Note: An incredible show, great performances throughout. Probably my favorite "all star" type event, this was just a great night. EC and all the artists were just in great form. EC seems truly to enjoy just being a member of the band. Starts off with a great version of "The Wanderer" by Dave Edmunds, and "This Heart's On Fire" by Brian Adams. EC, part of the house band, makes something special out of "IN the Family" by Level 42. They go on to do the single best version of "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting" ever, Mark King's driving bass line is just unforgettable, and just puts any other version to shame. EC and George Harrison's duet on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is the centerpiece of the evening, and is true magic. What Beatles? Show closes with a great version of "With a Little Help From My Friends", with EC standing off to the side of the stage and just wailing away. Again, ever since hearing that it just doesn't sound "right" without EC's solos! Highly recommended.
