Big Star would have approved
The stage was filled with percussion set-ups, a drum kit enclosed in pleexiglass and multiple mics.
Early on the Kronos Quartet were brought on stage. Mike Mills (R.E.M.), Mitch Easter (R.E.M. producer, Let's Active) and Ira Kaplan (Yo La Tengo) took control and played a few numbers from the Big Star catalog.
Afterwards they took a break and returned with a cover of Nat King Cole's "Nature Boy".
After that they launched into the album.
Confession - I never heard "Big Star's Third"/"Sisters". I just liked the covers from 'This Mortal Coil'.
The music was beautiful and inspiring. I know I'd heard "Jesus Christ" before but could not tell you where.
The finale' included Chris Bell's "I am the Cosmos" which made me happy.
