Summary: Worth every cent-especially considering where the $ goes
Comment: I've read the negative reviews of this DVD and I think they totally miss the point. I am not sure why the DVD was edited with performances eliminated,(I can assume why Hilary's segment was edited) HOWEVER, the Robin Hood Foundation which was responsible for raising money, and to which proceeds from your purchase will go, was and I believe still is the only charity to give the money to families suffering losses from 9/11. I wish I could remember where I had read about it, but so many charities failed to deliver funds they had raised. Bottom line, your money is actually going to help people buy purchasing this.
The concert itself mesmerized me when I watched a rebroadcast on VH1 around Christmas 2001. This concert was organized and put on less than two months from the tragedy, and if you watch it today, remembering that, you can't help but tear up with the joy and sorrow experienced by the crowd when shots are displayed of them experiencing the show.
The Who was phenomenal and my favorite part. I also want to credit Melissa Etheridge's solo accoustic version of Bruce Springsteen's Born To Run. There are some performances I don't really care for, but again-the money is well spent for what you get and where those dollars go.

Summary: This concert brought tears to my eyes.......
Comment: I had been looking for this CD/DVD for a long time because I couldn't remember the name of it. My sister had taped it as it happened the night it aired on TV and sent it to me when I was in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia. My unit was being issued orders for Iraq that same day and to see this while we were in country, it really brought tears to my eyes and just about every other Marine in our hut that night. I love this concert. I'll never forget what it meant to me and the guy's in the unit. Everybody needs to see this over and over so that we will never forget!!

Summary: Won't Get Fooled Again
Comment: I don't have this DVD, but I saw the concert on VH1 when it was originally broadcast. For me, The Who performing "Won't Get Fooled Again" was perhaps the most emotionally impactful rock and roll moment I've ever had. Maybe I was still very emotional about the events on 9/11, but hearing Roger Daltry's defiant voice shouting those words with the video screen showing the Twin Towers above the stage charged me up like I've never been charged up before. Amazing.
