Midway through his set Mark played a stripped down version of Amy Winehouse’s ‘Rehab’ after which he commented:
“If you love Amy and her music make sure you clap your hands right now. I went to her service yesterday and a Rabbi said ‘a persons life is measured in deeds, not years’, hers was pretty f*cking special. I’m not getting emotional or morbid but it’s nice to share this moment with people who appreciate good music. Amy Winehouse was a genius and has made more brilliant music than I’ll ever make”.
Mark invited Charlie Waller of The Rumble Strips to the stage for an encore of ‘Back to Black’ (Amy had once told Mark that The Rumble Strips version was ‘f*cking better than ours’). The night ended with another emotional rendition of ‘Valerie’, this time lead vocals were provided by Amy Winehouse’s two backing singers of the last ten years along with the entire Greenwich Summer Sessions audience who Mark invited to sing as loud as they could.
