You don't know what a chore that was! I had to set a tape in my recorder to record the first 4 hours, then drive 15 miles to my parents house and set theirs to tape the next 4 hours, eat food out of their refrigerator, throw in some of my laundry, drive back home to replace my tape for the next 4 hours and start the cycle again. My mom thought I was out of my mind! But I did get it all recorded, ate all their food and did my laundry.

I think this is all great - and I enjoyed the concert (on NBC). But why all this "fuss" at this exact time? I mean, I understand that it's ten years out; but didn't she die on August 31? Why are they having the concert now?

It would have been her 46th birthday.

Yesterday (july 1st) was her 46th birthday, thats what they were actually celebrating..not the anniversary of her death, so it was essentially a concert for her life.
..oops BM you just beat me to it
