All I can say is WOW...we were in the group of people behind the WWII Memorial and in front of the Washington Monument...the show on HBO does not even do justice to the amount of people who turned out for the concert. There must of been over a half a million people on the Mall. The concert was great as we watched it on one of the many jumbotrons throughout the Mall. My highlights were Herbie Hancock, Will.I.am and Cheryl Crow singing "One Love", Stevie Wonder, Usher and Shakira singing "Higher Ground", U2 singing Pride and "City of Blinding Lights"and finally my favorite part of the concert folk legend Pete Seeger leading "This Land Is My Land" with Springsteen.

As close as could get. by you.

WOW... by you.
