["Last Night on Earth" by Green Day]
I text a postcard, sent to you
Did it go through?
Sending all my love to you
You are the moonlight of my life
Every night...
Giving all my love to you
My beating heart belongs to you
I walked for miles till I found you
I'm here to honor you
If I lose everything in the fire,
I'm sending all my love to you
[crowd cheering]
With every breath that I am worth
Here on earth
I'm sending all my love to you
So if you dare to second guess,
you can rest
assure that all my love is for you
My beating heart belongs to you
I walked for miles til I found you
I'm here to honor you
If I lose everything in the fire,
I'm sending all my love to you
To you
[both] My beating heart belongs to you
I walked for miles til I found you
I'm here to honor you
If I lose everything in the fire,
I'm sending all my love to you
[Billy Eilish] Green Day everybody.
- Billie Eilish.
- Billie Joe.
[crowd cheering]
[Billy Joe] Thank you.
Los Angeles.
[cheering]
We are still alive.
This is California.
And we are all in this together.
From the bottom of our hearts,
we love you, Los Angeles,
and we got your back no matter what.
- Let's go.
- ["Still Breathing" by Green Day]
I'm like a child looking
off in the horizon
I'm like an ambulance
that's turning on the sirens
Oh, oh, oh.
Oh, I'm still alive
I'm like a soldier coming
home for the first time
I dodged a bullet
and I walked across a landmine
Oh, oh, oh.
I'm still alive
Am I bleeding?
Am I bleeding from the storm?
Just shine a line.
Into the wreckage so far away
Cause I'm still breathing
Cause I'm still breathing on my own.
My head's above the rain and roses
Making my way, my way.
Cause I'm still breathing
Cause I'm still breathing on my own
My head's above the rain and roses.
Making my way
My way to you
[crowd cheering]
I'm like a junkie
tying off for the last time
I'm like a loser
that's betting on his last dime
Oh, oh, oh.
I'm still alive
I'm like a son
that was raised without a father
I'm like a mother
barely keeping it together
Oh, oh I'm still alive
Am I bleeding?
Am I bleeding from the storm?
Just shine a light into the wreckage
So far away.
Cause I'm still breathing
Cause I'm still breathing on my own
My head's above the rain and roses.
Making my way away away
Cause I'm still breathing.
Cause I'm still breathing on my own
My head's above the rain and roses.
Making my way away
As I walk down ledge
Are you scared to death to live?
I've been running all my life
Just to find a home
that's for the restless.
That's the truth that's in the message.
Making my way away away
Los Angeles Get your hands up in the air.
[crowd cheering]
Yeah!
[vocalizing]
Cause I'm still breathing
Cause I'm still breathing on my own.
My head's above the rain and roses
Making my way away
Cause I'm still breathing.
Cause I'm still breathing on my own
My head's above the rain and roses.
Making my way away away
My way to you. My way to you
We're here for you!
My head's above the rain and roses.
My way to you
Get your hands up
Oh, oh
Sing it.
Oh, oh
Sing it.
Oh, oh
Sing it
Oh, oh
["When I Come Around" playing]
I heard you crying loud
All the way across town
You've been searching for that someone
and it's me out on the prowl
As you sit around
feeling sorry for yourself
Well, don't get lonely now
And dry your whining eyes
I'm just roaming for the moment
Sleazing my backyard,
so don't get so uptight
You've been thinking about ditching me
No time to search the world around
Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around,
I've heard it all before
So don't knock down my door
I'm a loser and a user
so I don't need no accuser
To try and slag me down
because I know your right
So go do what you like
Make you sure you do it wise
You may find out that your self doubt.
Means nothing was ever there
You can't go forcing...
Hey everybody get your
hands up in the air.
No time to search the world around
Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around
No time to search the world around
Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around
California.
Los Angeles.
Altadena.
The Palisades we are in this together.
[crowd cheering]
[crowd cheering]
Hi everybody, I'm Billy Crystal.
[crowd cheering]
Hello L.A.
and everybody watching
around the world, watching us.
Welcome to FireAid.
We are gathered here at the Kia Forum,
[crowd cheering]
which is Steve Ballmer's guesthouse.
And later we will be over at the fantastic
Intuit Dome.
Our goal is simple tonight,
to raise more money
than the Dodgers spent on free agents.
Now, all kidding aside, when you donate to
FireAidLA.org during tonight's broadcast,
Steve Ballmer and his wonderful wife
Connie will match it dollar for dollar.
[crowd cheering]
And...
And just as I was walking on stage,
I got word that our first big donation
of the night has come in.
It's from this band called U2.
[crowd cheering]
And it's for one million dollars.
Which really means two million dollars,
thanks to Connie and Steve.
And at home,
you too can help us by calling in.
We have an amazing evening
of dozens of incredible performers
coming together to help those in need.
And also, you'll be hearing
from a number of people who were
tragically affected by these fires.
And I am one of them.
[man in crowd] We love you Billy!
These... Shh.
These were the clothes I wore
when I fled my house with my wife Janice,
like so many of us did on January 7th.
It was all I had.
Wore it for a week, plus an N95 mask.
I looked like an evacuee
or someone who had just robbed a 7 Eleven.
But everybody's been so supportive.
This young girl, she must have been 20,
came up to me,
and said she understood my pain
because she had lost TikTok for a day.
[crowd laughing]
Everybody has a thing.
I wanted to be here tonight
because a little over 23 years ago,
and just a month after 9 11, I was asked
to welcome the audience to the concert
for New York at Madison Square Garden.
[crowd cheering]
With...
With Ground Zero still smoldering,
I walked out to a grieving audience,
holding up signs with pictures
of their loved ones on them, asking,
Have you seen them?
It was all I could do
to get my first words out.
And tonight, here I am,
talking to all of you in pain.
But now, I'm also one
of the hurting thousands,
asking, Have you seen my school?
Have you seen my church?
Have you seen my house?
Have you seen my town?
Have you seen the 29 people
who lost their lives?
Have you seen them?
On that night in 2001, we were mourning
the loss of hundreds of firefighters
and police officers and first responders.
Tonight,
we are here together to thank them,
and all those who run towards danger,
while we run to shelter and safety.
[crowd cheering]
When...
When...
When we were finally able to get back
to our house in the Palisades, which we
had lived in for 46 years, like thousands
of you, our house now looked like this.
I stepped onto the grounds,
and I fell to my knees, and I wailed.
I had not cried like that
since I was 15 years old, and I was told
that my father had just died.
I remember looking
in the mirror back then,
with my whole life ahead of me, thinking,
What is my life going to be like
without him?
Now, folks, I'm 76 years old,
without a mirror,
and a lot less life to ponder, thinking,
What is my life going to be like
without our home?
And then I heard screams
from my daughters,
Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad.
And my girls, Jenny and Lindsay, brought
over this rock from a burnt out garden.
Years ago, I bought these rocks
with one word engraved in them,
and placed them around our gardens.
They were welcome, patience, dream,
and the one I held in my hands, laughter.
I learned about the power
of laughter back in 1963.
In our shiver house, sitting alone,
sad little guy, I heard big laughs coming
from the family in our modest living room,
and I came down the hall to see my dear
Uncle Burn in the midst of his sorrow,
telling stories, and doing magic tricks,
and making the entire family laugh.
And it changed my life.
I knew at that moment,
even in your worst pain, folks, it's okay.
And it's important to laugh.
And I dedicated...
[crowd cheering]
And I dedicated my life then,
and my career then has been able to do
that throughout very difficult times,
and I'm proud of that.
But when I held that rock in my hands,
this was the only thing that was left.
I felt there was a message from that
15 year old me saying, it's gonna be okay.
And it will be okay.
With your help around the country,
and here in the room, we'll laugh again,
we're gonna listen to music again,
and we will be okay.
So tonight, from Altadena,
to Malibu, to the
Pacific Palisades,
let's show the world who we are.
We're Los Angeles,
one city, one heart, LA Strong!
[crowd cheering]
And now, please welcome,
Alanis Morissette.
[crowd cheering]
["Hand in my Pocket" by
Alanis Morissette]
I'm broke but I'm happy
I'm poor but I'm kind
- I'm short, but I'm healthy
- Yeah
I'm high, but I'm grounded
I'm sane, but I'm overwhelmed
- I'm lost, but I'm hopeful
- Baby
And what it all comes down to
He said, everything's gonna be fine,
fine, fine
I've got one hand in my pocket,
And the other one is giving a high five
I feel drunk but I'm sober
I'm young, and I'm underpaid
- I'm tired, but I'm working
- Yeah
I care, but I'm restless
I'm here, but I'm really gone
I'm wrong, and I'm sorry, baby
And what it all comes down to
Is that everything's
gonna be quite all right
I've got one hand in my pocket and
the other one is flicking a cigarette
What it all comes down to
Is that I haven't got it
all figured out just yet
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other is giving the peace sign
I'm free, but I'm focused
I'm green, but I'm wise
I'm hard but I'm friendly, baby
I'm sad, but I'm laughing
I'm brave, but I'm chicken shit
I'm sick, but I'm pretty, baby
What it all boils down to
Is that no one's really
got it figured out just yet
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other is playing the piano
What it all comes down to,
my dear friends
Everything is just fine,
fine, fine, fine
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one
is hailing a taxi cab
[crowd cheering]
Thank you so much!
I love you LA so much.
The connections that have been born
from this tragedy is deeply heartwarming.
And LA is a colorful, wild place.
And when things get hard,
we come together really hard.
And I feel it.
[woman in audience] You're my favorite!
[piano plays]
First responders and fire peeps
everywhere here, we love you.
["Thank U" by Alanis Morissette]
How about getting off
all these antibiotics
[woman screaming]
How 'bout stopping eating
when I'm full up
How 'bout them transparent
dangling carrots
How 'bout that ever elusive kudo
Thank you, India. Thank you, terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you, frailty.
Thank you, consequence
Thank you, thank you, silence
How about me not blaming you
for everything
How about me enjoying
a moment for once
How about how good it
feels to finally forgive you
How 'bout grieving
it all one at a time
Thank you, India. Thank you, terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you, consequence. Thank you
Thank you, silence
The moment I let go
of it was the moment
I got more than I could handle
The moment I jumped off of it
Was the moment I touched down
How 'bout no longer being masochistic
How 'bout remembering your divinity
How 'bout unabashedly
bawling your eyes out
[woman in crowd] Wooo!
How 'bout not equating
death with stopping
Thank you, India
Thank you, providence
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you, nothingness
Thank you, clarity
Thank you
Thank you, silence
Yeah, yeah
Thank you so much.
So much empathy to you for with you.
I love you.
Two major wildfires are carving a path of
destruction through Southern California.
- Embers were just flying out of control.
- It's heartbreaking to see all of this.
Everything is just burned out.
Everything is gone.
I woke up at 3am in the morning
and my room was filled with smoke.
I knew then that I couldn't stay there.
I saw the fires burning, but I didn't know
how bad it was in my area.
And it wasn't until I was
able to get up there and see for myself
everything that's just gone.
I'm standing on what was
my front porch of my home.
Everything behind me,
my whole house, everything gone.
And this is devastating.
Everything on my block is just gone.
I'm basically starting at zero.
I wish it was just a terrible dream,
a nightmare, but this is real.
Everything I have on right now
has been provided for me by somebody else.
Everything down to my
underwear and t shirts.
I like to think that we are going to come
back stronger and better than before.
You know, I'm a carpenter
and I want to help rebuild Altadena,
get those homes back up and that sense
of community to be felt again.
There's still bright days ahead
and I look forward to that.
You can hear California
in every note of his music.
Please welcome Anderson Paak
and the Free Nationals.
One, two, three.
["Put Me Thru" by Anderson Paak]
Why the hell would you run this game?
Both my hands are tied
Afraid of thinking I dug my own grave
Fuck around with this
strange and elusive
Too afraid to lose it
I don't mind this pain
Most niggas want you for your candy
They'll never know
just how long it takes
I wave my own pride
And put it all on the line
There I go, volunteering, punish me
Self inflicted pain, sickness over used
Way over used
Here I stay, hey, time to time
It must be what you put me through
It must be what you put me through
A little while longer a bit more time
Why would you run these thoughts
across my mind?
Please, relieve me As cool as I remain
There's a point in which
I'll lose my self restraint
Say, love
most niggas would've left you lonely
I fancy throwing it all away
I see it to my own demise
- How much longer will I let it ride?
- There I go, volunteering, punish me
Self inflicted pain,
sickness over used
- Will I let it ride?
- Here I stay
Here I stay, time to time
Hey, It must be what you put me through
It must be what you put me through.
Here I stay,
Time and time
- It must be
- What you put me through
Ladies and Gentlemen

One more time

I'll go by the name of
Anderson Paak, it's a pleasure
to be a part of this epic lineup.
I know these are tough times,
devastating times.
Our hearts go out to everyone in Los
Angeles who is affected by the fires,
but tonight we showed that we can come
together for a great cause, and as far as
I'm concerned this is one of the greatest
nights in Los Angeles history tonight.
We want to give a big shout-out
to all the artists who are performing
on this stage, all the crew,
the organizers, and especially you
who came out tonight to provide, some aid,
for the people who need it.

[crowd cheering]
Firefighters are now fighting
five wildfires at once.
The first night, we were up in Palisades,
and the chief just tells you, here's your
neighborhood, go find something to save.
I've been in the fire service
30 years now.
For me, it's in my blood.
This is by far the worst fire disaster
that I've witnessed.
It was just a perfect storm of events.
The fires, they were unstoppable.
To see all the damage that's happened,
neighborhoods wiped out,
people have lost everything.
You definitely start feeling defeated.
Firefighters desperately have been trying
to stop those flames
from crossing over the ridge and heading
to other major population centers.
Mandeville Canyon, hundreds of houses
were threatened within an instant.
And we put so many resources up there.
Aircraft and helicopters
and big, giant DC 10s.
Get them, brothers!
It was six hours of a firefight
in this canyon, and we lost one home only.
The call to save Los Angeles has been
answered by firefighters and other first
responders from all over the country.
It's just people who have a heart
to give service back to the people,
and those are your firefighters,
and, you know, they want to give back
to the community and just help people.
We all owe so much
to the fire department for what they do.
- These guys are heroes.
- God bless them.
You know, people come up to us
nonstop and they thank us.
For me, it's important to thank Water
and Power, LAPD, the National Guard.
All those people are away
from their family just as long as us.
Thank them, too.
Disasters bring communities together.
Everybody in L.A.
and Southern California and across
America, and even the world, they
come together to help in time of need.
And that ultimately shows
what humanity is about.
[crowd cheering]
I can think of no better person
to assuage us during this time
than the incomparable Joni Mitchell.
["Both Sides Now" by Joni Mitchell]
Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
And they rain and they
snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
All the clouds got in my way
I've looked at clouds from both sides
now
From up and down
And still somehow it's cloud illusions
I recall
I really don't know clouds at all
Moons and Junes and ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way that you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way
But now it's just another show
You leave them laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away
I've looked at love
from both sides now
From give and take and still somehow
It's love's illusions. I recall
I really don't know love
I really don't know love at all
Tears and fears, and feeling proud
To say I love you right out loud
Oh, dreams and schemes
and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way,
but now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads and they say,
Joanie, you've changed
Well, something's lost,
but something's
gained in living every day
I've looked at life
from both sides now
From win and lose.
And still, somehow,
it's life's illusions that I recall
I really don't know life
I really don't know life at all
Thank you.
[laughs]
[reporter] Family sanctuaries
for nearly 50 years reduced to ash.
[female reporter] It's been a period of
unimaginable change
for the Williams family.
The Eaton wildfire destroyed generations
of their family's Altadena homes.
[woman] When we go outside,
it's just dark swirling.
We knew it was bad.
Four members of the family
lost their homes entirely.
Despite the long road ahead,
they're still finding the light
in even the darkest of moments.
It's a blessing that we've been able
to all stay together through this.
Yeah.
Because I don't know
what I would do with that.
- Yeah.
- God is still watching over us.
We are so blessed.
[crowd cheering]
Hello, LA!
I'm Dr. Yechelle Williams, and I'm
here with my sisters, Crystal, Kim,
Dr. Ellen, and my mother, Matilda.
We are the Williams family from Altadena.
At about 3.30 in the morning,
the warning hit our phones.
Fast moving fire, evacuate now.
And we did.
We grabbed what we could.
Pictures, our grandmother's special clock.
We collected our father's ashes
and his flag from serving in the military.
We live close to one another,
and thank goodness we all made it out.
Including our 47 year old parrot, Hank.
Among the five of us standing here,
we lost four homes.
And we're struggling
to find places to live.
We have ties to the Altadena community
going back to 1948
when our grandmother brought her home.
[crowd cheering]
We love our community.
And right now,
we are all grieving immense loss.
But there's a sign in the ruins
at my mother's home.
Everything was destroyed
except her front door.
It stands at this hour.
It's a sign
because that door was always open.
That door was the gateway to love.
[crowd cheers]
While many of us live elsewhere right now,
we are bound together to one another,
healed by one another
because of family and faith.
And it's what gives us strength
to be here tonight.
[crowd cheering]
The next band is from L.A.
two of the members and their parents
also sadly lost their homes in Altadena.
Please help me welcome, Dawes.

