Tribute Concert for Robbie Robertson Held in LA

A star-studded tribute concert titled 'Life Is a Carnival: A Musical Celebration of Robbie Robertson' was held on October 16, 2024, at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, honoring the late musician and co-founder of The Band. The event featured performances by notable artists such as Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, and Mavis Staples, and was filmed by Martin Scorsese for a future concert movie release. The lineup celebrated Robertson's influential contributions to music, with performances of classics like 'Up On Cripple Creek' and 'The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.' Mike Campbell of Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers also performed 'The Best Of Everything,' a song co-written with Robertson. The concert was a nostalgic gathering of musicians and fans, reflecting on Robertson's legacy and the impact of The Band's music. This tribute comes after the loss of several original members of The Band, leaving Garth Hudson as the last surviving member.
