Roger Daltrey says Concert for New York City 'like a '60s awards ceremony'

NEW YORK (AP) - Roger Daltrey said he appreciated how hard police officers and firefighters work long before last month's terrorist
attacks.

"It takes a disaster like this to remind you of the tough job, the nasty, rotten job that they do, and they do it every day," the
lead singer of the Who said backstage at the Concert for New York City on Saturday night. "This was particularly nasty because of
the event. But they've done that job all the time they've been working."

The Who was one of many bands that performed at the nearly six-hour Madison Square Garden show, which benefited victims of the Sept.
11 World Trade Center attack. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Paul McCartney, David Bowie and Eric Clapton were among the other
longtime rock stars who took part.

"It's very much like a '60s awards ceremony," the 57-year-old Daltrey said with a laugh. "It's great to see the guys."