["Time Spent In Los Angeles
Lyrics" by Dawes]
These days my friends
don't seem to know me
Without my suitcase in my hands
And when I'm Standing still,
I seem to disappear
But maybe that's how I found you
Maybe that taught me
exactly what I want
Maybe meeting you this
far away from home
is what makes it all so clear that
You've got that special
kind of sadness
You've got that tragic set of charms
That only comes from time spent
in Los Angeles
Makes me want to wrap you in my arms
When people ask me where I'm home from
To see what it says about a man I
only end up giving bad directions
To never leave them there at all
It's something written
in the headlights
It is something swimming in my drink
And if I were the moon,
it would be exactly where I'd fall
Cause you've got
that special kind of sadness
And you've got that tragic
set of charms
That only comes
from time spent in Los Angeles
Makes me want to wrap you in my arms
I used to think
that someone would love me
For all these places that I've been
And the dirt that I've been gathering.
Deep beneath my nails
But now I know what I've been missing
And I'm going home to make it mine
And I'll be battening the edges.
And pulling in the sails
Cause you've got
that special kind of sadness
You've got that tragic set of charms
That only comes
from time spent in Los Angeles
Makes me want to wrap you in my arms
You've got that special
kind of sadness
You've got that tragic set of charms
That only comes
from time spent in Los Angeles
Makes me want to wrap you in my arms
We'd like to welcome to the stage.
Stephen Stills with Mike Campbell.
["For What it's Worth"
by Stephen Stills]
There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop,
Hey...
What's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down?
There's battle lines being drawn
Ain't nobody right.
If everybody's wrong.
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
It's time we stop, hey
What's that sound?
Everybody look What's going down
What a field day for the heat
A thousand people standing out
Tryin' to hear the street cut.
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
-Hey, what's that sound
-Everybody look what's going down
Going down.
Hey
[inaudible]
[continues inaudibly]
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line,
the man come and take you away
Hey, what's that sound?
[vocalizing]
Everybody look what's going down
Stop hey what's that sound
everybody look what's going down
Time to take it down
Everybody look what's going down
[guitar solo]
We've got to stop.
Hey, what's that sound?
[vocalizing]
And now let's add to that.
Let's welcome to the stage,
Mr. Graham Nash.
So pleased to be here.
Particularly with the great band Dawes.
And my partner for so many years,
Stephen Stills.
You know, there's a very large community
here in Los Angeles
made up of many, many musicians.
And whenever Los Angeles gets into
trouble, the musicians are right there.
And I'm proud to be one of them.
["Teach Your Children"
by Stills and Nash]
You, who are on the road,
must have a code that you can live by
And so become yourself
Because the past is just a goodbye
Teach your children well,
their father's hell did slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams,
the one they pick
Is the one's you'll know by
Come one join us here
Don't you ever ask them why,
if they told you, you would cry,
so just look at them and sigh
And know they love you
And you, of tender years,
can't now the fears that
your elders grew by,
And so please help them
with your youth,
'Cause they seek the truth
Before they can die
Teach your parents well,
their children's hell
will slowly go by,
and feed them on your dreams,
The ones they pick, is the one's you'll
know by
- Let me hear ya.
- [crowd Singing]
[crowd singing]
Take care of yourself!
Take care of one another!
[reporter] Three dog
trapped in their house
alone as the Palisades fire closed in.
I was in San Francisco at the time.
My wife, Six, was traveling in Asia.
They had someone taking care of their dogs
in the Pacific Palisades.
But the dog sitter got stuck.
A fire in the vicinity prevented
her from getting to their home.
Jonathan Vigliotti was reporting from
the Pacific Palisades Charter High School.
We live right up the street from there.
This neighborhood under threat right now.
At least five homes destroyed.
I was in the Palisades showing what was
going on within the disaster zone.
And I posted something on social media.
And Andrea's wife saw that post.
And they connected with us.
And said, we've got dogs in our house.
Can you go in, break in, and get them?
When we got to the street,
the houses on the other side of the street
from Andrea's were already on fire.
We looked at each other and we just knew,
we have to take action,
otherwise those dogs will not survive.
We grabbed a chair,
we smashed through the window, and then it
was just all action, no thinking.
- Hey guys, where are you?
- There was one right by the door.
There was another hiding under a bed.
And then the third was growling
and did not want to be caught.
Come on, we gotta go.
- Good boy, let's go.
- Yeah, you are so funny.
I understand.
And by the time we got the last dog
into the car, there were embers
starting to ignite Andrea's home.
- Okay, let's go.
- Then Andrea's house burned down.
I saw my phone ringing. It was Jonathan.
The first thing he said was,
we got the dogs.
When we finally reunited Andrea with his
dogs, he immediately broke down crying.
We did too.
All the adrenaline and fear and anxiety
and hope just suddenly released
and we both just broke down in tears.
That's one of the most
life affirming moments.
You know, we don't have kids,
but they feel like a part of you.
But I was thinking immediately
about all the other people who could not
get back into their homes at the time,
who were outside of the evacuation zone
and could not gain access,
who weren't able to have those reunions.
In tragedy, we oftentimes find
our best version of ourselves.
And I think that is on clear display
here in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles!
Help me welcome a true powerhouse!
Pink.
["What About Us" by Pink]
[both vocalizing]
That's nice
We are searchlights
we can see in the dark
We are rockets pointed up at the stars.
We are billions of beautiful hearts
And you sold us down the river too far
What about us?
What about all the times
you said you had the answers?
What about us?
What about all the broken
happy ever afters?
Oh, what about us?
What about all the plans
that ended in disaster?
What about love? What about trust?
What about us?
We are problems that want to be solved
We are children that need to be loved
We were willing. We came
when you called
But man, you fooled us,
Enough is enough
What about us?
What about all the times
you sent you at the answers?
What about us?
What about all the broken
happy ever afters?
Oh, what about us?
What about all the plans
that ended in disaster?
What about trust? What about us?
What about love?
Sticks and stones, they may break
these bones, but then I'll be ready
Are you ready?
It's the start of us waking up, come on
Are you ready? I'll be ready
I don't want control. I want to let go
Cause now it's time to let them know
What about us?
What about all the times
you said you had the answer?
What about us?
What about all the broken
happy ever afters?
Oh, what about our us?
What about all the plans
that ended in disaster?
What about love? What about trust?
What about us?
What about us? What about us?
What about us? What about us?
What about us? What about us?
Thank you
Thank you I want to first thank
our first responders and...
From the bottom of our hearts.
I'm very honored to be here on a night
like tonight and I'm very grateful that
you all would want to be here to celebrate
generosity and love and kindness.
I hope we can continue
to gather in that spirit.
If you're hurting, I'm hurting with you.
My heart is with you.
I'm going to keep my feet
on the ground tonight.
And I'm going to sing a couple of songs
that bring me comfort.
And I hope that they
do the same for you all.
- Thank you.
- Thanks for having us.
["Me and Bobby McGee" by Janis Joplin]
Busted flat in Baton Rouge,
waitin' for a train
And I's feelin' near
as faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down,
just before it rained
It rode us all the way to New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red
bandanna I was playing
soft while Bobby sang the blues
Windshield wipers slappin' time,
I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
We sang every song that driver knew
Freedom's just another word
for nothing left to lose
Nothing.
Only nothing, honey
It ain't free.
Yeah
Feelin' good was easy, Lord.
When he sang the blues
Feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me, Bobby McGee.
Yeah
From the Kentucky coal mines
to the California sun, Yeah
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Through all kinds of weather.
Through everything we've done
Bobby, baby, help me
from the cold world
One day up near Salinas,
Lord, I let him slip away
He's lookin' for that home,
and I hope he finds it
But, I'd trade all of my tomorrows,
for a single yesterday
To be holding Bobby's
body next to mine
Freedom's just another word.
for nothing left to lose
Nothing. Oh, that's all
that Bobby left me
Oh, yeah.
Feeling good when it seems to be loved
When he sang the blues.
Feeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and
Bobby McGee, yeah
La, da, da, da,
La, da, da, da,
La, da, da, da,
La, da, da, da, Bobby McGee, yeah
La, da, da, da, da. Bobby McGee, yeah
La, da, da. Hey, Bobby McGee
La, da, da. [repeat]
Hey, Bobby McGee
Yeah, yeah
Well, I call him my lover, call him my
man I said, I call him my lover
did the best I can, c'mon
Will you help me now
Hey now, Bobby McGee, yeah
Hey, now, na, now, na, now, na,
now, na, now, na, now, na, now
Hey hey
Hey now, Bobby McGee, yeah
Woo!
Thank you.
I think I almost just passed out.
Okay.
Thank you. You guys are awesome.
Tonight is so special. So, so special.
I'm so inspired by the love
that is happening.
Alright, this is one of our favorites.
We got any Led Zeppelin fans out there?
Alright, thank God.
Babe, I'm gonna leave you.
["Babe, I'm gonna leave you."
by Led Zeppelin]
Babe
Baby, baby, I'm gonna leave you
I said, baby,
you know I'm gonna leave you
Yeah, leave you in the summertime
Leave you when the summer
comes rolling
Leave you when the summer comes alive
Baby, baby, baby
I don't want to leave you
I ain't joking, woman.
I've got to ramble
Oh, yeah.
Baby, baby, I'm leaving
Really got to ramble
I can hear it callin' me
the way it used to do
Hey, I can hear it callin' me back home
Woman
Woman
I know, I know
It feels good to have you back again
And I know that one day, baby,
it's really going to grow
Yes, it is
We're going
to go walking through the park
Everyday
[vocalizing]
[guitar solo]
Come what may, every day, ooh
[Crowd cheering]
Hello.
Samuel L. Jackson here.
I'm kicking off the show
down the street at the Intuit Dome.
- Are you ready to get this going?
- Yeah.
This concert is so big,
we had to fill two arenas.
We're all here to watch some
incredible music and hold each other up.
The fires were devastating.
But the firefighters in this town,
from all over this country,
and even other countries,
saved so many lives and so many homes.
We've got hundreds of first responders
here in the house.
Let's give them a huge round of applause.
Give it up! Give it up!
Yeah, Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Give it up, give it up!
Even while they fought for us,
some of them lost their homes.
I'd like for you to meet Chien Yu
and his wife and their children,
Hudson and Atticus. His wife, Kim.
Thank you, Sam.
We live in Altadena, and I've been in
the Pasadena Fire Department for 18 years.
[crowd cheering]
The night of the Eaton Fire,
I saw the glow through the trees.
Kim and I got our kids out
as soon as we got our orders to evacuate.
After they were safe, I went to work.
For 16 hours, I fought the flames.
And they were unlike anything
any of us have ever experienced.
When we finally got a break,
I immediately went to check on my house.
And it was gone.
A few days later,
I started combing through the ashes,
and I found my wedding ring.
[crowd cheering]
I always take it off for work,
and I never thought I'd get it back.
But I'm not the only firefighter
who lost their home.
But what I keep hearing is this.
We're not going anywhere. We will rebuild.
[crowd cheering]
I believe we will. And we can.
We love our firefighters,
and we need to help them right now.
So go to the website
and give what you can.
All the money that's raised will go
directly to people who need help in the
short term and for the long term effort
to get this city back on its feet.
Now, to kick out the music at the Intuit
Dome is two time rock and roll hall
of famer, and my ex neighbor, Sir Rod.
["Forever Young" by Rod Stewart]
May the good Lord be with you
Down every road you roam
And may sunshine and happiness
surround you when you're far from home
And may you grow to be proud
Dignified and true
And do unto others,
as you'd have done to you
Be courageous and be brave
And in my heart always remain.
Forever young
Forever young
May good fortune be with you.
May your guiding light be strong
Build a stairway to heaven,
with a prince or a vagabond
And may you never love in vain
and in my heart always remain
Forever Young, Forever Young
Forever Young, Forever Young
Forever Young
Forever Young
[guitar solo]
When you finally fly away
I'll be hoping that
I've served your way well
For all the wisdom of a lifetime
No one can ever tell
But whatever road you choose
I'm right behind you, win or lose
Forever Young, Forever Young
Forever Young, Forever Young
Forever Young
Forever Young
Forever Young
Thank you, That's very kind of you.
[inaudible] ...what's a British
person doing on the stage
tonight, but I lived here for 50 years.
50 years.
So this Los Angeles, California
is my blood in my soul and in my heart.
Now here's a new song.
Not.
["Maggie May" by Rod Stewart]
Wake up, Maggie
I think I got something to say to you
It's late September
and I really should be back at school
I know I keep you amused,
but I feel I'm being used
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't
have tried anymore
You led me away from home
Cause you didn't want to be alone
You stole my heart,
and that's what really hurts
Morning sun, when it's in your face.
When it shows your age
That don't worry me
That don't worry me. Not in my eyes
You're everything
I laughed at all of your jokes.
My love, you didn't need to coax
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't
have tried anymore
You led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my soul.
And that's what really hurts
Come on Maggie
I suppose I could collect my books
and get on back to school
Or steal my daddy's cue
and make a living out of playing pool
Or find myself a rock 'n' roll band
That needs a helping hand
Oh, Maggie, I wished
I'd never seen your face
You made a first class fool out of me
I'm just blind as a fool can be
You stole my soul. But
I love you anyway
[guitar solo]
Oh!
Maggie, I wish I'd never
seen your face
Oh, Maggie, I wish I'd never seen
your face I got to get back home Maggie
Get back home Maggie
Get back home Maggie
[crowd cheering]
Thank you for being here
for this tremendous cause.
Thanks, Ervin, Azoff and the family.
This next song was written
during the civil uprising in the 1960s.
And I think this one is
apropos for this evening.
This one, People Get Ready.
["People Get Ready" by Rod Stewart]

So people get ready.
There's a train a coming

Hits her like a sunrise
She comes and goes,
and comes and goes like no one can
Tonight she's out to lose herself...
To find a high on Peachtree Street
From mixed drinks to techno beats
it's always heavy into everything
She comes and goes and comes
and goes like no one can
She comes and goes and no one knows
she's slipping through my hands
She's always buzzing

[man in crowd] Thank you! Bravo!
[crowd cheering]
Hi, everyone
Hi, I'm Quinta Brunson.
[crowd cheering]
Thank you.
Thank you, guys.
The fires all over LA
have destroyed homes and schools,
disrupting education for thousands.
They have taken an immeasurable toll
on our children, parents,
and the people with one of the most
important and toughest jobs in the world.
Teachers. Yeah.
Right now,
I'd like you to meet one of them,
a math teacher, Aurora Barboza Flores.
Thank you, Quinta.
Good evening, everybody.
It took me 21 years
to save for a down payment.
[Quinta] I got you
My hard work paid off.
Five years ago,
I purchased my dream home in Altadena.
And I was embraced by the community.
So now I've lost more than my home.
I've lost my community, too.
I was so proud to be a homeowner.
So proud to have a place
to call my own in this city.
During the fire, it got so windy,
I had to evacuate.
I kept hearing about friends
and neighbors who lost their homes.
So I borrowed a bike,
put on a mask and goggles,
and went to see the house for myself.
The destruction of the fire in Altadena
made it look like a war zone.
Power lines down. Homes and cars burnt.
My house on Glen Rose Avenue was gone.
Everything was gone.
But I did manage to find one thing.
A dish that I used to keep my jewelry in.
It had an inscription which reads,
I think I'll just be happy today.
That's right.
[crowd cheering]
Sometimes that's all we can do.
Even though it's hard,
there are moments that get us through.
- Moments like tonight.
- That's right.
Everybody, let's thank Aurora
and all the teachers out there right now.
[crowd cheering]
Yes.
[crowd continues cheering]
Yes.
Amazing.
Thank you.
So, listen up. Give what you can.
100% of the money given to the fire aid
goes to short term relief
and long term efforts to rebuild.
The info is on the screen.
And now, one of the greatest
groups of all time,
I can't believe I'm standing next to them.

["September"

Is there a party over here?
Is there a party up there?
Where's the party, y'all?
Everybody come.
Do you remember
The 21st night of September?
Love was changing the mind
of pretenders
While chasin'
the clouds away
Our hearts were ringin'
In the key that our souls
were singin'
As we danced in the night,
remember
How we knew love
was here to stay
Everybody sing!
Ba-dee-ya, say,
do you remember?
Ba-dee-ya,
dancin' in September
Ba-dee-ya,
never was a cloudy day
My thoughts are with you
Holding hands with your heart
to see you
Only blue talk and love,

How we knew
love was here to stay
Now December found the love
that we shared in September
Only blue talk and love,

Yeah, yeah
The true love we share today
Ba-dee-ya, say,

KIA Forum, you've been
a fantastic audience tonight.
Once again,
are you ready to rock?
[audience] Yeah!
In that case, let me introduce
you to the Black Crowes.
Hell, Yeah.
Los Angeles.
It feels good. It feels good.
It's a rock and roll remedy
["Remedy" by The Black Crowes]
Baby, baby,
why can't you sit still?
Who killed that bird
out on your window sill?
Are you the reason
that he broke his back?
Tell me, did I see you baby
laugh about that?
Now I'm gonna bring it all,
take it like a dream?
Why won't you let me tell you
just what I mean?
Now I'm gonna touch you now,

Can I have some remedy?
Remedy baby!
- Remedy for me please.

Can I have some remedy?
A remedy, yeah
Please me
Baby, baby
why did you dye your hair?
Why you always keeping
with your mother's dare?
Baby why's who's who,
who know you too?
Did the other children
scold on you?
Have mercy.
If I come on like a dream?
Would you let me show you
what I mean?
Now, If you let me
come on inside?
Will you let it slide?
Can I have some remedy?
Remedy baby
Remedy for me please

Can I have some remedy?
Remedy, yeah
I'd take enough to please me
Get down!

