''12-12-12: The Concert for Sandy Relief'' was a benefit concert that took place on December 12, 2012, at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The concert was held in response to Hurricane Sandy, which devastated portions of Northeastern United States, the Caribbean and the Mid-Atlantic in late October 2012 and cost an estimated $60 billion in damage in the United States. The concert was broadcast live via television, radio, movie theaters and the Internet, and released on DVD and CD. A documentary film was also made about the concert. Proceeds from the event were collected by the Robin Hood Relief Fund to benefit victims of the hurricane in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Many famous performers took part in the charity event, including The Who, Bruce Springsteen, Alicia Keys, Bon Jovi, Eric Clapton, Billy Joel, The Rolling Stones, Roger Waters, Chris Martin, Michael Stipe, Kanye West, Eddie Vedder, and, for the first time in eighteen years, the surviving members of Nirvana (Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic and touring member Pat Smear) who performed together in a collaboration with Paul McCartney during his show-closing set.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/paul-mccartney-to-perform-with-dave-grohl-and-friends-at-12-12-12-20121212 )〕 ==Background== The benefit concert was first announced in mid-November 2012 and that the producers behind 2001's ''The Concert for New York City'' would also produce the Hurricane Sandy benefit which quickly attracted many big names from the music industry.
