Coolest (and most touching) moments:
- James Taylor singing "Love the One You're With"
- Stevie Wonder breaking down during "The Way You Make Me Feel"
- Sting all of a sudden appearing on stage with Stevie Wonder and jamming out a gorgeous bass line
- Bruce describing how New Jersey and Long Island were going to reconnect at the Garden and bringing Billy Joel out on stage
- Bruce singing "Only the Good Die Young" with Billy Joel
And now it's time to pass out.