The world has ever been

Thank you, thank you.
Alright everybody.
Please, welcome to the stage,
Mr. John Fogerty.
How y 'all doing?
I'm so happy to be here.
I'm very happy
you are here, too.
I thank these fellas
for backing me up,
playing a song with me.
Thank you, guys and gals.
Well, this song has a rainbow
in it, and it's just for you.
["Have You Ever Seen the Rain?"
by John Fogerty]
Someone told me long ago
There's a calm
before the storm
I know, it's been comin'
for some time
When it's over, so they say
It'll reign a sunny day
I know,
shinin' down like water
I wanna know
have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know that
have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?
Yesterday and days before
Sun is cold and rain is hard
I know, been that way
for all my time
'Til forever, on it goes
Through the circle,
fast and slow
I know, it can't stop,
I wonder
Alright, here we go.
I wanna know that
have you ever seen the rain?
You are beautiful.
I wanna know that
have you ever seen the rain?
Comin' down on a sunny day?
I wanna know that
have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know that
have you ever seen the rain?
Comin' down on a sunny day?
Out there!
Alright, thank y'all so much.
God bless ya.
[guitar strum]
Well, alright!
Every, everybody comes up
and says it.
He needs no introduction.
Everybody has, uh,
come up tonight and said it.
But I'm gonna say it too,
and we're gonna say it
Thanks to the first responders.
For putting their lives
on the line.
Play a little something
we thought
was appropriate for the evening.
["Going to California"
by Led Zeppelin]
Spent my days
with a woman unkind
Smoked my stuff and drank
all my wine
Made up my mind
to make a new start
Gone to California
with an aching in my heart
Someone told me
there's a girl out there
With love in her eyes,
flowers in her hair
Took my chances
on a big jet plane
Never let them tell you that
they're all, all the same
The sea was red
and the sky was grey
Wondered how tomorrow
Could ever follow today
Mountains and the canyon
start to tremble and shake
As the children of the sun
began to awake
Watch out
Seems like a red, but the
Gods got a punch in the nose
And it's starting to blow
I think I might be sinking
Throw me a line
If I reach it in time,
I'll meet you up there
Where the path runs
straight and high
To find a queen
without a king
They say she plays guitar
and cries and sings
Oh, la, la, la, la, la
Ride a white mare
in the footsteps of dawn
Trying to find a woman
Never, never, never
been born
Standing on a hill
in my mountain of dreams
Telling myself
it's not as hard,
Hard, hard as it seems
Thank you, thank you.
Here, joining Aaron Dessner,
is Gracie Abrams.
["I Love You, I'm Sorry"
by Gracie Abrams]
Two August ago,
I told the truth of you
You didn't like it,
you went home
You're in your Benz,
I'm by the gate
And now you go alone
Charm all the people
You trained for you mean well
but aim low
And I'll make it known
Like I'm getting paid
And that's just the way
life goes
I like to slam
Doors close
Trust me, I know
It's always about me
I love you
I'm sorry
Two summers for now
We'll have been talking but
not all that often
We're cool now
I'll be on a boat
You're on a plane
Going somewhere sane
And I'll have a drink
Whistfully lean out
my window
And watch the sunset
on the lake
I might not feel real
But it's okay
That's just the way
life goes
I push my luck
It shows
Thankful you don't
send someone to kill me
I love you
I'm sorry
You were the best
But you were the worst
As sick as it sounds
I loved you first
I was a dick
It is what it is
A habit to kick,
the age old curse
I tend to laugh whenever
I'm sad
Stare at the crash
Actually works
Making amends
It never ends
I'm wrong again
Wrong again
The way
Joyriding down our road
Lie on the horn
to prove that it haunts me
I love you
I'm sorry
The way life goes
I wanna speak in code
Hope that I don't,
won't make it about me
I love you
I'm sorry
Thank you so much, LA.
How you doing?
We feel so lucky to be in this
room with all of you tonight.
I just want to say
I grew up in the Palisades
and my heart is with all of my
neighbors
and everyone in Altadena.
And we're just so
deeply blown away
by and grateful for all
the first responders and
all the firefighters who
have put their lives on the line
to protect all of us.
And I think that this
is just such a
beautiful reflection of what
music does is bring people
together in this way.
And I'm just inspired by
all of you in this community.
And I love
Los Angeles very much.
It is home. So we feel very
lucky to be here with you.
And this next song is
a song by Counting Crows
and it's a love letter to LA.
It's called A Long December.
["A Long December"
by Counting Crows]
A Long December
And there's reason
to believe
Maybe this year
will be better than the last
I can't remember
the last thing
That you said
as you were leavin'
Now the days go by so fast
And it's one more day
up in the canyon
And it's one more night
in Hollywood
And if you think that
I could be forgiven
I wish you would
Na na na na na
na na na na na
The smell of hospitals
in winter
And the feeling that it's all
a lot of oysters
And no pearls
And all at once you look
across a crowded room
To see the way
That light attaches to a girl
And it's one more day
up in the canyon
And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think you might come
to California, I think you should
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na
Drove up to Hillside Manor
sometime after two a.m.
And talked a little while
about the year
I guess the winter makes you laugh
a little slower,
Makes you talk a little lower
about the things you could not show her
And it's been a long December
and there's reason to believe maybe
this year will be better
than the last
I can't remember all the times
I tried to tell myself
to hold on to these moments
as they pass
And it's one more day up in the canyon
And it's one more night in Hollywood
It's been so long
since I've seen the ocean
I guess I should
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na
Thank you so much LA.
We love you.
You can't have a concert for SoCal
without this band.
No Doubt.
Los Angeles!
Fire Aid 2025!
You looking at me.
I said are you looking at me.
["Just A Girl" by No Doubt]
Take this pink ribbon off my eyes
I'm exposed And it's no big surprise
Don't you think I know
exactly where I stay?
This world
is forcing me to hold your hand
'Cause I'm just a girl,
oh little ol' me
Don't let me out of your sight
Oh I'm just a girl,
all pretty and petite
So don't let me have any rights Oh...
I've had it up to here!
The moment that I step outside
So many reasons
for me to run and hide
I can't do the little things
I hold so dear
Cause it's all those
little things that I fear
But I'm just a girl
I'd rather not be
'Cause they won't let me drive
Late at night
Oh I'm just a girl,
Guess I'm some kind of freak
'Cause they all sit and stare
With their eyes
Oh I'm just a girl,
Take a good look at me
Just your typical prototype
Oh...
I've had it up to here!
Let's go.
Here we go here we go.
Oh... am I making myself clear?
Am I making myself clear?
I'm just a girl
I'm just a girl
We love Los Angeles!
We love you, LA!
Alright, I was thinking.
I was thinking.
Because we love LA so much.
I thought that tonight I could have all
the guys, all the LA boys sing with me.
Can we do that tonight?
Tony!
Can we do that tonight?
Alright, here we go.
Just boys. Just boys.
Are you ready?
I'm just a girl!
[audience]
I'm just a girl
Was that good?
Let's try it one more time.
I'm just a girl
[audience] I'm just a girl
I'm just a girl
I'm just a girl
That's pretty good, that's LA good.
Pretty good.
But for boys.
Where are my LA girls at?
Where are my LA girls at?
Let's do this.
I want my ears to bleed, okay?
I'm just a girl
[audience] I'm just a girl!
- I'm just a girl!
- [audience] I'm just a girl!
I'm just a girl in LA
Cause they won't let me.
Oh I'm just a girl, living in captivity
Your rule of thumb makes me worry some
Woh I'm just a girl, what's my destiny?
What I've succumbed to is making me numb
Oh I'm just a girl, my apologies
What I've become is so burdensome
Oh I'm just a girl, lucky me
Twiddle dum there's no comparison
No way here we go
Oh...
I've had it up to
Oh...
I've had it up to
Oh oh oh oh oh...
I've had it up to here
["Don't Speak" by No Doubt]
You and me, we used to be together
Every day together, always
I really feel that
I'm losing my best friend
I can't believe this could be the end
It looks as though you're lettin' go
And if it's real,
well, I don't want to know
Don't speak
I know just what you're sayin'
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
And I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Oh, memories,
they can be inviting
But some are altogether
mighty frightening
As we die, both you and I
With my head in my hands,
I sit and cry
Oh, oh, oh
Don't speak.
I know just what you're sayin'
So please stop explaining.
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
No, no, no, no
Don't speak
And I know what you're thinking
And I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
It's all ending
We gotta stop pretending who we are
You and me I can see us dyin'
Aren't we?
Don't speak,
I know just what you're sayin'
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Don't speak
I know what you're thinkin'
And I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
I know what you're sayin'
So please stop explainin'
Don't speak, don't speak
Don't speak, no
I know what you're thinkin'
And I don't need your reasons
I know you good, I know you good
I know you real good, oh
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
Don't, don't, ooh, ooh
Hush, hush, darling
Hush, hush
Hush, hush
Don't tell me 'cause it
It hurts
Get your hands up.
In the air.
Los Angeles get your hands up in the air.
["Spiderwebs" by No Doubt]
You think that we connect
That the chemistry's correct
Your words walk right through my ears
Presuming I like what I hear
And now I'm stuck in the
The web you're spinning
You got me for your prey...
Come on!
Sorry I'm not home right now
I'm walking into spiderwebs
So leave a message
And I'll call you back
A likely story, but leave a message
And I'll call you back
Come on
And you're intruding on what's mine
I mean, you're taking up my time
Don't let the courage inside me...
to tell you, please let me in
Communication
A telephonic invasion
I'm planning my escape
Sorry I'm not home right now
I'm walking into spiderwebs
So leave a message
And I'll call you back
A likely story
But leave a message
and I'll call you back
And it's all your fault
I screen my phone calls
No matter who calls
I gotta screen my phone calls
It's real fun.
It's all about love tonight, you guys.
And we love you so much, Los Angeles.
Look at us all coming together.
All right, you gonna sing with me?
You ready to sing with me?
Here we go.
Now, it's gone too deep
And you wake me in my sleep
In my dreams become nightmares
Because you're ringing in my ears
Sorry I'm not home right now
I'm walking into spiderwebs
So leave a message
and I'll call you back
A likely story, but leave a message
and I'll call you back
And it's all your fault
I screen my phone calls
No matter matter matter matter
who calls I gotta screen my phone calls
Ooh spiderwebs
Leave a message and I'll call you back
I'm walking into spiderwebs
So leave a message
and I'll call you back
It's all your fault
No matter matter matter who calls
I gotta screen my phone calls
It's all your
Los Angeles, California put your hands up!
In the air.
Let's go.
Look how beautiful you are.
No matter who calls
I gotta screen my phone calls
It's all your fault
It's all your fault
The nation's second-largest school
district is dealing with damage.
A dozen schools have been destroyed
in the Palisades and Eaton fires.
Kids cannot go to school.
Kids, and grown-ups,
they don't have anywhere to live.
Now thousands of children
across the burn zones are waiting to hear
about when they can return to class.
The principal said maybe Thursday.
Because they still have to clear it,
I guess.
- And what grade are you in?
- Fifth.
I was born and raised in Altadena and
pretty much everything got burned down.
I lost all my Legos, my braille stuff,
a computer, a keyboard.
I don't really miss anything I lost.
I just miss where we lived.
- We have a nice home, huh?
- Yeah.
Make you think of it, huh?
That was our home
for the ten years that I've been alive.
It's going to be kind of hard
for someone like me to learn a new house.
I can hear better
than anyone I know, I think.
Because I can hear a siren
from farther away than anyone I know can.
I'm kind of excited
for our park to get rebuilt.
Me and my mom went there like almost
every day to ride my bike or my scooter.
I love helping people.
Everyone comes together in situations
like this and works together.
I just hope that we can build
our community bigger and better.
Hello Los Angeles.
I'm Grayson and this is my mom. Terica.
I'm so excited
to be here with y'all tonight.
And I want to thank all the artists
jumping in to help.
The fire took a lot.
But as I told everyone when we were
staying at my uncle's,
when life gives you lemons
or burnt houses,
you make lemonade.
To the people of Altadena,
we will come back stronger.
Get ready everybody.
I'm excited to introduce Tate McRae.
["You Broke Me First" by Tate McRae]
Maybe you don't like talking
too much about yourself
But you should've told me that you were
thinking 'bout someone else
You're drunk at a party or maybe
it's just that your car broke down
Your phone's been off for
a couple months, you're calling me now
I know you, you're like this
When shit don't go your way,
you're needing me to fix it
And like me, I did
But I've ran out of every reason
Now, suddenly
you're asking for it back
Could you tell me,
where'd you get the nerve?
Yeah, you could say
you missed all that we had
But I don't really care
how bad it hurts when you broke me
When you broke me first
Took a while,
was in denial when I first heard
That you moved on quicker
than I could ever
You know that hurt
Swear for a while I would stare
at my phone just to see your name
But now that's there,
I don't really know what to say
I know you, you're like this
When shit don't go your way,
you need me to fix it
And like me, I did.
But I've ran out of every reason
Now, suddenly
you're asking for it back
Could you tell me,
where'd you get the nerve?
Yeah, you could say
you miss all that we had
But I don't really care how bad it hurts
when you broke me first
You broke me first
What did you think would happen?
What did you think would happen?
I'll never let you have it
What did you think would happen?
Now, suddenly
you're asking for it back
Could you tell me,
where'd you get the nerve?
Yeah, you could say
you missed all that we had
But I don't really care
how bad it hurts when you broke me
When you broke me first
When you broke me first
You broke me first
Hi everyone I'm name is Tate
So, nice to meet you guys.
This is an absolute honor
to preform here tonight.
I moved to Los Angeles four years ago.
With a dream to become a musican.
And um...
I feel so lucky and blessed now to call it
my home.
Um, it's been a really
devastating start of the year.
But I think we can all agree on
is how much we come together
has been a magical thing to watch.
And I'm so grateful
to just be a part of this.
And for every single person
who showed up tonight.
And every artist who performed.
So, thank you.
We are now going to sing a cover
of Don't Dream It's Over.
["Don't Dream It's Over"
by Crowded House]
There is freedom within
There is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There is a battle ahead
Many battles have lost
But you'll never see
the end of the road
Traveling with me
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come
They come
To build a wall between us
Who know they won't win
Now I'm towing my car
There's a hole in the roof
My possessions
are causing me suspicion
but there's no proof
In the paper today
tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over
to the T.V. page
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come
They come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
Sing it if you know it!
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
I know they won't win
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
They won't win
Hey now, hey now
Build a wall between us
Hey now, hey now
Let's keep it going for Jelly Roll.
Love you guys. Thank you.
I am honored to bring some country music
to the Fire Aid tonight.
What's up Los Angeles?
["I Am Not Okay" by Jelly Roll]
I am not okay
I'm barely getting by
I'm losing track of days
I'm losing sleep at night
And I am not okay
I'm hanging on the rails
So if I say I'm fine, just know that
I learned to hide it well
I know I can't be the only one
Who's holding on for dear life
But God knows, I know
When it's all said and done
I'm not okay,
but it's all gonna be alright
It's not okay,
but we're all gonna be alright
Ain't that right, California?
I woke up today
I almost stayed in bed
I had the devil on my back
And voices in my head
Some days it ain't all bad
Some days it all gets worse
Some days I swear
I'm better off than laying in that dirt
Come on!
I know I can't be the only one
Who's holding on for dear life
God knows,
I know when it's all said and done
I'm not okay,
but it's all gonna be alright
It's not okay,
but we're all gonna be alright
Gonna be alright
We're gonna be alright
Listen to me.
I know one day
we'll see the other side
The pain will wash away
in a holy water time
We're all gonna be alright
Come on, rock with me!
I know I can't be the only one
Who's holding on for dear life
God knows,
I know when it's all said and done
I see you.
I'm not okay,
but it's all gonna be alright
It's not okay,
but we're all gonna be alright
I'm not okay
It's all gonna be alright
Yes!
My name is Jason Jelly Roll Dee Ford.
I am from Nashville, Tennessee
and it is an honor to be here tonight.
But I think it's important
while I'm on this stage
that I sing one of my favorite songs
by one of my favorite songwriters about
one of my favorite cities in America.
But it would only be right
if I did it with somebody
from Los Angeles, California.
So I would like to bring my big brother,
Mr. Travis Barker
out to play the drums tonight.
Travis, what you say?
We play a little song for them
Hollywood nights, baby!
["Hollywood Nights" by Hollywood Nights]
She stood there bright as the sun
on that California coast
He was a midwestern boy on his own
She looked at him with those soft eyes
so innocent and blue
He knew right there
he was too far from home
Oh, yes, I am, baby!
Woo!
She took his head and she led
him along that golden beach
They watched the waves
come a little over the sand
They drove for miles and miles
up those twisted turning roads
Higher and higher
and higher they climbed
You know this?
In those Hollywood nights,
In those Hollywood hills
She was looking so right
In her diamonds and frills
Oh those big city nights
In those high rolling hills
Above all the lights
She had all of her skills
He'd headed west cause he felt
that a change would do him good
Y'all know what I'm talking about.
See some old friends,
it'd be good for the soul
She had been born with a face
that would let her get away
He lost that face and he
lost all control
He had lost all control
Night after night, day after day,
it went on and on
Then came that morning
he woke up alone
He spent all night staring
down at the lights on LA
Wondering if he could ever go home
No, I'm not baby
And those Hollywood nights
In those Hollywood hills
She was looking so right
It was giving him chills
In those big city nights
In those high rolling hills
Above all the lights
With a passion that kills
In those Hollywood nights
In those Hollywood hills
In those Hollywood nights
[repeat] Come on
In those Hollywood nights [repeat]
In those Hollywood nights
One of the greatest ever
to do it, Travis Barker.
We love you Los Angeles.
She is LA Rock Royalty!
And one of my favorite
artists of all time!
Stevie Nicks!
["Stand Back" by Stevie Nicks]
No one looked as I walked by
Just an invitation
would have been just fine
Said no to him again and again
First he took my heart then he ran
No one knows how I feel
What I say unless you
read between my lines
One man walked away from me
First he took my hand he said take it
Stand back stand back
In the middle of my room,
I did not hear from you
It's alright, it's alright
To be standing in a line
To be standing in a line
I would
La, la, lala, la
Do not turn away my friend
Like a willow I can bend
No man calls my name
No man came
So I walked on down away from you
Maybe your attention was more
Than I could do
One man did not call
He asked me for my love
He said take it
Stand back stand back
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you
It's alright it's alright
To be standing in a line
To be standing in a line
I would
So I walked on down the
line away from you
Maybe my attention was more
than I could do
One man did not call
well he asked me for too much
He said, take it
Stand back, stand back
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you
It's alright it's alright
To be standing in a line
To be standing in a line
I would
I feel like I need a little sympathy
I feel like I need a little sympathy
I feel like I need a little sympathy,
baby
I'm just standing there
To be standing there
To be standing there
Take me home
Why don't you just take me home
Why don't you just take me home
Just standing there
Just standing there
Just standing there
Stand back
Stand back
Thank you.
I've been on the road for two solid years,
and I've just been off
for about three or four weeks,
right before the fire started.
I love you!
Thank you. I love you, too.
And I'm going to go a little bit
rogue here and actually talk
to you about what happened.
I have something here that I have to read
because it's important, but I want you
to know, for the first time in my life,
knowing that I was a full on Pacific
Palisadean woman
with an old, beautiful, famous house
that was almost taken from me as a fire
came up the hill behind my house.
And I was pretty sure, as they whisked
me away, and evacuated me, my least
favorite word now, to another safe place,
that when I turned around and looked,
my house would be up in flames.
And due to the fact that my house
was wood, because it was built in 38,
it would have set the rest
of the whole street on both sides on fire.
So, she stands strong, just like her mom.
And in my opinion,
she saved that whole street.
And so, when I look at her now,
I have yet to go back inside.
I've just walked around the house
and seen it.
And just to go like, you know what,
there is a God.
Sometimes when you think that everything
is lost, you have to believe.
Even if you're not religious,
you have to go, there is a God.
And that God saved that house for me,
because without her,
I don't know what I would have done.
So, I wanted to share that story with you.
And now, the reason it got saved is
because it was a team from Santa Rosa, the
Santa Rosa firefighters that saved her.
And they never gave up,
I have to tell you.
Not just on my house, but on the
whole side of the whole mountain canyon
that was coming up towards us.
And so, I'd like to dedicate this
next song to all of those firefighters.
Because until you really see it happen,
you can't believe it.
You just simply cannot believe
the bravery of these men.
Captain Dean, especially.
So, I'd like to dedicate
this song to them.
It's called Landslide.
["Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac]
Took my love and I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection
In the snow covered hills
Till the landslide brought me down
Oh, mirror in the sky,
what is love?
Can the child within my
heart rise above?
Can I sail through
the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons
of my life?
Uh oh, I don't know
Oh, well, I don't know
Well, I've been afraid of changing
Cause I, I built my life around you
Oh, but the time makes you bolder
Children get older
And I'm getting older, too
Yes, I'm getting older, too
So
I've been afraid of changin'
'Cause I've built my life around you
Oh, but time makes you bolder
And the children,
they get older
I'm getting older too
Oh yes, I'm getting older too
So, take this love
Take it down
Oh, if you climb that mountain
and you turn around
If you see my reflection
In the snow covered hills
Well, the landslide
will bring you down, down
And if you see my reflection in the
Snow
Covered hills
Well, the landslide will bring it down
Well, well the landslide
will bring it down
Thank you.
For a girl who lives on the stage,
it's very nerve wracking.
["Edge of Seventeen" by Stevie Nicks]
Just like the white winged dove
Sing the song,
sounds like she's singing
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Just like the white winged dove
Sing the song,
sounds like she's singing
Ooh, ooh, ooh
When the days go by like a strand
in the wind, in the web that is my own
I'll begin again
I said to my friend, baby,
you know nothin' else mattered
He was no more than a baby then
Well he is he brokenhearted?
something within him
Well, but the moment that I first laid
Eyes on him all alone
Just sat on the edge of seventeen
Just like the white winged dove
Sing the song,
sounds like she's singing
- Ooh, ooh, ooh
- Just like the white winged dove
Sing the song,
sounds like she's singing
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Well then suddenly...
there was no one left standing
In the hall well, well
In a flood of tears
That no one really ever heard fall
Oh I went searchin' for an answer
Up the stairs and down the hall
Not to find an answer...
just to hear the call
Of a nightbird
Singing come away come away
Just like the white winged dove
Sing the song,
sounds like she's singing
- Ooh, baby, ooh, say ooh
- Just like the white winged dove
Sing the song,
sounds like she's singing it to y'all
baby, ooh, say ooh
Well I hear you in the morning...
baby, I tell you but I hear it
At nightfall...
sometime to be near you
Is to be unable to hear you
My love I'm a few years
older than you are
I'm a few years older than you
Just like the white winged dove
Sing the song,
sounds like she's singing
Ooh, baby, ooh, say ooh
Just like the white winged dove
Sing the song,
sounds like she's singing
Ooh, baby, ooh, say ooh
I hear the call of a nightbird
I hear the call of a night bird
I still hear the call of a night bird
Oh she said, come away, come away
Come with me now Well, yeah
She said somewhere deep
in the middle of the night, my baby
I'll think about you
She said somewhere deep
in the middle of the night, my baby
I'll think about you
She says I know what it sounds like
I know what it sounds like
I know what it sounds like
Sounds like you,
you, you, you
I know what it sounds like
I know what it sounds like
When doves cry
Thank you everybody.
You have been totally a pleasure
to play for and an awesome audience.
And take care of yourselves
most important.
What I mostly care about
is just really take care of yourselves.
We love you.
I'm just moving,
I don't understand exactly why.
This is easy.
And now, accompanied by the Pasadena
Chorale, from Altadena, my friend, Mrs.
Katy Perry!
["Rise" by Katy Perry]
I won't just survive
Oh, you will see me thrive
Can write my story
I'm beyond the archetype
I won't just conform
No matter how you shake my core
Cause my roots,
they run deep, oh
Oh, you have so little faith
Don't doubt it, don't doubt it
Victory is in my veins
I know it, I know it
And I will not negotiate
I'll fight it
I'll fight it
I will transform
When, when the fires
at my feet again
And the vultures all start circling
They're whispering
- You're out of time, but still I rise
- Rise
This is no mistake, no accident
When you think the final nail is in
Think again
Don't be surprised
I will still rise
Thank you so much to the Pasadena chorale.
California we always rise.
And we always roar,
don't we? Let's go!
["Roar" by Katy Perry] I used
to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and
make a mess, so I sit quietly
Agreed politely I guess it
I forgot I had a choice
I let you push me past a breaking point
I stood for nothing
So I will for everything
You hug me down,
but I got up
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice
You hear that sound
Like thunder gonna shake the ground
You held me down,
but I got up
Get ready 'cause I've had enough
I see it all
I see it now
Sing it!
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion,
and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion,
and you're gonna hear me roar!
Oh, sing it!
You're gonna hear me roar
Now I'm floating like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes
I went from zero,
to my own hero
You held me down,
but I got up
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like running, gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I know
- Get ready 'cause I've had enough
- Oh, shake it up
Sing it
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion,
and you're gonna hear me roar
Oh, louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion
And you're gonna hear me roar!
No no no no no no
You're gonna hear me roar!
No no no no no no
LA!
You're gonna hear
Me roar
Thank you.
You guys.
Thank you so much for having me.
I'm so happy to be here.
To participate
in such an incredible, uplifting event.
Can we keep this energy going forever?
This is what makes us human.
This is what separates
us from the robots.
This is humanity. This is love.
This is kindness.
And I have been so inspired
by how quickly our community organized
to help all of our neighbors in need.
It really reminds me
that the people have the power.
California, you are such a unique state,
and I am so proud.
Are you so proud to be a California girl?
Yes!
Okay, let's go.
Let's show them how proud we are.
["California Gurls" by Katy Perry]
Let's go!
Let's go again.
Let's go!
Let's go.
I know a place, sing it!
- Where the grass is really greener
- That's right.
Warm, wet and wild
There must be something in the water
Sippin' gin and juice
Laying underneath the palm trees
The boys break their necks
Trying to creep a little
sneak peek at us
You could travel the world
But nothing comes close
to the golden coast
Once you party with us
You'll be falling in love
Oh, oh, ohhh
California girls, we're unforgettable
Daisy Dukes, bikinis on top
Sun kissed skin, so hot
- We'll melt your Popsicle
- Oh, oh, ohhh
California girls, we're undeniable
Fine, fresh, fierce, we got it on lock
West coast, represent, now
put your hands up
If you love California,
let's go!
Oh, oh, ohhh California
California girls
California
California girls
California
Thank you, god bless you.
LA we love you.
These dire scenes
are playing out all across L.A.
county, but evidence of resilience
emerges, neighbors uniting in their own
firefight, banding together.
When you see your next door
neighbor's house on fire,
it's really hard not to try to help out.
When the Palisades fire took off,
we fought the fires together.
- I had never met Michael.
- No.
I met Chris, who was a complete stranger,
in front of my house.
I kept on hearing on the news that there
was only one way in and one way out.
I got in my car. I found a house.
It was on fire.
I got a garden hose on it
until the firefighters came up.
My dad's a 35 year veteran fireman,
and I don't know if it was the blood
in him that got to me, but I just wanted
to get over there as quickly as I could.
We found a car that was running,
and we used that as our fire truck.
He was adamant. I was adamant.
We were not letting
this neighborhood go down.
This was something that we were
gonna do, and we were gonna...
We're gonna do it together.
We're gonna do it together.
All night long, going into people's
backyards, putting out ember fires.
Without the two of us together,
I don't think I could have done it solo.
There's a lot of emotion going on.
I mean, we're gonna be
connected forever on this.
Yeah.
We had one night,
and this is not our profession.
So I just... to all the firefighters
and first responders out there,
you're amazing, and thank you
for all the work that you did.
Everybody knows the palaces
as a very tight knit community.
This is part of my soul.
I've been there since I was a little kid.
This community is strong.
It's gonna thrive.
It's gonna come back.

