Last night, an incredible lineup of musicians turned up at the Beacon Theatre for a very special benefit concert. Dubbed Love Rocks NYC, the show brought together dozens of talented artists for a musical celebration of all things love, to benefit the organization God Loves We Deliver. The non-profit group delivers meals to those who are terminally ill; it’s no surprise that so many all-star musicians came together in honor of such an important cause.
The lineup featured: Joe Walsh, Mavis Staples, Jackson Browne, Warren Haynes, Michael McDonald, Cyndi Lauper, Dr. John, Gary Clark Jr., Bruce Willis, Derek Trucks, Keb’ Mo’, Aaron Neville, Lisa Fischer, Marc Cohn, Anthony Hamilton, Cece Winans, Susan Tedeschi, William Bell, Amy Helm, Blind Boys of Alabama, Jackie Greene, Sam Moore, Catherine Russell, Joan Osborne, Tash Neal, and Marcus King.
One of the highlight moments was certainly a reunion between Allman Brothers guitarists Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes, joining with Trucks’ wife, vocalist Susan Tedeschi, for a soulful take on the classic “Space Captain.” Learning to live together, indeed.

Tedeschi and Trucks also played “Turn On Your Love Light” with Sam Moore, as you can see in Sean Roche’s video below.
