Last night at the Bridge School Benefit Concert there was musical magic aplenty.  In addition to Tom Waits’ first live show in over five years, one of the clear highlight’s of the night was an ensemble tribute to the late, great Lou Reed.  Watch below as My Morning Jacket, Neil Young, Elvis Costello, Conor Oberst, Jennie Lewis and The Watson Twins cover Oh! Sweet Nuthin’ off of the last Velvet Underground studio album, Loaded. Between Jim James’, Elvis Costello’s and  ensemble vocals, Young’s fervent harmonica playing, and Carl Broemel’s dobro playing, they lit up the night right for Lou.  R.I.P. Sweet Lou.

And by the way:  it’s a wonder Reed and The Velvet Underground didn’t sue the Marshall Tucker Band for their copycat melody on Can’t You See? (listen at bottom).
