Must hear this.  I'd heard about the Roger Waters colab going in, but had no idea it was for Dixie!  Phew!  That and Ophelia... I can hear it now.   :shocked:

I'm with you on that John. Here's hoping something pops up on YouTube soon.  :beer:

You just know they're blowing the crowd there away! Going to make some new fans I'm sure. Good Tickets are going to get tougher, and tougher to get going forward.  :wink:

Sure hope they're filming this for a video release. A great way to bring in  some more $ for the cause.

Anyone within a hundred miles of this that didn't go should turn in thier roll call membership.

What a great way to honor a great man and musician.  Can't wait to hear the recordings.

Yup, I'd imagine that's the plan. Fingers crossed...

Danny Clinch was there, though he's seen holding a still camera.  I think this might be slated for a DVD or live release.  I'll take an aud recording.

Hey, easy now.  :wink:  I had hoped to be able to make it, but things didn't work out. Tried my best.   I promise to buy the DVD.  :grin:

No offense meant Eric, maybe that was a bit harsh.

I was kinda surprised there wasn't more buzz on this board leading up to tonight.  I understand the excitement and anticipation of the New Years run, and the Obama gig, but man, this one flew under the radar big time.

I have always had a special place in my heart for Levon and The Band.  I feel they have always been extremely underrated.  On top of that, the line-up was busting with talent.

Again, very cool of the boys to be a part of this epic night, really jelous of anyone who was there, it looks to be a super special night on paper.

None taken Bernard.  :beer:

Trust me, I was bummed all day as the hours passed, and I knew my window for making this was closing by the minute.

I'm still a bit bummed, but I know I did all I could. If I just passed or wasn't interested, there'd be no excuse, and should have to turn in my RC card!  :wink:

Happy for friends that were there, and looking forward to hearing their first hand accounts.

Wrote this on another board:

QuoteAbsolutely amazing. The best part was getting to see My Morning Jacket and Roger Waters share the stage AND acknowledge each other. MMJ was like the pre-headliner to Roger Waters (they played a song together before MMJ left and Waters stuck around).

MMJ killed it, John Mayer was crazy on guitar and played two songs (one was Tennesse Jed and the other was with Ray LaMontagne singing Tears of Rage), Joe Walsh and Robert Randolph absolutely destroyed Up On Cripple Creek (in a good way).


So great. This isn't the order it was in but here was a list of performers. Might be missing one or two:



    Roger Waters
    John Mayer
    My Morning Jacket
    Eric Church
    Ray LaMontagne
    Dierks Bentley
    Joe Walsh
    Gregg Allman
    Grace Potter
    Garth Hudson of The Band
    Marc Cohn
    Jakob Dylan
    Mike Gordon
    Warren Haynes
    John Hiatt
    Bruce Hornsby
    Jorma Kaukonen
    The Levon Helm Band
    John Prine
    Robert Randolph
    Mavis Staples
    Lucinda Williams




Absolutely blown away by this show. MMJ were treated like the rock gods that they are. It was truly amazing seeing all of these legends and talented acts play before Jacket but I guess everyone know that was a perfect way to end the night. The 1-2 punch of MMJ and Roger Waters was just fantastic.


I have some video. The audio may not be that great (haven't checked it yet) but will post what I have soon.

Fucking spectacular night!  I agree that this event definitely flew under the radar on here.  Great to see forum friends YNWA, sassbox, and deathstick!  We also saw Brian (bagpiper) on our way out!
So very grateful to have been able to get to this!  Once in a lifetime!  Ophelia nearly made me faint! And then....Roger Waters....Roger mothafuckin Waters.  I knew that sass had some serious scoop from the night before, and she was kind enough not to spoil it for us, but said it was BIG, like really really BIG.  The anticipation was building all evening, and I knew the collaboration would be epic, but didn't dream it would be THAT epic. 

Thank you YNWA, I am so glad your friend had an interview at NBC yesterday, otherwise I would not have made this show! I hope she gets the job  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