It's not just homes and humans
that are being impacted by these fires,
but also innocent animals.
Right over here you can see
more people coming.
With their horses.
It's not just about protecting
people and property.
Pets also need relief from these fires.
She couldn't get the cat out from under
the bed, so she had to make a choice.
But among the tragic destruction,
there are glimmers of hope and heroism.
Initially, my dad and I had came up
to check on our house and our neighbor's
horse, Sovereignty, helping my neighbors
was definitely important to me.
They helped me a lot in my riding career,
and I was really worried
about Sovereignty.
He's definitely a spooky horse.
The fire was burning everywhere around,
and I was like,
oh, this is not going to be okay.
They had already tried
to evacuate Sovereignty, but they
couldn't get him into the trailer.
He was too scared to get in.
And so, once we were up here,
I knew the only way to get him down was
to ride him down to the canyon to safety.
I think that way.
My dad was kind of skeptical at first.
I didn't think it was a great idea for us
to be driving through all the crazy
terrain, but when Kalinda decides
she's doing something,
there's no telling her no.
Sovereignty was really nervous.
The fire was burning everywhere around.
A lot of telephone poles down, rocks
in the road, traffic coming through really
fast because everybody was getting out.
Every time he got a little spooked, I
hopped down and gave him a little comfort
and we walked him through and then
got back on, walked as far as we could.
And it was kind of like that
the whole time, but I knew
that was the only way to get him down.
We ended up riding Sovereignty 10 miles.
Once I got him to safety, I felt really
relieved that he was going to be safe.
Because stuff can be replaced.
I don't think animals can.
All right, Intuit Dome.
It's time to get on your feet.
For one of hip hop's hottest artists,
Lil Baby!
["So Sorry" by Lil Baby]
- Hands up right now.
- I'm so sorry
Baby, I'm so sorry
- I'm so sorry
- Make some noise for the baby.
I thought you was my friend
I thought we locked in
But that's what I get
Always thinking
You really was my twin
I put all the time in
Been talking to God
I'm trying to shake this thing
Got me telling on your skin
I ain't trying to force it
I'm knowing that all
good things come to an end
I got so many questions
Hope you got the answers
But I just don't know how I should ask
Like what you was doing when I called
And you didn't ask that
I seen the new ribbons on your arm
When you get that from
Why are you always that naked up
on your platform?
He told me he tried
But you ain't going to think I'm back
I'm ready to see me moving on
You think you're bad now
I take advantage of it
I really care for you
I left 10,000 roses on
the stairs for you
Hope you don't slip and fall on my love
Take care of your

Before I go to my next song,
I want to just say my heart goes out
to everybody affected by the fires.
And I want to give a super,
super shout out and a round of applause
to the first responders around the world.
Hey, hands up right now.
You know this at home.

On three.
Right side, left side, in the back.

Trying to forget you
I ain't got nothing against you
We human
We all got issues
But I'm tired of being tired

That part of me didn't die
I see it and I don't act like I'm blind
I'm confident it won't be one of mine
I know emotions come with lies
So I tell the truth all the time
Ain't got no sympathy for no bitch

I'm hopping out Lamborghini's
The youngins turn in my city

My people in them steady trapping

Pay cash and then need post a crib
I can't show nobody where my mama live,

My niece just asked me

And if you want these kind of dreams
it's Californication
It's the edge of the world
in all the western civilization
The sun may rise in the East at least
and settled in a final location
It's understood that
Hollywood sells Californication
Pay your surgeon very well

Marry me girl, be my fairy to the world,
be my very own constellation
A teenage bride with a baby inside
getting high on information
And buy me a star on the boulevard
It's Californication
Space may be the final frontier,
but it's made in a Hollywood basement
And Cobain can you hear the spheres
singing songs off Station To Station?
And Alderaan's not far away,
it's Californication
Born and raised by those who praise,

And tidal waves couldn't save the

A lazy rain am I
The skies refuse to cry

The night is dressed like noon
A sailor spoke to soon
And China's on

Platypus are a few
The secret life of Roo
A personality I never knew
Get it on
My crater weighs a ton
The archers on the run
And no one stands alone behind the sun
It's been a long time
since I made a new friend
Waiting on another black summer to end
It's been a long time
and you never know when
Waiting on another black summer to end

Crack the flaming whip

Riding on a headless horse

["Under the Bridge"
by Red Hot Chili Peppers]
Sometimes I feel like
I don't have a partner
Sometimes I feel like my only friend
Is the city I live in,
the city of angels
Lonely as I am, together we cry
I drive on her streets
because she's my companion
I walk through
her hill because she knows who I am
She sees my good deeds
and she kisses me windy I never worry
Now that is a lie
I don't ever want to feel
like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
I don't ever want to feel
like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
Yeah. Yeah, yeah
It's hard to believe
that there's nobody out there
It's hard to believe
that I'm all alone
At least I have heard of the shit
that she loves me
Lonely as I am, together we cry
I don't ever want to feel
like I did that day
Take me to the place I love,
take me all the way
I don't ever want
to feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way, Yeah
Yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, now, now, now, yeah, yeah
Lonely as I am, together we cry
Is where I drew some blood
I could not get enough
Forgot about my love
I gave my life away
Now, yeah yeah
Oh, yeah, now, now, now, yeah, yeah
Thank you for showing up LA.
Tomorrow and the day after too.
How you guys doing? Good?
Well, I'm Miles Teller. And...
Thank you, guys.
First, I just want to give a shout out.
I know there's a lot
of first responders here tonight.
There's a lot watching at home
so thank you all for keeping us safe.
Thank you.
My wife and I, like so many others living
in the Pacific Palisades, lost our home in
the fires and my heart breaks for everyone
who's been affected across the city.
Truly my heart goes out to all you guys.
And tonight I'm standing next to someone
from the Palisades who has lost a lot
and he's here to share his story with us.
And I actually just found out backstage
that we lived on the same street.
This is my neighbor.
Please meet Chad Comey.
Thanks Miles.
I lived in the Palisades
with my disabled parents.
My dad is blind. My mom's in a wheelchair.
I'm their caregiver.
Our condo had been in the family
since 1974 when my grandparents bought it.
We loved our home.
We were one of the last families
to leave the area.
When it was time to evacuate,
when it was time to evacuate,
I grabbed my neighbor and we carried my
mom down five flights of stairs.
[crowd cheering]
My dad was stubborn and stayed behind.
I was super worried about him.
I couldn't sleep that night.
He couldn't get out because of the heat
and he had to spend the night
in the underground garage.
Thankfully, he survived.
My dad was a special ed teacher
and my parents was a teacher, yeah.
And my parents lived on Social Security.
You know it. You know it.
You're living it too.
Well, we didn't have insurance.
We lost so much.
But we didn't lose everything.
We lost our photographs.
But we didn't lose our family memories.
We lost our house.
But we didn't lose our home.
We lost our residence.
But we didn't lose our resilience.
The Palisades.
This entire city. Los Angeles.
The city I call home. I love you guys.
We will persevere.
Yes, we will.
And I wanted to mention one more thing.
I heard that you are a huge Green Day fan.
Who's not?
And one of the prized possessions
that you lost in the fire was a drumstick
that you caught at one of the concerts.
Yeah.
Well, Green Day's drummer,
Trey Cool, heard about that.
And you know what?
He's got a little surprise for you.
Where's he at? Hey!
[inaudible off mike dialogue]
Everyone, please go to FireAidLA.org
and give what you can.
All of the money raised will go directly
to people who need it now.
And towards long term efforts
to build the communities back.
And help me out with this.
Please join us in welcoming...

["Driver's License" by Olivia Rodrigo]
I got my driver's license last week
Just like we always talked about
Cause you were so excited for me
To finally drive up to your house,
but today I drove through the suburbs
Crying cause you weren't
Cause you're probably
with that blonde girl
You always made me doubt
She's so much older than me
She's everything I'm insecure about
Yet today I drove through the suburbs
Cause how could I ever
love someone else?
And I know we weren't perfect
But I've never felt
this way for no one
And I just can't imagine
how you could be so okay
Now that I'm gone
Guess you didn't mean
what you wrote in that song about me
Cause you said forever
Now I drive alone past your street
And all my friends are tired.
Of hearing how much I miss you,
but I kinda feel sorry for them
Cause they'll never know you
the way that I do
Yet today I drove through the suburbs
And pictured I was driving home to you
And I know you weren't perfect
But I've never felt
this way for no one
And I just can't imagine
how you could be so okay
Now that I'm gone
Guess you didn't mean
what you wrote in that song about me
Cause you said forever
now I drive alone past your street
Red lights, stop signs
I still see your face
In the white cars, front yards
Can't drive past the places
We used to, go to
Cause I still fuckin' love you babe
Whoo, oh!
Sidewalks we crossed
I still hear your voice
In the traffic, we're laughing
Over all the noise
God I'm so blue, know we're through
But I still fuckin' love you babe
I know we weren't perfect
But I've never felt
this way for no one
And I just can't imagine
how you could be
so okay now that I'm gone
Sing it!
Audience: Guess you didn't mean
what you wrote in that song about me
Audience: Cause you said forever
now I drive alone past your street
Yeah you said forever
now I drive alone past your street
Thank you guys so much for having me.
Thank you so much for being here.
It has been so heartbreaking
to witness all of this devastation
in this incredible city.
I love LA so much.
I've lived here my whole life.
I love everybody who lives in LA.
You guys are amazing.
I find this place so beautiful
and so inspiring.
And I've written many songs
about living here in my life.
Like this one. So here it goes.

Car rides to Malibu
Strawberry ice cream,
one spoon for two
And trading jackets
Laughing 'bout how small
it looks on you
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Watching reruns of Glee
Being annoying Singing in harmony
I'll bet she's bragging to all your
friends saying you're so unique
So when you gonna tell her
that we did that, too?
She thinks it's special
But it's all reused
that was our place I found it first
I made the jokes you tell her
when she's with you
Do you get deja vu
when she's with you? You
Do you get deja vu? Ah
Do you get deja vu? Ahh
Do you call her
Almost say my name?
'Cause let's be honest
We kinda do sound the same
Another actress
I hate to think that
I was just your type
I'll bet that she knows Billy Joel
Cause you played her uptown girl.
You're singing it together
Now I bet you even tell her
How you love her
In between the chorus and the verse
So when you're gonna tell her.
That we did that, too?
She thinks it's special,
but it's all reused
That was the show we talked about
Played you the song
She's singing now
When she's with you
Do you get deja vu?
When she's with you, you
Do you get deja vu? Ah
Do you get deja vu?
Come on!
Strawberry ice cream in Malibu
Don't act like
we didn't do that shit too
You're trading jackets

who taught you Billy Joel
A different girl now,
but there's nothing new
I know you get deja vu
Everyone on this side!
Are you gonna sing this part with me?
Can you sing it? Sing it!

How can you say
that you're not responsible?
What does it have to do with me?
What is my reaction, what should it be?
Confronted by this latest atrocity
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Hide my face in my hands,
shame wells in my throat
My comfortable existence is reduced
to a shallow meaningless party
Seems that when some innocent die
All we can offer them is a page
in a some magazine
Too many cameras and not enough food
'Cos this is what we've seen
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Protest is futile,
nothing seems to get through
What's to become of our world
Who knows what to do?
How can you say
that you're not responsible?
What does it have to do with me?
What is my reaction?
What should it be?
Confronted by this latest atrocity
Driven to tears Driven to tears
Driven to tears Driven to tears
Driven to tears Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Yeah...
["Fragile" by Sting]
If blood will flow
When flesh and steel are one
Drying in the color
of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain
Will wash the stains away
But something in our mind
will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch our lifetime's argument
That nothing come from violence
And nothing ever could
For all those born
beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are
We'll fall
On and on the rain
We'll fall
Like tears from the storm
Like tears from the storm
On and on the rain
will say how fragile we are
How fragile we are
Like tears from the storm
On and on the rain
We'll fall
Like tears from the storm
On and on the rain
We'll sing
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
Good night LA, thank you.
[crowd cheers]
The raw emotion of coming back to nothing.
In Altadena,
thousands more families homeless.
That's where I live, and I have nothing.
But with the shoes I have on,
everything is gone.
I'll be okay.
Even though I'm 91 years old,
I'll start over again.
The day after the fire,
we drove up towards my grandma's house.
And as we sort of turned down her street,
we saw what was left of her house,
which was just a chimney.
My grandmother's recently been
diagnosed with Alzheimer's.
It's been very, very difficult for her
to adjust to a new setting.
She's asking, when can I go home?
And I know that none of this
makes any sense to her.
I'll hear her just whispering, praying,
and just hoping for some sort of semblance
of peace, normalcy, and understanding.
The community has rallied around itself
in a way that is, it's just so beautiful.
People who I haven't spoken to since maybe
like high school, since middle school,
are checking in with me about my family
and helping in any way they can.
Whether it's dropping off water bottles
or some pajamas for my grandmother,
so like, she can feel a little bit
more comfortable in a strange bed.
LA has shown up for the community.
All of these people are able to set
aside their differences and look
at the other person and say, are you okay?
What do you need?
I believe that this is what people can be
for each other, should be for each other.
And I would just encourage us
to remember how it feels to show up
for our community in this way.
And make it our mission
and effort to do that every day.
And next up, we have one
of the biggest names in Latin music.
Peso Pluma.
["La Bebe" By Peso Pluma]
In Spanish:
Latinos from Los Angeles!
[singing in Spanish]
In Spanish:
Thank You L.A. and all my Latinos!
[crowd cheering]
The devastating fires
are leaving families without homes,
jobs, and necessities.
But an incredible wave of kindness
is bringing hope.
There are firefighters from Mexico
and Canada
on the ground to lend their support.
North Texans are answering
California's call for help.
As a wildfire disaster deepens,
the City of Angels living up to its name.
I'm a primary care physician, board
certified to see pediatrics and adults.
And so the idea was to open up a physical
space where people could walk in if they
needed a refill of a medication or they
wanted to be evaluated for respiratory
conditions that have worsened through the
fires or just had general health questions
about what they could do
to keep themselves
safe and healthy as the city clears,
as the smoke clears, and as we all kind
of rebuild our health and our communities.
I am so grateful to be of service
to so many people because our city just
really needs support right now and that's
the beautiful thing that's happening.
The people that are coming together
right now from every direction, um.
I'm going to cry
because it really affected me.
People, I know.
But there's a lot of people
that don't know anyone that was affected
and they care too.
And I think that's the most
important thing is that everyone's
coming together right now.
We don't need to be superheroes.
We don't need to save the world.
But a bunch of small acts
of kindness really add up.
We're going to be able to rebuild
and stay together as a community.
Seeing the people fight for everything
that we have built and banded together
to keep it going and not watch it burn.
That's why we're strong.
As long as we stay together,
I think we're going to be okay.
From the first moment I heard her
exquisite voice, I became a devotee.
Here she is with her brother,
Finneas LA's very own Billie Eilish
[crowd cheering]
What's going on?
Hi, guys.
Thanks for being here.
Thank you for having me.
I feel very lucky to be here.
This is my brother.
Turn me up.
We're going to do
some little acoustic songs.
So they'll be pretty quiet and chill.
So if you want to sit
or whatever, you can.
- Audience Member: No.
- No, okay. Ready?
["Wildflower" by Billie Eilish]
Things fall apart
And time breaks your heart
I wasn't there, but I know
She was your girl
You showed her the world
But fell out of love
and you both let go
She was cryin' on my shoulder
All I could do was hold her
Only made us closer until July
Now I know that you love me
You don't need to remind me I should
Put it all behind me, shouldn't I?
But I see her in the back of my mind
All the time
Like a fever
like I'm burning alive, like the sun
Hmm
Did I cross the line?
Well, good things don't last
And life moves so fast
I'd never ask who was better
'Cause she couldn't be
more different from me
Happy and free in leather
And I know that you love me
You don't need to remind me
Wanna put it all behind me
Baby, I see her
In the back of my mind
All the time
Feels like a fever, like I'm
Burning alive, like the sun
I cross the line
[vocalizing]
[vocalizing]
[vocalizing]
Remember
Do you see her
in the back of your mind
In my eyes?
[humming tune]
You say no one knows you so well
But every time you touch me
I just wonder how she felt
Valentine's day crying in the hotel
I know you didn't mean to hurt me
so I kept it to myself
[crowd cheering]
I love you.
Thank you for being so sweet.
[giggle]
I feel very honored
to be on this stage tonight.
[clearing throat]

["The Greatest" by Billie Eilish]
[high-pitched scream]
In trying my best
To keep you satisfied
And let you get your rest
While I stayed up all night

And you don't want to know
How alone I've been
Let you come and go
[sobbing]
Whatever state I'm in
[harmonizing]
Man am I the greatest
My congratulations
All my love and patience
All my admiration
All the times I waited
For you to want me naked
I made it all look painless
Man, am I the greatest

Doing what's right
Without a reward

And we don't have to fight

And you don't wanna know
Just what I would've done
Anything at all
Worse than anyone

For you to want me naked
I made it all look painless

I, I loved you
And I still do
Just wanted passion from you
Just wanted what I gave you
And I waited
And waited
Man, am I the greatest
God, I hate it
All my love and patience
Unappreciated
You said your heart was jaded
You couldn't even break it
I shouldn't have to say it
You could've been the greatest
Thank you.
Um, well,
I just, I love you all so much.
And I,
It's really nice to be here tonight.
And just, it just feels all really,
like, hopeful and good in here.
And I just appreciate all of you.
And I just feel honored to be here.
And I, it's a really, really scary time.
And it's been so devastating.
And LA is, like, my favorite place
in the world and my only home.
And I've, uh, my brother and I, you know,
grew up here and live here.
And it's the greatest place in the world.
And I care about it so much.
And it's just been so, so, so,
so devastating what's going on.
Um, so, so, to everyone
who is experiencing this.
I love you. And I got you.
And we will not forget about you.
And we're gonna keep doing this for you.
Um, anyway.
Thank you for having us.
And this is the last one.
It's called Birds of a Feather.
["birds of a feather" by Billie Eilish]
[humming tune]
[singing]
I want you to stay
[crowd murmuring]
Until I'm in the grave
[audience member] I love you!
Until I rot away, dead and buried
Until I'm in the casket you carry
If you go, I'm going too
Cause it was always you
All right
And if I'm turning blue,
please don't save me
Nothing left to lose without my baby
Birds of a feather
We should stick together
I know
I said I'd never think
I wasn't better alone
Can't change the weather
Might not be forever
But if it's forever, it's even better
And I don't know what I'm crying for
I don't think I could love you more
Might not be long. But baby, I...
I love you till the day that I die
Until the day that I die
Till the light leaves my eyes
Until the day that I die
I want you to see
[speaking]
Just how you look to me
You wouldn't believe if I told you
You would keep
the compliments I throw you
But you're so full of shit
[singing]
Tell me it's a bit
No one would say you don't see it
Your mind's polluted
Say you wanna quit
Don't be stupid
And I don't know what I'm cryin' for
I don't think I could love you more
It might not be long, but baby,
I don't wanna say goodbye
Birds of a feather
We should stick together
I know I said I'd never
Think I wasn't better alone
Can't change the weather
Might not be forever
But if it's forever,
it's even better
And I...
I knew you in another life
You had that same look in your eyes
I love you
Don't act so surprised
[humming]
Thank you so much.
This is my brother, Finneas, by the way.
I love you, Los Angeles.
I will always fight for you.
I love you.
Thank you.
LA will be rebuilt.
For sure.
Right now,
we're responding to the emergency.
But then comes the reconstruction.
When we see people who have lost their
homes, lost their jobs, their business,
this is when we come together.
It's been a pouring of love.
Being able to see the city
come together and help each other.
You know they're not alone.
LA is strong
because it's a very resilient,
not just city, but also community.
This is a moment in time that we're going
to remember in our city's history.
All of the first and now second responders
coming and utilizing every skill that
they have with precision, with urgency,
in the name of love for Los Angeles.
People are here
because they want to be here.
Regardless of whether they were born
or raised here, LA is their home.
And we're really good about coming
together when people need help.
I feel like we cut from a different cloth.
Like Kendrick said, you know, Snoop said,
like, we all got our definitions
of the cloth, but like, it's cut from LA.
You always treat people
how you want to be treated.
We all need help sometimes.
And it's good to know that there
are people who will have your back.
I can tell you I'm grateful.
And that LA, there's love here.
When we're able to work shoulder to
shoulder, I don't think there's anything
that LA can't handle or do.
And we will rebuild in new beautiful ways
whenever things like this may happen.
Please give it up for one of the greatest
artists of all time, Stevie Wonder!
I thank you.
For allowing me to be a part of us giving.
In this world today,
we have no time for blaming.
We have no time for shaming.
We need to have prayer and come together
as a united people of the world.
[audience clapping]
It breaks my heart for those that have
lost, not only those who have lost their,
some who have lost their lives.
So we need to pray and thank God
for those who are alive and pray for those
who have lost that we will allow, with
our giving, to help them to get themselves
back on their feet again.
I love you and I thank God for giving
me the gift of song to sing to you.
I want to sing a song that I wrote.
It's still so relevant.
Love's in need of love today.
[audience clapping]

