Great Concert. Glad to see so many of the police and firefighters take part on stage.

Great to see The Who, David Bowie, and Elton John show support for America.

Highly Recommended.

nice to have this dvd to remember how wild the world is and how helpful many pepole are.

This is an awesome 2 disk concert. I saw it at a friend's house & went home & purchased it the next day. Very, very good live performances by every artist imaginable, at Madison Square Garden.

This is the 9/11 concert in MSG - it is not the full concert, U2's brilliant performance is not on this... very disappointing to find that out so buyer beware.

This video is great except it has been censored. My wife and I watched it live and when Hillary Clinton came out, she was boo'd but when we bought the video and watched it, they replaced the boo's with cheers. It should have been left the way it was.

The producer must be related to Michael Moore!

One star off that this set was edited at all; another star off for the extent of editing reported, which twists the sentiment expressed into political propaganda.

THE CONCERT FOR NEW YORK CITY is chock-full of remarkable performances and extraordinary emotion. Two moments in particular stand out for this reviewer and make this a must-have set.

The first came midway through the evening. Richard Gere mounted the stage and committed the single bravest act I'd ever witnessed. From the care taken with his wording, Gere must've had a good measure of the audience, caught as it was between two very strong emotions -- keening for its losses and raging for retribution -- so the crowd dissolving into a booing mob could've come as no surprise. (Me, I jumped to my feet, applauded and wept.) Still, Gere plainly hoped -- and I hoped along with him -- that some WOULD hear, that the events of 9/11 HADN'T robbed America (or the world) of rational thought, that the dream of our world at peace LIVED.

Since that night, I have longed to convey two words to Mr. Gere: THANK YOU.

America had one moment when the majority of the world stood by our side. We could've worked real miracles, but baser reactions stirred the country to seek blood-for-blood instead and the elect chose to betray rather than serve by debasing themselves before the mob. And now the bloodless battle for peace must begin anew. As Elton John once sung ("Seasons Reprise", ASIN B000001DXH), "For our world / the circle turns again." We have fallen from immeasurable heights, but we can rise, too, with new or renewed understanding. And hope.

The second moment that makes this set memorable comes at the end. No bravery, but the moment made me weep as well, mournful tears, for when Macartney introduced his anthem for the evening, "Freedom", the emphasis sat squarely on the edict to "FIGHT!" and spill even more blood. The sentimental appendage, "for freedom", rang hollow, as no more than an afterthought, weak-voiced and wavering, audience participation dwindling fast. Sad, but then Paul never was the Beatles' political mastiff.

No, for what it's worth, I don't expect a single reader will click Yes to say this review was helpful to them. But I HOPE, even so.

An amazing concert captured on this DVD. The love and passion for the fallen and living rescue workers at the World Trade Center will be forever remembered on this fantastic DVD. Excellent musical and personal performances. Heartwarming rememberances made by children of fallen fighters. The city and the world needed this concert and it shows!

A CONCERT FOR NEW YORK is a remarkable DVD that could serve to define the concept of catharsis. It takes the viewer through a troubling experience, fully explores the sadness of loss and offers a ray of hope that we can survive.

A grab bag of musical performances, short films and a parade of politicians and appearances by actors and actresses that was hosted by Billy Crystal, A CONCERT FOR NEW YORK was filmed in Madison Square Garden at a tender time in New York City: a mere five or six weeks after the September 11, 2001 and only a few days after anthrax was first discovered in our mail boxes.

A CONCERT FOR NEW YORK features unforgettable musical performances by classic rock legends (The Who, Mick Jagger with Keith Richards, David Bowie), pop superstars (Elton John, Billy Joel, Jon Bon Jovi, John Mellencamp) and hip hop performers (Jay-Z, Destiny's Child). It showcases short, perhaps 2 minute long films by New York City film directors (Martin Scorsese, Spike Lee, Ed Burns). And it includes comedy routines by notable SNL cast members (Jimmy Fallon, Adam Sandler).

But the real stars of this DVD just may be the firefighters and policemen who comprise the audience. Middle aged, wearing their uniforms and holding photos of their murdered colleagues and family members, this is not the youthful, glamorous audience one would expect to see at such a high profile event.

Crying, dancing, singing, looking confused by Jay-Z's performance and even laughing at a Billy Crystal joke about how because of the anthrax scare, all the rock stars back stage were for the first time in history running away from any white powder, the audience of first responders looked like for the first time in months they had a chance to let their hair down and enjoy life in a deeply troubled city.

