I agree, the show was a first class stunner. The people I expected to be
great were even better than I expected - like Neil and Bruce and U2. Wyclef
Jean was inspired, and Eddie Vedder was riveting. Such an amazing range of
artists and such a range of choices of songs. I mean who would have expected
Fred Durst and Johnny Rzeznicek(sp?) doing a Pink Floyd song? And doing it
so well?
And that Alicia Keyes blew me away as well. I saw her on the MTV awards and
thought she stole the show. Last night proved to me that she isn't a one
trick pony either. Strange, Jerry, I was also reminded of you-know-who while
Alicia was singing. The thought immediately flashed through my head that she
could definitely do Joni's songs justice.
I presume there will be a CD of this show on the market soon.

It was a true class act, no matter what anyone's politics are. I was most
impressed with Neil Young, Bruce, and Paul Simon. And I was knocked out by
Alicia Keyes. Though only 20 she is the real deal. Reminded me of Aretha
Franklin during her Columbia years. And every time i heard "the lines are
open" it reminded me of you-know-who.
