Here's the tribute film that was shown just before the main show started:

Highlights (for me) was Marshall Crenshaw and Freedy Johnston with The Smithereens, though I enjoyed watching it all!  Mike Mesaros played bass for most of the evening, and Severo Jornacion was up on stage for a few numbers, too.    Near the end of the show, they passed out big foil trays of White Castle burgers to the audience, and Jim Babjak sang 'White Castle Blues' (White Castle donated $10,000 to the Pat DiNizio Musical Performance Scholarship, which is affiliated with The Basie Academy).  There are only a few clips up on YouTube from the concert, hopefully more will get posted soon!

Here's one:

Edited to add: I added the Tribute Concert to the subject header, so that it'll be easier for everyone to find if they're looking for it.  BIG thanks to Hamerica for the original heads up to the webcast!
