THE CONCERT FOR NEW YORK CITY was recorded live at Madison Square Garden on October 20, 2001 in commemoration of the victims and the heroes of the September 11 World Trade Center disaster.
Producers: Don DeVito, Chuck Plotkin, Bob Clearmountain, Thom Cadley.
Organized in less than six weeks following the attack on the World Trade Center by Paul McCartney, THE CONCERT FOR NEW YORK CITY features famous names from all over the musical map raising money for the firefighters, police officers and rescue workers who stepped up during this catastrophe. Skewed heavily towards older, predominant UK classic rock artists, this 2-CD set serves up quite a number of stellar performances starting with David Bowie's one-two punch intro of Simon & Garfunkel's "America" and his own "Heroes." Among the most pleasant surprises was an invigorated set by The Who featuring molten readings of "Who Are You," "Baba O'Reilly" and "Won't Get Fooled Again."
Other elder statesmen checking in were Elton John ("Mona Lisas And Mad Hatters"), Eric Clapton ("I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man") and Mick Jagger with Keith Richards ("Miss You," "Salt Of The Earth"). Checking in for the younger set were hip-hop superstar Jay-Z ("Izzo [H.O.V.A.]"), Goo Goo Dolls ("American Girl"), Destiny's Child ("Emotion," "Gospel Medley") and the Backstreet Boys ("Quit Playing Games [With My Heart]"). Macca's evening closing finale found him bouncing between Beatles classics ("I'm Down," "Yesterday," "Let It Be") and the inspirational sing-along "Freedom" from 2001's DRIVING RAIN.
