MUSICIANS were so intent upon helping victims of Superstorm Sandy that they didn't seem to want their benefit concert in New York to end.
The final notes of Alicia Keys' "Empire State of Mind" closed the star-studded show at 1:19am Thursday, nearly six hours after Bruce Springsteen set the tone with "Land of Hope and Dreams."
In between, the Madison Square Garden stage hosted a mini-Nirvana reunion with Paul McCartney in the Kurt Cobain role, a duet between Coldplay's Chris Martin and former R.E.M. singer Michael Stipe, Kanye West in a leather skirt, plus numerous British music royalty.
The sold-out show was televised live, streamed online and played on the radio to a potential audience of 2 billion.
