"Few events can boast headliners like Tim Cook, Norah Jones, Jonathan Ive, Al Gore and Coldplay. But Apple's campus-wide celebration of the life of Steve Jobs last Wednesday was hardly an ordinary event. The entire Cupertino-based company was crammed into its outdoor amphitheater; Apple stores shut around the world as retail employees watched live. \nThe Apple family is a fairly insular one, and outsiders were not admitted to this moving tribute to its fallen leader. On Monday, however, the company began streaming a replay of the event online. You can watch it here, and we highly recommend it: 84 minutes of memories, catharsis and great music. But if you're pressed for time, peruse our slideshow of some of the event's best quotes and performances. \n\n\nSteve Jobs: An Apple Celebration\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSteve Remembered\nGiant black and white photographs of Jobs were draped around the campus amphitheater. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApple CEO Tim Cook\n\"The last two weeks have been the saddest of my life, by far. But Steve would have wanted the cloud to lift from Apple.\"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSteve, by his successor\n\"He had the curiosity of a child and the mind of a genius ... he said 'simple can be harder than complex. You have to work hard to make your thinking clean enough, make it simple. But once you get there, you can move mountains.' Steve never followed the herd. He always did what he thought was right, not what was easy. He never accepted the merely good.\" \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBill Campbell, Apple board of directors\n\"Steve challenged everything. He dismissed as arrogant the technology leaders who thought we were stupid that we can't use these devices. He saw the future. Nothing would deter him.\"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen Steve Met Siri\nAt the end of a tearful address, Campbell recalled one of the last times Jobs attended an Apple board meeting and tried Siri, the voice recognition tool in the then-unreleased iPhone 4S: \"He asked, 'Siri, are you a man or a woman?' Siri said, 'they have not assigned me a gender, sir.'\"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNorah Jones\nThe Grammy award-winner, a favorite of Jobs', performed three melancholy songs: \"The Nearness of You,\" \"If I Were A Painter\", and the Bob Dylan tune \"Forever Young.\" \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAl Gore, Apple board member and former Vice President\n\"People can experience love in the use of technology that erases the barriers between them and what they want to connect to ... When he left us, he took with him the love of millions of people. There are millions of pieces of Steve's heart out there all over the world.\"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJonathan Ive, Apple's Design Chief\n\"Steve used to say to me a lot, 'hey Jonny, here's a dopey idea.' sometimes they were truly dreadful. But sometimes they took the air from the room and left us both completely silent. Bold, crazy, magnificent ideas or quiet simple ones, which in their subtlety and detail were utterly profound. He understood ideas begin as fragile thoughts, so easily compromised.\"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIve on Jobs\n\"I loved his intensity and his surgically precise opinion. He constantly questioned: is this good enough, is this right? Despite all his successes, he never presumed we would get there in the end.\"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLaurene Powell Jobs\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nColdplay\nThe British band performed \"Yellow,\" \"Viva La Vida\", \"Fix You\" and \"Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall.\"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChris Martin on Jobs\nColdplay's frontman recalled one time he met Jobs before a performance at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View -- and the Apple founder fixed his Macbook.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCook's Note of Caution\n\"There's one more thing he leaves us with: each other. Because without him, Apple would have died in the late 1990s, and the vast majority of us would never have met. He thought about Apple until his last day. Among his last advice: to never ask what he would do. Just do what's right. He saw Disney paralyzed after Walt's passing. He did not want this to occur to Apple.\" \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTim Cook Wraps Up\n\"There are no words in Webster that will express our sadness, or our gratitude for the opportunity to have worked with the world's best genius. Steve, we will miss you forever.\" \n\n\n\n\n\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
