PAUL IN CONCET FOR SANDY RELIEF

Concert for Sandy Relief, called '12-12-12,' being planned by same people behind historic 9/11 benefit show
'The Concert for New York,' which raised over $35 million, was called one of the greatest moments in rock 'n roll history. Performers then included Paul McCartney, Jay-Z and The Who. Now the same group wants to help Hurricane Sandy victims 
The same people who organized "The Concert For New York" - the historic, star-packed show at Madison Square Garden that benefitted victims from that pivotal tragedy in 2001 - will assemble a similar fund-raising event for "Sandy" victims, to be held Dec. 12th at the same venue.

Madison Square Garden, along with Clear Channel, and the Weinstein Company, will produce the show, to be called "12-12-12 (A Concert For Sandy Relief)."
While they have yet to name the acts who will appear, in 2001 they featured stars as looming as Paul McCartney, Jay-Z, The Who, Elton John, Eric Clapton and dozens more.
That show, which Rolling Stone Magazine listed among the 50 moments that changed rock 'n roll, raised over $35 million for its cause.
All money raised for the Sandy concert will be administered by The Robin Hood Relief Fund, New York City's largest poverty fighting organization. According to a spokesman for the organizers, the show will be televised, though they've yet to announce the specific outlet.
"12-12-12" will be produced by James Dolan, Executive Chairman of The Madison Square Garden Company; John Sykes, President of Clear Channel Entertainment Enterprises; and Harvey Weinstein, Co-Founder and Chairman of The Weinstein Company.
In a joint statement, Dolan, Sykes and Weinstein said: "The Concert for New York City was a night filled with emotion, courage and tremendous hope when we came together as a city following the 9/11 attack. Once again, our city, as well as millions of our neighbors in the tri-state area, are in desperate need of our assistance as they recover from Hurricane Sandy and rebuild their lives. We have no doubt that the event we are planning will be filled with unforgettable music, entertainment and that uniquely American spirit of community, compassion and generosity."
Tickets will be available at a variety of price points, to be announced shortly.
