"On September 20th, 2005, Madison Square Garden hosted FROM THE BIG APPLE TO THE BIG EASY, New York City's Concert for the Gulf Coast, to support the long-term relief and rebuilding efforts following Hurricane Katrina.

"The live concert featured New Orleans musical legends joined onstage with many of music's biggest names. The DVD includes show-stopping performances from Allen Toussaint, Bette Midler, Buckwheat Zydeco, Clarence 'Frogman' Henry, Cyndi Lauper, Dave Bartholomew, Diana Krall, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, The Dixie Cups, Elton John, Elvis Costello, Irma Tomas, Jimmy Buffett, John Fogerty, Kermit Ruffins, Lenny Kravitz, the Meters, the Neville Brothers, the Rebirth Brass Band, Ry Cooder, Simon & Garfunkel, and Troy 'Trombone Shorty' Andrews."

Wow, talk about getting your money's worth -- and having it go to the victims of the city Bush left to die, New Orleans! This is a 2-disc, 200 minute set!

One web reviewer noted: "I was at this concert last September! The guy that got the house really rockin was John Fogerty. He was introduced by former president Bill Clinton. There's a great duet with Cyndi Lauper and the Dixie Cups doing "Iko Iko." Jimmy Buffet, Simon & Garfunkel, The Frogman himself, Buckwheat Zydeco, Elton John, Allan Tussaint, tons of traditional Dixieland complete with audience second line. This concert was over six hours long. I counted over 30 acts.

"You won't go wrong with this one. Any one of the above mentioned alone is worth the price of this DVD."
