Ho. Lee. Sheet! What a lineup! The duet possibilities are endless! Stevie and Rod Stewart doing "Stand Back?" Stevie and Bette doing "Wind Beneath My Wings?" Stevie and Earth, Wind & Fire doing "Shining Star?"

Wow. I hope this is on TV!!'

Edit: Loggins and Messina???? Whenever I Call You Friend? Could she? Would she? Willie Nelson is currently putting together a concert here for Sept. 21st, and is trying to get the Neville Bros. for that also.

[jwd]

I hope this is on TV!!

Highly likely, since they will be trying to raise money for the victims of Katrina.

I'm voting for a duet with John Fogerty. That would be cool.

[amber]

I'm voting for a duet with John Fogerty. That would be cool.
:blob2: :blob1: :blob2:
me, too! I've wanted that since I heard a deejay name them the two most unintelligible singers in rock! Love the Fogerty.

[SuzeQuze]

I'm voting for a duet with John Fogerty. That would be cool.

Boston's Progressive Talk keeps on playing Fortunate Son. Who would have thought this country would repeat a senseless war like Vietnam and this song would again become current. :distress:

Those two would sound great together. Also, isn't Stevie friends with Bette? If I saw them both on the same stage I'd be trippin'!

[ShangriLaTroubl]

I'm glad Stevie is joining others to try to raise money...because money is definetely what's needed...I hope this is on tv too..

Chris

[JazmenFlowers]

this is awesome - I hope it's televised and that Stevie rocks it OUT! Please oh god let Stevie be in great voice and spirit and kill whatever she decides to sing!

[Dreammms]

thanks for the info.

does anybody know when the tickets go on sale?

[Johnny Stew]

Stevie never ceases to impress me. I'm happy she's doing this, and proud of the fact that she's returning to the stage to help raise money for the Hurricane relief efforts.

Yes, I realize that it's been a month since Mr. Nicks passed away, and most people have to return to work within days of losing a parent. But Stevie has the luxury to not perform for a while and to take her time grieving, so she could have easily written a check and just stayed home.

[Bandon]

"Has Anyone Ever Written Anything for You" :nod:

[JazmenFlowers]

"Has Anyone Ever Written Anything for You" :nod:

good choice.

could you imagine how horribly sad "Goodbye Baby" would be? yikes...

[Phoenix]

this is awesome - I hope it's televised and that Stevie rocks it OUT! Please oh god let Stevie be in great voice and spirit and kill whatever she decides to sing!

HELL Yes! AMen Testify... And please, pleeeease let it not be the freekin gold dust woman for the um-teenth time! :laugh:

[JazmenFlowers]

HELL Yes! AMen Testify... And please, pleeeease let it not be the freekin gold dust woman for the um-teenth time! :laugh:

preach on it girl!

I'd like to see maybe Beautiful Child or Nightbird with Lori or Sleeping Angel or something...I hope she doesn't do the standard song set of Dreams, Rhiannon, GDW, Stand Back

but, who am I really kidding, I'm just glad she is doing it and am honored to be a Stevie fan!

[SapphireSister]

I'm sure she's going to do something everyone and their grandmother has heard. It's not like it's a Stevie audience and she can get away with anything. I really think she will play something signature Stevie that most people are familiar with.

[Livia]

The most appropriate song for this occasion would be HAEWAFY.

Bella Donna and Street Angel would be cool...but will never happen...so would Illume

OMG, are you serious? They are ALL from New Orleans, hon! ;) So are the Neville Brothers.

[jkmaletic]

I know this is vague, but a friend of mine told me she saw a commerical on TV (didn't know what channel) for a benefit concert that will be televised on the 20th - this has got to be the same one. :nod:

Hopefully Stevie's site will post something concrete about it soon.

I totally agree. It will be Landslide or something like that.

[Johnny Stew]

Each artist will probably only get one song. Maybe two in the case of someone like Bette Midler.

I'd honestly be happy with anything Stevie chooses to sing -- I just think it's incredible that she'll be there.
Would be nice to see her do "Has Anyone Ever Written" though. I think it would be the most meaningful song for the occasion.

[dissention]

There's one listed for September 17th on television, but I can't find anything about one on the 20th.

Jazz at Lincoln Center Stages Hurricane Benefit Concert

NEW YORK, New York, September 7, 2005 (ENS) - Live From Lincoln Center, the Emmy-Award winning PBS series, is presenting a special nationwide broadcast of jazz September 17 as a benefit for hurricane relief.

