    Seems like almost too many performers for a Wednesday night, so I'm assuming there will be a lot of forced collaborations which sometimes work out; kinda like a Grammy thing.

    I like just about all the performers including Bon Jovi & Billy Joel but would have no problem with an expensive ticket price if it were simply Eddie & a ukelele :D

    I am trying to score tix. Event is sponsored by Chase which happens to be my primary credit card so hoping for a Chase Presale. The public on sale is Mon at noon but that will be a fiasco with scalper "Bot " programs scamming all tix within 30 seconds. Presales are the only hope for non scalpers. Fingers crossed. The Jersey Shore is part of my sales territory for my job and I have met a number of people who have lost use of their homes for the foreseable future. I know one person who lost all three of her family's cars. This concert is much needed.

    Regards, Andrew

    Besides that, the list is alphabetical.
  • Will be fun! But at the same time to bad it's just Vedder and not more members of PJ or PJ proper.

    Actually, it's 12/21/12 which is the winter solstice, which arguably can be considered the beginning of the year if you want to organize it seasonally. Though I don't have much evidence (as i didn't bother to research it) my theory is that they stopped on the winter solstice because they either bot bored/tired, ran out of room on the stone circle, or that is as far as they got by the time they were conquered.

    I read somewhere -- on here? on the email from Chase or TM or MSG? -- that it will be on a bunch of channels -- NBC, CBS, Showtime, etc. The website says "Clear Channel Media and Entertainment, The Madison Square Garden Company and The Weinstein Company —the same group that produced and sponsored the historic 9/11 benefit “The Concert for New York City”— have come together once again to present "12.12.12" the Concert For Sandy Relief. "

    The 9/11 concert was broadcast. The website also says broadcast info to follow. So those of us who cannot get tickets or who cannot afford tickets will be able to watch at home.

    I wonder if the Stones make a surprise appearance since they are in town? And totally unrelated to this, I wonder if Eddie will show up at one of the Stones gigs...
