Maybe I chose this terrific version of Bob Dylan‘s “Rainy Day Women #12 and #35“, performed by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers at a homecoming Gainesville FL concert in November 1993, because the calendar says 4-20. But then again, with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers performing live, do you really need a reason? – Redbeard

Proving to the whole world that day to be anything other than “Helpless”, Neil Young and a cast of a hundred thousand in Philadelphia’s JFK Stadium joined a similar group in London’s Wembley Stadium via satellite, and an estimated 1.4 billion viewing and listening worldwide, to raise money and awareness for starving residents of Ethiopia, Sudan, and sub-Saharan Africa on July 13, 1985 for Live Aid 35th anniversary.
On her “Broken Horses” first Saturday Night Live performance October 23, 2021 Brandi Carlile, framed by her hired gun identical twin bald-headed guitarists, elicited comparison to Bonnie Raitt backed by Tom Petty’s Heartbreakers.
