12.12.12 - The Concert For Sandy Relief

Just amazing. The Stones were the only real disappointment. The Who and Alicia Keys were the best.

Was a fantastic concert for a great cause. Was already in NYC on vacation and lucky enough to get a ticket. Enjoyed everyone but Kanye West. The "oldies" were still goodies. Glad to have been a part of this once in a lifetime event!

Since I was personally affected by the devastation of Sandy this concert was particularly meaningful for me. To see such a collection of talent on one night on one stage and knowing that all the $ was going to Sandy relief was fantastic. It was great to see the The Who even though I had seen them last week and the Stones who I went to see the next night as well as Billy Joel and surprise guest Michael Stipe who I hadn't seen live in several years. Seeing Paul McCartney and the Fire Fighters together on stage at the end bought back memories of the Concert for New York, the last event for charity that I had attended at MSG. The 6 hours passed in a flash and the show was flawlessly produced. Truly a memorable night.

This concert was definitely the Woodstock of our generation. Never again will you see all the legends of rock n roll on the stage in one evening.

The most amazing night hard to describe the feeling of being there .The whole event was done so well. Many of the Heroes of Sandy were honored appropriately throughout the night As far as the music and talent was incredible. I would have liked the Rolling Stones and Eric Clapton to play more Kanye West to play much less and not in a skirt . Adam Sandler hysterical drunk uncle skit not. The telethon stars were great Still processing what I experienced so many unbelievable moments from start to finish

Ok. Imagine you are sitting in an arena. The lights go down. Bruce Springsteen appears. Then Roger Waters with Eddie Vedder. Bon Jovi. Alicia Keys. Eric Clapton. The Rolling Stones. The Who. Billy Joel. Paul McCartney, who reunites the surviving members of Nirvana and shreds it. Throw in Kanye, Chris Martin, a very funny Adam Sandler, an annoyingly inappropriate Brian Williams (who cares?) Sounds like one of those weird dreams you struggle to remember the next morning because it must mean something monumental. It was. And it did. And I was there.

Music, sound, lighting and staging was unreal. Stones, 2 songs? Kanye - 45 minutes? Please. Bands were all legends. I am huge Bruce fanatic but Waters was the best.

Perhaps after only Woodstock, I think this will go down as the single-greatest musical event of all-time. The lineup of artists was absurd. Although it won't be considered as such, for me, on a personal level, I'd put it higher than Woodstock. No, I did not attend Woodstock (as it took place 10 years before I was born), but it was a one-evening, indoor event. Not three days in the open air. Also, not for hundreds of thousands to flock to... it was relatively intimate with only about 15,000 people in attendance although billions watched worldwide. It was an evening I'll never forget!

What a scintillating night. So exciting to see all those older English rockers looking so good. Plus their voices were still strong and uplifting. They were great. Roger Waters with Eddie Vedder. Bruce & Jon. Chris Martin & Micheal Stipe. Sir Paul & Alicia Keys. This is by far the greatest and most heartfelt concert I ever went to. Also the most expensive but my boyfriend and I both agreed it was a $1000 well spent. We live in NJ and he was also born and raised in NJ and loves the shore so this was our contribution to re-building our beautiful state.

I feel very lucky that I attended this event. I've never been more proud of NY or MSG in the over 40 years I've gone to events there.

What an amazing show. Really enjoyable. Would have liked a little more Stones but beggers cant be choosers.

Great show. Highs and lows . One of a kind. Biggest dissappointment sir paul McCartney. weak setlist. Nirvana reunion weak what about a finale with paul, bruce, billy, kayne, alicia rocking to some beatle songs really poor job of finale by organizers

The experience was mind numbing! My brother and I enjoyed every single second of the show. There wasn't any perform that made us think "ah, that was okay, could be better...", they performed to the best of their ability and it made for a fantastic show. It's for a good cause and I only wish that they do something like this every once and a while...Sandy Screw-Ya!!!!

What an amazing line-up. Legend after Legend performed. It was a nostalgic treat. Amazing how headliners can be on time if they have to. While the seats were expensive, they were for a good cause. Unlike the Stones concert at the Barclay Center. To charge the prices they did -- the show should have taken place on the moon. I don't think their pocketbooks needed to overcharge as much as their egos did. Reprehensible. Will this be the new norm? I'm out.

This show was the best Ive ever seen!! Enjoyed each and every preformance.!!!!

There are no words for the awesome moments in this show - too many to recount

I really do not know where to start to review one of the most phenomenal nights of music I have ever seen - people keep asking me what was the highlight? When I mention how awesome Roger Waters was, then I all of a sudden remember how The WHo rocked the joint, but then I loved the Chris Martin and REM surprise....and Clapton was great. Jumpin Jack Flash was a highlight and yes everyone and their brother wanted the Stones to play longer..but hey, You can't always get what you want...I think they only thing that could have been better, would have been to start the night off with someone other than Bruce to get the crowd into it...then to have Bruce and the Band rock the house. I am a huge Bruce fan and as much as I loved their set, he deserved to have a place later in the night. The bookending with Bruce opening and Paul closing probably seemed a great idea, but did not work well in theory. And Kanye could have opened it, and then left the building as far as I was concerned. He seemed an odd fit to the show...what is he doing with a bunch of old British Rock and Roll icons? Oh yeah, Clapton was terrific and so was Billy - his voice is still amazing and he is an entertainer extraordinaire...enough said,..back to my coma

been to many, many concerts in my life, but this one topped all. doubt there will ever be another like it -- and hope to God there will never again be such a need.

Kicking it off with Bruce then roger waters clapton and every british rocker over 68 was an immortal evening. The who really took it up a notch and Alicia Keys was such a wonderful infusion of American music. I think Kanye got invited to the wrong party should have sent him over to a skyfall showing with his kilt!!!!

I was fortunate to purchase tickets directly thru ticketmaster as I saw many who allowed greed to take over & buy them only to put them on stubhub for profit. This was an historic event both in tragedy for my fellow New Yorker's who lost; life; home & possessions & this benefit concert showed the compassion of the artists who performed as well as the millions & millions of people throughout the world who watched & donated. Sincere Thank you from a native New Yorker

Best concert that has ever played or will ever play

The music was amazing, one of the best concerts ever. Very touching and emotional videos. I had a blast. I never was a Bon Jovi fan before this show but I am now, they blew me away

Best concert of all time!! Nothing could compare but I wsh there were other this tat coud cuz it was beyond amazing!!

I was lucky enough to get tickets to the 12.12.12 Concert and I think it was the most amazing concert I have ever attended! Nothing can compare to the musical mastery of Springsteen, Bon Jovi, Clapton, Joel, the Who, the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, and the rest, all on one stage, helping people who have lost everything. It was a nite of great music for an even better cause! I can't imagine any other concert ever coming close to the spectacle of this nite!

An incredible show and production! Since it was being televised, the planning of the show was down to the second. Very much appreciated.

I never saw, and probably will never again, see so many A-list musicans at one time, in one place and on one stage ! It was awesome ! The performer's setlist were carefully chosen for the event, which was to help the victims of Hurricane Sandy. Hats off to the producers, event planners, musicans and the 121212 crew for setting up the next act flawlessly ! A class act production !

This was an EPIC line-up!! Only wish there was more collaboration between artists doing songs together and was hoping for a grand finale with everyone on the stage together but a 7 hour concert, what more could you ask?!
