Come Together. a night for John Lennon's words and music

[runningshoes]

Has anyone seen this?

It's not bad, but it's nothing compared to The Concert For George.

What's with all the actors giving speeches? At times I thought I was watching the Academy Awards. They didn't even know Lennon. They couldn't find any friends to go on stage and say something about the man?

and Sean Lennon makes the comment that he's not supposed to say anything. No mention of Julian. I didn't see a single photograph of him.

Yeah I was at the show. Very somber and sad as it was my first show after 9/11. Sean doing Julia, Across the Universe and This Boy were good and so was Lou Reed.

heres the write up:

"John Lennon's music and visions of universal peace have continued to inspire the world even after his passing. This special tribute brought prominent musical artists together on October 2nd, 2001, and was full of prayer and hope in the wake of the recent and tragic events of September 11th, with proceeds going toward healing efforts for the City of New York. Hosted by Academy Award-winner Kevin Spacey, this all-star concert was broadcast live on the WB Television Network and Turner Network Television from Radio City Music Hall.
