I went to one of these all-star tribute concerts, the finale of Nick Cave's Meltdown season at the Royal Festival Hall in 1999, and it was a brilliant event. Among the highlights that I remember were Nick Cave's performance of John The Revelator, and performances by Gavin Friday, Jarvis Cocker, Eric Mingus, and Mary Margaret O'Hara, the last of which was notable for its wierdness. My big disappointment of the evening was having to leave about 30 seconds after Bryan Ferry came onstage in order to run to get the last train home.
