    If you missed this INCREDIBLE concert that was live on YouTube last night, you should check it out!

    The fundraiser for victims of the Los Angeles fires included some of LAs finest musicians. Everyone from Joni Mitchell, Stephen Stills with Graham Nash, to the Red Hot Chili Peppers, to Katy Perry and Billie Eilish.

    The excellent six hour concert was put together in record time.

    You can watch the entire concert below or go to YouTube to select the artists you want to see.

    Most artists performed a couple of their greatest hits including Joni Mitchell (Both Sides Now), Stephen Stills with Graham Nash (For What It's Worth and Teach Your Children), Alanis Morrissete (Hand in My Pocket and Ironic), Red Hot Chili Peppers (Under the Bridge, Californication).

    The highlights of the six hour concert also included Pink channeling Janis Joplin (Me and Bobby McGee) and Robert Plant (“Babe I’m Gonna Leave You”). Rod Stewart (Forever Young, Maggie May), Sting, Stevie Nicks (Landslide, Edge of Seventeen), and Billie Eilish who sang with her brother on guitar.

    Dave Grohl reconstituted Nirvana and had Joan Jett sing along as well as his daughter Violet.

    John Mayer did a good set, Dr. Dre and other rappers appeared too.

    I didn't manage to stay up to see Lady Gaga and Stevie Wonder.

    In all this concert stands as one of the greatest fundraisers on a par with Live Aid.

    Was the entire area surrounded by the fire department, in case someone lit a cigarette.

    Sorry.... When I saw the title of the thread, it was the first thing that sprang to mind. :D

    You forgot to mention Stevie Nicks. Her performance was stunning. An enthusiastic, high energy rendition of Stand back, an absolute emotional performance of Landslide, and Edge of seventeen performed with ad libs, modified lyrics and amazing style. Stevie Nicks is the master of stage presence like always.
