Frank Black of the Pixies is among those who will perform in a tribute to the Who.
“My Generation,” “The Kids Are Alright,” “Pinball Wizard,” “Baba O’Reily” —
on March 2 fans of the Who can hear such songs performed by an eclectic
mix of musicians at a tribute concert for the band at Carnegie Hall. Frank
Black of the Pixies, Bobby McFerrin, Bob Mould, Gaslight Anthem, Matt
Nathanson, Sondre Lerche, the Postelles, Warren Haynes & Govt. Mule,

The show is being presented by the music impresario Michael Dorf, founder
