Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and other music luminaries joined
filmmaker David Lynch on Saturday (April 4) for a benefit concert at New
York's famed Radio City Music Hall.
The David Lynch Foundation arranged the concert, entitled Change Begins
Within, and brought together the remaining former Beatles with Sheryl Crow,
Moby, Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder, blues singer Bettye Lavette and Ben
Harper and his band the Relentless7.
The show started with pianist Angelo Badalamenti welcoming the audience,
before Moby took the stage for a duet with Lavette and a gospel choir on
"Natural Blues." Crow took the stage next and performed with Ben
Harper and the Relentless7, before Vedder relaxed the crowd with an acoustic
routine. Harper and Vedder then thrilled the audience with a rendition of
Queen's "Under Pressure."
Starr sang and jumped on the drums for two songs, before McCartney came
out to finish the show with a selection of Beatles hits, Wings hits, his
tribute to John Lennon, "Here Today."
McCartney then introduced "Bill Shears" back on stage for
"With A Little Help For My Friends" from Sgt. Peppers.
For the finale, all the artists came back on stage for "Cosmically
Conscious."
The theme throughout the concert stuck close to the role of meditation
in personal life, and was reflected in the song selection.
Lynch, who has directed "Mulholland Drive", "Blue
Velvet" and the cult favorite television series "Twin Peaks",
said depression and anxiety might be good for movie plots but they hinder
creativity. He credits transcendental meditation with helping him with his
art.
In the interludes Lynch and friend, actress Laura Dern, discussed the
benefits of meditation for the audience.
More than 40 years ago, McCartney and Starr, along with George Harrison
and John Lennon were instrumental in bringing the message of meditation to the
West after a trip to India, where they met the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who is
the modern father of transcendental meditation. Also performing at the concert
were Donovan and blues flutist Jim James, who were with the Beatles in India
in 1968.
Transcendental Meditation is a technique of meditation where
practitioners are given a mantra that is meant to induce profound relaxation.
In Lynch's book "Catching the Big Fish" he says he discovered it in
1973 and has been practicing it every day since then. He said thought it would
be a good idea to bring the technique to children in inner-city schools to
reduce stress and anger.
The David Lynch Foundation has provided scholarships for more than
70,000 students, teachers and parents to learn to meditate all around the
world, and seeks to reach one million in 2009.
