February 2, 201214 yr At first, I was like, why didn't I hear about this or buy tickets? Upon further research, I'm kinda glad. LOL Here is the reservation form: And if that's too hard to read, here is the direct link to the reservation form. http://www.grammy.org/files/poty_final_res_form.pdf And it's SOLD OUT...wow.
February 3, 201214 yr http://popcrush.com/katy-perry-coldplay-musicares-paul-mccartney-tribute-concert/ I wonder which Beatles song they'll play. Katy Perry, Coldplay + More to Perform at MusiCares Benefit Concert Honoring Paul McCartney by: Jeff Giles 8 hours ago Coldplay and Katy Perry Chris Jackson / Jeff Bottari, Getty Images Not only will Katy Perry and Coldplay be performing on the Grammy Stage Feb. 12, the two popsters will be honoring Paul McCartney two days prior at this year’s MusiCares tribute concert. Alicia Keys is also listed as a performer. Part of an annual tradition dating back to 1991, this year’s MusiCares Person of the Year concert will be held in Los Angeles, with tickets ranging from $1,500 to $100,000. It sounds awfully pricey, even with that lineup, but it’s for a good cause: MusiCares offers a safety net for musicians who need assistance in times of financial, personal, or medical crisis. In addition to Coldplay, Perry, and Keys, this year’s list of performers includes Foo Fighters, Alison Krauss, Norah Jones, and past Person of the Year honorees James Taylor and Tony Bennett — as well as McCartney himself, who’ll be promoting his latest album, the collection of pop standards ‘Kisses on the Bottom.’ So what Beatles songs would you like Katy and Chris Martin to cover? Sound off in the comments below.
February 4, 201214 yr It would have to be a Paul-centric Beatles song. No "Help" or "Something." And certainly no "Octopusses' Garden!"
February 6, 201214 yr Will they play a Beatles song?! That would be a dream come true!:D It makes sense since it's a tribute. I can't wait to hear which one they perform.
February 10, 201214 yr Author is anybody attending? Have you seen the ticket prices? I don't think many people can afford that.
February 10, 201214 yr Apparently they soundchecked Get Back at the Club Nokia gig, so I expect they'll play that :D
February 10, 201214 yr ticket prices[/url]? I don't think many people can afford that. oh I Had'nt actually! Well, I guess its not much of a typical "concert" with those ticket prices!
February 10, 201214 yr Apparently they soundchecked Get Back at the Club Nokia gig, so I expect they'll play that :D That'll be great! I expected them to play Hey Jude or something, but it's awesome they're going out of their comfort zone. So excited to hear this!
February 10, 201214 yr It might be a stupid question but I was actually wondering: will this be broadcast ?
February 10, 201214 yr That'll be great! I expected them to play Hey Jude or something, but it's awesome they're going out of their comfort zone. So excited to hear this! Will tweeted today that they were still undecided. Yes, is this being broadcast? Or streamed? I can't see it not airing at some point.
