The Concert for New York City was a benefit concert, featuring many famous musicians, that took place on October 20, 2001 at Madison Square Garden in New York City in response to the September 11, 2001 attacks. The concert was organized by Paul McCartney and included many of his legendary British contemporaries, including The Who, Rolling Stones bandmates Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, David Bowie, Elton John, and Eric Clapton. American artists included Bon Jovi, Jay-Z, Destiny’s Child, The Backstreet Boys, James Taylor, Billy Joel, Melissa Etheridge, Five for Fighting, Goo Goo Dolls, John Mellencamp with Kid Rock, and a humorous performance by Adam Sandler.The Concert for New York City is the lesser of the two major September 11 tribute albums. The comparisons are significant and devastating. The telethon (released as America: A Tribute to Heroes) was reverential and inspired, and includes U2’s brilliant performance of “Walk On” (with PJ Harvey on backup vocals!). But The Concert for New York City is bellicose and chaotic, and includes Macca’s “Freedom,” which is an early contender for one of the worst pop songs of the 21st century. The anger embodied by a firefighter telling Osama Bin Laden to “kiss my royal Irish ass” may have been deserved and unavoidable. But the need to revisit the anger-fest that was the concert is missing. The lineup of classic rock heavyweights is impressive, but resulted in a much less moving night than organizers must have expected. As a symbol, The Concert for New York City is all hype. Though the inclusion of James Taylor’s “Fire and Rain” is admirable, the music only aims for a vaguely “Americana” feel. The Goo Goo Dolls’ performance of “American Girl” and Bon Jovi’s “It’s My Life” have little value beyond being crowd-pleasers. Ultimately, that is what the concert was: entertainment to thank and please thousands of people personally touched by the events of September 11, 2001.
