TONIGHT'S MUST-SEE
“In Performance at the White House,” 8 p.m., PBS.
Memphis was once the center of the blues and soul world. The Stax record label and its subsidiaries triumphed with Otis Redding, Mavis Staples, Isaac Hayes, Carla Thomas and more.
Now that music is celebrated by people ranging from Sam Moore, 77, to “American Idol” alumnus Joshua Ledet, 20. Booker T. Jones leads the band, backing many of the originals — Staples, William Bell, guitarist Steve Cropper and harmonica great Charlie Musselwhite. They’re joined by Memphis native Justin Timberlake, plus Alabama Shakes, Queen Latifah, Ben Harper and Cyndi Lauper.
I believe it will also be streamed at http://www.whitehouse.gov/live

Looks like, from looking on some PBS sights, this has already taken place, and the PBS showing tonight is after the fact. Am I seeing this wrong?

Harper - you are correct but this is the first time it has aired anywhere.

Go ahead and play the blues if it'll make you happy.

Loved Charlie and Ben. It sounded to me like someone changed keys and forgot to tell Charlie for the Cyndi number. He still managed to make it sort of fit.
