The entire concert was broadcast last week on local PBS stations. This motley assemblage is the embodiment of what great music is all about these days. The unsung heroes included: Buddy Miller, Jim Lauderdale, Richard Thompson, Don Was, Emmylou Harris, Darrell Scott, Bonnie Raitt, James Booker, Brittany Howard, Amy Helm, Teresa Williams, and Larry Monroe. I hope all names were properly spelled and I didn't catch the great drummer capturing Levon's spirit. The festival will be rebroadcast on PBS again so watch your listings for it. The show in its entirety was great but seeing this finale in the context of the whole show had me jumping off the couch as Bonnie wailed on slide. Thanks for posting this snippet.

@ Patsy, Brittany is in a band called Alabama Shakes.  Check them out, she is amazing!

@Patsy Raney, I do believe that is Mr. Sam Bush on the mandolin.  ;-)

Oh Kyla!  Thanks for this video.  I saw alot of bands this summer playing tributes to Levon Helm, each one was special.

I think I see Buddy Miller on guitar.  Who else on stage is not credited?
