ROGER DALTRY - A CELEBRATION - THE MUSIC

Details

• Release Year: 1998
• Genre: Music
• Plot: The irony of celebrating his 50th birthday with an eclectic musical extravaganza at New York City’s Carnegie Hall was not lost on Roger Daltry, the extraordinary voice of rock’s most powerful band, The Who. Daltry, the angry young man who once sang, “Hope I die before I get old”, is in exceptional form throughout this special evening of music featuring performances by fellow Who members Pete Townshend and John Entwistle, as well as special guest appearances by the Chieftans (“Baba O’Riley” and “After the Fire”) and saxophonist David Sanborn (“5:15”). The DVD presentation of A Celebration also includes songs not released on the compact disc documenting the 1994 event (House of Blues Music Co. #51416-1377-2), including “You Better You Bet”, “I Can See For Miles”, “Love Reign O’er Me”, “Behind Blue Eyes”, “Amazing journey”, “I’m Free”, and “See Me, Feel Me”. Daltrey’s stellar band, John “Rabbit” Bundrick on keyboards, John Carin on keyboards and guitar, Phil Palmer on guitar, Pino Palladino on bass, Simon Phillips on drums, Jody Linscott on percussion and background vocalists Billy Nicholls and Cleveland Watkiss, is backed by the Julliard Orchestra, conducted by Michael Kamen. Experience the energy and excitement of this once-in-a-lifetime event!
