I was in Austin for SXSW when Chilton died. I sensed the shock and sadness throughout that day, especially since Big Star was set to play on Saturday night. At first, we weren't sure if the band would still play, would want to play, how they could play, etc. Then we got word that a bunch of other musicians would step in to help the remaining members of the band. I was lucky enough to be there, and it was a brilliant way to end SXSW and pay tribute to Chilton. It was special. The band and audience members were teary-eyed at times. I am so glad I could be there.

There's some coverage of it here:
