Denny Laine Benefit Concert - FULL SHOW @ The Troubadour 11-27-23

Denny Laine (founding member of Wings & The Moody Blues) is in need of help as he overcomes very serious health challenges. Benefit concert appearances by: Laurence Juber (Wings), Denny Seiwell (Wings), Micky Dolenz (The Monkees), Paul Shaffer, Jeremy Clyde (Chad & Jeremy), Peter Asher (Peter & Gordon), Albert Lee, Joe Bouchard (Blue Oyster Cult), Tim Heidecker, and last but not least... Puddles Pity Party (holy sh*t! He steals the show @ 1:07:30).
UPDATE: Sadly, Denny passed away today, December 5, 2023, at the age of 79. Hopefully this video will serve as a nice tribute to a musician who brought much joy to the world.

So glad I got to see and talk to Denny back in 2016. Great guy, he will be sorely missed. Rest in Peace. My condolences to his wife and family.

[@marytheresamartini5766]

Puddles pity party stole the show . I got goose bumps with his version of "my love". thanks for helping Denny. Sadly he's passed away but, all the money will help the family pay those bills.

[@holydiver73]

8 days later and Denny has gone. RIP Mr Laine, you influenced so many.

[@jasonmardoniomeza1711]

Denny Laine always seemed like the coolest chillest and laid back kind of guy and a very nice guy. A rock n roll Hall of Fame inductee and well deserved! He was a great musician and a great band member. He wrote some really good songs and dam....what a life he led??!!! Got to live his dream as a musician , songwriter , and rock n roll pop artist! He earned his way and got to do something he loved for a living playing music and being an artist. Co-founder of the Moody Blues and then did all his great work joining with Wings as well as being able to do his solo projects. A life well lived man! Thanks for all the music Denny. You've transitioned on now from this life but you left behind some great music and great memories for the fans. Hopefully we'll all get to see you on the other side! Keep rocking in paradise Denny till we get there! Bless you man! 🙏 ✌☮🕊

[@talbotdarren]

Denny Laine was one of the nicest guys in rock music. Enjoy jamming in Heaven with all the legends, you are one too. Thanks for all the music and memories and for taking time to shake the hand of a star struck fan. RIP Denny, you will be missed.

Great Tribute show for Denny Laine! He lives on in the music of The Moody Blues, Wings, and all of the lives he touched during his time on Earth!

[@CB-xr1eg]

Actually, his stint in The Moody Blues is largely forgotten except for Go Now. He was better known for being in Wings.

[@MIB_63]

RIP Denny. I was a big Wings fan back in the 70s. Loved his input and contributions to the Wings sound.

Great job! Denny was such a big part of Wings success in the 70's, from Wild Life - Back to the Egg. Some great albums / songs in those years. Denny was the one that was always there, w/Paul & Linda. So sorry to hear of his passing :(

[@Cas_Az]

This really made my day to see this. I'm sorry for Dennys passing but so nice to see his friends come out for him. What a time it was !

I don't know...but if they were doing a benefit then he didn't have enough money I thought why hasn't Paul done anythig?...and I disagree about him not being a glory hound....he is. He wouldn't offer charity for glory..but he can't seem to live without attention to himself otherwise@@duffbaker9554

But in neither of those two groups Lane wrote anything.......................................................................................

[@georgebur]

@@GeorgeTel100 Yes he did. He did some writing with Paul McCartney. But the main question is surely whether he performed on these tracks.

@@georgebur "some" writing? I think you're being too kind

[@kevbob]

@@GeorgeTel100 doesn't matter if they were almost all 100% Macca written songs, Laine was most definitely an integral part of the sound, so it is indeed his music as well. Why is this so hard to understand?

[@stevefaure415]

Sad state of affairs that in 2023 people still have to go asking for financial help when they get sick. Denny was hardly a marginal figure in pop music but he was an artist, and artists no matter their stature are still treated poorly by the powers-that-be.

[@philipbonner6486]

Very true and tell that to Paul McCartney, as Denny Laine didn't get any royalties on the song Mull Of Kyntire even though he co wrote the song with McCartney , so bad.

[@stevefaure415]

@@philipbonner6486 There's some hard feelings between the two, that much I can glean. I'm not about to decide who is right or wrong but yeah, of course, it would be great if Paul could help. They were obviously mates for a long while. That said, the responsibility for taking care of someone who is sick should not be that of an old friend, no matter what kind of wealth he has. It should be a right we have, that's what I believe and that's what is really sad about his situation.
