I'm watching this now- it is also on AMC and FUSE. Thank you Admin for posting the phone # to call to donate and the link to their site.

Aww - you're welcome K!

I am having fun watching Billy Crystal making funnies and enjoying my little Nutrisystem meal (no butter) with a thimble full of who cares lol (pre-Christmas weight management attempt)

Although I am planning to make cookie dough tonight - uh oh

Looking FW to making fun of The Who

Alicia Keyes is so unbelievable!! Wow what a voice!! Just wow! Hope the benefit is raising lotsa money. B. Crystal said at the start of the show if everybody sent $1 - they would raise 2 billion dollars tonight-meaning they anticipated online and tv audiences would be 2 billion people - that is phenomenal!!

WTF?? Its not Roger Daltry

it's RUBBER DALTRY!! OMG he is wearing a rubber chest and stomach - so he can bare his chest with an open shirt -who does that???? LMAO!!!

He then had to button his shirt - he is sweating so bad it may peel off and hang in flaps!! OMG he thinks he needs to 'hide his oldyness' but may have flaps hanging

what is the deal?? I'm not comfortable with this whole concept lol

I know Admin. I saw him and thought to myself a guy as old as he is even if they wax does NOT have an abdomen like that. How about those fake scars too LMAO. I thought he was gonna start dripping wax all over the stage!

12-12-12 Sandy Benefit Concert: How Much Money Was Raised For Storm Victims?
by Christopher Zara | December 13 2012

Music fans had mixed reactions to Wednesday’s rock-star-studded benefit concert at Madison Square Garden. The “12-12-12” relief event for victims of Hurricane Sandy sold out the Midtown Manhattan stadium and was broadcast to nearly 2 billion people around the world. With a lineup that included cross-generational rockers from the Who, Pink Floyd and the Rolling Stones all the way through to Bruce Springsteen, Eddie Vedder and Kanye West, the six-hour-long event is being compared to 1985’s historic Live Aid concert, which raised money for the Ethiopian famine.

And as most critics pointed out Thursday morning, critiquing the concert for its reliance on aging rock stars or its cultural significance would be to completely miss the point, which was to raise much-needed money for a storm that has come with a price tag of more than $71 billion for New York and New Jersey.

So how much did “12-12-12” raise? The Robin Hood Foundation, the poverty-fighting organization collecting the proceeds, estimates $30 million from ticket sales alone, while proceeds from donations are still being tallied. Officials from the foundation did not immediately respond to a request for updated figures. Updates will be posted here when they do.

Meanwhile, the concert will keep on giving in other ways, including through ongoing donations and sales of “12-12-12” merchandise. Memorabilia from the event is now being auctioned off on the website CharityBuzz.com. Some of the top bids so far include $36,000 for a Fender guitar autographed by Paul McCartney, Springsteen, Roger Daltrey, Billy Joel, Dave Grohl, Chris Martin, Michael Stipe, Eric Clapton and Jon Bon Jovi. (Someone clearly thought to capitalize on the rare occasion of having so many legendary musicians in one venue.) As of Thursday afternoon, a sweatshirt worn on stage by Kanye West had attracted exactly zero bidders, which just seems like something worth mentioning.

Charity aside, the concert had its share of ripe-for-Twitter-derision moments, including a reunion by the surviving members of Nirvana. Rolling Stone praised the song they performed, “Cut Me Some Slack,” as a “shockingly great new tune,” but not everyone was thrilled with the idea of Paul McCartney filling in for the late Kurt Cobain. “It’s the second-worst thing ever to happen to Nirvana fans,” quipped Gawker.

Some critics also pointed out the paucity of female performers on the roster, which, aside from Alicia Keys, was largely a boys’ club. “There’s no doubt that the men on the stage are proven draws, and their presence helped make last night’s concert a world-class event,” wrote Forbes contributor Teresa Genaro. “It also reinforces a troubling standard about who is seen to have commercial clout.”

Still, there was plenty of time to reaffirm the evening’s stated goal with impassioned appeals from the celebrities on hand, who reminded viewers time and again that northeast residents displaced by the storm are still in dire need of aid.

The “12-12-12” concert was produced by executives from the Madison Square Garden Co. and Clear Channel Entertainment Enterprises, as well as the movie mogul Harvey Weinstein. Donations are still being accepted here. (NOTE: See source link for donate button)
