The two-disc DVD set, due Jan. 29 on Columbia, will include John's "I Want Love," John and Joel's "Your Song," the Who's "Behind Blue Eyes," and McCartney's "Freedom" (the non-finale version) -- all absent from the CD version of the charity benefit concert.
The five-hour DVD also includes footage of several star-studded presenters and eight short films, created specifically for the event by such high-profile directors as Martin Scorsese, Spike Lee, Woody Allen, and Kevin Smith, among others.
The Concert for New York, put together by McCartney to benefit victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, took place in October (allstar, Oct. 22). The net proceeds from the sale of the DVD will benefit the Robin Hood Relief Fund.

Cool thanks for the cdnow link (It must be relatively new cause I did search there). And by the way, The Who did blow everyone else away. They didn't pick obscure sentimental ballads and they didn't stand up and preach, they just played great rock and roll.

Ahhh, makes me remember those nights in the Garden back in 79
