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.

My best summer, concert moment was the N'sync
concert in Ny at the Madison square garden no strings
attached in 2000 with Justin rapping on the micro
phone. 2# one was the Backstreetboys never gone
concert in Wantagh Jones beach theater in New Jersey
that was the best! i had a great time.

It's a sad thing when someone who I assume is in USA hates it. America is not perfect but it is free and worth loving.

Jagger smoked Justin onstage. However, Justin showed great presence and courage to perform side by side with Jagger, maintaining his confidence after his unsuccessful performance immediately prior. Justin is quite the professional. Also, let's note that the most important thing to pick up from this is how extremely gracious and generous a gesture it was for Jagger and the Stones to let Justin share the stage with them on maybe their most famous song, after Justin had just prior been booed off the same stage. Everyone should hold such modesty, humility and graciousness in their hearts. What a beautiful favor this was to Justin, and what an example for us all to follow.

Are you kidding me!!! Queen in Live Aid from 1985 was the BEST EVER!!! Queen stole the show. Check it out.

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 !

I just listened to The Rolling Stones and Justin Timerlake. Bear in mind that I am age 60. Respect but not a big fan of Stones nor Timerlake. Brings tears to my eyes that thanks to Al Gore and countless others, we are showing our love for Mother Earth once again. Rock on. Always hopeful, "Transistor Sister" from the 1950's.

Great concerts, to many fool's speaking in between, escpecialy Gore. Put him back in his "lock box"

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.
