DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It says this is a video over 4 hours but all I get is The Who for 2:50
It doesn't work
Is the money from this going to first responders? If not I would like to know what scumbag is profiting off this.
hmmm, smells like…. yep must be
As I write there is the controversy over the "colour", or lack thereof, with the Oscar nominations. Watching this I can't help think the same – apart from JZ and Destin's Child which was about 5% of the concert …… poor
You can't watch the concert for NEW YORK CITY for free on YouTube anymore. Some greedy bastard want you to buy it.
I am watching the whole thing now 🙂
Thanks Orchard Movies for making it impossible for some people to see David Bowie sing "America" at The Concert for New York City.
This was a historical event – it is not right that it is no longer available for free : (
Roger Daltrey was once asked on Reddit what his emotions were like before going onstage at this concert. This was his answer:
"Wow. It's almost, you could almost touch the hole through the walls of the backstage. It was extraordinary, absolutely an extraordinary time. Of course it's in those times of incredible stress the adrenaline kicks in overdrive, and people are dazed, and it kind of brings out the best in humanity. And I was really nervous, you know, I thought 'what are we going to play' and Pete said 'Let's just play what we always play' and thank god he was right. We went out and played songs that were defiant, not celebratin' anything, but like we're not going away, we're here, and I still find it emotional now, thinking bout it. It was a very roller coaster to be onstage looking at the audience. I don't know if you saw it on the TV, I never saw it on TV, but quite a lot of the front row, there were young children, 8, 9, 10, and they were wearing their father's helmet who were killed in the twin towers. It was so hard to look at it. But they all reacted so positively to the music that you thought 'all of this evil, wherever it comes from in the world, music will overcome it, good music, and being upfront with people and talking to people and getting rid of all the stuff in between.' When you come face to face with good music. It was an amazing, amazing experience. And i hope I don't ever have to do another one."
Why can't I watch this for free anymore? Youtube if you are responsible for robbing people of this historic show then you're a bunch of cunts
BULLSHIT TO MAKE MONEY OFF THIS CONCERT WHEN ALL PLAYED FOR FREE TO RAISE MONEY KISS MY ASS The Orchard Movies
This "Orchard Movies" group had a good business plan, until they screwed it up with charging for a concert which was played for a benefit. A benefit for the people who suffered through the worst attack on US soil in history. Let's hope "Orchard" isn't doing the same thing for all the more recent terrorist attacks, and those which are to come.
They would do better trying to get some of the videos long gone, like Joe Cocker's "Mad Dogs and Englishmen," which they could probably make a buck on.
I love how they were willing to have such a huge event shortly after 9/11, despite the security risk. It shows that we're not afraid and will always carry on.
disgraceful and quite shameless of google to make people pay for this wonderful concert. The tribute to all those brave men and women should be free for all, so we can always be in awe of their sacrifice. Lets hope there is donation's from google, going to the affected families.
GRRR. GOOGLE. SAD.
GREEDY MOTHERFUCKERS
At 56-1/2 Townshend could still get up with that trademark side jump. This guy is the best all around rock and roller.
I was fortunate enough to be there at the concert. And I was lucky enough to escape downtown that morning unhurt physically.. Many of my friends and co workers died.. It was a special time in NYC..strangers talked to one another and comforted one another. It was an extraordinary time.. That warm feeling among New Yorkers lasted a few months.. I wish it could be that way forever.. The humanity the compassion the humanity and emotion. I'm sad I experienced the tragedy first hand.. But wear it as a badge of honor to be connected to such a great city with some amazing fellow New Yorkers.. I was looking for video today of the concert.. So it promoted me so many years later to write this post.. Gone but never forgotten.. Hey hey my my rock and roll will never die. Words to live by
The Concert for NYC is available on a 2 disc DVD and it is the full uncut concert.
Zack isn't Keith Moon but he holds his own. Damn.
THE ORCHARD sucks! They also steal royalties from musicians & their families. They're vultures. I recorded this on VHS when it aired—-I should upload it out of spite.
