Big Star’s classic (and final) studio album Third was given tribute on 3/26 at Baruch College’s Mason Hall. Rolling Stone has a report you can read here. I wish I could have made it to this one. Not only was the lineup fantastic (Ira Kaplan, Matthew Sweet and *gasp* Michael Stipe), but Third is a severely underrated album, even in Big Star terms. Hopefully this was not a one-off show and this will be taken on the road.