While I completely understand the disappointment many viewers feel when they realize A CONCERT FOR NEW YORK was edited (some songs were deleted and the boos Hillary Clinton's appearance provoked were replaced by cheers), I still believe this is a valuable concert that anyone who was living in New York City on the morning of 9/11 will love.

Setting the tone for the evening, it begins with a solo David Bowie seated Indian-style on a stage playing a haunting rendition of Simon & Garfunkle's "America" on what looks like a children's miniature piano.

This performance, like so many you will see here, reveals how each of these songs takes on new meaning now that the horrors of terrorism have reached American shores.

Just try to listen to Bowie sing the following verse without remembering how we felt after we realized people who want to kill us are living next door to us:

"Laughing on the bus playing games with the faces
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
I said be careful his bowtie is really a camera."

As a long time fan of the Who and the Rolling Stones, I was most surprised by how much I loved the performances of artists who up until that point I thought were beneath me. But still I walked away from watching A CONCERT FOR NEW YORK with a newfound appreciation for Elton John, Billy Joel and Jon Bon Jovi.

In light of how all of these performances take on new meaning in a post 9/11 age, I wasn't surprised that Roger Daltrey whaling out "We won't be fooled again," would have a new significance. But I was pleasantly amazed that I could find any way to appreciate Jon Bon Jovi strut across the stage singing "It's my life. It's now or never. I ain't going to live forever."

Likewise Elton John's "Mona Lisa and Madhatters" and Paul McCartney's "Imagine" are haunting performances.

Probably the first time after 9/11 that people in Manhattan gave themselves permission to laugh and feel real joy, A CONCERT FOR NEW YORK is a wonderful snapshot of an odd time in New York City.

I have friends who live in California who simply do not get why this is such a great concert. On the evening I saw it when it was simulcast on VH-1 and virtually every broadcast TV station, I sobbed with profound sadness and cathartic joy. Every time I have seen it since I have had a similar experience that reminds me of those times when we New Yorkers were stumbling through the events of the day in a walking coma and suffering from varying degrees of post traumatic stress syndrome.

This is a must have for a music DVD collection. So many great singers!

A lot of undoubtely great performances by some of the world's greatest musical acts, including a lot of legendary artists.

I am however extremely dissapointed by the performances from all the SNL comedians, which were nothing but a very lame and absolutely boring attempt at trying to be funny. Jimmy Fallon's 80s medley was probably the second most pathetic thing I've ever seen at a live stage after Ashlee Simpson's Orange Bowl performance.

Despite the unfortunate historic events connotated with this incredible music event, during which I was just a naive 8th grader, this concert introduced me to some great music that still continues to inspire me today. After flicking through the TV channels until I came up to the first thing I saw on VH1, it was the Who doing Baba O' Riley at this concert. This was pretty much my very first conscious exposure to rock and roll, and what an amazing revelation it was! The Who saved this young impresionable mind from the attractive grip of banal MTV culture. I now have almost every Who CD and follow by my personal creed that the Who is the greatest rock and roll band in the world. I'm greatly thankful that such a phenomenal band was there to lighten the spirits of all those New Yorkers during those tough times with the healing power of Rawk and Roll! Oh yeah, and Bowie performs Heroes, one of the best songs he ever wrote, and it had an extra special impact on the audience that night.

Overall, 99% of this concert is very good. David Bowie, the Who, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Paul McCartney and Elton John all played fantastic sets here. But I have a problem with some of the other music. Eric Clapton plays "I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man," totally unreated to 9/11. Jay-Z also had no business appearing at this show, especially if the only piece he can come up with is "H to the Izzo." My other complaint is that this DVD is incomplete. Two Paul McCartney songs, one Eric Clapton song, one Goo Goo Dolls' first song, and a good cover of "With a Little Help From My Friends" are all missing. The entire 6-hour concert could've easily been released. But what's here, for the most part, is very good. So on the whole, this is a good buy.

It was a night of healing. It was a night of reconcilliation. It was a night for firefighters, policeman, paramedics, musicians, actors and "Saturday Night Live" alumni alike to join together and prove New york did not grow weak after 9/11. It grew stronger and this 5 - hour concert showed those shems in the Middle East right.

