Last night, an all-star cast of artists piled into L.A.’s Fonda Theatre to pay tribute to the late Beatle George Harrison. The event, George Fest, was a benefit for the Jameson Neighborhood Fund and proceeds for this particular show went to Sweet Relief and helping out L.A. area musicians. George Fest featured (deep breath) Brian Wilson, “Weird Al” Yankovic, Norah Jones, Spoon’s Britt Daniel, Perry Farrell, the Killers’ Brandon Flowers and Mark Stoermer, the Flaming Lips’ Wayne Coyne and Steven Drozd, Heart’s Ann Wilson, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Cold War Kids, George’s son Dhani Harrison, and members of the Strokes, the Cult, Weezer, Velvet Revolver, and Guster. Conan O’Brien, who hosted a George Harrison week on his show all last week, also performed. Below, watch fan-made videos of Brian Wilson doing “My Sweet Lord,” Conan O’Brien doing “Old Brown Shoe,” “Weird Al” Yankovic doing “What Is Life,” and a whole mess of other videos. Plus, the setlist.