Holy shit.
Hi, I'm Olivia Rodrigo.
Have you had a good night?
How can you not have had a good night?
I mean, Stevie and Flea and Sting,
three guys with one
name apiece are here.
I mean, we needed a good night.
We had a lot of bad nights, but here we
are sharing love and music and probably
The Norovirus, but I think it's worth it.
This is what a magical show.
What an incredible night.
Thank you to all the artists
who volunteered their time
and talent to lift us up
Thanks to the Azov family
for making this happen.
Thanks to Steve Ballmer
for opening his dome to us
And thanks to those of you
watching around the world
This city,
for all the things they say about us,
when Hurricane Harvey hit,
we were there.
When Katrina devastated New Orleans,
we were there.
When Hurricane Maria
ravaged Puerto Rico, we were there.
The people in this city,
many of the people in this room,
Helped to raise more than $200 million
for other cities hit by natural disasters.
And now we are helping our own.
So many people I know.
So many of you, even some of the people
who were on stage tonight,
lost their homes, lost everything.
And when you did, we wrapped our arms
around each other immediately,
all across Los Angeles, from
Malibu to the Pacific
Palisades to Altadena
Warehouses are filled with more
donations than most of the centers
could even handle.
To this day, in a lot of places,
they have too many volunteers.
They have to turn them away.
This is a tragedy
that hurt everyone who lives here,
and it will continue to hurt
for many years.
But it's also brought us
much closer together.
And I am very grateful,
especially for our firefighters.
If you're here, please raise your hands
and show yourselves.
Thanks to our firefighters from here
in LA, from all over the country,
from Canada and Mexico
and our friends around the world.
Thanks to the rescue workers,
the first responders.
Raise your hands to the prisoners
who risked their lives for $10 a day.
Thanks to the volunteers and the chefs
and the teachers and artists
and store owners and charities
who've been doing everything they can.
I also want to thank you for being here
tonight and for being there tomorrow, too.
This isn't over. We need you.
We need your help.
Please make a donation to FireAidLA.org.
100% of the money goes to short term
relief and long term efforts to rebuild.
Thank you.
And now to close out this beautiful night,
to heal us with her spirit and her talent,
Please give a big, warm, sloppy L.A
welcome to Lady Gaga.
[crowd cheering]
I love you so much.
I love you so much.
Thank you so much for having me tonight.
All right, let's do this.
["Shallow" by Lady Gaga]
Tell me something, girl
[cheering]
Are you happy in this modern world?
Or do you need more?
Is there something else
you're searching for?
I'm falling
In all the good times,
I find myself
Longing for change
And in the bad times,
I fear myself
Tell me something, boy
Aren't you tired
tryin' to fill that void
Oh, do you need more?
Ain't it hard? Keepin' it so hardcore
I'm falling
In all the good times, I find myself
Longing for change
And in the bad times, I fear myself
I'm off the deep end
Watch as I dive in
I'll never meet the ground
Crash through the surface
where they can't hurt us
We're far from the shallow now
In the shallow, shallow
In the shallow, shallow
In the shallow, shallow
We're far from the shallow now
Oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
I'm off the deep end
Watch as I dive in
I'll never meet the ground
Crash through the surface
Where they can't hurt us
We're far from the shallow now
In the shallow, shallow
In the shallow, shallow
In the shallow, shallow
We're far from the shallow now
[crowd cheering]
Thank you.
Thank you. I love you.
This has been a horrible, scary time.
But during these times,
I feel like people come together
and we see how much we need each other.
And I want to always remember us
just like this.
["Always Remember Us This Way"
by Lady Gaga]
That California sky
Burning in your eyes
You look at me
and know this fear in my desire
It's buried in my soul
Like California gold
You found the light in me
that I couldn't find
So when I'm all choked up
and I can't find the words
Every time we say goodbye,
baby, it hurts
When the sun goes down
And the band won't play
I'll always remember us this way
Come on.
Lovers in the night
Poets tryin' to write
We don't know how to rhyme
but damn we try
But all I really know is
You're where I want to go
The part of me that you will never die
So when I'm all choked up
and I can't find the words
Every time we say goodbye,
baby, it hurts
When the sun goes down
And the band won't play
I'll always remember us this way
I don't wanna be just a memory,
baby yeah
So when I'm all choked up
and I can't find the words
Every time we say goodbye,
baby it hurts
When the sun goes down
And the band won't play
I'll always remember us this way
Way
When you look at me
And the whole world fades
I'll always remember us
This way
[humming tune]
Alright.
When I was thinking about
what to sing tonight, I thought I wanted
to do something hopeful for you
And I was thinking about my songs
and there wasn't anything
that seemed quite right.
So me and my friend Michael,
my fiance, my love,
we wrote this song for you.
It's just for tonight. It's just for you.
I think we all need
a lot of things right now.
But I think something
we may also need is time.
Time is a healer.
Come on, listen to the words I say
I love you, baby, babe
I love you, baby, babe
You've been putting up
with hard hard days
Don't worry, baby, babe
Don't worry, baby, babe
Wish god could find a different way
to remind me what's it like to pray
Wish that I could
turn the storm around
If I can, I'll find a different way
All I need is time
All I need is time
All I need is time
To heal my broken wings
and then I'll soar
All I need is time
To leave it all behind
All I need is time
to leave it all behind
I keep moving forward
All the hurt is keeping you too tough
I know it, baby, babe
I know it, baby, babe
You're so empty you fill your cup
Don't worry, baby, babe
Don't worry, baby, babe
Wish that God
could find a different way
To remind me what it's like to pray
Wish that I could
turn the storm around
If I can, I'll find a different way
All I need is time
All I need is time
All I need is time to heal my broken
wings and then I'll soar
I love you, California.
All I need is time
To leave it all behind
All I need is time
To leave it all behind
Keep moving forward
Wish that God
could find a different way
To remind me what it's like to pray
Wish that I could
turn the storm around
If I can, I'll find a different way
All I need is time
All I need is time
All I need is time
to heal my broken wings
And then I'll soar
All I need is time
And then I'll leave it all behind
All I need is time
to leave it all behind
And keep moving forward
All I need is time
All I need is time
All I need is time
to heal my broken wings
And then I'll soar
All I need is time
To leave it all behind
All I need is time
to leave it all behind
We'll keep moving forward

I love you so much!
Get home safely I love you.

I'm like a child looking
off in the horizon
I'm like an ambulance
that's turning on the sirens
Oh, oh, oh.
Oh, I'm still alive
I'm like a soldier coming
home for the first time
I dodged a bullet
and I walked across a landmine
Oh, oh, oh.
I'm still alive
Am I bleeding?
Am I bleeding from the storm?
Just shine a line.
Into the wreckage so far away
Cause I'm still breathing
Cause I'm still breathing on my own.
My head's above the rain and roses
Making my way, my way.
Cause I'm still breathing
Cause I'm still breathing on my own
My head's above the rain and roses.

tying off for the last time
I'm like a loser

that was raised without a father
I'm like a mother
barely keeping it together
Oh, oh I'm still alive
Am I bleeding?
Am I bleeding from the storm?
Just shine a light into the wreckage
So far away.
Cause I'm still breathing
Cause I'm still breathing on my own
My head's above the rain and roses.
Making my way away away

Cause I'm still breathing on my own
My head's above the rain and roses.
Making my way away

Are you scared to death to live?
I've been running all my life
Just to find a home

["When I Come Around" playing]
I heard you crying loud
All the way across town
You've been searching for that someone
and it's me out on the prowl
As you sit around
feeling sorry for yourself
Well, don't get lonely now
And dry your whining eyes
I'm just roaming for the moment
Sleazing my backyard,
so don't get so uptight
You've been thinking about ditching me
No time to search the world around
Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around,
I've heard it all before
So don't knock down my door
I'm a loser and a user
so I don't need no accuser
To try and slag me down
because I know your right
So go do what you like
Make you sure you do it wise
You may find out that your self doubt.
Means nothing was ever there
You can't go forcing...
Hey everybody get your
hands up in the air.
No time to search the world around
Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around
No time to search the world around
Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around
California.
Los Angeles.
Altadena.
The Palisades we are in this together.
[crowd cheering]
[crowd cheering]
Hi everybody, I'm Billy Crystal.
[crowd cheering]
Hello L.A.
and everybody watching
around the world, watching us.
Welcome to FireAid.
We are gathered here at the Kia Forum,
[crowd cheering]
which is Steve Ballmer's guesthouse.
And later we will be over at the fantastic
Intuit Dome.
Our goal is simple tonight,
to raise more money
than the Dodgers spent on free agents.
Now, all kidding aside, when you donate to
FireAidLA.org during tonight's broadcast,
Steve Ballmer and his wonderful wife
Connie will match it dollar for dollar.
[crowd cheering]
And...
And just as I was walking on stage,
I got word that our first big donation
of the night has come in.
It's from this band called U2.
[crowd cheering]
And it's for one million dollars.
Which really means two million dollars,
thanks to Connie and Steve.
And at home,
you too can help us by calling in.
We have an amazing evening
of dozens of incredible performers
coming together to help those in need.
And also, you'll be hearing
from a number of people who were
tragically affected by these fires.
And I am one of them.
[man in crowd] We love you Billy!
These... Shh.
These were the clothes I wore
when I fled my house with my wife Janice,
like so many of us did on January 7th.
It was all I had.
Wore it for a week, plus an N95 mask.
I looked like an evacuee
or someone who had just robbed a 7 Eleven.
But everybody's been so supportive.
This young girl, she must have been 20,
came up to me,
and said she understood my pain
because she had lost TikTok for a day.
[crowd laughing]
Everybody has a thing.
I wanted to be here tonight
because a little over 23 years ago,
and just a month after 9 11, I was asked
to welcome the audience to the concert
for New York at Madison Square Garden.
[crowd cheering]
With...
With Ground Zero still smoldering,
I walked out to a grieving audience,
holding up signs with pictures
of their loved ones on them, asking,
Have you seen them?
It was all I could do
to get my first words out.
And tonight, here I am,
talking to all of you in pain.
But now, I'm also one
of the hurting thousands,
asking, Have you seen my school?
Have you seen my church?
Have you seen my house?
Have you seen my town?
Have you seen the 29 people
who lost their lives?
Have you seen them?
On that night in 2001, we were mourning
the loss of hundreds of firefighters
and police officers and first responders.
Tonight,
we are here together to thank them,
and all those who run towards danger,
while we run to shelter and safety.
[crowd cheering]
When...
When...
When we were finally able to get back
to our house in the Palisades, which we
had lived in for 46 years, like thousands
of you, our house now looked like this.
I stepped onto the grounds,
and I fell to my knees, and I wailed.
I had not cried like that
since I was 15 years old, and I was told
that my father had just died.
I remember looking
in the mirror back then,
with my whole life ahead of me, thinking,
What is my life going to be like
without him?
Now, folks, I'm 76 years old,
without a mirror,
and a lot less life to ponder, thinking,
What is my life going to be like
without our home?
And then I heard screams
from my daughters,
Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad.
And my girls, Jenny and Lindsay, brought
over this rock from a burnt out garden.
Years ago, I bought these rocks
with one word engraved in them,
and placed them around our gardens.
They were welcome, patience, dream,
and the one I held in my hands, laughter.
I learned about the power
of laughter back in 1963.
In our shiver house, sitting alone,
sad little guy, I heard big laughs coming
from the family in our modest living room,
and I came down the hall to see my dear
Uncle Burn in the midst of his sorrow,
telling stories, and doing magic tricks,
and making the entire family laugh.
And it changed my life.
I knew at that moment,
even in your worst pain, folks, it's okay.
And it's important to laugh.
And I dedicated...
[crowd cheering]
And I dedicated my life then,
and my career then has been able to do
that throughout very difficult times,
and I'm proud of that.
But when I held that rock in my hands,
this was the only thing that was left.
I felt there was a message from that
15 year old me saying, it's gonna be okay.
And it will be okay.
With your help around the country,
and here in the room, we'll laugh again,
we're gonna listen to music again,
and we will be okay.
So tonight, from Altadena,
to Malibu, to the
Pacific Palisades,
let's show the world who we are.
We're Los Angeles,
one city, one heart, LA Strong!
[crowd cheering]
And now, please welcome,

I'm broke but I'm happy
I'm poor but I'm kind

I'm high, but I'm grounded
I'm sane, but I'm overwhelmed
- I'm lost, but I'm hopeful

fine, fine
I've got one hand in my pocket,
And the other one is giving a high five
I feel drunk but I'm sober
I'm young, and I'm underpaid
- I'm tired, but I'm working
- Yeah
I care, but I'm restless
I'm here, but I'm really gone
I'm wrong, and I'm sorry, baby
And what it all comes down to
Is that everything's
gonna be quite all right
I've got one hand in my pocket and
the other one is flicking a cigarette
What it all comes down to
Is that I haven't got it
all figured out just yet
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other is giving the peace sign
I'm free, but I'm focused
I'm green, but I'm wise
I'm hard but I'm friendly, baby
I'm sad, but I'm laughing
I'm brave, but I'm chicken shit
I'm sick, but I'm pretty, baby
What it all boils down to
Is that no one's really
got it figured out just yet
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other is playing the piano
What it all comes down to,
my dear friends
Everything is just fine,
fine, fine, fine
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one
is hailing a taxi cab
[crowd cheering]
Thank you so much!
I love you LA so much.
The connections that have been born
from this tragedy is deeply heartwarming.
And LA is a colorful, wild place.
And when things get hard,
we come together really hard.
And I feel it.

everywhere here, we love you.

Two major wildfires are carving a path of
destruction through Southern California.
- Embers were just flying out of control.
- It's heartbreaking to see all of this.
Everything is just burned out.
Everything is gone.
I woke up at 3am in the morning
and my room was filled with smoke.
I knew then that I couldn't stay there.
I saw the fires burning, but I didn't know
how bad it was in my area.
And it wasn't until I was
able to get up there and see for myself
everything that's just gone.
I'm standing on what was
my front porch of my home.
Everything behind me,
my whole house, everything gone.
And this is devastating.
Everything on my block is just gone.
I'm basically starting at zero.
I wish it was just a terrible dream,
a nightmare, but this is real.
Everything I have on right now
has been provided for me by somebody else.
Everything down to my
underwear and t shirts.
I like to think that we are going to come
back stronger and better than before.
You know, I'm a carpenter
and I want to help rebuild Altadena,
get those homes back up and that sense
of community to be felt again.
There's still bright days ahead
and I look forward to that.
You can hear California
in every note of his music.
Please welcome Anderson Paak

["Put Me Thru" by Anderson Paak]
Why the hell would you run this game?
Both my hands are tied
Afraid of thinking I dug my own grave
Fuck around with this
strange and elusive
Too afraid to lose it
I don't mind this pain
Most niggas want you for your candy
They'll never know
just how long it takes
I wave my own pride
And put it all on the line
There I go, volunteering, punish me
Self inflicted pain, sickness over used
Way over used
Here I stay, hey, time to time
It must be what you put me through
It must be what you put me through
A little while longer a bit more time
Why would you run these thoughts
across my mind?
Please, relieve me As cool as I remain
There's a point in which
I'll lose my self restraint
Say, love
most niggas would've left you lonely
I fancy throwing it all away
I see it to my own demise
- How much longer will I let it ride?
- There I go, volunteering, punish me
Self inflicted pain,
sickness over used
- Will I let it ride?
- Here I stay
Here I stay, time to time
Hey, It must be what you put me through
It must be what you put me through.
Here I stay,
Time and time
- It must be
- What you put me through
Ladies and Gentlemen
please make some noise for Sheila E.
There I go, volunteering, punish me
Self inflicted pain,
sickness over used
Here I stay, time to time
It must be what you put me through
There I go, volunteering, punish me
Self inflicted pain,
sickness over used
Here I stay, time to time
It must be what you put me through

Anderson Paak, it's a pleasure
to be a part of this epic lineup.
I know these are tough times,
devastating times.
Our hearts go out to everyone in Los
Angeles who is affected by the fires,
but tonight we showed that we can come
together for a great cause, and as far as
I'm concerned this is one of the greatest
nights in Los Angeles history tonight.
We want to give a big shout-out

who came out tonight to provide, some aid,

[crowd cheering]
Firefighters are now fighting
five wildfires at once.
The first night, we were up in Palisades,
and the chief just tells you, here's your
neighborhood, go find something to save.
I've been in the fire service
30 years now.
For me, it's in my blood.
This is by far the worst fire disaster
that I've witnessed.
It was just a perfect storm of events.
The fires, they were unstoppable.
To see all the damage that's happened,
neighborhoods wiped out,
people have lost everything.
You definitely start feeling defeated.
Firefighters desperately have been trying
to stop those flames
from crossing over the ridge and heading
to other major population centers.
Mandeville Canyon, hundreds of houses
were threatened within an instant.
And we put so many resources up there.
Aircraft and helicopters
and big, giant DC 10s.
Get them, brothers!
It was six hours of a firefight
in this canyon, and we lost one home only.
The call to save Los Angeles has been
answered by firefighters and other first
responders from all over the country.
It's just people who have a heart
to give service back to the people,
and those are your firefighters,
and, you know, they want to give back
to the community and just help people.
We all owe so much
to the fire department for what they do.
- These guys are heroes.
- God bless them.
You know, people come up to us
nonstop and they thank us.
For me, it's important to thank Water
and Power, LAPD, the National Guard.
All those people are away
from their family just as long as us.
Thank them, too.
Disasters bring communities together.
Everybody in L.A.
and Southern California and across
America, and even the world, they
come together to help in time of need.
And that ultimately shows
what humanity is about.
[crowd cheering]
I can think of no better person
to assuage us during this time
than the incomparable Joni Mitchell.
["Both Sides Now" by Joni Mitchell]
Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
And they rain and they
snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
All the clouds got in my way
I've looked at clouds from both sides
now
From up and down
And still somehow it's cloud illusions
I recall
I really don't know clouds at all
Moons and Junes and ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way that you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way
But now it's just another show
You leave them laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away
I've looked at love
from both sides now
From give and take and still somehow
It's love's illusions. I recall
I really don't know love
I really don't know love at all
Tears and fears, and feeling proud
To say I love you right out loud
Oh, dreams and schemes
and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way,
but now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads and they say,
Joanie, you've changed
Well, something's lost,
but something's
gained in living every day
I've looked at life
from both sides now
From win and lose.
And still, somehow,
it's life's illusions that I recall
I really don't know life
I really don't know life at all
Thank you.
[laughs]
[reporter] Family sanctuaries
for nearly 50 years reduced to ash.
[female reporter] It's been a period of
unimaginable change
for the Williams family.
The Eaton wildfire destroyed generations
of their family's Altadena homes.
[woman] When we go outside,
it's just dark swirling.
We knew it was bad.
Four members of the family
lost their homes entirely.
Despite the long road ahead,
they're still finding the light
in even the darkest of moments.
It's a blessing that we've been able
to all stay together through this.
Yeah.
Because I don't know
what I would do with that.
- Yeah.
- God is still watching over us.
We are so blessed.
[crowd cheering]
Hello, LA!
I'm Dr. Yechelle Williams, and I'm
here with my sisters, Crystal, Kim,
Dr. Ellen, and my mother, Matilda.
We are the Williams family from Altadena.
At about 3.30 in the morning,
the warning hit our phones.
Fast moving fire, evacuate now.
And we did.
We grabbed what we could.
Pictures, our grandmother's special clock.
We collected our father's ashes
and his flag from serving in the military.
We live close to one another,
and thank goodness we all made it out.
Including our 47 year old parrot, Hank.
Among the five of us standing here,
we lost four homes.
And we're struggling
to find places to live.
We have ties to the Altadena community
going back to 1948
when our grandmother brought her home.
[crowd cheering]
We love our community.
And right now,
we are all grieving immense loss.
But there's a sign in the ruins
at my mother's home.
Everything was destroyed
except her front door.
It stands at this hour.
It's a sign
because that door was always open.
That door was the gateway to love.
[crowd cheers]
While many of us live elsewhere right now,
we are bound together to one another,
healed by one another
because of family and faith.
And it's what gives us strength
to be here tonight.
[crowd cheering]
The next band is from L.A.
two of the members and their parents
also sadly lost their homes in Altadena.
Please help me welcome, Dawes.
[crowd cheering]
["Time Spent In Los Angeles
Lyrics" by Dawes]
These days my friends
don't seem to know me
Without my suitcase in my hands
And when I'm Standing still,
I seem to disappear
But maybe that's how I found you
Maybe that taught me
exactly what I want
Maybe meeting you this
far away from home
is what makes it all so clear that
You've got that special
kind of sadness
You've got that tragic set of charms
That only comes from time spent
in Los Angeles
Makes me want to wrap you in my arms
When people ask me where I'm home from
To see what it says about a man I
only end up giving bad directions
To never leave them there at all
It's something written
in the headlights
It is something swimming in my drink
And if I were the moon,
it would be exactly where I'd fall
Cause you've got
that special kind of sadness
And you've got that tragic
set of charms
That only comes
from time spent in Los Angeles
Makes me want to wrap you in my arms
I used to think
that someone would love me
For all these places that I've been
And the dirt that I've been gathering.
Deep beneath my nails
But now I know what I've been missing
And I'm going home to make it mine
And I'll be battening the edges.
And pulling in the sails
Cause you've got
that special kind of sadness
You've got that tragic set of charms
That only comes
from time spent in Los Angeles
Makes me want to wrap you in my arms
You've got that special
kind of sadness
You've got that tragic set of charms
That only comes
from time spent in Los Angeles
Makes me want to wrap you in my arms
We'd like to welcome to the stage.
Stephen Stills with Mike Campbell.
["For What it's Worth"
by Stephen Stills]
There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop,
Hey...
What's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down?
There's battle lines being drawn
Ain't nobody right.
If everybody's wrong.
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
It's time we stop, hey
What's that sound?
Everybody look What's going down
What a field day for the heat
A thousand people standing out
Tryin' to hear the street cut.
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
-Hey, what's that sound
-Everybody look what's going down
Going down.
Hey
[inaudible]
[continues inaudibly]
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line,
the man come and take you away
Hey, what's that sound?
[vocalizing]
Everybody look what's going down
Stop hey what's that sound
everybody look what's going down
Time to take it down
Everybody look what's going down
[guitar solo]
We've got to stop.
Hey, what's that sound?
[vocalizing]
And now let's add to that.
Let's welcome to the stage,
Mr. Graham Nash.
So pleased to be here.
Particularly with the great band Dawes.
And my partner for so many years,
Stephen Stills.
You know, there's a very large community
here in Los Angeles
made up of many, many musicians.
And whenever Los Angeles gets into
trouble, the musicians are right there.
And I'm proud to be one of them.
["Teach Your Children"
by Stills and Nash]
You, who are on the road,
must have a code that you can live by
And so become yourself
Because the past is just a goodbye
Teach your children well,
their father's hell did slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams,
the one they pick
Is the one's you'll know by
Come one join us here
Don't you ever ask them why,
if they told you, you would cry,
so just look at them and sigh
And know they love you
And you, of tender years,
can't now the fears that
your elders grew by,
And so please help them
with your youth,
'Cause they seek the truth
Before they can die
Teach your parents well,
their children's hell
will slowly go by,
and feed them on your dreams,
The ones they pick, is the one's you'll
know by
- Let me hear ya.