The Higher Ground Hurricane Relief Benefit Concert, live from Lincoln Center's Rose Theater, will feature Wynton Marsalis, Terence Blanchard, Cyrus Chestnut, Peter Cincotti, Bill Cosby, Elvis Costello, Robert De Niro, Paquito D'Rivera, Jon Hendricks, Diana Krall, Abbey Lincoln, Bette Midler, Dianne Reeves, Marcus Roberts, Paul Simon, Meryl Streep, James Taylor, McCoy Tyner, Cassandra Wilson, Buckwheat Zydeco, and many others.

[Bandon]

I totally agree. It will be Landslide or something like that.

Although "HAEWAFY" with an orchestra behind her would be perfect for the occassion ("....and the rain came down, there WAS pain, there WAS doubt..."), she will probably sign "Landslide".

[Hawkeye]

despite it being done a bunch I think HAEWAFY would be so appropriate for this also despite the one rain reference. If not for me then do it for the the world. The song would be perfect, but I would like if she just left out the danmed men in her life part and the priests of legandary poets part.

[estranged4life]

Willie Nelson is currently putting together a concert here for Sept. 21st, and is trying to get the Neville Bros. for that also.

on the 9th, at the Zoo Amphitheatre emceed by some dude named Billy Bob Thorton, whose band is on the bill (Interesting that the Legends of Hip-Hop are scheduled to play the Zoo that evening, Maybe the schedule has been changed.)

Wont make that one at the Zoo since we're planning to see the 2nd annual Cross Canadian Ragweed family jam on the 23rd at the Zoo (Gotta love a concert facility at the OKC Zoo), featuring Cross Canadian Ragweed, Dierks Bentley, Gary Allan and others to be announced.

Hopefully this benefit in NYC with Stevie will be televised...

[GardenStateGirlie]

I've checked both the Ticketmaster website a few times as well as the Madison Square Garden website. Thus far, nothing is up except the All Access tour of Madison Square Garden (as far as tickets are concerned) but i'm sure the event is a work in progress. I think i'm going to head up should Stevie definitely be appearing on the bill.

[DavidMn]

thats a great lineup, needless to say :nod:

[diamondsnake]

This has got to be televised. They would be fools not to air this on TV since that would certainly bring in a lot more money...

Yea! Then I will drive up to you and we can hop the train.

I would say we will see HAEWAFY or Landslide.

[GODDESS6]

i am sooooooooo excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~ holy sheet am i excited!!! :blob1: ~

[GardenStateGirlie]

Yea! Then I will drive up to you and we can hop the train.

Yes ma'am -- Princeton Junction :nod: I already have it figured out...i'm finished class the day of the concert at 3:20 and don't have class the next day until 5:30 at night. This has definite potential :D

Sweet! :D I wonder how much tickets will be and if I should think about making a reservation in advance. Anyone know of a good, reasonably price place to stay near that venue? I've never been there. I would also be interested in doing the roomie thing again, that was so fun.

I love your erykah badu pic, she is awesome!
My fav is "Next Lifetime" I think, but there are so many great ones!

:nod: Has no one thought that "No Spoken Word" should be the song she performs?

With that classic line...

"...the wind & the rain & the WATER!!!...

But Stevie has the luxury to not perform for a while and to take her time grieving, so she could have easily written a check and just stayed home.Maybe she's doing it for therapeutic reasons -- trying to get back into the swing of things is sometimes a way for people to deal with loss.

[GypsyAsh]

She should sing..
Me and Bobby Mcgee..
because it just fits.
drove us all the way to new orleans...
*sigh*

much love

[Mokona]

I'm so happy to see this and agree with Johnny Stew about it being great that she's willing to get out there again so soon after her dad's death.

Please let her sing a good song, be in great form and maybe duet with Bette Midler! What a terrific surprise that'd be! :D

[dissention]

Please let her sing a good song, be in great form and maybe duet with Bette Midler! What a terrific surprise that'd be! :D

Now would be the perfect time for Bette to sing "You'll Never Know" from her Rosemary Clooney album.

You'll never know just how much I miss you
You'll never know just how much I care
And if I tried, I still couldn't hide my love for you
You oughtta know, for haven't I told you so
A million or more times

You went away and my heart went with you
I speak your name in my every prayer
If there is some other way to prove that I love you
I swear I don't know how
And you'll never know if you don't know now

[Rickypt]

I love Stevie. What a big, beautiful heart she has.

[amber]

I love your erykah badu pic, she is awesome!