Disc 1 is chock full of memorable moments. For me, the highlights were Billy Joel doing "New York State Of Mind", Eric Clapton and Buddy Guy doing a scorching rendition of the blues standard "I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man" and Adam Sandler reviving Operaman. But as just about every reviewer pointed out, The Who blew everyone away. I think it was "Won't Get Fooled Again" that stood out. It was also a spectacular swan song for the band's bassist, John Enthwistle. This was his last live appearance ever. He died suddenly in June 2002.

Disc 2 is even better. My favorite performer here is Elton John, who delivers a powerful version of "Mona Lisas And Mad Hatters". Mick Jagger and Keith Richards do great versions of "Salt Of The Earth" and "Miss You", though I would have liked it if all of The Rolling Stones were onstage. Jimmy Falon does an interesting medley of 1980s' hits that includes "Who's Johnny", "Der Komisar", and "I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight". Paul McCartney brings down the house at the end. I really enjoyed it when Richard Gere got booed. He was asking for it.

Overall, a great concert.

Just a reminder that proceeds from the sale of this video still go to the Robin Hood Relief Fund.

I went to the mall and I purchased the concert and I was blown away at how many policeman,policewomen,firefighters and paramedics were there at the concert at Madison Square Garden a couple of days after the terorist attacks in America and I watched some of my favorite performers perform their songs I think everyone should get this concert and watch It.It's a blow out everyone will be moved by it I was so amazed and at the same time felt like I was there watching it please go buy this great concert on video.

This is a killer concert, and I was lucky enough to see it live on television. I do miss the live aspect of the DVD in that they edited out some of the mistakes and the booing of Hilary Clinton. While I understand why they cleaned things up, they mistakes were some of the best parts of the show. Melissa Etheridge came out and started singing, but the microphone was not working. This went on for a little bit and was great, but it was edited fom the DVD. The sound and the show is amazing, and it was great to see the reactions to the performers. Bill Joel doing Manhattan 2120, and the Who. Killer.

Paul McCartney, the Who, the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Elton John, David Bowie. This is a once-in-a-lifetime gathering of stars playing a benifit concert for 9/11. Most of the artists do a good job of choosing appropriate material -- Paul McCartney's "I'm Down" and "Yesterday." The Who's "Behind Blue Eyes" and "Won't Get Fooled Again." Yet some do not -- Jay-Z's "H To The Izzo" or Jimmy Falon's "'80's Medly." Nevertheless, however, we will never have another concert like this again.

The only thing that is missing from this DVD is when Hillary Clinton came onstage, she was heartly booed. I have the live video from VH1 and it is funny to watch. I was at the show, and people where shouting at her and her husband.

Besides that The Who stole the show....

Once again, the Who show just why they are the greatest Rock and Roll band to ever walk the earth. There show was simply amazing. To hear the ovation they got at the end was truly shocking. They get it started with Who Are You and Pete is just amazing in his windmilling. Entwistle keeps it all together on bass and Daltrey gets the crowd going, while Starkey does a fine job on drums. Baba O'reilly and the reaction the crowd gives after hearing the first few cords brings goosebumps to everyone. Daltrey shows hes still go it with a killer harmonica solo in the end. Behind Blue Eyes brings everyone down to tears, only to pick us up again at the end of the song. And in Wont Get Fooled Again, Townshend and Entwistle go crazy, while Daltrey wails away at our ear drums. Starkeys drum solo at the end is just fantastic, and Daltrey gives one more screaming "Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" at the end. They were simply amazing. As Billy Crystal said, they "Just blew me away. Absolutely blew me away."

This concert was shown on Tv in Australia but in a edited form & as such you did not get a true feel of the event.After the terrible events of 9/11 this was truly an event the US needed, for it showed the world why it is such a great country.This is not a concert as such but an emotional rollercoaster where in between acts various stories of herorism are told,i am not a person that gets emotional but i defy anyone not to get a bit teared up watching this.

It is hard to pickout highlights as all involved shined.For musical performers Bon Jovi,Elton John & Billy joel,David Bowie,Paul mcCartney (his new song Freedom was the perfect way to end the concert)& The Who who's performance lifted the roof of.There were many guest presenter's former President Bill Clinton was there & gave a good speach,but Adam Sandler's performance as operaman is very funny you will die of laughter.I could go on & on.But put simply buy this DVD you will not regret it.

God Bless America indeed.

