Benefit for Cornell Dupree was fantastic!!
by Boxer64 on 3/23/11B.B. King Blues Club and Grill - New YorkDr. John and Joe Cocker were in great voice, belting out their classic tunes as if decades hadn't passed. Dr. John's "Right Place Wrong Time" amd Joe Cocker's "You Are So Beautiful" and "Feeling all Right" were personal favorites, sounding just as good as when they were first released. The band and the guest artists, as well as the backup singers, all rocked. It was more of an ongoing jam session than a concert. The music was raw and rough, they way it should be. This event was a great tribute to Cornell as well as a testament to why this music must be preserved forever!! The appearance of Cornell's wife, along with a video of Cornell himself, was particularly moving, and Paul Schaeffer was flawless as emcee.
