Tonight, Stephen Stills' annual Light Up The Blues concert to benefit autism will be held at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood.

Neil Young, Shawn Colvin & Steve Earle, The White Buffalo and Chris Stills and others are scheduled to perform.

From Los Angeles Times by Randy Lewis:
Additionally, Stills has said previously that he took a page from Young’s playbook in getting Light Up the Blues off the ground, motivated by his own 18-year-old son Henry’s Asperger's syndrome, an autism-spectrum disorder. He and his wife looked at the annual Bridge School benefit in Northern California that Young and his ex-wife Pegi Young have been staging for the last quarter-century as a model for how to execute a benefit show.

“The Bridge School event is probably the best one," Stills told The Times in 2013. "They took everything they learned from other people's benefits and perfected it. This stuff gets complicated when you're dealing with road managers and production managers. But once we decided to do it, people just kept showing up saying they wanted to be involved. That's when you know you've got a winner."

  1. Always cool to see them play together. Stills seems to be on a hot streak, I love Don't want lies. Maybe a Stills-Young Band tour? I'd love to see that!

  2. This was a unique, very special performance by Neil and Stephen and the house band. I have seen CSNY and was able to see the 2011 version of Buffalo Springfield but last night was the tightest, most exciting stage collaboration with these two I have experienced. What an incredible privilege to have been in attendance.
