JERRY CANTRELL, TOM MORELLO, GILBY CLARKE Perform At 'Road Recovery' Benefit Concert

May 5, 2009

Punk rock pioneer and activist Wayne Kramer of MC5 fame was honored in a fundraising performance event this past Friday, May 1 at the Nokia Theater in Times Square. This special event featured very a number of guests, including Iggy Pop, Tom Morello, Etty Farrell and Perry Farrell, Jerry Cantrell, Handsome Dick Manitoba and Gilby Clarke, among others.

According to RollingStone.com, "The all-star jam segment opened with [Jerry Cantrell, Tom Morello, Gilby Clarke and Wayne Kramer] being joined by Perry Farrell for loose but upbeat renditions of 'Mountain Song' and 'Ain't No Right', and DICTATORS frontman Handsome Dick Manitoba and Don Was joined in on MC5's 'Call Me Animal'. Juliette Lewis gave an appropriately raspy take on AC/DC's 'Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap', Cantrell went into frontman mode for THIN LIZZY's 'Jailbreak', and Perry Farrell returned for 'Won't Get Fooled Again', with Clarke convincingly pulling off the song's famous synthesizer line with guitar effects."

One hundred percent (100%) of the money raised on May 1 will go directly to support the treatment of children and young adults who suffer from adversities such as addiction, physical and sexual abuse and chronic illness.
