Rhino has set a Feb. 14 release date for “Lotta Love Concert,” a tribute to late vocalist Nicolette Larson staged Feb. 21-22, 1998, at the Santa Monica (Calif.) Civic Auditorium. Best known for her 1979 top 10 Billboard pop hit cover of Neil Young’s “Lotta Love,” Larson died in 1997 at the age of 45 after suffering a cerebral edema.
The event featured performances from Dan Fogelberg, Joe Walsh, Jackson Browne, Emmylou Harris, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Jimmy Buffet, Carole King, Linda Ronstadt and Little Feat with Bonnie Raitt, a number of whom Larson recorded with in her lifetime.
The entire ensemble performed “Lotta Love” as well as a rendition of King’s classic “You’ve Got a Friend,” which closes out the set. Proceeds from the disc will benefit the Nicolette Larson Pediatric Endowment Fund at UCLA’s Mattel Childrens’ Hospital, as did the original shows.
