121212 The Concert For Sandy Relief

From Where's Eric

Clapton, Mcartney, Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, The Who, The Rolling Stones and more performed on 121212 The Concert for Sandy ReliefPublished: 13 December 2012

Eric Clapton was one of many musicians who answered the call to take part in the fundraising event 121212 The Concert For Sandy Relief. Rehearsals and sound checks took place throughout the day at Madison Square Garden, the site of the show. Bruce Springsteen kicked off the concert at 7:30PM and the music continued for 6 hours. Clapton took the stage shortly after 9PM in a trio format accompanied by Steve Jordan (drums) and Willie Weeks (bass). Eric’s short but extremely affective set earned accolades. Comments like, “he’s the musician’s musician” and “he should go out on the road with these guys!” were common refrains in the halls of MSG. Eric’s set was “Nobody Knows You When You’re Down And Out,” “Got To Get Better In A Little While,” and “Crossroads.”
For rock music aficionados, it was the first time Eric Clapton, The Who and The Rolling Stones shared a stage since December 1968 when they filmed “Rock N Roll Circus.”
The line-up included numerous musicians who hail from the areas most impacted by the October "super storm:" New Jersey rockers Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen, Long Islander Billy Joel, native New Yorker Alicia Keys and longtime Long Island residents Paul McCartney and Roger Waters. Surprise guests were Michael Stipe who performed “Losing My Religion” with Chris Martin and Diana Krall who joined Paul McCartney for “My Valentine.”

Judging by the level of applause in the arena, top moments were Eddie Vedder teaming with Roger Waters for the Pink Floyd classic, “Comfortably Numb,” McCartney taking part in a Nirvana reunion, Mick Jagger’s quip, “"This has got to be the biggest collection of old English musicians ever in Madison Square Garden," and Jon Bon Jovi joining Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band for New Jersey’s unofficial state song, “Born To Run.” Like the Concert For New York City in 2001, the consensus was once again that The Who stole the show.

The show closed with the evening’s only female artists, Alicia Keys, performing “Empire State of Mind, Part II.”
Monies raised from the concert and the sale of merchandise will benefit The Robin Hood Relief Fund which will help residents of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut rebuild and recover.
The concert was available online, on television and radio to a global audience of 2 billion people. It was also made available in select movie theatres in areas devastated by the storm for residents to enjoy free of charge.

A DVD of the show will be available in the coming months.
