Last night I went to the Big Apple for the Big Easy benefit concert at Madison Square Garden. What an awesome show.
There was one highlight which stood out from all the rest: Paul Newman introducing Simon & Garfunkel. And then Simon & Garfunkel playing Mrs. Robinson, Homeward Bound and Bridge Over Troubled Water (w/ Aaron Neville). I would of liked to of heard the Boxer, but beggars can't be choosers I suppose.
Other notables:
* John Fogerty absolutely rocked. He is AWESOME.
* Dave Matthews and Jimmy Buffett covering Neil Young's Heart of Gold.
* The Dixie Cups singing Going to the Chapel.
* Bette Midler singing "I Think It's Going to Rain Today".
Other celebs included Elton John, Elvis Costello, Diana Krall, Bill Clinton, Jessica Lange, Scarlett Johansson, Lenny Kravitz, Cyndi Lauper, Ed Bradley and a bunch of New Orleans singers and bands.
Really a fun time. And all for a good cause.