[crowd singing]
Take care of yourself!
Take care of one another!
[reporter] Three dog
trapped in their house
alone as the Palisades fire closed in.
I was in San Francisco at the time.
My wife, Six, was traveling in Asia.
They had someone taking care of their dogs
in the Pacific Palisades.
But the dog sitter got stuck.
A fire in the vicinity prevented
her from getting to their home.
Jonathan Vigliotti was reporting from
the Pacific Palisades Charter High School.
We live right up the street from there.
This neighborhood under threat right now.
At least five homes destroyed.
I was in the Palisades showing what was
going on within the disaster zone.
And I posted something on social media.
And Andrea's wife saw that post.
And they connected with us.
And said, we've got dogs in our house.
Can you go in, break in, and get them?
When we got to the street,
the houses on the other side of the street
from Andrea's were already on fire.
We looked at each other and we just knew,
we have to take action,
otherwise those dogs will not survive.
We grabbed a chair,
we smashed through the window, and then it
was just all action, no thinking.
- Hey guys, where are you?
- There was one right by the door.
There was another hiding under a bed.
And then the third was growling
and did not want to be caught.
Come on, we gotta go.
- Good boy, let's go.
- Yeah, you are so funny.
I understand.
And by the time we got the last dog
into the car, there were embers
starting to ignite Andrea's home.
- Okay, let's go.
- Then Andrea's house burned down.
I saw my phone ringing. It was Jonathan.
The first thing he said was,
we got the dogs.
When we finally reunited Andrea with his
dogs, he immediately broke down crying.
We did too.
All the adrenaline and fear and anxiety
and hope just suddenly released
and we both just broke down in tears.
That's one of the most
life affirming moments.
You know, we don't have kids,
but they feel like a part of you.
But I was thinking immediately
about all the other people who could not
get back into their homes at the time,
who were outside of the evacuation zone
and could not gain access,
who weren't able to have those reunions.
In tragedy, we oftentimes find
our best version of ourselves.
And I think that is on clear display
here in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles!
Help me welcome a true powerhouse!
Pink.
["What About Us" by Pink]
[both vocalizing]
That's nice
We are searchlights
we can see in the dark
We are rockets pointed up at the stars.
We are billions of beautiful hearts
And you sold us down the river too far
What about us?
What about all the times
you said you had the answers?
What about us?
What about all the broken
happy ever afters?
Oh, what about us?
What about all the plans
that ended in disaster?
What about love? What about trust?
What about us?
We are problems that want to be solved
We are children that need to be loved
We were willing. We came
when you called
But man, you fooled us,
Enough is enough
What about us?
What about all the times
you sent you at the answers?
What about us?
What about all the broken
happy ever afters?
Oh, what about us?
What about all the plans
that ended in disaster?
What about trust? What about us?
What about love?
Sticks and stones, they may break
these bones, but then I'll be ready
Are you ready?
It's the start of us waking up, come on
Are you ready? I'll be ready
I don't want control. I want to let go
Cause now it's time to let them know
What about us?
What about all the times
you said you had the answer?
What about us?
What about all the broken
happy ever afters?
Oh, what about our us?
What about all the plans
that ended in disaster?
What about love? What about trust?
What about us?
What about us? What about us?
What about us? What about us?
What about us? What about us?
Thank you
Thank you I want to first thank
our first responders and...
From the bottom of our hearts.
I'm very honored to be here on a night
like tonight and I'm very grateful that
you all would want to be here to celebrate
generosity and love and kindness.
I hope we can continue
to gather in that spirit.
If you're hurting, I'm hurting with you.
My heart is with you.
I'm going to keep my feet
on the ground tonight.
And I'm going to sing a couple of songs
that bring me comfort.
And I hope that they
do the same for you all.
- Thank you.
- Thanks for having us.
["Me and Bobby McGee" by Janis Joplin]
Busted flat in Baton Rouge,
waitin' for a train
And I's feelin' near
as faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down,
just before it rained
It rode us all the way to New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red
bandanna I was playing
soft while Bobby sang the blues
Windshield wipers slappin' time,
I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
We sang every song that driver knew
Freedom's just another word
for nothing left to lose
Nothing.
Only nothing, honey
It ain't free.
Yeah
Feelin' good was easy, Lord.
When he sang the blues
Feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me, Bobby McGee.
Yeah
From the Kentucky coal mines
to the California sun, Yeah
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Through all kinds of weather.
Through everything we've done
Bobby, baby, help me
from the cold world
One day up near Salinas,
Lord, I let him slip away
He's lookin' for that home,
and I hope he finds it
But, I'd trade all of my tomorrows,
for a single yesterday
To be holding Bobby's
body next to mine
Freedom's just another word.
for nothing left to lose
Nothing. Oh, that's all
that Bobby left me
Oh, yeah.
Feeling good when it seems to be loved
When he sang the blues.
Feeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and
Bobby McGee, yeah
La, da, da, da,
La, da, da, da,
La, da, da, da,
La, da, da, da, Bobby McGee, yeah
La, da, da, da, da. Bobby McGee, yeah
La, da, da. Hey, Bobby McGee
La, da, da. [repeat]
Hey, Bobby McGee
Yeah, yeah
Well, I call him my lover, call him my
man I said, I call him my lover
did the best I can, c'mon
Will you help me now
Hey now, Bobby McGee, yeah
Hey, now, na, now, na, now, na,
now, na, now, na, now, na, now
Hey hey
Hey now, Bobby McGee, yeah
Woo!
Thank you.
I think I almost just passed out.
Okay.
Thank you. You guys are awesome.
Tonight is so special. So, so special.
I'm so inspired by the love
that is happening.
Alright, this is one of our favorites.
We got any Led Zeppelin fans out there?
Alright, thank God.
Babe, I'm gonna leave you.
["Babe, I'm gonna leave you."
by Led Zeppelin]
Babe
Baby, baby, I'm gonna leave you
I said, baby,
you know I'm gonna leave you
Yeah, leave you in the summertime
Leave you when the summer
comes rolling
Leave you when the summer comes alive
Baby, baby, baby
I don't want to leave you
I ain't joking, woman.
I've got to ramble
Oh, yeah.
Baby, baby, I'm leaving
Really got to ramble

Hey, I can hear it callin' me back home
Woman

Come what may, every day, ooh

Hello.
Samuel L. Jackson here.
I'm kicking off the show
down the street at the Intuit Dome.
- Are you ready to get this going?
- Yeah.
This concert is so big,
we had to fill two arenas.
We're all here to watch some
incredible music and hold each other up.
The fires were devastating.
But the firefighters in this town,
from all over this country,
and even other countries,
saved so many lives and so many homes.
We've got hundreds of first responders
here in the house.
Let's give them a huge round of applause.
Give it up! Give it up!
Yeah, Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Give it up, give it up!
Even while they fought for us,
some of them lost their homes.
I'd like for you to meet Chien Yu
and his wife and their children,
Hudson and Atticus. His wife, Kim.
Thank you, Sam.
We live in Altadena, and I've been in
the Pasadena Fire Department for 18 years.
[crowd cheering]
The night of the Eaton Fire,
I saw the glow through the trees.
Kim and I got our kids out
as soon as we got our orders to evacuate.
After they were safe, I went to work.
For 16 hours, I fought the flames.
And they were unlike anything
any of us have ever experienced.
When we finally got a break,
I immediately went to check on my house.
And it was gone.
A few days later,
I started combing through the ashes,
and I found my wedding ring.
[crowd cheering]
I always take it off for work,
and I never thought I'd get it back.
But I'm not the only firefighter
who lost their home.
But what I keep hearing is this.
We're not going anywhere. We will rebuild.
[crowd cheering]
I believe we will. And we can.
We love our firefighters,
and we need to help them right now.
So go to the website
and give what you can.
All the money that's raised will go
directly to people who need help in the
short term and for the long term effort
to get this city back on its feet.
Now, to kick out the music at the Intuit
Dome is two time rock and roll hall
of famer, and my ex neighbor, Sir Rod.
["Forever Young" by Rod Stewart]
May the good Lord be with you
Down every road you roam
And may sunshine and happiness
surround you when you're far from home
And may you grow to be proud
Dignified and true
And do unto others,
as you'd have done to you
Be courageous and be brave
And in my heart always remain.
Forever young
Forever young
May good fortune be with you.
May your guiding light be strong
Build a stairway to heaven,
with a prince or a vagabond
And may you never love in vain
and in my heart always remain
Forever Young, Forever Young
Forever Young, Forever Young
Forever Young
Forever Young
[guitar solo]
When you finally fly away
I'll be hoping that
I've served your way well
For all the wisdom of a lifetime
No one can ever tell
But whatever road you choose
I'm right behind you, win or lose
Forever Young, Forever Young
Forever Young, Forever Young
Forever Young
Forever Young
Forever Young
Thank you, That's very kind of you.
[inaudible] ...what's a British
person doing on the stage
tonight, but I lived here for 50 years.
50 years.
So this Los Angeles, California
is my blood in my soul and in my heart.
Now here's a new song.
Not.
["Maggie May" by Rod Stewart]
Wake up, Maggie
I think I got something to say to you
It's late September
and I really should be back at school
I know I keep you amused,
but I feel I'm being used
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't
have tried anymore
You led me away from home
Cause you didn't want to be alone
You stole my heart,
and that's what really hurts
Morning sun, when it's in your face.
When it shows your age
That don't worry me
That don't worry me. Not in my eyes
You're everything
I laughed at all of your jokes.
My love, you didn't need to coax
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't
have tried anymore
You led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my soul.
And that's what really hurts
Come on Maggie
I suppose I could collect my books
and get on back to school
Or steal my daddy's cue
and make a living out of playing pool
Or find myself a rock 'n' roll band
That needs a helping hand
Oh, Maggie, I wished
I'd never seen your face
You made a first class fool out of me
I'm just blind as a fool can be
You stole my soul. But
I love you anyway
[guitar solo]
Oh!
Maggie, I wish I'd never
seen your face
Oh, Maggie, I wish I'd never seen
your face I got to get back home Maggie
Get back home Maggie
Get back home Maggie
[crowd cheering]
Thank you for being here
for this tremendous cause.
Thanks, Ervin, Azoff and the family.
This next song was written
during the civil uprising in the 1960s.
And I think this one is
apropos for this evening.
This one, People Get Ready.
["People Get Ready" by Rod Stewart]
People get ready
There's a train a coming.
You don't need no baggage
You just get on board
All you need is faith.
To hear the diesels climbing
Don't need no ticket.
You just thank the Lord
People get ready. For
a train to Jordan
Picking up passengers.
From coast to coast
Faith is the key. Open
the doors and blow
There's room for all
[inaudible]
Yeah
[guitar solo]
among the loved the most
[singers vocalizing]
- There ain't no room
- For the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind.
Just to save his own
Have pity on those
whose chances are thinner
For there's no hiding place.
From the Kingdom's Throne
So people get ready.
There's a train a coming
- You don't need no baggage
- You just get on board
- All you need is faith
- All you need is faith
- To hear the diesels humming
- To hear the diesels humming
You don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord
Donate my friends, donate.
Thank you for being here, good night
Enjoy the rest of the evening
Ladies and gentlemen, and every other
gender that absolutely exists, I give you.

["Neon" by John Mayer]
When sky blue gets dark enough
To see the colors of the city lights
A trail of ruby red and diamond white
Hits her like a sunrise
She comes and goes,
and comes and goes like no one can
Tonight she's out to lose herself...
To find a high on Peachtree Street
From mixed drinks to techno beats
it's always heavy into everything
She comes and goes and comes
and goes like no one can
She comes and goes and no one knows
she's slipping through my hands
She's always buzzing
just like neon, neon
Neon, neon
Who knows how long, how long, how long
she can go before she goes
[vocalizing]
[guitar solo]
She comes and she goes like no one can
She comes and she goes she's
slipping through my hands
She's always buzzing
just like neon, neon
Neon, neon
[vocalizing]
Who knows how long, how long, how long
she can go before she bends away
She bends away
She bends away
Thank you, everyone.
It's an honor to be here tonight.
Thank you.

["Gravity" by John Mayer]
Gravity
It's working against me
Gravity
Wants to bring me down
Oh, I'll never know.
Oh, it makes this man
With all the love.
That his heart can stand
Dream of ways. To throw it all away
Oh, gravity
Oh, it's working against me.
Ooh, yeah
And gravity
Oh, it wants to bring me down
Oh, now, now, twice as much.
And twice as good
And I can't sustain.
Like one half could
It's wanting more
That's gonna send me to my knees
[guitar solo]
[vocalizing]
Oh, now, twice as much.
Hey, twice as good
You know that I can't
sustain like one I could
It's wanting more that's
gonna send me to
my knees
Gravity
Stay the hell away from me
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Gravity
Has taken better men than me.
Now, how can that be?
Just keep me where the light is
Just keep me where the light is
Just keep me where the light is
Come on, keep me where.
Now, keep me where the light is
Keep us on where the light is
Keep you on where the light is
Keep us all where the light,
where the light,
where the light, where the light is
Come on, keep us where the light is
Oh, where the light is
[crowd cheering]
Thank you very much.
- This is a Tom Petty song.
- ["Free Fallin'" by John Mayer]
And for me and so many others growing up,
this was our first insight
into the dream of living in California.
And it is a dream.
And for those whose dreams have broken,
those whose dreams have not, we will get
together tonight and many other nights
to make sure those dreams are repaired.
She's a good girl

[crowd cheering]
[man in crowd] Thank you! Bravo!
[crowd cheering]
Hi, everyone
Hi, I'm Quinta Brunson.
[crowd cheering]
Thank you.
Thank you, guys.
The fires all over LA
have destroyed homes and schools,
disrupting education for thousands.
They have taken an immeasurable toll
on our children, parents,
and the people with one of the most
important and toughest jobs in the world.
Teachers. Yeah.
Right now,
I'd like you to meet one of them,
a math teacher, Aurora Barboza Flores.
Thank you, Quinta.
Good evening, everybody.
It took me 21 years
to save for a down payment.
[Quinta] I got you
My hard work paid off.
Five years ago,
I purchased my dream home in Altadena.
And I was embraced by the community.
So now I've lost more than my home.
I've lost my community, too.
I was so proud to be a homeowner.
So proud to have a place
to call my own in this city.
During the fire, it got so windy,
I had to evacuate.
I kept hearing about friends
and neighbors who lost their homes.
So I borrowed a bike,
put on a mask and goggles,
and went to see the house for myself.
The destruction of the fire in Altadena
made it look like a war zone.
Power lines down. Homes and cars burnt.
My house on Glen Rose Avenue was gone.
Everything was gone.
But I did manage to find one thing.
A dish that I used to keep my jewelry in.
It had an inscription which reads,
I think I'll just be happy today.
That's right.
[crowd cheering]
Sometimes that's all we can do.
Even though it's hard,
there are moments that get us through.
- Moments like tonight.
- That's right.
Everybody, let's thank Aurora
and all the teachers out there right now.
[crowd cheering]
Yes.
[crowd continues cheering]
Yes.
Amazing.
Thank you.
So, listen up. Give what you can.
100% of the money given to the fire aid
goes to short term relief
and long term efforts to rebuild.
The info is on the screen.
And now, one of the greatest
groups of all time,
I can't believe I'm standing next to them.

