Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young
The 2013 MusiCares tribute to Bruce Springsteen will feature performances by Elton John, Neil Young, Mumford & Sons, Sting, Mavis Staples, Juanes, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, Jackson Browne, Alabama Shakes, and Kenny Chesney.
The tribute to Springsteen will be on Feb. 8 in Los Angeles two days before the Grammy Awards.

Has anyone ever seen the video of "I Saw Her Standing There" from last year's show? One of those mysteries about why it hasn't made it out into the world.
ReplyDeleteI assume they will release last year's on DVD like they have others (Neil being honored)...but why hasn't Palladia or some other station picked it up for broadcast?
ReplyDeleteAnd I read on Suck-ass Rolling Stone.com that this year's concert honoring Bruce will be shown on CBS...wtf??
Interesting to see which song Neil performs. I'm betting it will be Promised Land. My choice would be Racing In The Streets, but pretty sure that Elton will do that one. Should be great whatever songs they perform. And which song will Mavis do? Tunnel of Love would be an awesome choice!
ReplyDeleteMaybe we can start a pool, with everyone predicting who will do which song. Kind of like March Madness....
Has it been mentioned over here that Neil is in the Sound City movie by Dave Grohl?
