Recap of a Big Night in NYC: Hot Tuna Guests Galore, Tweedy @ Yo La Tengo & Warren w/ George Porter Jr.

Uptown at the Beacon, Hot Tuna was joined by a cavalcade of guests as part of a two-night celebration honoring Jorma Kaukonen’s 70th birthday. Larry Campbell spent the most time on stage with the band, adding fiddle and guitar to the proceedings. Bruce Hornsby’s guest spot included a blazing I Know You Rider, while Warren Haynes added slide to Come Back Baby and three other songs. Bill Kirchen, Chris Smither, Happy Traum, Byron House and John Hammond all sat-in during the concert as well. Head over to Jorma’s blog for his take on the evening as well as the setlist. Each artist made sure to wish Jorma a Happy Birthday and Jorma told the tale of his association with each of the guests. The marathon show ended around midnight and you can expect a whole new set of guests tonight. READ ON for more…
