Event: The Harry Smith Project tribute concert

Leg: Post-Vultures Gigs

Venue: Royce Hall, UCLA

City: Westwood

State: California

Country: United States

Notes:
This Harry Smith Tribute Concert was monumental, but the Harry Smith Folk Collection was such a monument in music, that he deserved it. This concert lasted over five hours, and was reportedly 3 dozen singers attempting the 4 dozen songs on the collection.

During a Marianne Faithfull performance of "John The Revelator," Beck, Todd Rundgren and Steve Earle sang back-up gospel harmonies.

Then Beck did "Down On The Banks Of The Ohio" (with Steve Earle on guitar and the McGarrigles singing back-up") and "Last Fair Deal Gone Down" on his own (see it below).

Both nights, from what I can gather, were mostly identical; Beck's parts anyway seem to have been.

Here's some video: but I don't know which night it is from so I put it on both
