Alison sings "Poppa Come Quick" + "You" with Bonnie Raitt as well as participating in the multi-artist encore. I'm not sure which/or both of the songs they will play on the live portion. With each guest doing two songs and the encore that sounds like it might be too much for a one hour show.
November 18 was not a good day for this show, it really gets in the way of the new Harry Potter movie. I'll have to tape Alison.

Ooo, Harry over Alison?? lol. I'm just kidding. I know a lot of people who are going to see the movie. Although I've seen all of the movies and my friend has told me about everything in the books, I'm still not that into it. This is just me though, I've just never really gotten into that sort of thing.

Between Harry and Alison ? I chose Alison with Bonnie Raitt even if I like Harry Potter too.

I just got to see the Decades special and "special" it was. As an old Bonnie Raitt fan this show was like Christmas. Not only was Alison's duet of You with Bonnie ilncredible, the comments the two women make about performing with each other were amazing to hear. When they finished singing, Bonnie puts her hand over her heart, a beautiful tribute to Alison. I wish someone could post the video or audio of their comments for everyone to hear (sorry, I don't have the technology to do so). I also hear they performed Papa Come Quick together but it isn't in the one-hour program. Has anyone seen or heard of a full version of the evening?
In addition to Alison singing You with Bonnie, also dueting with Raitt were Norah Jones, Keb Mo and Ben Harper. Bonnie also solo's with her band, performing many of Raitt's fabulous songs, giving you a very full hour of music.
One sweet moment at the end of the show -- after the full cast comes back to do a finale witih Raitt, Alison and Bonnie walk off the stage with their arms around each other. Obviously these two share a a lot of mutual respect. If you can, try to catch this special, it's a keeper.
