Roger Daltrey has finished his final week as curator of the annual Teenage Cancer Trust gigs at Royal Albert Hall with a spectacular, all-star finale.
After a week of gigs that included headline shows by The Who, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, Young Fathers and The Chemical Brothers, the final night's show, named 'Ovation - A Celebration of 24 Years of Gigs For Teenage Cancer Trust', was one for the ages.
TCT shows at the Royal Albert Hall ended on Sunday 24 March with ‘Ovation’, a Celebration of 24 Years of Gigs for TCT with an unbelievable line up of Roger Daltrey, Kelly Jones, Robert Plant with Saving Grace, Eddie Vedder and Paul Weller.
The night opened with a set by Paul Weller, before performances from Stereophonics frontman Kelly Jones, Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, Saving Grace featuring Robert Plant & Suzi Dian, and Daltrey.
Highlights included Daltrey joining Weller onstage for a cover of The Who's So Sad About Us, Vedder inviting Simon Townshend, Glen Hansard and his daughter Olivia Vedder onstage to sing, and Saving Grace's cover of Led Zeppelin's Friends. The grand finale saw Daltrey joined by Plant, Vedder, Hansard and Jones for a climactic Baba O'Reilly.
