"Dead Man Walking" was an acclaimed film that inspired an acclaimed album of music exploring its theme of capital punishment. Now writer-director Tim Robbins and Sister Helen Prejean, whose book was the basis for the movie, are carrying the message with Not In Our Name: Dead Man Walking - The Concert at the Shrine Auditorium, featuring some of the soundtrack and album participants. Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder and Jeff Ament (collaborating with Rahat Nusrat Ali Khan and Dildar Hussian), Tom Waits, Ani DiFranco, Steve Earle, Lyle Lovett, Michelle Shocked and score composer David Robbins are on the bill in a show that benefits the Murder Victims Families for Reconciliation organization and Prejean's Hope House. Not In Our Name: Dead Man Walking - The Concert at the Shrine Auditorium, 665 W. Jefferson Blvd. $30-100 (213) 749-5123
