Springsteen will be at the Walter Kerr that night...no certain why Bonnie Raitt was added as a co-honoree.

I specifically saw 11:30 as the end time. So, if the old man wants to honor his two legendary friends, he can run the four short blocks to get there. I'm more looking forward to the Bonnie and EC duet on Love Has No Pride, What Do You Want the Girl to Do or Willin'...wheeeee!!
Better yet, ALL THREE.

True Favedave...but at least it is shared with another legend and not a Dave Matthews or a red hot chili pepper or something like that.

Darlene Love announced herself on Friday. Would you rather Macca just show up or added formally?

LKR website now lists the following performers:

"Bernie Williams & Darlene Love
Keb' Mo' and Paul Shaffer
Bettye Lavette
LKR students

And special guests Mike Myers and more"

Perhaps you'll get some Austin Powers nonsense?

definite lack of getting the word out here. i let monkey2man know FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY as i kinda just casually asked if he will attend. HE KNEW NOTHING OF IT! he also was glad to go for the price tag with a two hour open bar included. hope they start announcing some acts to maybe pique potential interest.

oh, just seeing this blurb from the brooklynvegan link from johnfoyle....

Mike Myers, Darlene Love, Bettye Lavette, Keb’ Mo’, Paul Shaffer, Bernie Williams and more will perform at a benefit concert for music education foundation Little Kids Rock at NYC’s PlayStation Theater on October 18. The event is also honoring Elvis Costello, Bonnie Raitt and City Winery’s Micheal Dorf whose “Music Of” tribute shows benefit Little Kids Rock. Will Lee, formerly of Paul Shaffer’s Late Show band, is the musical director for this event and lots more performers are still to be announced.

Still think we could do quite a bit better!

LKR explained that it's still password protected because it's a "private" event.

M2M's ticket leaves 180 left. LOL

just had an email from City Winery offering tickets also to the event, Michael Dorf the founder is also on the to be honored list so obviously a few openings still exist.

I am in town that nigh but have tickets for First Aid Kit and will be seeing Elvis in Austin Sunday so will be missing this one.
