it deserves its own thread.

Overused titles aside, the concert I am referring to is an older one, called Music for Montserrat. This was a concert put on in 1997 at London's Royal Albert Hall. It was a benefit concert in aid of the island of Montserrat, whose volcano had recently erupted, devastating the island. Stars flocked to the concert to help out, and it is this that makes it THE greatest concert I've ever seen. This is the full song list, with artists:

1) Take Me Home - Phil Collins
2) Hot, Hot, Hot - Arrow
3) Blue Suede Shoes - Carl Perkins
4) Volcano - Jimmy Buffet
5) Brothers in Arms - Mark Knopfler
6) Money for Nothing - Mark Knopfler (w/Sting, Eric Clapton, Phil Collins)
7) Message in a Bottle - Sting
8) Magic - Sting
9) Your Song - Elton John
10) Live Like Horses - Elton John
11) Don't Let the Sun go Down on Me - Elton John
12) Layla - Eric Clapton (w/Mark Knopfler)
13) Same Old Blues - Eric Clapton (w/Mark Knopfler, Phil Collins)
14) Yesterday - Paul McCartney
15) Golden Slumbers - Paul McCartney (w/Mark Knopfler, Eric Clapton, Phil Collins)
16) Hey Jude - All artists who appeared at the concert
17) Kansas - All artists who appeared at the concert


Simply put, this concert is 112 minutes of pure glory. I highly suggest you guys see it.

For a teaser, here is Money for Nothing:

I fucking love all of those guys. :-3

I think the A.R.M.S. concert is pretty cool too, had a lot of stars (with good performances, mind you!). No Knopfler though. :(

You have good taste in music :D

I always enjoy finding people who aren't the tiresome obsessives of R&B, Rap, and screamo.
