12.12.12 concert

I'm eagerly waiting for my t-shirts to get here!

I recorded all 4 1/2 hour of the broadcast but I missed Paul McCartney and Nirvana, how were they??

Roger Waters had assembled some of the best musicians for sure, the guy on lead guitar and the drummer absolutely rocked!

My favorites were Bruce, Chris Martin, and McCartney. All three were great, IMHO. I was a little suprised I enjoyed Martin as much as I did.

Understanding that this was an incredibly long concert - and therefore probably not practical - I was very disappointed that various combinations of people didn't play at the end. I would have shortened each invididual bands sets, so this could have happened. I love the collaborations, including the seeing the joy on performers faces while they are playing with others.

Brf... I agree on Roger Waters for sure and Billy Joel's performance was excellent too. The guy on the sax was great and Billy was in great form too. I think Diana Krall came out for one band and played piano but I forget which one.

I was recording it but my DVR cut off Billy Joel's performance in mid-song as it went to another time slot. I restarted it and caught the end of the concert with McCartney.

McCartney played some great songs but i didn't like the ones he did with Nirvana... he was screaming and got drowned out by the band. Some people liked it but I didn't.

My one question is how can Nirvana be Nirvana without Kurt Cobain? I mean really,that's like The Police without Sting.
