Pernice Bros., Aimee Mann, more honor Elton John
Writer: Kristi Wooten
News, Published online on 31 Aug 2007

There have been so many tributes to Elton John and Bernie Taupin over the years, one might assume that the flamboyant showman and his lyricist were either dead or dying. Thankfully, neither is true, and in the spirit of 1991’s Two Rooms album (which featured artists such as Sting, Eric Clapton, and The Who covering the duo’s tunes), 20 artists will gather at New York’s Carnegie Hall on October 10 to celebrate John’s perennial popularity and philanthropic spirit.

Music For Youth, an outreach program of the UJA Federation of New York, will benefit from the shindig, which is slated to feature Joss Stone, Aimee Mann, Shawn Colvin, Roger McGuinn, Brendan Benson, the Pernice Brothers and Page McConnell from Phish, amongst others. Each performer will sing one song, and an inevitable all-star jam will likely close the evening.

hmm, wonder what song page will play? any guesses? i’d say tiny dancer, or rocketman, who knows though

#422

Amoreena?

#423

I hope McGuinn and Page do a twenty minute psychedelic freak out version of Eight Miles High and then tell Elton to piss off.

#424

i would bet Page would do Amoreena or Border Song, i remember reading somehwere that he really dug Border song.

I also would put money that Ann Wilson from Heart will do “where to now st peter?” because she recorded it as a duet with Elton on her recently released solo album.

^^FUCK YEAH MAN!!! I’m trying to download now…

I’d love to hear a show from the year right after “Rock of the Westies” came out. I’ve never heard any of those songs live, and I love them all.

#434

Hank, I will put some stuff up with some Rock of the Westies material for ya. Keep looking

#435

So, what happened to the Big Dude?

#437

I heard he’s been bare knuckle boxing across the country like Clint Eastwood in that Ape movie.

#438

:lolno:

#439

I used to IM with him from time to time (weird little dude, fyi) and then he just disappeared one day. He’s how I found the Pa in the first place. Met him and his dad at a Trey show at The Tabernacle in Atlanta and he told me I should check out this Phish site called Ohkeepa…you guys can all throw shit at him for that next time you see him :slight_smile:
