    Despite the fact that the news organizations have done a terrible job reporting what is still going on, there are folks still in extremely dire straights.

    Yes, NY/NJ is very lucky to get this sort of star power to support its efforts, but the gov't has failed this area no less than it did in Katrina, but for some reason the news organizations haven't deemed it as worthy as NOLA to get the images and messages across. Hopefully tonight they'll show some of the terrible situations that still exist, and we can all pitch in and help get these folks back on their feet. NYers are resilient, but this was a huge blow, and many are still down.!

    i definitely agree that with every disaster the media moves on well before everyone is out of hard times but Sandy wasn't even 25% of Katrina. 100 something dead compared to 1800? Not really comparable. But yes people still need help big time.

    Yeah, who's that choad? Should've just had Vedder the whole time if Waters wasn't gonna sing.

    Did the sax player behind EV have the creepiest smile or what?

    Well, that was tremendous. Just wonderful. I've loved that song for so long.

    Now, as for what Adam Sandler just did to "Hallelujah," I hope Leonard Cohen tracks him down and slaps him. I cannot believe that just happened. :evil:

    What that really Roger up there on stage?? I could've sworn that was Gary Busey....
  • What the fuck, is he just playing with Waters? He wasn't in the last two coming ups.

    That sucks. He did an awesome job, but come for one song??

    Loved Adam Sandler - the only one brave enough to sing after Eddie! Loving this concert!

    Eddie might come back. Springsteen wasn't listed with Bon Jovi