It feels good. It feels good.
It's a rock and roll remedy
["Remedy" by The Black Crowes]
Baby, baby,

Are you the reason

I'm so happy to be here.
I'm very happy
you are here, too.
I thank these fellas
for backing me up,
playing a song with me.
Thank you, guys and gals.
Well, this song has a rainbow
in it, and it's just for you.
["Have You Ever Seen the Rain?"
by John Fogerty]
Someone told me long ago
There's a calm
before the storm
I know, it's been comin'
for some time
When it's over, so they say
It'll reign a sunny day
I know,
shinin' down like water
I wanna know
have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know that
have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?
Yesterday and days before
Sun is cold and rain is hard
I know, been that way
for all my time
'Til forever, on it goes
Through the circle,
fast and slow
I know, it can't stop,
I wonder
Alright, here we go.
I wanna know that
have you ever seen the rain?
You are beautiful.
I wanna know that
have you ever seen the rain?
Comin' down on a sunny day?
I wanna know that
have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know that
have you ever seen the rain?
Comin' down on a sunny day?
Out there!
Alright, thank y'all so much.
God bless ya.
[guitar strum]
Well, alright!
Every, everybody comes up
and says it.
He needs no introduction.
Everybody has, uh,
come up tonight and said it.
But I'm gonna say it too,
and we're gonna say it
Thanks to the first responders.
For putting their lives
on the line.
Play a little something
we thought
was appropriate for the evening.
["Going to California"
by Led Zeppelin]
Spent my days
with a woman unkind
Smoked my stuff and drank
all my wine
Made up my mind
to make a new start
Gone to California
with an aching in my heart
Someone told me
there's a girl out there
With love in her eyes,
flowers in her hair
Took my chances
on a big jet plane
Never let them tell you that
they're all, all the same
The sea was red
and the sky was grey
Wondered how tomorrow
Could ever follow today
Mountains and the canyon
start to tremble and shake
As the children of the sun
began to awake
Watch out
Seems like a red, but the
Gods got a punch in the nose
And it's starting to blow
I think I might be sinking
Throw me a line
If I reach it in time,
I'll meet you up there
Where the path runs
straight and high
To find a queen
without a king
They say she plays guitar
and cries and sings
Oh, la, la, la, la, la
Ride a white mare
in the footsteps of dawn
Trying to find a woman
Never, never, never
been born
Standing on a hill
in my mountain of dreams
Telling myself
it's not as hard,
Hard, hard as it seems
Thank you, thank you.
Here, joining Aaron Dessner,
is Gracie Abrams.
["I Love You, I'm Sorry"
by Gracie Abrams]
Two August ago,
I told the truth of you
You didn't like it,
you went home
You're in your Benz,
I'm by the gate
And now you go alone
Charm all the people
You trained for you mean well
but aim low
And I'll make it known
Like I'm getting paid
And that's just the way
life goes
I like to slam
Doors close
Trust me, I know
It's always about me
I love you
I'm sorry
Two summers for now
We'll have been talking but
not all that often
We're cool now
I'll be on a boat
You're on a plane
Going somewhere sane
And I'll have a drink
Whistfully lean out
my window
And watch the sunset
on the lake
I might not feel real
But it's okay
That's just the way
life goes
I push my luck
It shows
Thankful you don't
send someone to kill me
I love you
I'm sorry
You were the best
But you were the worst
As sick as it sounds
I loved you first
I was a dick
It is what it is
A habit to kick,
the age old curse
I tend to laugh whenever
I'm sad
Stare at the crash
Actually works
Making amends
It never ends
I'm wrong again
Wrong again
The way
Joyriding down our road
Lie on the horn
to prove that it haunts me
I love you
I'm sorry
The way life goes
I wanna speak in code
Hope that I don't,
won't make it about me
I love you
I'm sorry
Thank you so much, LA.
How you doing?
We feel so lucky to be in this
room with all of you tonight.
I just want to say
I grew up in the Palisades
and my heart is with all of my
neighbors
and everyone in Altadena.
And we're just so
deeply blown away
by and grateful for all
the first responders and
all the firefighters who
have put their lives on the line
to protect all of us.
And I think that this
is just such a
beautiful reflection of what
music does is bring people
together in this way.
And I'm just inspired by
all of you in this community.
And I love
Los Angeles very much.
It is home. So we feel very
lucky to be here with you.
And this next song is
a song by Counting Crows
and it's a love letter to LA.
It's called A Long December.
["A Long December"
by Counting Crows]
A Long December
And there's reason
to believe
Maybe this year
will be better than the last
I can't remember
the last thing
That you said
as you were leavin'
Now the days go by so fast
And it's one more day
up in the canyon
And it's one more night
in Hollywood
And if you think that
I could be forgiven
I wish you would
Na na na na na
na na na na na
The smell of hospitals
in winter
And the feeling that it's all
a lot of oysters
And no pearls
And all at once you look
across a crowded room
To see the way
That light attaches to a girl
And it's one more day
up in the canyon
And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think you might come
to California, I think you should
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na
Drove up to Hillside Manor
sometime after two a.m.
And talked a little while
about the year
I guess the winter makes you laugh
a little slower,
Makes you talk a little lower
about the things you could not show her
And it's been a long December
and there's reason to believe maybe
this year will be better
than the last
I can't remember all the times
I tried to tell myself
to hold on to these moments
as they pass
And it's one more day up in the canyon
And it's one more night in Hollywood
It's been so long
since I've seen the ocean
I guess I should
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na
Thank you so much LA.
We love you.
You can't have a concert for SoCal
without this band.
No Doubt.
Los Angeles!
Fire Aid 2025!
You looking at me.
I said are you looking at me.
["Just A Girl" by No Doubt]
Take this pink ribbon off my eyes
I'm exposed And it's no big surprise
Don't you think I know
exactly where I stay?
This world
is forcing me to hold your hand
'Cause I'm just a girl,
oh little ol' me
Don't let me out of your sight
Oh I'm just a girl,
all pretty and petite
So don't let me have any rights Oh...
I've had it up to here!
The moment that I step outside
So many reasons
for me to run and hide
I can't do the little things
I hold so dear
Cause it's all those
little things that I fear
But I'm just a girl
I'd rather not be
'Cause they won't let me drive
Late at night
Oh I'm just a girl,
Guess I'm some kind of freak
'Cause they all sit and stare
With their eyes
Oh I'm just a girl,
Take a good look at me
Just your typical prototype
Oh...
I've had it up to here!
Let's go.
Here we go here we go.
Oh... am I making myself clear?
Am I making myself clear?
I'm just a girl
I'm just a girl
We love Los Angeles!
We love you, LA!
Alright, I was thinking.
I was thinking.
Because we love LA so much.
I thought that tonight I could have all
the guys, all the LA boys sing with me.
Can we do that tonight?
Tony!
Can we do that tonight?
Alright, here we go.
Just boys. Just boys.
Are you ready?
I'm just a girl!
[audience]
I'm just a girl
Was that good?
Let's try it one more time.
I'm just a girl
[audience] I'm just a girl
I'm just a girl
I'm just a girl
That's pretty good, that's LA good.
Pretty good.
But for boys.
Where are my LA girls at?
Where are my LA girls at?
Let's do this.
I want my ears to bleed, okay?
I'm just a girl
[audience] I'm just a girl!
- I'm just a girl!
- [audience] I'm just a girl!
I'm just a girl in LA
Cause they won't let me.
Oh I'm just a girl, living in captivity
Your rule of thumb makes me worry some
Woh I'm just a girl, what's my destiny?
What I've succumbed to is making me numb
Oh I'm just a girl, my apologies
What I've become is so burdensome
Oh I'm just a girl, lucky me
Twiddle dum there's no comparison
No way here we go
Oh...
I've had it up to
Oh...
I've had it up to
Oh oh oh oh oh...
I've had it up to here
["Don't Speak" by No Doubt]
You and me, we used to be together
Every day together, always
I really feel that
I'm losing my best friend
I can't believe this could be the end
It looks as though you're lettin' go
And if it's real,

["Spiderwebs" by No Doubt]
You think that we connect
That the chemistry's correct
Your words walk right through my ears
Presuming I like what I hear
And now I'm stuck in the
The web you're spinning
You got me for your prey...
Come on!
Sorry I'm not home right now

A likely story, but leave a message

Don't let the courage inside me...
to tell you, please let me in

It's all about love tonight, you guys.
And we love you so much, Los Angeles.
Look at us all coming together.
All right, you gonna sing with me?
You ready to sing with me?

The nation's second-largest school
district is dealing with damage.
A dozen schools have been destroyed
in the Palisades and Eaton fires.
Kids cannot go to school.
Kids, and grown-ups,
they don't have anywhere to live.
Now thousands of children
across the burn zones are waiting to hear
about when they can return to class.
The principal said maybe Thursday.
Because they still have to clear it,
I guess.
- And what grade are you in?
- Fifth.
I was born and raised in Altadena and
pretty much everything got burned down.
I lost all my Legos, my braille stuff,
a computer, a keyboard.
I don't really miss anything I lost.
I just miss where we lived.
- We have a nice home, huh?
- Yeah.
Make you think of it, huh?
That was our home
for the ten years that I've been alive.
It's going to be kind of hard
for someone like me to learn a new house.
I can hear better
than anyone I know, I think.
Because I can hear a siren
from farther away than anyone I know can.
I'm kind of excited
for our park to get rebuilt.
Me and my mom went there like almost
every day to ride my bike or my scooter.
I love helping people.
Everyone comes together in situations
like this and works together.
I just hope that we can build
our community bigger and better.
Hello Los Angeles.
I'm Grayson and this is my mom. Terica.
I'm so excited
to be here with y'all tonight.
And I want to thank all the artists
jumping in to help.
The fire took a lot.
But as I told everyone when we were
staying at my uncle's,
when life gives you lemons
or burnt houses,
you make lemonade.
To the people of Altadena,
we will come back stronger.
Get ready everybody.
I'm excited to introduce Tate McRae.
["You Broke Me First" by Tate McRae]
Maybe you don't like talking
too much about yourself
But you should've told me that you were
thinking 'bout someone else
You're drunk at a party or maybe
it's just that your car broke down
Your phone's been off for
a couple months, you're calling me now
I know you, you're like this
When shit don't go your way,
you're needing me to fix it
And like me, I did
But I've ran out of every reason
Now, suddenly
you're asking for it back
Could you tell me,
where'd you get the nerve?
Yeah, you could say
you missed all that we had
But I don't really care
how bad it hurts when you broke me
When you broke me first
Took a while,
was in denial when I first heard
That you moved on quicker
than I could ever
You know that hurt
Swear for a while I would stare
at my phone just to see your name
But now that's there,
I don't really know what to say
I know you, you're like this
When shit don't go your way,
you need me to fix it
And like me, I did.
But I've ran out of every reason
Now, suddenly
you're asking for it back
Could you tell me,
where'd you get the nerve?
Yeah, you could say
you miss all that we had
But I don't really care how bad it hurts
when you broke me first
You broke me first
What did you think would happen?
What did you think would happen?
I'll never let you have it
What did you think would happen?
Now, suddenly
you're asking for it back
Could you tell me,
where'd you get the nerve?
Yeah, you could say
you missed all that we had
But I don't really care
how bad it hurts when you broke me
When you broke me first
When you broke me first
You broke me first
Hi everyone I'm name is Tate
So, nice to meet you guys.
This is an absolute honor
to preform here tonight.
I moved to Los Angeles four years ago.
With a dream to become a musican.
And um...
I feel so lucky and blessed now to call it
my home.
Um, it's been a really
devastating start of the year.
But I think we can all agree on
is how much we come together
has been a magical thing to watch.
And I'm so grateful
to just be a part of this.
And for every single person
who showed up tonight.
And every artist who performed.
So, thank you.
We are now going to sing a cover
of Don't Dream It's Over.
["Don't Dream It's Over"
by Crowded House]
There is freedom within
There is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There is a battle ahead
Many battles have lost
But you'll never see
the end of the road
Traveling with me
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come
They come
To build a wall between us
Who know they won't win
Now I'm towing my car
There's a hole in the roof
My possessions
are causing me suspicion
but there's no proof
In the paper today
tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over
to the T.V. page
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come
They come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
Sing it if you know it!
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
I know they won't win
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
They won't win
Hey now, hey now
Build a wall between us
Hey now, hey now
Let's keep it going for Jelly Roll.
Love you guys. Thank you.
I am honored to bring some country music
to the Fire Aid tonight.
What's up Los Angeles?
["I Am Not Okay" by Jelly Roll]
I am not okay
I'm barely getting by
I'm losing track of days
I'm losing sleep at night
And I am not okay
I'm hanging on the rails
So if I say I'm fine, just know that
I learned to hide it well
I know I can't be the only one
Who's holding on for dear life
But God knows, I know
When it's all said and done
I'm not okay,
but it's all gonna be alright
It's not okay,
but we're all gonna be alright
Ain't that right, California?
I woke up today
I almost stayed in bed
I had the devil on my back
And voices in my head
Some days it ain't all bad
Some days it all gets worse
Some days I swear
I'm better off than laying in that dirt
Come on!
I know I can't be the only one
Who's holding on for dear life
God knows,
I know when it's all said and done
I'm not okay,
but it's all gonna be alright
It's not okay,
but we're all gonna be alright
Gonna be alright
We're gonna be alright
Listen to me.
I know one day
we'll see the other side
The pain will wash away
in a holy water time
We're all gonna be alright
Come on, rock with me!
I know I can't be the only one
Who's holding on for dear life
God knows,
I know when it's all said and done
I see you.
I'm not okay,
but it's all gonna be alright
It's not okay,
but we're all gonna be alright
I'm not okay
It's all gonna be alright
Yes!
My name is Jason Jelly Roll Dee Ford.
I am from Nashville, Tennessee
and it is an honor to be here tonight.
But I think it's important
while I'm on this stage
that I sing one of my favorite songs
by one of my favorite songwriters about
one of my favorite cities in America.
But it would only be right
if I did it with somebody
from Los Angeles, California.
So I would like to bring my big brother,
Mr. Travis Barker
out to play the drums tonight.
Travis, what you say?
We play a little song for them
Hollywood nights, baby!
["Hollywood Nights" by Hollywood Nights]
She stood there bright as the sun
on that California coast
He was a midwestern boy on his own
She looked at him with those soft eyes
so innocent and blue
He knew right there
he was too far from home
Oh, yes, I am, baby!
Woo!
She took his head and she led
him along that golden beach
They watched the waves
come a little over the sand
They drove for miles and miles
up those twisted turning roads
Higher and higher
and higher they climbed
You know this?
In those Hollywood nights,
In those Hollywood hills
She was looking so right
In her diamonds and frills
Oh those big city nights
In those high rolling hills
Above all the lights
She had all of her skills
He'd headed west cause he felt
that a change would do him good
Y'all know what I'm talking about.
See some old friends,
it'd be good for the soul
She had been born with a face
that would let her get away
He lost that face and he
lost all control
He had lost all control
Night after night, day after day,
it went on and on
Then came that morning
he woke up alone
He spent all night staring
down at the lights on LA
Wondering if he could ever go home
No, I'm not baby
And those Hollywood nights
In those Hollywood hills
She was looking so right
It was giving him chills
In those big city nights
In those high rolling hills
Above all the lights
With a passion that kills
In those Hollywood nights
In those Hollywood hills
In those Hollywood nights
[repeat] Come on
In those Hollywood nights [repeat]
In those Hollywood nights
One of the greatest ever
to do it, Travis Barker.
We love you Los Angeles.
She is LA Rock Royalty!
And one of my favorite
artists of all time!
Stevie Nicks!
["Stand Back" by Stevie Nicks]
No one looked as I walked by
Just an invitation
would have been just fine
Said no to him again and again
First he took my heart then he ran
No one knows how I feel
What I say unless you
read between my lines
One man walked away from me
First he took my hand he said take it
Stand back stand back
In the middle of my room,
I did not hear from you
It's alright, it's alright
To be standing in a line
To be standing in a line
I would
La, la, lala, la
Do not turn away my friend
Like a willow I can bend
No man calls my name
No man came
So I walked on down away from you
Maybe your attention was more
Than I could do
One man did not call
He asked me for my love
He said take it
Stand back stand back
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you
It's alright it's alright
To be standing in a line
To be standing in a line
I would
So I walked on down the
line away from you
Maybe my attention was more
than I could do
One man did not call
well he asked me for too much
He said, take it
Stand back, stand back
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you
It's alright it's alright
To be standing in a line
To be standing in a line
I would
I feel like I need a little sympathy
I feel like I need a little sympathy
I feel like I need a little sympathy,
baby
I'm just standing there
To be standing there
To be standing there
Take me home
Why don't you just take me home
Why don't you just take me home
Just standing there
Just standing there
Just standing there
Stand back
Stand back
Thank you.
I've been on the road for two solid years,
and I've just been off
for about three or four weeks,
right before the fire started.
I love you!
Thank you. I love you, too.
And I'm going to go a little bit
rogue here and actually talk
to you about what happened.
I have something here that I have to read
because it's important, but I want you
to know, for the first time in my life,
knowing that I was a full on Pacific
Palisadean woman
with an old, beautiful, famous house
that was almost taken from me as a fire
came up the hill behind my house.
And I was pretty sure, as they whisked
me away, and evacuated me, my least
favorite word now, to another safe place,
that when I turned around and looked,
my house would be up in flames.
And due to the fact that my house
was wood, because it was built in 38,
it would have set the rest
of the whole street on both sides on fire.
So, she stands strong, just like her mom.
And in my opinion,
she saved that whole street.
And so, when I look at her now,
I have yet to go back inside.
I've just walked around the house
and seen it.
And just to go like, you know what,
there is a God.
Sometimes when you think that everything
is lost, you have to believe.
Even if you're not religious,
you have to go, there is a God.
And that God saved that house for me,
because without her,
I don't know what I would have done.
So, I wanted to share that story with you.
And now, the reason it got saved is
because it was a team from Santa Rosa, the
Santa Rosa firefighters that saved her.
And they never gave up,
I have to tell you.
Not just on my house, but on the
whole side of the whole mountain canyon
that was coming up towards us.
And so, I'd like to dedicate this
next song to all of those firefighters.
Because until you really see it happen,
you can't believe it.
You just simply cannot believe
the bravery of these men.
Captain Dean, especially.
So, I'd like to dedicate
this song to them.
It's called Landslide.
["Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac]
Took my love and I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection
In the snow covered hills
Till the landslide brought me down
Oh, mirror in the sky,
what is love?
Can the child within my
heart rise above?
Can I sail through
the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons
of my life?
Uh oh, I don't know
Oh, well, I don't know
Well, I've been afraid of changing
Cause I, I built my life around you
Oh, but the time makes you bolder
Children get older
And I'm getting older, too
Yes, I'm getting older, too
So
I've been afraid of changin'
'Cause I've built my life around you
Oh, but time makes you bolder
And the children,
they get older
I'm getting older too
Oh yes, I'm getting older too
So, take this love
Take it down
Oh, if you climb that mountain
and you turn around
If you see my reflection
In the snow covered hills
Well, the landslide
will bring you down, down
And if you see my reflection in the
Snow
Covered hills
Well, the landslide will bring it down
Well, well the landslide
will bring it down
Thank you.
For a girl who lives on the stage,
it's very nerve wracking.
["Edge of Seventeen" by Stevie Nicks]
Just like the white winged dove
Sing the song,
sounds like she's singing
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Just like the white winged dove
Sing the song,
sounds like she's singing
Ooh, ooh, ooh
When the days go by like a strand
in the wind, in the web that is my own
I'll begin again
I said to my friend, baby,
you know nothin' else mattered
He was no more than a baby then
Well he is he brokenhearted?
something within him
Well, but the moment that I first laid
Eyes on him all alone
Just sat on the edge of seventeen
Just like the white winged dove
Sing the song,
sounds like she's singing
- Ooh, ooh, ooh
- Just like the white winged dove
Sing the song,
sounds like she's singing
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Well then suddenly...
there was no one left standing
In the hall well, well
In a flood of tears
That no one really ever heard fall
Oh I went searchin' for an answer
Up the stairs and down the hall
Not to find an answer...
just to hear the call
Of a nightbird
Singing come away come away
Just like the white winged dove
Sing the song,
sounds like she's singing
- Ooh, baby, ooh, say ooh
- Just like the white winged dove
Sing the song,
sounds like she's singing it to y'all
baby, ooh, say ooh
Well I hear you in the morning...
baby, I tell you but I hear it
At nightfall...
sometime to be near you
Is to be unable to hear you
My love I'm a few years
older than you are
I'm a few years older than you
Just like the white winged dove
Sing the song,
sounds like she's singing
Ooh, baby, ooh, say ooh
Just like the white winged dove
Sing the song,
sounds like she's singing
Ooh, baby, ooh, say ooh
I hear the call of a nightbird
I hear the call of a night bird
I still hear the call of a night bird
Oh she said, come away, come away
Come with me now Well, yeah
She said somewhere deep
in the middle of the night, my baby
I'll think about you
She said somewhere deep
in the middle of the night, my baby
I'll think about you
She says I know what it sounds like
I know what it sounds like
I know what it sounds like
Sounds like you,
you, you, you
I know what it sounds like
I know what it sounds like
When doves cry
Thank you everybody.
You have been totally a pleasure
to play for and an awesome audience.
And take care of yourselves
most important.
What I mostly care about
is just really take care of yourselves.
We love you.
I'm just moving,
I don't understand exactly why.
This is easy.
And now, accompanied by the Pasadena
Chorale, from Altadena, my friend, Mrs.
Katy Perry!
["Rise" by Katy Perry]
I won't just survive
Oh, you will see me thrive
Can write my story
I'm beyond the archetype
I won't just conform
No matter how you shake my core
Cause my roots,
they run deep, oh
Oh, you have so little faith
Don't doubt it, don't doubt it
Victory is in my veins
I know it, I know it
And I will not negotiate
I'll fight it
I'll fight it
I will transform
When, when the fires
at my feet again
And the vultures all start circling
They're whispering
- You're out of time, but still I rise
- Rise
This is no mistake, no accident
When you think the final nail is in
Think again
Don't be surprised
I will still rise
Thank you so much to the Pasadena chorale.
California we always rise.
And we always roar,
don't we? Let's go!
["Roar" by Katy Perry] I used
to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and
make a mess, so I sit quietly
Agreed politely I guess it
I forgot I had a choice
I let you push me past a breaking point
I stood for nothing
So I will for everything
You hug me down,
but I got up
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice
You hear that sound
Like thunder gonna shake the ground
You held me down,
but I got up
Get ready 'cause I've had enough
I see it all
I see it now
Sing it!
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion,
and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion,
and you're gonna hear me roar!
Oh, sing it!
You're gonna hear me roar
Now I'm floating like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes
I went from zero,
to my own hero
You held me down,
but I got up
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like running, gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I know
- Get ready 'cause I've had enough
- Oh, shake it up
Sing it
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion,
and you're gonna hear me roar
Oh, louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion
And you're gonna hear me roar!
No no no no no no
You're gonna hear me roar!
No no no no no no
LA!
You're gonna hear
Me roar
Thank you.
You guys.
Thank you so much for having me.
I'm so happy to be here.
To participate
in such an incredible, uplifting event.
Can we keep this energy going forever?
This is what makes us human.
This is what separates
us from the robots.
This is humanity. This is love.
This is kindness.
And I have been so inspired
by how quickly our community organized
to help all of our neighbors in need.
It really reminds me
that the people have the power.
California, you are such a unique state,
and I am so proud.
Are you so proud to be a California girl?
Yes!
Okay, let's go.
Let's show them how proud we are.
["California Gurls" by Katy Perry]
Let's go!
Let's go again.
Let's go!
Let's go.
I know a place, sing it!
- Where the grass is really greener
- That's right.
Warm, wet and wild
There must be something in the water
Sippin' gin and juice
Laying underneath the palm trees
The boys break their necks
Trying to creep a little
sneak peek at us
You could travel the world
But nothing comes close
to the golden coast
Once you party with us
You'll be falling in love
Oh, oh, ohhh
California girls, we're unforgettable
Daisy Dukes, bikinis on top
Sun kissed skin, so hot
- We'll melt your Popsicle
- Oh, oh, ohhh
California girls, we're undeniable
Fine, fresh, fierce, we got it on lock
West coast, represent, now
put your hands up
If you love California,
let's go!
Oh, oh, ohhh California
California girls
California
California girls
California
Thank you, god bless you.
LA we love you.
These dire scenes
are playing out all across L.A.
county, but evidence of resilience
emerges, neighbors uniting in their own
firefight, banding together.
When you see your next door
neighbor's house on fire,
it's really hard not to try to help out.
When the Palisades fire took off,
we fought the fires together.
- I had never met Michael.
- No.
I met Chris, who was a complete stranger,
in front of my house.
I kept on hearing on the news that there
was only one way in and one way out.
I got in my car. I found a house.
It was on fire.
I got a garden hose on it
until the firefighters came up.
My dad's a 35 year veteran fireman,
and I don't know if it was the blood
in him that got to me, but I just wanted
to get over there as quickly as I could.
We found a car that was running,
and we used that as our fire truck.
He was adamant. I was adamant.
We were not letting
this neighborhood go down.
This was something that we were
gonna do, and we were gonna...
We're gonna do it together.
We're gonna do it together.
All night long, going into people's
backyards, putting out ember fires.
Without the two of us together,
I don't think I could have done it solo.
There's a lot of emotion going on.
I mean, we're gonna be
connected forever on this.
Yeah.
We had one night,
and this is not our profession.
So I just... to all the firefighters
and first responders out there,
you're amazing, and thank you
for all the work that you did.
Everybody knows the palaces
as a very tight knit community.
This is part of my soul.
I've been there since I was a little kid.
This community is strong.
It's gonna thrive.
It's gonna come back.
["Breed" by Nirvana]

