Eddie Vedder to perform at Concert For Sandy Relief

You don't think Eddie will play on his own?

Um, yeah, so the Rolling Stones were just added.

I'm almost afraid to go now. I might pass out just from being in the same room with all that music awesomeness!

(no, you may not have my ticket)

The Stones, The Who, Clapton and a Beatle!

In the same room. This is like nothing we've ever seen before.

And Ed with his idols

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.

Last line from Bruce (via Newsday) :shock:


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, 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.
