Road Recovery Benefit - Pics Are In!

photos by Alyssa Scheinson

The 10th Annual Road Recovery Benefit show went down last night in NYC. Mishmash has a super-amazing feature about Road Recovery in the works, but I lack patience so I'll post some show highlights and photos right now. Unfortunately, I also lack the ability to write exciting articles - but I'm great at making lists...

Things I know happened:

Tom Morello MC'd the entire event.

Denis Leary opened the show.

Jerry Cantrell covered Pink Floyd's "How I wish You Were Here," with Slash playing alongside him. (Question: How does Slash manage to keep 4 inches of ash attached to the ever-present cig dangling from his mouth?)



Perry Farrell sang Jane's Addiction's "Mountain Song," with Tom Morello on guitar. Word has it that it "Rocked so hard!"



Perry Farrell cranked out the Porno For Pyros hit "Pets"



Jakob Dylan was in the house. (I still need to confirm this, but I'm sure he looked pretty hot)

A couple of bands with kids who are involved in Road Recovery played an incredible set that concluded with George Michael's "Freedom" and The Ramones' "I Wanna Be Sedated."

The show finale was Guns N' Roses' "Paradise City"



Stay tuned for our 'real' coverage of Road Recovery and more amazing pics of the show from Alyssa Scheinson. In the meantime, head over to RoadRecovery.com and see what they're all about.
