Favorite Tribute Albums?

The "Stay Awake" Wharfy mentions is quite good.

Here’s a YT link to the album.

Don’t believe anyone has mentioned the Dylan 30th Anniversary Concert recording. 

 

I liked this one especially:

I have to say, though, that as a rule I find the Tribute genre pretty uninspiring. How often does a cover truly equal an original performance, let alone surpass it?  Not that often, to my ears. Emmy Lou Harris is pretty consistently satisfying in this regard but I can’t think of anyone else, off-hand.
