What can i say this is a true and sad story,amazing everyone pulled together,everyone had a story to tell of this terrible day that the twin towers hit ground.Very moving and just makes u relaise how lucky and fortunate we are in this life,only bit i wasn't for was the terrorism jokes made kind of inappropiate really.
All in all this is a very good concert with some great acts... but MY main reason for renting this was to see Eric Clapton, but unfortunately he only plays one song - Hoochie Coochie Man - featuring Buddy Guy, but it is an excellent version of the song. Bon Jovi are also good, as are Paul McCartney Elton John and The Who... other mediocre performances hold the thing together and there are a few emotional speeches and videos about New York and its residents.
All in all a worthwhile concert very poignant at times and most of all it represents a city and nations willingness to come together and overcome atrocity.
I think I was just a bit bitter that Eric didn't play more songs, not even Layla!
