Vernon Reid and the Roots 1999 tribute? Anyone?

Used to be a Living Color fan so I decided to check what they've been up to for the last 15 yrs! And found this:

"He [Vernon Reid] performed "Party 'Til The End of Time" at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) with The Roots, an end of the millennium tribute featuring the music of Prince's album "1999"." http://en.wikipedia.org/w...ernon_Reid

I don't remember ever hearing about that. Anyone got details?
(Is this the right forum?)

Living Color had a B-Side cover of 17 Days on their Auslander CD-Single.
