Alison Mosshart reflects on Mark Lanegan tribute concert: "I can’t remember a time ever being so nervous to perform"

His regular collaborators Josh Homme, Greg Dulli and Soulsavers were joined on the night by the likes of Dave Gahan, Chrissie Hynde, Bobby Gillespie, Alison Mosshart and Duke Garwood as they performed tracks from Mark Lanegan's back catalogue, in tribute to his life.

"It’s taken me a week a digest this gig and I still feel dizzy. It was such a lightening bolt evening of love and adoration for Mark, for Marks music, for the magical realm of music itself. I can’t remember a time ever being so nervous to perform," said Alison Mosshart, reflecting on the evening.

Mosshart recalls watching Bobby Gillespie on stage, being sandwiched between James Walbourne and Troy Van Leeuwen for her own four songs, and then everything else as a blur that she doesn't remember; speaking of the magic in the room, as "some holy communion."

"For days after and in my sleep Marks songs kept playing in my head, rotating poetry, those enchanting melodies," she continued. "I can’t thank Rich Machin enough for reaching out and asking me into the fold. It was a great honor to be there and an evening I will never ever forget. Just as Mark will never be forgotten. He left us with such a vast library of incredible music. Not a second wasted on earth. What a beautiful night."
