Tsunami Aid - A Concert of Hope
Various - January 15, 2005 - Geetarz 251 - DVD-R1
Geetarz Comments:
This two hour music and celebrity driven telethon was held on January 15, 2005
to aid the survivors of the deadly Tsunami that struck southeast asia. Aired live without commerical
interruption on the NBC network and all its sister channels, this worthy effort raised an initial
amount of 18.3 million dollars. Hosted by the grating Jay Leno (who, as one reviewer has noted,
should simply move on to that career as a door-to-door salesman for which he is so eminently
qualified), the event also featured musical performances by Madonna, Sheryl Crow, Diana Ross,
Stevie Wonder, Maroon 5, Norah Jones, Sarah McLachlan, Annie Lennox, Lenny Kravitz, John Mayer,
Eric Clapton, Roger Waters, Kenny Chesney, Gloria Estefan, and Elton John, among others. DVD
authored with full motion and sound menus, directly from the live broadcast (DigiSat) to PC.
