R.E.M. Tribute after-party at City Winery 3/11/09

Even more wonderful music was played at the after-party held at City Winery following the Carnegie Hall concert.

With performances by NJ band The Bongos, Glen Hansard, Guster and more, this was really a separate show.


It will take me some time to process all the great photos. Check back on the Flickr stream over the next few days for more.


The whole set will be in the Flickr set.

The Music of R.E.M. at Carnegie Hall

The Music of R.E.M. at Carnegie Hall, 3/11/09

Michael Dorf of the Kintting Factory and the new City Winery put together this benefit concert for musical education programs.


Most of these shots were with my point and shoot, but I whipped the big camera out for the very end. After party shots are better and in another post.

It was a wonderful night with tremendous performances of R.E.M. songs by a unique range of artists. Many played at the after party where I used my SLR, so their photos will appear in that post.

View on Flickr too.

Rolling Stone online has a small review that includes the setlist.
