Live at the Royal Albert Hall
Live at the Royal Albert Hall is a three-CD live set from the Who, released in 2001. The first two discs capture a concert from 27 November 2000, played for the Teenage Cancer Trust. The line-up is John Entwistle, Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend, with Zak Starkey on drums and John "Rabbit" Bundrick on keyboards, and a number of guests join them on stage. The show was also issued on DVD as The Who & Special Guests: Live at the Royal Albert Hall.
The third disc gives the set extra weight. It holds four songs from 8 February 2002, the last concert the band played with Entwistle. Elsewhere, Townshend dedicates "Heart to Hang Onto" to the late Ronnie Lane. It is a document of the band in the years before Endless Wire.
