NBC News' "Today," Habitat for Humanity International and Warner Music Group Corp. that Warner Bros. Records recording artist Josh Groban and Elektra/Atlantic recording artist Tracy Chapman will headline concert performances in New York's Rockefeller Plaza, which is being called "Humanity Plaza" throughout next week, on Monday, September 26, 2005.

The special concert performances are in support of "Make a Difference Today," the hurricane relief initiative announced earlier this week from NBC News' "Today," WMG and Habitat for Humanity International. Toyota, sponsor of "Today's" annual concert series, is generously sponsoring this very special line up.

This unprecedented and truly unique hurricane relief effort begins on Monday, September 26th when Rockefeller Plaza becomes "Humanity Plaza" for five days as homes are literally built around the clock for families displaced by Gulf Coast hurricanes.
Stevie Nicks will help build homes and perform on "Today" at "Humanity Plaza" on September 28. On September 30, Yolanda Adams and New Orleans natives World Leader Pretend-who were evacuated from the Gulf Coast area and lost everything because of Hurricane Katrina-will perform. Other WMG artists participating in the building effort include T.I., Trey Songz, Twista, Sean Paul and The Crimea



All concerts will be live on Rockefeller Plaza.

Both of these posts....deja vu.... :rolleyes:

Ahem

Huh? What do you mean?

That this has already been discussed at length. :)

Nevermind...I get it. This entire article was already posted on the other thread (which I just now realized). :o

~Jamie

I'm glad you posted it. If for one don't have time to weed through 8 pages of garbage! :)

I second that and I just love Jennifer Coolidge and Christopher is my sons name-LOL !!

We must be soulmates! LOL

By the way, did you see the Joey Season Premiere? Jennnifer was so funny in that episode. I was rolling on the floor!

Who are they T.I., Trey Songz, Twista, Sean Paul and The Crimea.

Do you mean people pissing about Landslide and Stand Back?

Im thrilled that she is doing stand back!

Has anyone watched this the past couple of days? Do they show the artists before they perform doing something with the houses?

I don't see Stevie working on a house. I can see her visting a site and talking about HFH, but I don't see her actually building.....

We will see...

I'm just trying to see if I should start recording as soon as the show goes on or if I can wait till 8 am. I don't want to miss her doing anything.

No worries. It will be in trade circulation as soon as 9 o'clock.

It's great that she's doing this at all, don't you think? Stand Back is the coolest! :cool:
And the image of Stevie building a house has me absolutely hysterical. :lol:
Macfan ~ I think Twista is a rapper. I don't know the rest of them, but if I find out I'll let you know. :wavey:

Can you imagine? LOL. She'll be like, "How does this thing work?" I hope she doesn't smash her writing thumb with it. I have some things I need fixed at my place. I wonder if she's available.

Yay! I just saw a commercial that said "tomorrow stevie nicks live in concert."

I decided to go ahead and tape the whole thing. I'm taping at work and at home in case soemthing goes wrong with one of the tapes too. What a paranoid-Stevie-nerd I am... :rolleyes:

~jamie

^^ Fellow paranoid Stevie-nerd here. :wavey: I'm taping the whole show at home and I asked/forced my grandfather to record it too. It's funny, though, because he doesn't even know who Stevie is. He calls her "that pretty blonde thing you worship". :lol:


~*~ Gina ~*~

I bought a new tape today. I'm taping from 7-10 just to be sure. There's no way I'll be up that early.

LOL You're in good company.
