There have already been more than a few notable benefit events for Hurricane Sandy relief, but the biggest Sandy benefit concert yet is due to happen in December. 12-12-12: The Concert For Sandy Relief will take place on December 12th at Madison Square Garden.
It's being put on by the same organizers who produced and sponsored The Concert For New York after 9/11, and features a heavyweight lineup including Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band, Paul McCartney, Kanye West, The Who, Jon Bon Jovi, Roger Waters, Billy Joel and Alicia Keys. All funds will go to The Robin Hood Relief Fund. Below, check out Springsteen performing "Land Of Hope And Dreams" at the NBC Sandy TV benefit earlier this month, and revisit the last time West was on TV after a major hurricane.
