Best Benefit Performances: No. 10
Whether the cause is global warming, famine relief or SARS, there's no shortage of musicians ready to rock for the good of humanity. But every now and then, the benefit concert stage is a setting for truly magical musical moments. Here are 10 performances that had us scrambling for our checkbooks.
What: 'Miss You'
Where: Toronto Rocks
When: July 30, 2003
After being booed and bottled offstage by the rabid rock crowd during his solo set, Justin and his huge cojones returned to help the Stones dust off their disco classic. This time, the 450,000 haters kept their jeers to themselves.

Lest we not forget, the best performance at a benefit was by far Freddie Mercury and Queen doing Radio Ga-Ga in Wembley Stadium at Live Aid. Everyone would agree they stole the show.

everyone should bow down to the rolling stones, the best rock n roll band in history, mick jaqer, keith richards still have it, ill be turning fifty this month, one of my lifes biggest regrets not being able to see them in concert, they are truly the greatest no one can hold a candle to them on stage.

i thought it was a good performance but all justin did was follow him around
and the crowd was still throwing stuff
you can tell Keith was mad at some one in the crowd after throwing something

I am 60 years old and I have seen the Stones many many times in concert, and they are the best ever in History and in the future. USA is #1 and if any one doen't think so then go to another country and get out of ours. I am proud to be American and I have taught all my children and grandchildren to love their country and they do. Terrorists teach their children to hate but we teach to love.

Whoever it was who said they "Hate America"; I do feel sorry for. His or her life is their punishment - probably because they did not take an opportunity to make a good life for themselves. I feel bad you "missed the boat", but look in the mirror and place the blame where it belongs !

This is to #4 who hates America. Get out, we don't want you here. Go back to the hole you came from.

Shame to see Jagger stuck on stage with a twerp like Timberlake. Oh and by the way #4, America hates you.
