Daltrey sang it on the Pittsburgh date of his tour last summer.

The song was written for the "Live Aid" show that The Who participated in
that year, but Pete didn't complete the song in time to actually perform it
at the show. The organizer of the show had been saying that Live Aid was
going to put out the fire of hunger in (I forget which country). Pete's
response was, "after the fire, the fire still burns". Live Aid was great
and all, but people are in general so caught up in their every day mundane
lives that they won't get involved, and Live Aid won't make a difference in
the long run.
"Under A Raging Moon" is a typical Daltrey album. It has 3 or 4 really good
tunes, and the rest of it is pretty much throw-away stuff. Not awful, just
boring. The title track is a particularly chilling tribute/lament for Keith
Moon. It's a great song.
