Rolling Stone honored at Carnegie Hall


Glen Hansard of The Swell Season was over half their deconstructed version of the woman, removing "Under My Thumb" in the "Music of the Rolling Stones" tribute concert at Carnegie Hall on Tuesday when he asked the song is there-but-not composers,'' What kind of headspace was when he wrote this? "

A half second later, he replied, laughing: "I think it was a Keith".

So it was a typical episode for a playful, if not a little quiet, the night of rock n roll 'in the famous New York City concert hall, where nearly two dozen artists of points ranging from Italy to Africa Western North Carolina gave her the 21 stones taken out of the collection of Rolling Stones hits, "Hot Rocks 1964-1971". Presented by Michael Dorf, as part of what is now a regular series of taxes, all proceeds from the event went to fund depletion ORS music education.

Tuscany star Jovanotti paired with TV on the Radio to start the night with "You can not always get what you want." Looking and moving like a cross between Mick Jagger and Mike Love of the Beach Boys (1970 version with a beard), Jovanotti thin whip whirled round and round in their shoes with jewels, while members of the venerable Brooklyn band worked through an interpretation which remained faithful to the "Let It Bleed" original. Jovanotti-performance TVOTR, which was punctuated with a chorus of young people set the pace for the next seven or so artists more or less do the work, playing the song, without many frills.

The three strong women who have followed all the added oomph to the proceedings, starting with go flirty and sassy Ronnie Spector's "Time Is on My Side" performer Peaches fiercely independent drew puzzled looks on their incredibly strong Ziggy Stardust-ian team and punk do it, but his "Heart of Stone" pumped well, and the actress and singer Juliette Lewis may have misplaced a letter or two during a perfect reading Sassy "Satisfaction", but made up with a professional stage presence.

In the mixture from the beginning, Rich Robinson of Black Crowes and Gretsch guitar gave "Play With Fire", a delicate touch and Marianne Faithfull, told the story of how Mick and Keith wrote "As Tears Go By" for her. In town to play shows at City Winery, Faithfull's voice is deeper than when he made "Tears," a hit in 1965, but its dominance has not diminished a bit in 47 years. It is obvious musical offspring (both voice and attitude stage) Lana Del Rey has this kind of longevity?

There was no magical appearances of members of the stones at Carnegie Hall, but some of those attending the concert in the nosebleeds may have been fooled for a second when David Johansen emerged. The eternal New York Doll is looking more and more like Mick Jagger, although a few pounds heavier. The use of skinny white jeans and a baby blue t-shirt, protopunk icon barked and were just the right amount for "Get Off My Cloud".

After nine performances, including a vibrating up "The Mother's Little Helper" by Steve Earle and a grunt "19th Nervous Breakdown" by Ian Hunter, the show went into a more adventurous phase beginning with The Mountain Goats slowed and semi-creepy version of "Paint It Black." It was a low-fi, indie folk shot in the arm for the show, which previously could have passed for one of those specialties that are seen during the PBS pledge campaigns.

Then came Glen Hansard and his acoustic version of "Under My Thumb". He owned the crowd from the start, getting hundreds of snap their fingers in unison, later morphing the end of his three minutes in a fun mashup of "Gloria". After the show, the singer, who is currently organizing a Broadway production of Oscar-winning film "Once", you could see outside the Carnegie signature programs and even a young guitar before running off in a taxi .

A few times a-ha were coming from a euphoric version of "Ruby Tuesday" made-for-the-Carnegie Hall Art Garfunkel, which provides crisp warmed the crowd. Another voice very well preserved, belonging to Jackson Browne, followed with an acoustic Garfunkel, along down "Let's spend the night together", which still maintains his arrogance in some way. British psych-folk-rock Gomez gave a "Wow, this is beautiful 'reaction to seeing the Carnegie extended to the front before he launched into a delirious slow-fast version of" Flash Jumpin' Jack. " Grave of Ben Ottewell rasp, one of the most distinct in rock, echoed the Chamber of the best.

"Street Fighting Man" was the burden that comes, and was at the helm of West African artist Angelique Kidjo, who closed their song with a single-use breathing as the instrument.

Since the circulation of "Nice to meet you ..." in the epic "Sympathy for the Devil", Rickie Lee Jones took to the faithful of Carnegie in the palm of the hand with the physical interaction attractive brand scoring half spoken singing style. She was sitting with his guitar, but moved more than half of the other artists of the night. Towards the end, the crowd spontaneously began woo hooing to the delight of a possible Jones.

"You know, one of the best things about the Stones is that you can deconstruct their songs to the Blues, and that's what we do tonight," said the Taj Mahal, who launched a downright gritty version "Honky Tonk Woman. "His daughter, Deva, owns a voice that deserves recognition, filling your room's soulful voice was one of the highlights of the night.

Another dive, Rosanne Cash, took it easy on "Gimme Shelter", but surprise was helped Jon Sebastian, who vainly, along with his harmonica.

The clever and quirky traditionalists Carolina Chocolate Drops followed with "Midnight Rambler" and the American-thon continued with Jackie Greene, wearing a "desire"-era Dylan for a look noisy but not particularly interesting version of "Brown Sugar".

"Walking in Memphis" Marc Cohn star was joined later by Browne and effective to play the last song, "" Hot Rocks the achingly beautiful "Wild Horses". Marianne Faithfull returns as a "bonus track" to sing "Sister Morphine", a leading off-track "Exile on Main St."

And what would be a great concert, a tribute fat without an All-Star sing-a-long. "Says Tumblin '" has the honors, and though very weak, the stars got together in the spirit of things with the greatest singers, have said they take the lead, while others danced feverishly.
