CHANGE BEGINS WITHIN
A CONCERT TO BENEFIT THE DAVID LYNCH FOUNDATION
Angelo kicked off the show at The David Lynch Foundation’s “Change Begins Within” benefit concert on Saturday night at Radio City Music Hall.
Seated at the piano, and beginning in darkness, Angelo played what the New York Times called his "ominous and Romantic theme" from “Twin Peaks" to introduce his dear friend David Lynch, who co-hosted the event with Laura Dern.
The evening was headlined by Paul McCartney, who was joined by Ringo Starr, and included performances from Sheryl Crow, Donovan, Eddie Vedder, Ben Harper, Moby, Paul Horn, Bettye Lavette, Jim James, Jerry Seinfeld, Howard Stern, and others. The auditorium was packed to capacity and even the wings were flush with concert talent who had vacated the backstage area to watch the event from the house.
