- Paul Simon - America: A Tribute to Heroes (21 Sept 2001) - Bridge Over Troubled Water
America: A Tribute to Heroes was a benefit concert created by the heads of the four major American broadcast networks; Fox, ABC, NBC and CBS. Joel Gallen was selected by them to produce and run the show. Actor George Clooney organized celebrities to perform and to staff the telephone bank.
It was broadcast live by the four major American television networks and all of the cable networks in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in 2001. Done in the style of a telethon, it featured a number of national and international entertainers performing to raise money for the victims and their families, particularly the New York City firefighters and New York City police officers. It aired September 21, 2001, uninterrupted and commercial-free, for which it won a Peabody Award.[1] It was released on December 4, 2001, on compact disc and DVD.
On a dark stage illuminated by hundreds of candles, twenty-one artists performed songs of mourning and hope, while various actors and other celebrities delivered short spoken messages. The musical performances took place at three studios in Los Angeles (CBS Television City), New York, and London, while the celebrity messages took place in Los Angeles. Some of the musicians, including Neil Young and Eddie Vedder, were heard working the phone banks taking pledges. Over $200 million was raised and given to the United Way's September 11 Telethon Fund.
In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine selected this concert, along with The Concert for New York City, as one of the 50 moments that changed rock and roll.
The show was also simulcast in Canada; Young and another Canadian singer, Celine Dion, performed.

wow ... terrible ... very sad what happened that day. God bless the United States ... I love the United States ….Greetings from Argentina…Pablo
What a beautiful tribute! Only Paul can convey the message.
Great!
Really GREAT to see you posted this piece.
I am still missing "The Boxer".
In the country where I am living it is not to be received on the broadcastchannel.
It is really a pity for so many Paul Simon fans missing this very important part of this SNL Show.
Maybe you will have the opportunity to post it here too. I would be very grateful to you and I guess many European fans with me.
I thank you in advance if you will fulfill my humble request.
Kind regards from The Netherland. Many Paul Simon fans are still alive here too!
Hello to You in The Netherlands...
I don't understand your request. This was not on SNL (Saturday Night Live?). This was a special concert performed live on TV only once on 21 Sept 2001... America: A Tribute to Heroes (21 Sept 2001)...ruclips.net/p/PLv_Z-b9pO4-hLTvir93CDF3Er7-GXGMGu
Take care,
Doug in Cleveland, Ohio, USA
@@HarringtonFamilyTree You`re right Paul Simon performed the Boxer on the first SNL broadcast after 9/11. Until now not to be received outside the USA I gyess. Many thanks for answering me. I am so curious ho the upcoming Paul Simon concerts to be held on the West Coast of the USA will sound. Tomorrow nite in Oakland Ca. I am really afraid Gleenn you know what I`m talking about. No need to mention what happened to immigrants in that town. May God Bless Their Souls.
Kind regards from Holland
@@marianne8655 You're welcome.
Artie's version should have been sung here. This version of Paul he used in 1999-2009 doesn't suit the power this song gives.
That’s why he had Art sing it on the original recording.
Not a tribute!
Blah blah blah
