1Audience noise is in the forfront of recording  Aug 28, 2008
I purchased this CD because of the songs by Mick Jagger and Kieth Richards. Unfortunatly the background noise and the quality of the recording made this a poor buy. After getting over my expensive blunder I did some research and found a recording the Rolling Stones did on one of their albums that sounded much better and still retained the accustic sound of the live version. I have chalked this purchase up to a lesson learned and hopefully everyone else can beware before they buy.

5Nobody Seems To Recall How They Felt 9/11/2001?  Jan 06, 2008
Maybe buying and listening to the stiring narration, seeing the tears in the eyes of the survivors, performers, NYFD & NYPD will help you remember PATRIOTISM?

49/11 Got Me Down, The Concert for NYC Made Me Up  Oct 31, 2005
September 11, 2001 was a devastating day for the US. But thanks to Paul McCartney, we were soon lifted up. The Concert for New York City gathered 9/11 victims, fand and an all-star musical line-up to raise money for the victims. Among those performing were Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, The Who, David Bowie, Elton John and James Taylor. These artists played very good sets, but it should have stopped there. Jay-Z should not have been invited, nor should Eric Clapton have. It is these mediocre performances that bring down my rating. But on the whole this is a very good and very helpful concert. And the proceeds go to help the victims. So it is a worthy buy.

4"Too Cool"  Sep 26, 2002
This one is a keeper with songs like, America by David Bowie, Livin' On A Prayer by Bon Jovi, Izzo (H.O.V.A.) by Zayz, Miami 2017 by Billy Joel, Who Are You by The Who, and Freedom (reprise) by Paul McCartney. This one doesn't seem to leave anyone out.

3Could've Been Great, Upflifting, and Amusing  Sep 16, 2002
This set of songs performed by various musicians in support of some of the heroes of the 9-11 terrorist attacks falls a tad short of being terrific.

First the good: Paul McCartney's set was unbelievably patriotic, emotional, and energy-charged. The version of "Let It Be" with Eric Clapton on guitar was definitely the musical highlight of the night (the real highlight was Hilly Clinton getting overwhelmingly and deservedly booed followed closely by the booing of Ricky Gere). The sets by the Who and Bon Jovi were also highlights as was the duo version of "Your Song" by Elton John and Billy Joel (curiously and annoyingly left off this cd release).

And that brings me to the primary complaint (and the reason for the three star rating): Too much good stuff left off and too much horrible stuff kept. Example: The booing of Hilly and Ricky. Should have been left on. The John/Joel duo. Should've been left on. The "performances" by the following "artists" should've been left off: Jay-Z, Destiny's LooooveChild, Adam Sandler, and the Backdoor Boys. Basically, disc one could be skipped altogether and replaced with the repeated booings of Hilly and Gerbil.

Overall, disc two is an emotional keeper and almost makes up for the horrible stuff on disc one. My advice: Buy the set and use disc one as a coaster, frisbee, or smash it up and mail it to someone special.
