Watch Roger Daltrey Play ‘Baba O’Riley’ With Eddie Vedder, Robert Plant at Royal Albert Hall

Roger Daltery wrapped up his stint as the curator of the Teenage Cancer Trust by playing "Baba O'Riley" alongside Eddie Vedder and Robert Plant.

The Who played two Teenage Cancer Trust shows earlier in the week, and Pete Townshend was originally on the bill for the ‘Ovation’ event, but he had to travel to New York for the opening of the new Tommy on Broadway. The show wrapped up with Daltrey singing the 1971 Who classic “Baba O’Riley” alongside Eddie Vedder, Robert Plant, Glen Hansard, Kelly Jones, Simon Townshend, and members of the Who’s touring band. Vedder arrived in England a bit earlier in the week so that he could catch one of the Who’s shows and join them for “The Punk and the Godfather.” His solo set at the ‘Ovation’ finale featured the Pearl Jam songs “Porch” and “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town,” the Swell Season’s “Falling Slowly” with guest Glen Hansard, and the Simon Townshend original “She Asked Me.” He also brought out his daughter, Olivia Vedder, to perform their duet “My Father’s Daughter.”
