I will be there thanks to SuzieMay. Looking forward to a historic night. My first concert was Pink Floyd at the Garden on the Animals tour July 4th 1977. Roger Waters and I have have both aged a bit since then, but were still rocking. I can't wait to see Ed play with his favorites. It's great to see this lineup come together for such a worthwhile cause. Wednesday can't come soon enough. Maybe Ed will have a poster sold at the event for charity.
I'm so glad things worked out the way they did, Andrew! The concert is going to be spectacular, you obviously have to be there. Not to mention I also got something I've been wanting for a long time
Would love a show poster, but I get the feeling if there is, it won't be a screen print given the short time but who knows!
The “12-12-12” benefit for victims of Hurricane Sandy is shaping up to be the largest musical event in history, reaching nearly 2 billion people through television, radio and the Internet, the Madison Square Garden concert's producers said Friday.
Wednesday night's show gained even more star power, as the Rolling Stones joined the already massive lineup that includes Billy Joel, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band, Kanye West and The Who. Producers also revealed that Leonardo DiCaprio, Billy Crystal, Jake Gyllenhaal, Jon Stewart, Kristen Stewart are among the stars who will introduce the musical acts, as well as some of those who have helped victims of the superstorm.
The concert has already raised $30 million for the Robin Hood Foundation, which plans on distributing the proceeds from “12-12-12” as quickly as possible, according to the foundation's executive director David Saltzman, adding that every penny generated by the show and donated by the public during the show will go to help those in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut hurt by the storm.
“Our neighbors were killed,” Saltzman said, explaining the reason for the concert. “Our neighbors became homeless. Our neighbors lost their jobs. Right now, our neighbors are cold, our neighbors are hungry and our neighbors are lost. They need all of us to come together as one giant, caring community to help.”
The concert is expected to last more than four hours, though producer Harvey Weinstein said that Springsteen has already told him, “Nobody's pulling the plug at Madison Square Garden that night.”
Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.
Sorry, I haven't read the whole thread but does anyone know if a schedule has been released so I can work out the timing for trying to watch Ed + other bands in the online stream?
Cheers.

Thanks! And I didn't have to trade away any vinyl , just cash :? . Ha. Should be one to remember.
I think it will be an interesting show. I don't think it will be like a PJ show where you really get mentally into it since there will be lots of breaks and downtime I'm assuming. But I think that will be made up for in pure awesomeness of the musicians.
We'll it seems like a bunch of people are going, anyone plan on meeting up for a few drinks beforehand?
I really wish I could, but I'll be lucky if I make the show on time :( It would be perfect warm-up to the show, but alas my warm-up will have to be sprinting from midtown with a stop at a halal cart somewhere in between :fp:
I can't believe I'm going to be there Wednesday night... still pinching myself to make sure it's real. This is going to be epic, and I can't believe I was lucky enough to score a ticket at face value. Coworkers are now coming up to me to tell me that the Rolling Stones were just added. They are almost more excited than I am.

So excited for everyone who is going to attend that fantastic concert! Surely, it will be the most memorable event of the year for rock music lovers all aroung the world!!!
Can you please post your views and pics and all the goodies and anecdotes for those unlucky ones of us who won't attend?
I will try any how to record it for later viewing ....
Show starts at 7:15. Not 7:30 which is printed on tix. Doors at 6:15. I will be on that lineup. Ed will put his stamp on this event and bring what only he can bring to the festivities as he joins his idols on stage at the most famous arena on earth for a great cause. Here comes a new page in rock history. Can't wait!!
The first two artists approached were Bruce Springsteen and Paul McCartney, who both signed on immediately. And from there the roster started filling quickly, in part due to the musicians’ efforts: Eddie Vedder signed on after getting a call from Roger Waters, while McCartney reached out to Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters.
To quote the 10C from Newsletter #8: "Please understand we have a lot of members and it is very hard to please everybody. If you are one of those unhappy people...please call 1-900-IDN-TCAR."

I suppose I'll just have to suck it up That has got to be the coolest list of rockstars that are going to be under one roof! Not a Kanye fan but have to admit he will probably put on a good show.
