NEW YORK (AP) - Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band and Kanye West will hit the stage at a Superstorm Sandy benefit concert next month at Madison Square Garden.

MSG announced Thursday that Billy Joel, The Who, Alicia Keys and Jon Bon Jovi will also perform at the Dec. 12 show, dubbed "12-12-12." More performers will be announced at a later date.

Proceeds from the concert will go to the Robin Hood Relief Fund to benefit those affected by Sandy in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Sandy's assault more than two weeks ago created widespread damage and power outages throughout the area.

Just my opinion -I felt Kanye West and Bruce Springsteen were the 2 worst performances of the concert

It's always good to see some people are more than others to help people in a crisis. I live in La where we are used to storms and hurricanes and believe me when I tell you it is so hard for people to just pick up their lives and start over. Every cent they raise for the victims will be appreciated by all. America has a lot to be ashamed about but also has a lot to be proud of. If the greedy can find it in their hearts to let the money go where it is needed the beneficiaries will undoubtly be very grateful.