Thank you. :) Yes, it's quite the gorgeous pic, isn't it? I think she's a genius, too. :cool:

I'm really not sure of reasonably priced places in that area. I venture to guess your best bet would be to ask Jason as i've never actually stayed in NYC for the night (unless at someones place). Like I said, I think the VIP tickets will be a few hundred and upwards -- after all, they're doing this to raise money -- I think tickets priced for the average Joe that want to lend a hand and see a good concert but can't afford to give quite as much will be in the $70 range. I could be wrong but I guess we'll see :nod: Keep me posted if you're going to attend :D

I have a feeling you'll hear Bette sing I Think It's Going To Rain Today --beautiful song with a beautiful message.

I was thinking that, too. I would weep like a baby. :laugh:

[GardenStateGirlie]

I was thinking that, too. I would weep like a baby. :laugh:

And I would weep with you. I think it's my favorite song that she has performed.

[dissention]

And I would weep with you. I think it's my favorite song that she has performed.

Oh, it's truly one of her best. Her renditions of it on her last tour took on a whole new dimension with what's going on in the world and her references to it. I think she's got so many touching, beautiful songs under her belt to pick from that it'll be hard to guess what she'll end up doing in the end. Did you catch when she performed "Wind Beneath My Wings" at Yankee Stadium after 9/11? Oy.

[strandinthewind]

. . . Did you catch when she performed "Wind Beneath My Wings" at Yankee Stadium after 9/11? Oy.

To this day it moves me to tears!!!!!!!!!

Also, I thought Liza was fab. with her "high" kicks. during NY NY.

Yes and I remember crying during that as well. While she isn't my all-time favorite performer, she has some really poignant and moving songs -- WBMW and ITIGTRT being two of them. I suspect she'll do one or the other.

[dissention]

To this day it moves me to tears!!!!!!!!!

Also, I thought Liza was fab. with her "high" kicks. during NY NY.

Liza was good, but Bette was out of this world. To this day I can barely even watch it because it's so haunting.

[ontheEdgeof17]

I just might go to this. :angel:

[mikeschmike]

To this day it moves me to tears!!!!!!!!!

Oh, she was high alright. And I totally agree with you on the WBMW thing. Bette has the ability to make people just openly weep. She got me when she sang to Johnny Carson for god's sake.

[skcin]

I just might go to this. :angel:


Aw, I wanna go! :mad: *stomps feet & pouts*

I figured as much too. I may have to get a cheap seat, we'll see. It's an excellent cause though so it will make it easier for me to drop a wad of cash.

There are literally hundreds of hotels within a 15 block radius of MSG. I would do a travelocity search and see what comes up. The only thing is all of the hotels in the Times Sq. area are usually very very crowded as is Times Sq. So, I tend to want to avoid that. But, to each their own and if you get a great deal in one of those, take it as you are not going to be in the room that much.

I soo want to go, but the chances are slim right now :mad: Maybe that will change :cool:

Now I have "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" floating around in my head :lol:

[Macfanforever]

Ya I would love to go, but I couldn't get time off right now ,because it's our start of the busy season. If the show was on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday, I would had no problem.I will reverberate everybody on here saying hopefully the show will be on tv. VH1, MTV or USA channels probably show it.I dout it The big 4 Networks will air it, because it will interfere with the new fall season starting lineup.also for a two to three hour broadcast.we will be lucky to get about 4 song set from Stevie, thats asking for to much.

Maybe some enterprising fan will sneak some video clips of Stevie's short set?

The concert is in addition to a number of other upcoming events to benefit victims of Hurricane Katrina, the largest of which is ReAct Now: Music and Relief, airing on MTV, VH1 and CMT this Saturday.

The Red Cross is currently accepting donations for hurricane relief at their Web site, redcross.org.

Stars Come Out for Hurricane Relief

Simon and Garfunkel, Fats Domino, Elton John, Jimmy Buffett, Rod Stewart, Bette Midler, Loggins and Messina, Stevie Nicks, Lenny Kravitz, Ry Cooder, Buckwheat Zydeco, and the Neville Brothers are among the performers expected at Madison Square Garden on Sept. 20 in "From the Big Apple to the Big Easy," a concert for long-term relief and rebuilding in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Tickets for the event, also featuring Earth, Wind & Fire, the Original Meters, Allen Toussaint, the Dirty Dozen and the Rebirth Brass Band, go on sale on Tuesday through Ticketmaster; and if any remain, they will be available on Wednesday through the box offices at the Garden and Radio City. Madison Square Garden is underwriting all costs of the event and has pledged $1 million to begin the fund-raising effort, which will allocate 100 percent of its proceeds to relief and reconstruction. ...

