I was lucky to get tickets for Stephest Colbchella ’012 in NYC. Comedy Central put together a music festival featuring Grandmaster Flash, Fun., Grizzly Bear, Santigold, and The Flaming Lips; hosted by Stephen Colbert for ‘The Colbert Report’. Here are some pictures and videos to recap the night.

Second half of the show is full of new, unreleased songs.

Tonight was the 12th annual fundraiser for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, held at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York. After an evening of dining and a round of auctions, including an exclusive trip to Aspen via a G4 jet selling at $60k, the crowd wait anxiously for the night’s special performance. A humorous Brian Williams introduced Sir Elton John to the stage. Hits such as “Tiny Dancer”, “Rocket Man”, and “The Circle of Life/Can You Feel the Love Tonight?” were played. Here’s my favorite from The Lion King.
