Organizers for 12-12-12: The Concert for Sandy Relief seemed to pull out all the stops on Wednesday night, inviting rock 'n' roll royalty to perform at Madison Square Garden.
Among the noted performers were Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi and Billy Joel, all with local roots, and British legends including Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, the Who, Eric Clapton, Roger Waters, and Coldplay's Chris Martin, The New York Times reported.
"This has got to be the largest collection of old English musicians ever assembled in Madison Square Garden," joked Mick Jagger. "If it rains in London, you’ve got to come and help us."
