also, who is that on bass? never seen that guy play with them before. 

That's Howie Epstein, who was (physically and in other ways) just a shadow of his former self by 2001, when that tribute concert occurred.  I had to look pretty close myself at the video to satisfy myself that it was him.  Howie died less than 2 years later.

Don't really know if you can consider these better but they are fantastic for what they are.   

 

 

 

I dig these cats a lot.  I appreciate the shit out of musicians who can turn a song into a completely different genre without ruining it.  These guys fucking kick ass.

So I'm sitting on the couch the other night watching movies with my 4 and 3 year old girls.  I'm half ass-checked out and playing on my phone.  We're watching 'Sing'.   I'm listening and I hear this voice and am thinking to myself "man, I've heard this beautiful opera song before".

 

Then I sit up and finally start paying attention and basically say out loud "Holy shit!!! That's Golden Slumbers!!!!"   Jennifer Hudson took this one to her house and put it in the hall closet.

I saw Midlake in a small Houston club around 2007. Was with a big group that was mostly interested in staying near the bar during the opener,  so I decided to go up front. 

This tiny girl with big red nerdy glasses walks on stage and proceeds to blow my mind for 45 minutes. Never seen anything like her and I'll always remember that moment. I'm glad Annie Clark made it big, truly deserving and an amazing talent. 

I always come back to this great cover.

I’m still furious about C3’s biggest ACL scheduling fuckup ever, 3 years ago when they put St. Vincent and Erykah Badu on at the same time. How does that even happen?

I was dating a girl that wanted to go see Beck rather than see Alison Krauss/Robert Plant.  She didn’t make it to wife material and that was kind of the tipping point.

I had forgotten about that.  Hey, it's a huge festival in Austin, let's put two incredibly influential female artists from Dallas in competition with each other!

Booker: Great news!  we’ve got two of the three most famous and influential  musicians from the same high school, which also happens to be the premier performing arts high school in our state!

C3 Scheduler: awesome! Let’s put them on at the same time!

Their cover of can’t let go is outstanding

I think their cover of 'Killin' the Blues' is pure magic.  Alison's angelic voice mixed with the harmonies of Plant that show why he was the quintessential rock god.  Just absolutely incredible.
