New York City's Nokia Theatre was sold out on Friday night (5/1) when it hosted the Road Recovery Benefit, featuring Iggy Pop [ tickets ], Billy Bragg [ tickets ], Jerry Cantrell [ tickets ], Perry Farrell [ tickets ], Tom Morello [ tickets ], Boots Riley, Gilby Clarke [ tickets ], Bun E. Carlos [ tickets ] and special guest Wayne Kramer [ tickets ] of MC5.

The non-profit group Road Recovery--established in 1998 to help at-risk youth--is led by entertainment industry professionals and mentors such as Joan Jett, Slash [ tickets ], and Ozzy Osbourne [ tickets ]. This year's benefit concert celebrated the launch of the Road Recovery Honors, for which the inaugural recipient, Kramer, got to choose an organization to be the focus of a private outreach event. Kramer selected Sing Sing prison, likely due to the fact that he did more than 2 years behind bars back in the '70s. Thus on Saturday (5/2), about 100 inmates were treated to a performance and an interactive discussion by Kramer and friends including Billy Bragg, Perry Farrell, Tom Morello, Jerry Cantrell and Gilby Clarke.