These DVD is packed with great and emotional experiences and performances. At the time this event really helped to start our healing and helped to get us through those terrible times. This DVD is a must have commemorative of that day and that time. And a commemorative of the start of our healing. As far as the performances go they were all great; but I have to say, The Who just stole the show, they were on fire.

...and NYPD, FDNY, the EMT's and the PAPD got one - in spades. It's a shame that it took an event like September 11th to motivate us to show those guys how much we appreciate their hard work.

Stunning, emotional performances from Sir Paul, Sir Elton, Eric, Billy, Melissa (oh, if only Bruce had been there)...

...and then there was The Who. Their performance alone makes the DVD a must-own. Absolutely shattering. Their best performance in a lifetime of memorable shows. As Roger Daltrey pointed out after the death of bassist John Entwistle, "... The Concert for New York City was John's last performance in America with the Who. What a way to go out!"

As a still-heartbroken Entwistle fan of 35-years' standing, I can't add too much more to that statement. Long live rock, indeed.

The music here is not my complaint (it's mostly bland but occasionaly quite stirring)-it's VH1's pathetic attempt to alter history.The crowd BOOED Hillary Clinton at the concert (quite heartily,I might add) but on this DVD you hear cheers-WHY? The crowd assembled were sending a message-why would VH1 risk ruining it's reputation(no jokes here please!) by insulting our intelligence and twisting history to protect their favorite politican? You know what,I wish I could revisit history and change the things I don't like,too...I'd start by erasing the terroristic acts that made this DVD a reality. Shame on VH1...

I've heard people say that this Concert for New York City is the greatest rock event since Woodstock, and I must say I totally agree, for several reasons: Concert for NYC had many more songs about freedom, a wider variety of musicians, and powerful speakers. There are also many musical treasures in this concert -- the reunion of the Who, the youthful spirit of the Backstreet Boys, the appearance of two Rolling Stones, the humor of the Operaman and the beautiful soul of Destiny's Child. First and formost, however, the greatest advantage of the Concert for NYC over Woodstock, is the presence of a Beatle. I have the VHS of Woodstock too, and I' not saying it's bad, but it was a lot different. This is people uniting to fight for peace. This is the event that shows a strong country can beat a weak country. This is our generation accomplishing the dream of America, and like McCartney, "I wil fight for the right to live in freedom." So why only 4 stars? Because of the crap -- Jay-Z's "H to the Izzo" (which, by the way, he shortened to keep the interest high) and John Fallon's "'80's Medley." What the hell was that? One more thing -- some songs on Woodstock would have worked very nicely on the Concert for NYC too (eg. Hendrix's "Star Spangled Banner.") Nevertheless, overall, this is a good buy, so go for it.

I am a NYC Police Officer who found comfort and catharsis at this concert. I am grateful to those performers and to the Americans celebrating this music. Seeing the faces of my fellow Americans who gave themselves over to Rock and Roll for a mercurial moment made me proud yet overwhelmingly sad. I know that a lot of my fellow civil servants often have trouble reaching certain levels of emotion and, through good old fashioned Rock and Roll, we were able to let go. Listening again to those first few crashing chords from THE WHO still gives me chills. I know how every one of us was feeling at that moment.

This is not just great classic music -- this music defines us. We grew up on it. Billy Joel, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, James Taylor --this music fueled our youths and made us who we are. After September 11, 01 we found new meaning to these lyrics just as we had discovered more about ourselves. We should be proud to celebrate this music, in a country that lets us play it freely and with the volume all the way up. It reminds us how powerful music can be and how healing. I replay this concert over and over. I recall the images of every wife and girlfriend, wearing their hero's hat and clutching them with all of their might, grateful for that precious moment together. I have new-found love for life, for life's simple pleasures.

Perhaps the concert's newest artist summed it as well as the veteran acts that night. In a song I have loved since I first heard it last summer, though I never fully knew what it meant until that night: "Five For Fighting", SUPERMAN -- "I wish that I could cry. Fall upon my knees. Find a way to lie. About a home I'll never see. It may sound absurd but don't be naive. Even heroes have the right to bleed. I may be disturbed but don't you concede? Even heroes have the right to dream. It's not easy to be me...."

God Bless America.

