Pearl Jam/Robert Plant Benefit Concert For Katrina Relief

You may have seen this elsewhere already, but I think it's pretty cool when artists I really respect get together for something like this.

September 21st

PEARL JAM TO BE JOINED BY ROBERT PLANT AT KATRINA BENEFIT

Pearl Jam will be joined by former Led Zeppelin vocalist Robert Plant as part of the lineup of the band's Hurricane Katrina benefit, according to Reuters. The event, for which tickets are priced at $1,000, will take place on October 5th at the House Of Blues in Chicago. A spokesperson for the club said that four luxury boxes priced at $25,000 each have already been sold. Proceeds from the show will go to the Red Cross, Habitat for Humanity, the Jazz Foundation of America and the New Orleans Musicians' Clinic, among other organizations.
