Great "tribute" performances?

a fitting tribute.

Great tribute concert to the Beatles about 10 years ago called "A Walk Down Abbey Road". I saw them in Chicago and MIlwaukee. Check out the band:

Todd Rundgren - guitar

John Entwislte (the Who) - bass

Alan Parsons - keyboards

Ann Wilson (Heart) - vocals, flute

David Pack (Ambrosia) - vocals

In addition to Beatles songs, they did "My Wife" and some other solo songs. And I met John Entwistle behind the stage. Awesome!!!

This is a tribute to Jimi Hendrix playing a bit of Third Stone From The Sun

The only two I can think of are :~

Studio album: "Legacy: A Tribute to Fleetwood Mac's 'Rumours'"

Commisioned by Mick Fleetwood in the late 1990's, it features a cover of each song on the classic 1977 album, by artists including The Corrs, Matchbox20, Elton John, Duncan Sheik, Jewel, The Goo Goo Dolls, and my personal favourite perfromance, by Sister Hazel : http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=k5J3XHebYTw&fmt=18

Live album / concert: "Concert for George: A Tribute to George Harrison"

Having opened with some special performances composed by Ravi Shankar and performed by his daughter Anoushka, it then featured a variety of George's songs from both his time in The Beatles and his solo work, performed by many people, including Dhani Harrison, Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Billy Preston, Joe Brown, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty and Gary Brooker, amongst others.
