Big Star

Athens, Georgia

An amazing evening Georgia Theatre as an all star band played Big Star’s 1972 #1 Record all the way through. Centered around original drummer Jody Stephens, Pat Sansone (of #Wilco), Jon Auer (of #thePosies), Mike Mills (of @rem) and Chris Stamey (of #thedbs) were joined by others (including Bill Berry). The craftsmanship of the original record was matched by the performance – this felt like a band that’s been playing together for years. (This may also have been the first show in a very long time where @profjoewatson and I were amongst the youngest members of the audience …)
