Thurston and Lee at The 43rd Annual New Year’s Day Marathon Benefit Reading
 

I know the videographer for this event, I spoke to him today and he told me among 12 hours or so of nearly intermission free poetry by dozens of poets, Lee played an acoustic tune or 2 and Thurston read some material - but my friend thought Eileen Myles was outstanding, reading a piece on what she would have done if she had been elected president already...

Thurston shared these videos on his Facebook that someone took of his readings:

Lee did a truncated version of one of his new songs.

Eileen Myles was outstanding. Here is a video of her reading:
