Also, it's on the same day as Paul in San Diego. Wish I didn't have to choose.

It would be an easy choice for me if simply based on the musical performance--I'd pick the Macca ticket hands down

Tickets sold out in 2 minutes while I was in the waiting room unfortunately. Hopefully more become available. parlance

That's cool they are honoring George! I hope someone from this forum gets to go and can report on it here.

The benefit is to raise money for Sweet Relief, which seems to be a worthy cause in support of musicians. This from their website: "Since 1994 Sweet Relief Musicians Fund has provided assistance to all types of career musicians who are struggling to make ends meet while facing illness, disability, or age-related problems. Grant recipients include recording artists, club and session musicians, composers & songwriters from across the country. Every musical genre is represented including pop, rock, jazz, classical, country, blues, reggae, hip hop and all styles in between. Sweet Relief has served the music community by helping musicians with medical and living expenses including insurance premiums, prescriptions, medical treatment and operative procedures, housing costs, food costs, utilities and other basic necessities."
