I couldn't go because I had to attend a wedding in Ohio, but i was thinking of all you guys. But I am absolutely HOPING that someone has this concert on tape. It's, as the Grateful Dead album says, "One From The Vaults". - ----- Original Message ----- From: Bertram Tunnell To: Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2001 4:30 PM Subject: NYC Concert > My email has been slightly sporadic...so not sure if anyone reported in on > the NYC concert. > > The concert was touching, deep, lively, hysterical...wonderful.

"To America's recording artists, I just want to say, please, there has already been enough suffering," Bush said. "The last thing we need right now is a soaring Barbra Streisand-Brian McKnight duet titled 'One For All.'" Reports that the FBI had confiscated several notebooks and audio tapes from Diane Warren's home could not be confirmed as of press time.
