LoveRocksNYC pivoted at the 11th hour in the face of coronavirus
Tanya Blount-Trotter, Michael Trotter Jr., Joss Stone, Marcus King, Cyndi Lauper, Susan Tedeschi, Karen Pearl, Jimmie Vaughan, and Jimmy Vivino perform onstage during the Fourth Annual LOVE ROCKS NYC Benefit Concert For God's Love We Deliver at Beacon Theatre on March 12, 2020 in New York City.That's how Greg Williamson, one of the masterminds behind the charity show Love Rocks NYC, described their latest iteration.
Before the ban, Williamson explains that he and co-executive producers, including John Varvatos and Nicole Rechter, first felt they"were going to get in under the wire. The Madison Square Garden company was telling us the show was definitely going to be a go, we had every artist en route or in town and rehearsals were underway." Those plans quickly changed and with hours to go, infrastructure for a livestream was set up.
Playing to a nearly empty theater full of core personnel, the four-hour show included a range of covers, including Stone covering the Janis Joplin classic"Piece of my Heart" and Dave Matthews delivering a spirited rendition of Peter Gabriel's"Sledgehammer." With a house band led by music director Will Lee and a lineup including Jimmy Vivino and drummer Pedrito Martinez, Matthews also delivered an extended riff on his trademark"Ants Marching.
A highlight for Williamson was the surprise appearance of David Letterman, who joined his former bandleader Paul Shaffer."It was amazing to see them reunited, especially given everything going on."
