Global Citizen's One World: Together at Home Concert tonight was to benefit and support WHO and healthcare workers worldwide. Nothing like this has ever been attempted before even with LiveAid.
Hosted by the late night trio of Fallon/Kimmel/Colbert and opened by Lady Gaga, it was fascinating to hear the variety of songs old and new, foreign and domestic. There were Taylor Swift, Andrea Bocelli, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, The Rolling Stones, Jennifer Lopez and many others. The production was remarkably smooth with videos varying in quality but transitioning seamlessly among healthcare worker interviews, former first ladies, film and TV stars, and especially world class music artists. Performing from home settings, many of them singing covers of thematically relevant songs. And more than a few performances were so good (especially that finale), they brought tears. A worthy event for all.
