Inaugural celebration concert

[serene]

From pic2009.org -- note that you DON'T have to have HBO to watch this. I'd be curious to see if any of my non-US friends are able to get it on hbo.com.

The President-elect will be kicking off the inaugural celebration this afternoon on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial with a free, blow-out concert featuring Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Bono, Garth Brooks, Sheryl Crow, Renee Fleming, Josh Groban, Herbie Hancock, Heather Headley, John Legend, Jennifer Nettles, John Mellencamp, Usher Raymond IV, Shakira, Bruce Springsteen, James Taylor, will.i.am, and Stevie Wonder.

You can hear the President-elect speak and watch these A-listers perform live on HBO (it’s free for non-subscribers) at 2:30 p.m. ET or on HBO.com. HBO will be presenting an encore performance from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. ET/PT. We’ll also be live-blogging the event on this site and posting photos of the big event.