In two dvds, totaling nearly five hours, you can see the concert for New York City. It's all there, the music, the entertainment, the speeches, the cheers, the booing (remember Richard Gere?). I only sat through about two hours worth, the night it was originally telecast live, so I was glad to be able to buy this dvd so I could see the rest. There are lots of audience reaction shots but the panning does not get in the way of good coverage of what was happening on stage. There is almost no editing as this dvd is a reproduction of the live tv broadcast. Fortunately, the director of the live event had done a great job. The sound quality is very good.

What intereted me the most were the performances of classic rock stars. Keith Richards and Mick Jagger, with a large backup band demonstrated that the Rolling Stones are shadows of their old selves. On the other hand, the Who was incredible and brought down the house. I had favorably reviewed the Who's live at Royal Albert Hall dvd and the four song performance on this dvd was another blockbuster, particularly Baba O'Riley. They still play as a solid rock band rather than as a bunch of has beens propped up by a gaggle of backup musicians. Pete Townshend is incredible on the guitar (he now plays Fender Stratocasters) and John Entwistle is better than ever on the bass. Roger Daltry remains a first rate lead singer.

John Mellencamp performed, including his song "Little Pink Houses" with the satyric lyrics "ain't that America?" The purpose of this performance, however, was to honor America and this song, nonetheless, worked really well. Paul McCartney was also on hand as one of the organizers of the event. His talents are not quite what they once were but his enthusiasm and great personality made his performance A#1 all the way!!

Like I say, I was mostly interested in the classic rock stars but, it's all here. Whatever interests you will make this dvd well worth purchasing. I highly recommend it.

...It was several weeks later, this night, October 20, 2001, that America honored our heroes by doing something we do best, throw together memorable concerts....
David Bowie starts out playing his tune, "America" and then we move on to the heart-pumping sounds of Bon Jovi, Jay-Z, and the Goo-Goo Dolls. Next is one of New York's own, Billy Joel. He takes us through on a trip of New York, singing about his "New York State of Mind." Destiny's Child entertains us with a few light tunes, and then Eric Clapton with Buddy Guy, playing a nice-moving tune, "I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man." Adam Sandler takes the stage next, eagerly displaying his grief over Guliani's departure and his confusion over how "Tough Osama" is "exterminating" in a cave.
Disc 2 starts off with Mike Moran offering some Irish Wisdom to his good friend, Mr. Bin Laden. The Who then delivers an absolutely amazing performance (almost half of the second disc), rocking out on three songs for over 30 minutes...a performance to go down as one of the greatest sets of all time. Disc 2 is not as jam-packed as the first, but finishes out with Paul McCartney singing several songs,including never-aging renditions of "Yesterday" and "Let It Be". The CD ends with Paul McCartney and most of the artists there that night (minus a Mick Jaggar) playing his new song "Freedom" with Eric Clapton taking numerous exhilerating solos.
A CD collection to be remembered, a collection for the masses, a collection which no other can be compared to...
It was this night the greatest from all ends of the silver screen and the LP, from the "American Bad (...)" himself to American icons such as Jerry Seinfeld, James Lipton, and Billy Joel, that these images of America took a step back to focus the light on America's NEW heros,...

This is an awsome DVD. I love the music, comedic sketches and everything else about this concert. It can become very emotional at times! A must have for any collection.

This DVD is, in a word, awesome. There isn't a better way to describe this tribute to the sacrifice of thousands of New York's Police, Port Athority, and Fire-fighters. Not only was this concert an inspirational tribute, but this night was the single most significant musical event in my life. The performances came from the heart and the faces in the audience were those of true New York hereos, and it was good to see them having a fantastic evening; one they truly deserved. The best performance, to me, was that of Daltrey, Towshend, Entwislte, and Starkey. The Who seemed to be the most enjoyed performance of the night and proved that the group still had their awe inspiring talent even while pushing sixty (except Zak Starkey, the new drummer, and son of Ringo Starr). The only reason I gave this DVD four stars instead of five, is the fact that it is edited from it's originally aired broadcast. On October 20, 2001, the fact that the show was put together in less than a month was evident. To me, it was also a testimony of the true dedication and love that the musicians showed to these great hereos; that they were willing to give whatever they could to show them a good time, even for only one night. A few moments of when the crowd got a little out of hand, or simply too rowdy for the taste of the producers, were also edited. Included were the moments when the crowd nearly booed Senator Hilary Clinton off the stage, and when they became rather upset with a comment made by Richard Gere on focusing the energy of the night not on revenge, but peace. The moment that got to me, however, was FDNY's Mike Moran and his views on what was to be done with that Osama Bin Laden. Let's just say, I can't really repeat was was said, and aparently, neither could Columbia Music Video, the production company. This DVD is almost exactly the same os the Christmas re-broadcast of the concert, which I caught on VHS (Bootleg, shh!). But, if you liked the concert at all, I recomend this DVD. It's better than no DVD at all, right? And, either way, you girls should be happy to here that Roger Daltrey hasn't lost his stunning good looks after all these years. After all, I think he's sexy and I'm at least 20 years too young! ;) Don't forget, proceeds go to the Robin Hood Relief Fund so, buy this DVD anyway!

