The "12-12-12" concert at Madison Square Garden will be available on television or online to some 2 billion people, said James Dolan, one of the producers. A total of 34 U.S. television networks have agreed to show the concert, which begins at 7:30 p.m. EST on Wednesday.

The participating U.S. networks do not include the major broadcast networks. The lineup will include HBO and Showtime, public broadcasting stations in New York and Philadelphia, and a host of smaller cable networks like the Cooking Channel, Military History and VH1 Classic.

The concert lineup is "99 percent" set, Sykes said. McCartney is the closer, followed by a finale involving many artists. It's scheduled to end around midnight, but may go longer.

The concert is still going and I am overly impressed by the production, talent and pure musical enjoyment. Some little missteps with the sound, but not a big deal. Trying to censor the occasional curse word is a tad humorous. Good sets, good small breaks, good MC's to keep it moving.

unfortunately I just got home and drunk uncle was the first and last thing I am watching on this tonight...will look at youtube over the next few days and find the clips I'd be into.

saw a small snipped ot Eddie Vedder and Roger Waters which looked pretty cool....what an honor for Vedder to sing such an iconic song with the man himself.

He won't sing it, but I would love it if he would do Goodnight Saigon. Sure, it doesn't fit in with the theme of the concert, but damn, that song would bring down the  f u c k i n g  house!!

1000 to 1 odds he ends it with Hey Jude. But he might mix it up and go with Hey Sandy instead.

Will he slam his head against his Bass again? I'm sure Courtney will do it for him instead.

that's a 59 burst.....guitar is worth about 150-200K....not withstanding that it's Paul's.

very rare guitar though....very few left handed bursts were made in 59'...let alone righty's

If you think about how long Paul has been around and how many music changes he has had to endure over the years, it's amazing that he really hasn't aged at all and that he can still bring it now.

Sean Lennon: John Lennon Would've Loved "12-12-12"

I don't agree with him saying this show is on par with Woodstock. What about Live Aid? I think that was bigger than any benefit concert combined. My 2 Cents.
