    I think I'm the only person who felt that Let It Be was a highly inappropriate choice of song, for Paul McCartney to perform at the mid eighties, high profile, televised, Live Aid Concert, to raise money and awareness for the starving victims of an African Famine (not forgetting Bob Dylan's, "odd million for the poor american farmers" ) but McCartney's performance was a highlight.
    Surely the songs performed have to have some connection to the artist being honoured. It's true that Monty Python did The Lumberjack Song at Concert For George because he was a massive fan & financed Life Of Brian. At any Glenn Frey tribute it wouldn't be right for Jackson Browne to sing The Pretender, for example. He would have to do either one of Glenn's own songs or a song he knew Glenn loved.
