Commencing this weekend, The Who, in collaboration with YouTube, will launch a six-week celebration of live performances. The weekly series, titled “Join Together @ Home” on the band’s official YouTube channel, starts this Saturday (Aug. 11) at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET/6 p.m. UK. Each featurette—available digitally for the first time—will appear as a YouTube Premiere, streaming live and rarely seen footage, mini videos and special screen footage, culminating with a performance from a previously unreleased show.
The series launches this weekend with five live tracks from the Who’s 1982 Shea Stadium (New York) show. This will be introduced with an exclusive “red carpet” premiere clip from Roger Daltrey. “Join Together @ Home” is in partnership with the Who and Eagle Rock Entertainment and will stream exclusively on YouTube. “Join Together @ Home” is free to view, but fans are encouraged to donate to co-beneficiaries Teenage Cancer Trust and Teen Cancer America, directly via the link provided on the YouTube page www.join-together.org.

As a patron of both charities, Roger Daltrey, along with Pete Townshend, “has raised much needed awareness and funds to help support young people with cancer, both in the UK and the US. He has been the driving force behind Teenage Cancer Trust’s iconic comedy and music shows, held at the Royal Albert Hall for the last 20 years,” says a press release.
