“A Gathering Of Friends” concert was recorded live in 2000 from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California and released on DVD on September 18, 2001.
In 2000, according to an Ultimate Classic Rock article and Broken Record podcast, just before this event, Michael McDonald was summoned to the trailer of one of the guest performers, Ray Charles, who demanded compensation for the show which Michael McDonald explained that the concert was for charity and no one got paid. Ray Charles angrily responded, adamantly spouted expletives, as Michael McDonald left the scene, found his way to the backstage area, and let out a little chuckle about the incident. In the end, Ray Charles played the gig without further incident. Ray Charles and his performance were not found on the DVD or any subsequent release of the concert.
“No Love To Be Found” was sung by Michael McDonald and Wendy Moten.
“Yah Mo B There” was sung by Michael McDonald and James Ingram.
“Heart To Heart” was sung by Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins.
“This Is It” was sung by Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins.