As a New Yorker who went through the Sept. 11 tragedy, I experience this concert as one of the most poignant memorials I've witnessed. These top artists sing their souls out as a tribute to those who lost so much. In one moment in time the police, firemen and rescue workers are able to release deep emotion through music.

I would rate the concert itself 5 stars, but the DVD makes me mad, for several reasons. First of all, they cut out the booing from the audience during the Hillary Clinton segment, which I think is totally wrong, and not because I have anything against Hillary. They also cut out some of my favorite performances from the original concert broadcast (the first broadcast on VH1, not the "encore" broadcast which was more similar to the DVD), including the Goo Goo Dolls' song "Iris" and an Eric Clapton song. It's unfathomable to me why they cut those parts out.

Furthermore (you will probably only care about this if you are a Bowie fan!): in the original broadcast, you could SEE David Bowie from the moment he opened the concert by playing "America", and his performance was followed by video images of New York accompanied by U2's song "New York". In the encore version and DVD, they cut out the U2 song altogether, and put the New York video segment in during the first half of Bowie singing "America", so that you don't see him until halfway through the song. This is extremely disappointing to me, since his performance of "America"-- including the first sight of him sitting cross-legged on the stage playing an omnichord-- is one of my favorite parts of the concert, and also because I LOVED the New York video accompanied by the U2 song (they worked together so perfectly I had thought it was a U2 video).

The concert itself is incredible, and it's certainly worth owning on DVD, if you don't have a moral problem with the censorship of some boos from the audience. Just be aware that it is NOT the original full-length concert, which in my opinion was better.. and especially if you are a Bowie or Goo Goo Dolls or Clapton fan, I suggest that you try to borrow someone's home recording of the original broadcast!!

I did see the live concert on VH-1. The quality of the DVD is great (as would be expected from a DVD). They did a good job of cleaning-up the audio. The Who was awesome as well as most of the other performances. HOWEVER, they cut out the second Eric Clapton song as well as the first song performed by the Goo Goo Dolls in favor of stuff that was utter [disgust] (Jay-Z, Jimmy Fallon's 80's melody, Hillary Clinton, and Slick Willy just to mention a few). And speaking of Hillary, they eddited out the boo's and hisses when she took the stage and replaced them with more cheers. Nice rewriting of history, but what else do you expect from a bunch of socialists. If they didn't like boo's and hisses, why didn't they just completely get rid of Richard Geer? He was a joke! For all of the edditing, they did do a nice job making everyting flow (especially with Melissa Ethridge).

I WATCHED THIS CONCERT AND LOVED EVERY BIT OF IT! I EVEN BEGAN TO LIKE NEIL YOUNG, WHO PLAYED HIS GUITAR AND SANG "IMAGINE"WHICH MADE FLUID EXPEL FROM MY EYES. IN MY OPINION, SEEING THIS CONCERT IS IMPARATIVE FOR THOSE WHO LOVE, AND CARE ABOUT ALL OF THOSE WHO WERE LOST SEPTEMBER 11, 2001. THESE TALENTED, ADORED, WONDERFUL, MUSICIANS OBVIOUSLY DO.

Great Concert. Who performance superior to their Royal Albert Hall Concert (also on DVD). Disc may have problems getting past the Columbia Music Video logo set up on Oritron DVD players (helped prompt me to upgrade player!).

The only way a person could truely understand the impact of this concert is if they were there, which I was. Here you will find some of the greatest musicians of all time performing together. Where else would you find Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, The Who, Elton John, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, James Taylor, and so many other founding fathers of rock n' roll, all in one concert? Just look at the bill and you will see why it is one of the greatest concerts ever performed. Having it on DVD is a way to experience it all over again.
