four songs now used as theme music for the various CSI television shows were played including set closers Baba O’Riley and Won’t Get Fooled Again from 1971 record Who’s Next, featuring Daltrey’s guttural scream which was once described as "the greatest scream of a career filled with screams".
While this is most certainly a group playing a greatest hits set while reflecting on an impressive career which has spanned across five decades, it’s surprising just how much energy the veteran rockers still retain in their live performance even in the more subdued setting of The Royal Albert Hall.

While 71-year-old Daltrey and 69-year-old Townshend may not bound around the stage with quite the dexterity of Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who are also both 71, Daltrey was still determined to demonstrate his enthusiasm and energy, bursting back onto the Royal Albert Hall stage before launching into their first single as The Who, I Can’t Explain. Hit single Substitute was next, these two being staple show openers for The Who since 1971.
There was good banter from both Daltrey and Pete Townshend throughout the night, particularly between the two with Townshend living up to his miserable and grumpy image through smiles. The aging rockers came across more as a pair of bickering old geezers, eliciting laughs from the crowd. At one point the pair referenced being banned from the Royal Albert Hall in the past on two separate occasions. Townshend addressed the audience and said “If you weren’t such a bunch of c***s I’d tell you all about it!” He then started describing next song Pictures of Lily but stopped short saying “if you’ve seen The Inbetweeners, you’ll know what it’s about”.
An era theme song in its own right, single My Generation was next and it didn’t for a second seem out of place in a set performed by a band in their seventies.
By the middle of the set, the enthused crowd who had been on their feet from the beginning of the set started to wane a little, with some returning to their seats. Townshend then alluded to previous tours of Rock Opera record Quadrophenia and introduced I’m One on which he took over lead vocal duties, requesting of the audience “you have to imagine I’m 16 and having a bad day”.
Townshend also spoke of inventing the Rock Opera and attending the last Rolling Stones show with their original line-up before Brian Jones’ passing claiming “we were a better crowd for The Stones than you lot”.
All four songs now used as theme music for the various CSI television shows were played including set closers Baba O’Riley and Won’t Get Fooled Again from 1971 record Who’s Next, featuring Daltrey’s guttural scream which was once described as "the greatest scream of a career filled with screams".
While this is most certainly a group playing a greatest hits set while reflecting on an impressive career which has spanned across five decades, it’s surprising just how much energy the veteran rockers still retain in their live performance even in the more subdued setting of The Royal Albert Hall.

Pete Townshend
Fifteen years after the inaugural concert in support of charity Teenage Cancer Trust at the Royal Albert Hall billed as ‘The Who and Friends’, the Roger Daltrey-curated concert series continues into 2015 with headline concerts by some of those same ‘Friends’ who joined the band in 2000 including Kelly Jones-fronted rockers Stereophonics, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds and Paul Weller. And while Daltrey’s own band haven’t played a show every year of those fifteen they were back in force as they play their own series of ‘The Who hits 50’ shows which the frontman has described as “the beginning of the long goodbye”.
Given that the concert series has raised over £20m over those fifteen years allowing Teenage Cancer Trust to provide facilities across the country catered specifically towards teenagers battling cancer, it’s a mission that has likely exceeded the initial goals of that first concert.
So it was disappointing to see the TCT message largely lost on an audience for the first time in all of the shows I have attended as part of the series over the years, largely down to emcee for the evening Tim Lovejoy who first attempted to engage the audience during an interval between the performances of Wilko Johnson and The Who while reading flatly from a script and picking on a specific audience member who was unfortunate enough to be in both close proximity to the Sunday Brunch host and still in his seat.
A film shot at a TCT ward in Birmingham brought home the message stressing just how important the work they do is. And all was redeemed when curator and The Who frontman Roger Daltrey appered on stage with teenagers who had benefited from work of the Teenage Cancer Trust on wards in Manchester and London. “I’ll be back shortly” Daltrey quipped as he departed, “just gotta do my hair”.
For a band formed in 1964, it’s not surprising that only two of the original line-up remains, but what legends lead singer Roger Daltrey and guitarist-songwriter Pete Townshend are. Joining them on drums was former Oasis drummer Zak Starkey – son of Beatles drummer Ringo Star, Welsh blues rock bassist and John Mayer trio man Pino Palladino along with original guitarist Townshend’s younger brother Simon Townshend, also on guitars.

The Who, ‘Live At Leeds’, 1970. The ‘Orrible ‘Oo! Rated still as one of the best live albums ever. 50 years old and it still kicks thunder out of the speakers. The Who had been touring their previous album, ’Tommy’, for a year and were a tight, drilled force by the time this was recorded on Valentine’s Day 1970. It’s just bass, guitar, drums and Daltrey’s voice, but it sounds like an army rampaging. ‘Young Man Blues’ kicks it off. An old Mose Allison tune. The original was a jazzy blues and was the basis for the Who’s ‘My Generation’. It’s all stop/start dynamics with Keith Moon drums exploding and Townshend’s hands a riffing blur. ‘Substitute’ follows, their mid Sixties power pop single made bigger, Moon’s drums filling in all the spaces. ‘Summertime Blues’ the old Eddie Cochran tune turned into power chords and Rock Pig workout, Entwistle’s bass fast and furious. Blue Cheer had already done a proto-Heavy Metal version of the tune and it was fashionable then for bands to take ‘old’ rock n roll tunes and give them a modern kicking. Coming straight out of this the band launch into Johnny Kidd & The Pirates’ ‘Shakin’ All Over’. The original riff gets expanded and the band jam with big slashing chords, dirty lead guitar and Moon’s drums tight and sloppy simultaneously. It out-Zeppelin’s Led Zeppelin in its heaviosity, man. Side 2 is mainly a 15-minute version of ‘My Generation’, the song morphing into snippets of ‘Tommy’ tunes, breaking down into single guitar chords then erupting into fast blasting riffage. It’s an air-guitarists’ dream. ‘Magic Bus’ ends proceedings, starting with percussion then blowing up with Daltrey’s harmonica wailing. Bootleg albums were getting big then so the band made the cover look like one: dodgy fun.
