Details: Amazon.ca Valedictory tour specialists and inveterate globetrotters, the Who wrapped-up their 2000 World Tour--possibly their final wave of the Union Jack hankie now that John Entwhistle is plucking his bass in the sky--with this red-carpet Teenage Cancer Trust charity shindig at the Royal Albert Hall. Forgivably, time has taken its toll on some of the Who's more splenetic sensibilities--there are times when Roger Daltrey, too seasoned and contented to muster much in the way of vocal vitriol, sings as if he's applying ointment through clenched teeth--but the old grumblers can still sound enthusiastically cross for R&B OAPs. While no live album is ever likely to rival Live at Leeds for impelling urgency, Live at the Royal Albert Hall has added curiosity value by virtue of the various testimonial contributions from a slew of younger and famous devotees: Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam), Paul Weller, Bryan Adams, the guitar of Noel Gallagher, the chap introduced to the throng as "The guy from the Stereophonics" (Kelly Jones) and Kennedy (the Aston Villa-supporting "punk" violinist formerly known as Nigel). Not to be upstaged by younger bucks, the Who sound positively regal on "Won't Get Fooled Again" and as feral as rutting tigers on "My Generation" (despite the efforts of punk, grunge and nu-metal, this song still sounds like the very final word on angsty rock & roll adolescence). --Kevin Maidment Product Description THE WHO
