Sheryl Crow and Robert Plant (Maria Ives)

On Thursday night, Robert Plant, Sheryl Crow, Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart and Billy F. Gibbons of ZZ Top, among other artists, played an epic benefit concert at New York City’s Beacon Theatre.

It was the third annual “Love Rocks” concert; the show is a benefit for the New York charity, God’s Love We Deliver, an organization that cooks and home delivers medically tailored meals for people living with severe illness in the New York City metropolitan area, free of charge. The show raised $2.3 million for the organization.

The bill also featured the first performance of Heart’s Ann and Nancy Wilson since their breakup in 2016, as well as Robert Plant, Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, Buddy Guy, Sheryl Crow, Grace Potter, Jimmie Vaughan, Mavis Staples, Taj Majal, former New York Yankee Bernie Williams (who is a great guitar player!) and Mavis Staples, along with younger artists including Hozier, Lukas Nelson (son of Willie), Larkin Poe and Marcus King, along with comedians Bill Murray and Martin Short.
