The Oceanic Concerts is a collaboration album with Pete Townshend and Raphael Rudd that was first publicly released in 2001.
Townshend sings a selection of Who standards ("The Seeker", "Bargain", "Drowned", even the comical "Tattoo") as Rudd accompanies him on piano and harp. Rudd, a harpist and pianist, had been a member of the band Renaissance between 1984 and 1987. He died shortly after the release of this recording in April 2002.
The concerts were recorded around Christmas in 1979 and 1980 according to the liner notes by Rudd.