My uncle that works in the MSG box office says don't be surprised if the tickets are astronomical... talking $3000 for the best seats :(

That's what I was thinking, b/c it's a benefit - Like how primo seats for Stevie's Arizona Heart Benefit are very expensive. :shrug:
P.S. I love Simon and Garf.

[Livia]

$3000? WTF? Does that include airfare/hotel/tickets to the show AND a meet and greet with everyone?? :rolleyes:

Thank you Livia, for answering Paleshadow.

$3,000?? Lets hope they have cheap seats, too.

I wish Stevie had participated in the ReAct concert. The list of performers for that benefit is phenomenal as well.

The Garden's cure for Big Easy's blues
Glenn Gamboa

September 9, 2005

Elton John, Bette Midler, Jimmy Buffett and Rod Stewart will share the stage Sept. 20 with New Orleans-based legends Fats Domino, Allen Toussaint and the Neville Brothers for "The Big Apple to the Big Easy," Madison Square Garden's benefit concert to raise money for victims of Hurricane Katrina and the rebuilding of New Orleans.

Domino, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer best known for "Blueberry Hill" and "Ain't That a Shame," was rescued from his New Orleans home and taken to the Superdome and then to Baton Rouge, La., like thousands of other evacuees last week. He slept on the floor of LSU quarterback JaMarcus Russell's apartment for two days before securing transportation to a more permanent home, The Advocate of Baton Rouge reported.

Toussaint left his New Orleans home to seek shelter in a nearby hotel, only to be rescued from there and taken to the Superdome, before receiving transportation to New York.

The concert will also include performances by Lenny Kravitz; Stevie Nicks; John Fogerty; Earth, Wind and Fire; Loggins and Messina; and New Orleans' Buckwheat Zydeco, the original Meters, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band and the Rebirth Brass Band.

Tickets for the benefit - which the Garden will underwrite, as well as donate an additional $1 million to the Bush Clinton Katrina Fund, Habitat for Humanity and the MusiCares Hurricane Relief Fund - will go on sale Tuesday through Ticketmaster. Ticket prices haven't been determined.

Any word yet on if this is going to be televised? I can't imagine it wouldn't be, but I haven't heard anything. :shrug:

It's not going to be televised; it's just a benefit show. PBS is airing a jazz-themed benefit on the 17th, though, with Bette Midler, Elvis Costello, and Paul Simon (amongst others).

I think it is going to be televised. They wouldn't been showing the commercial every 5 minutes on MTV if it wasn't going to be. Also every other benefit thats been done to support the cause so far has been televised. Stop being such a party pooper.

[Rhiannonstar84]

I'm so excited for this concert. It's amazing for me that I can go because being that it's on a Tuesday night and I go to school, I normally wouldn't have been able to go. However, luck and fate would have it that my acting for the camera class is going to NYC on the 18th until the 21st to volunteer at a film festival and we have our evenings free to do whatever we please!!!! :] :woohoo: :] That means I can go, as long as the cheapest ticket is reasonable. I'm a theatre major...I don't have much money...hopefully I can afford it :shocked:
Oh, and by the way to those of you who may remember me...I was at the Pittsburgh STevie/Don show this summer: hope all is going well with everyone. :wavey: :nod: Things are soooo crazy for me now...hopefully I can find the time to post a little more often than I have recently....

bye all,

I thought that commercial was for a different benefit, but I may be wrong. :shrug:

That commercial was for the "ReAct Now" telethon, not this one. This one is *not* going to be televised, it's just a benefit show.

[slnrox]

Yes ma'am -- Princeton Junction :nod: I already have it figured out...i'm finished class the day of the concert at 3:20 and don't have class the next day until 5:30 at night. This has definite potential :D

I'm leaving from Princeton Junction, too. :)

I hope they will make a last minute change to televise or air the event on the radio,if that happens I will be a happy camper.They are not going to make alot of money, without TV and radio exposure.No money on ticket sales and $1000
plate dinners now.

They'll make plenty of money, it isn't like tickets are going to be $70. Madison Square Garden has already made the venue available for free and are adding $1 million to the pot.

Did they getr it for free - I thought they might, but never read a conformation of that. Also, the talent is supposed to be free as well, but I but they get the hotel rooms paid for, but the hotels may give them the rooms for free as well.

Yes, MSG is free for the benefit.