When I was an alien
Cultures weren't opinions
Gotta find a way, find a way
Well, I'm there
Gotta find a way, a better way
I'd better wait
Never met a wise man
If so it's a woman
Gotta find a way, find a way,
Well, I'm there
Gotta find a way, a better way
I'd better wait
Just because you're paranoid
Gotta find a way, find a way,
when I'm there
Gotta find a way, a better way,

Gotta find a way, find a way,
when I'm there
Gotta find a way, a better way

It's not just homes and humans
that are being impacted by these fires,
but also innocent animals.
Right over here you can see
more people coming.
With their horses.
It's not just about protecting
people and property.
Pets also need relief from these fires.
She couldn't get the cat out from under
the bed, so she had to make a choice.
But among the tragic destruction,
there are glimmers of hope and heroism.
Initially, my dad and I had came up
to check on our house and our neighbor's
horse, Sovereignty, helping my neighbors
was definitely important to me.
They helped me a lot in my riding career,
and I was really worried
about Sovereignty.
He's definitely a spooky horse.
The fire was burning everywhere around,
and I was like,
oh, this is not going to be okay.
They had already tried
to evacuate Sovereignty, but they
couldn't get him into the trailer.
He was too scared to get in.
And so, once we were up here,
I knew the only way to get him down was
to ride him down to the canyon to safety.
I think that way.
My dad was kind of skeptical at first.
I didn't think it was a great idea for us
to be driving through all the crazy
terrain, but when Kalinda decides
she's doing something,
there's no telling her no.
Sovereignty was really nervous.
The fire was burning everywhere around.
A lot of telephone poles down, rocks
in the road, traffic coming through really
fast because everybody was getting out.
Every time he got a little spooked, I
hopped down and gave him a little comfort
and we walked him through and then
got back on, walked as far as we could.
And it was kind of like that
the whole time, but I knew
that was the only way to get him down.
We ended up riding Sovereignty 10 miles.
Once I got him to safety, I felt really
relieved that he was going to be safe.
Because stuff can be replaced.
I don't think animals can.
All right, Intuit Dome.
It's time to get on your feet.
For one of hip hop's hottest artists,
Lil Baby!
["So Sorry" by Lil Baby]
- Hands up right now.
- I'm so sorry
Baby, I'm so sorry

Always thinking

Got me telling on your skin

Hope you got the answers
But I just don't know how I should ask
Like what you was doing when I called
And you didn't ask that
I seen the new ribbons on your arm
When you get that from
Why are you always that naked up
on your platform?
He told me he tried
But you ain't going to think I'm back
I'm ready to see me moving on
You think you're bad now
I take advantage of it
I really care for you
I left 10,000 roses on
the stairs for you
Hope you don't slip and fall on my love
Take care of your

They say that you done for me
Without me,
I don't see how you function
Baby, let's get flyin'

LA, how y'all doing tonight?
Before I go to my next song,
I want to just say my heart goes out
to everybody affected by the fires.
And I want to give a super,
super shout out and a round of applause
to the first responders around the world.
Hey, hands up right now.
You know this at home.
We gon' sing along with Lil Baby one time.
On three.
Right side, left side, in the back.
- One, two.
- A love letter came through the mail
They said, I miss you I ripped it
up and flushed with the tissue
Trying to forget you
I ain't got nothing against you
We human
We all got issues
But I'm tired of being tired
of being tired
That part of me didn't die
I see it and I don't act like I'm blind
I'm confident it won't be one of mine
I know emotions come with lies
So I tell the truth all the time
Ain't got no sympathy for no bitch
And I'm rich
And I'm rich
Jumping up on stages
I get 200 an occasions
Bro had really fucked the game up

The biggest OG salute me
The stylist can't even style me
The robbers probably wanna get me
I'm hopping out Lamborghini's
The youngins turn in my city
They try me

Some of this still would happen
if I never had started rapping
My people in them steady trapping
and they still be getting active
I tell them to chill
I'm tryna run up these M's
Pay cash and then need post a crib
I can't show nobody where my mama live,
that's how I 'posed to feel
My niece just asked me

The sun may rise in the East at least

And buy me a star on the boulevard
It's Californication
Space may be the final frontier,
but it's made in a Hollywood basement
And Cobain can you hear the spheres
singing songs off Station To Station?
And Alderaan's not far away,

Sometimes I feel like
I don't have a partner
Sometimes I feel like my only friend
Is the city I live in,
the city of angels
Lonely as I am, together we cry
I drive on her streets
because she's my companion
I walk through
her hill because she knows who I am
She sees my good deeds
and she kisses me windy I never worry
Now that is a lie
I don't ever want to feel
like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
I don't ever want to feel
like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
Yeah. Yeah, yeah
It's hard to believe
that there's nobody out there
It's hard to believe
that I'm all alone
At least I have heard of the shit
that she loves me
Lonely as I am, together we cry
I don't ever want to feel
like I did that day
Take me to the place I love,
take me all the way
I don't ever want
to feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love

I could not get enough
Forgot about my love
I gave my life away

Thank you for showing up LA.
Tomorrow and the day after too.
How you guys doing? Good?
Well, I'm Miles Teller. And...
Thank you, guys.
First, I just want to give a shout out.
I know there's a lot
of first responders here tonight.
There's a lot watching at home
so thank you all for keeping us safe.
Thank you.
My wife and I, like so many others living
in the Pacific Palisades, lost our home in
the fires and my heart breaks for everyone
who's been affected across the city.
Truly my heart goes out to all you guys.
And tonight I'm standing next to someone
from the Palisades who has lost a lot
and he's here to share his story with us.
And I actually just found out backstage
that we lived on the same street.
This is my neighbor.
Please meet Chad Comey.
Thanks Miles.
I lived in the Palisades
with my disabled parents.
My dad is blind. My mom's in a wheelchair.
I'm their caregiver.
Our condo had been in the family
since 1974 when my grandparents bought it.
We loved our home.
We were one of the last families
to leave the area.
When it was time to evacuate,
when it was time to evacuate,
I grabbed my neighbor and we carried my
mom down five flights of stairs.
[crowd cheering]
My dad was stubborn and stayed behind.
I was super worried about him.
I couldn't sleep that night.
He couldn't get out because of the heat
and he had to spend the night
in the underground garage.
Thankfully, he survived.
My dad was a special ed teacher
and my parents was a teacher, yeah.
And my parents lived on Social Security.
You know it. You know it.
You're living it too.
Well, we didn't have insurance.
We lost so much.
But we didn't lose everything.
We lost our photographs.
But we didn't lose our family memories.
We lost our house.
But we didn't lose our home.
We lost our residence.
But we didn't lose our resilience.
The Palisades.
This entire city. Los Angeles.
The city I call home. I love you guys.
We will persevere.
Yes, we will.
And I wanted to mention one more thing.
I heard that you are a huge Green Day fan.
Who's not?
And one of the prized possessions
that you lost in the fire was a drumstick
that you caught at one of the concerts.
Yeah.
Well, Green Day's drummer,
Trey Cool, heard about that.
And you know what?
He's got a little surprise for you.
Where's he at? Hey!

Everyone, please go to FireAidLA.org

["Driver's License" by Olivia Rodrigo]
I got my driver's license last week
Just like we always talked about
Cause you were so excited for me
To finally drive up to your house,
but today I drove through the suburbs
Crying cause you weren't
Cause you're probably
with that blonde girl
You always made me doubt
She's so much older than me
She's everything I'm insecure about
Yet today I drove through the suburbs
Cause how could I ever
love someone else?
And I know we weren't perfect
But I've never felt
this way for no one
And I just can't imagine
how you could be so okay
Now that I'm gone
Guess you didn't mean
what you wrote in that song about me
Cause you said forever
Now I drive alone past your street
And all my friends are tired.
Of hearing how much I miss you,
but I kinda feel sorry for them
Cause they'll never know you
the way that I do
Yet today I drove through the suburbs
And pictured I was driving home to you
And I know you weren't perfect
But I've never felt
this way for no one
And I just can't imagine
how you could be so okay
Now that I'm gone
Guess you didn't mean
what you wrote in that song about me
Cause you said forever
now I drive alone past your street
Red lights, stop signs
I still see your face
In the white cars, front yards
Can't drive past the places
We used to, go to
Cause I still fuckin' love you babe
Whoo, oh!
Sidewalks we crossed
I still hear your voice
In the traffic, we're laughing
Over all the noise
God I'm so blue, know we're through
But I still fuckin' love you babe
I know we weren't perfect
But I've never felt
this way for no one
And I just can't imagine
how you could be
so okay now that I'm gone
Sing it!
Audience: Guess you didn't mean
what you wrote in that song about me
Audience: Cause you said forever
now I drive alone past your street
Yeah you said forever
now I drive alone past your street
Thank you guys so much for having me.
Thank you so much for being here.
It has been so heartbreaking
to witness all of this devastation
in this incredible city.
I love LA so much.
I've lived here my whole life.
I love everybody who lives in LA.
You guys are amazing.
I find this place so beautiful
and so inspiring.
And I've written many songs
about living here in my life.
Like this one. So here it goes.

Do you call her
Almost say my name?
'Cause let's be honest

I hate to think that
I was just your type
I'll bet that she knows Billy Joel
Cause you played her uptown girl.
You're singing it together
Now I bet you even tell her
How you love her
In between the chorus and the verse
So when you're gonna tell her.
That we did that, too?
She thinks it's special,
but it's all reused
That was the show we talked about
Played you the song
She's singing now
When she's with you
Do you get deja vu?
When she's with you, you
Do you get deja vu? Ah

I hope that someone gets
my message in a bottle
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle
Message in a bottle
[audience claps]
Walked out this morning
I don't believe what I saw
A hundred billion bottles
washed up on my shore
Seems I'm not alone in being alone
A hundred billion castaways
looking for a home
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets
my message in a bottle
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle
Message in a bottle
Sending out an SOS

["Driven To Tears" by Sting]
How can you say
that you're not responsible?
What does it have to do with me?
What is my reaction, what should it be?
Confronted by this latest atrocity
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Hide my face in my hands,
shame wells in my throat
My comfortable existence is reduced
to a shallow meaningless party
Seems that when some innocent die
All we can offer them is a page
in a some magazine
Too many cameras and not enough food
'Cos this is what we've seen
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Protest is futile,
nothing seems to get through
What's to become of our world
Who knows what to do?
How can you say
that you're not responsible?
What does it have to do with me?
What is my reaction?
What should it be?
Confronted by this latest atrocity
Driven to tears Driven to tears
Driven to tears Driven to tears
Driven to tears Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Yeah...
["Fragile" by Sting]
If blood will flow
When flesh and steel are one
Drying in the color
of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain
Will wash the stains away
But something in our mind
will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch our lifetime's argument
That nothing come from violence
And nothing ever could
For all those born
beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are
We'll fall
On and on the rain
We'll fall
Like tears from the storm
Like tears from the storm
On and on the rain
will say how fragile we are
How fragile we are
Like tears from the storm
On and on the rain
We'll fall
Like tears from the storm
On and on the rain
We'll sing
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
Good night LA, thank you.
[crowd cheers]
The raw emotion of coming back to nothing.
In Altadena,
thousands more families homeless.
That's where I live, and I have nothing.
But with the shoes I have on,
everything is gone.
I'll be okay.
Even though I'm 91 years old,
I'll start over again.
The day after the fire,
we drove up towards my grandma's house.
And as we sort of turned down her street,
we saw what was left of her house,
which was just a chimney.
My grandmother's recently been
diagnosed with Alzheimer's.
It's been very, very difficult for her
to adjust to a new setting.
She's asking, when can I go home?
And I know that none of this
makes any sense to her.
I'll hear her just whispering, praying,
and just hoping for some sort of semblance
of peace, normalcy, and understanding.
The community has rallied around itself
in a way that is, it's just so beautiful.
People who I haven't spoken to since maybe
like high school, since middle school,
are checking in with me about my family
and helping in any way they can.
Whether it's dropping off water bottles
or some pajamas for my grandmother,
so like, she can feel a little bit
more comfortable in a strange bed.
LA has shown up for the community.
All of these people are able to set
aside their differences and look
at the other person and say, are you okay?
What do you need?
I believe that this is what people can be
for each other, should be for each other.
And I would just encourage us
to remember how it feels to show up
for our community in this way.
And make it our mission
and effort to do that every day.
And next up, we have one
of the biggest names in Latin music.
Peso Pluma.
["La Bebe" By Peso Pluma]
In Spanish:
Latinos from Los Angeles!
[singing in Spanish]
In Spanish:
Thank You L.A. and all my Latinos!
[crowd cheering]
The devastating fires
are leaving families without homes,
jobs, and necessities.
But an incredible wave of kindness
is bringing hope.
There are firefighters from Mexico
and Canada
on the ground to lend their support.
North Texans are answering
California's call for help.
As a wildfire disaster deepens,
the City of Angels living up to its name.
I'm a primary care physician, board
certified to see pediatrics and adults.
And so the idea was to open up a physical
space where people could walk in if they
needed a refill of a medication or they
wanted to be evaluated for respiratory
conditions that have worsened through the
fires or just had general health questions
about what they could do
to keep themselves
safe and healthy as the city clears,
as the smoke clears, and as we all kind
of rebuild our health and our communities.
I am so grateful to be of service
to so many people because our city just
really needs support right now and that's
the beautiful thing that's happening.
The people that are coming together
right now from every direction, um.
I'm going to cry
because it really affected me.
People, I know.
But there's a lot of people
that don't know anyone that was affected
and they care too.
And I think that's the most
important thing is that everyone's
coming together right now.
We don't need to be superheroes.
We don't need to save the world.
But a bunch of small acts
of kindness really add up.
We're going to be able to rebuild
and stay together as a community.
Seeing the people fight for everything
that we have built and banded together
to keep it going and not watch it burn.
That's why we're strong.
As long as we stay together,
I think we're going to be okay.
From the first moment I heard her
exquisite voice, I became a devotee.
Here she is with her brother,
Finneas LA's very own Billie Eilish
[crowd cheering]
What's going on?
Hi, guys.
Thanks for being here.
Thank you for having me.
I feel very lucky to be here.
This is my brother.
Turn me up.
We're going to do
some little acoustic songs.
So they'll be pretty quiet and chill.
So if you want to sit
or whatever, you can.
- Audience Member: No.
- No, okay. Ready?
["Wildflower" by Billie Eilish]
Things fall apart
And time breaks your heart
I wasn't there, but I know
She was your girl
You showed her the world
But fell out of love
and you both let go
She was cryin' on my shoulder
All I could do was hold her
Only made us closer until July
Now I know that you love me
You don't need to remind me I should
Put it all behind me, shouldn't I?
But I see her in the back of my mind
All the time
Like a fever
like I'm burning alive, like the sun
Hmm
Did I cross the line?
Well, good things don't last
And life moves so fast
I'd never ask who was better
'Cause she couldn't be
more different from me
Happy and free in leather
And I know that you love me
You don't need to remind me
Wanna put it all behind me
Baby, I see her
In the back of my mind
All the time
Feels like a fever, like I'm
Burning alive, like the sun
I cross the line
[vocalizing]
[vocalizing]
[vocalizing]
Remember
Do you see her
in the back of your mind
In my eyes?
[humming tune]
You say no one knows you so well
But every time you touch me
I just wonder how she felt
Valentine's day crying in the hotel
I know you didn't mean to hurt me
so I kept it to myself
[crowd cheering]
I love you.
Thank you for being so sweet.
[giggle]
I feel very honored
to be on this stage tonight.
[clearing throat]
[cheering]
["The Greatest" by Billie Eilish]
[high-pitched scream]
In trying my best
To keep you satisfied
And let you get your rest
While I stayed up all night
[high-pitched scream]
And you don't want to know
How alone I've been
Let you come and go
[sobbing]
Whatever state I'm in
[harmonizing]
Man am I the greatest
My congratulations
All my love and patience
All my admiration
All the times I waited
For you to want me naked
I made it all look painless
Man, am I the greatest
[harmonizing]
[humming tune]
Doing what's right
Without a reward
[speaking]
[singing]
[speaking]
And we don't have to fight
[singing]
When it's not worth fighting for
[humming tune]
And you don't wanna know
Just what I would've done
Anything at all
Worse than anyone
And man, am I the greatest
My congratulations
All my love and patience
All my admiration
And all the times I waited
For you to want me naked
I made it all look painless
Man, am I the greatest
Greatest
The greatest
[singing]
[humming tune]
[singing]
I, I loved you
And I still do
Just wanted passion from you
Just wanted what I gave you
And I waited
And waited
Man, am I the greatest
God, I hate it
All my love and patience
Unappreciated
You said your heart was jaded
You couldn't even break it
I shouldn't have to say it
You could've been the greatest
Thank you.
Um, well,
I just, I love you all so much.
And I,
It's really nice to be here tonight.
And just, it just feels all really,
like, hopeful and good in here.
And I just appreciate all of you.
And I just feel honored to be here.
And I, it's a really, really scary time.
And it's been so devastating.
And LA is, like, my favorite place
in the world and my only home.
And I've, uh, my brother and I, you know,
grew up here and live here.
And it's the greatest place in the world.
And I care about it so much.
And it's just been so, so, so,
so devastating what's going on.
Um, so, so, to everyone
who is experiencing this.
I love you. And I got you.
And we will not forget about you.
And we're gonna keep doing this for you.
Um, anyway.
Thank you for having us.
And this is the last one.
It's called Birds of a Feather.
["birds of a feather" by Billie Eilish]
[humming tune]
[singing]
I want you to stay
[crowd murmuring]
Until I'm in the grave
[audience member] I love you!
Until I rot away, dead and buried
Until I'm in the casket you carry
If you go, I'm going too
Cause it was always you
All right
And if I'm turning blue,
please don't save me
Nothing left to lose without my baby
Birds of a feather
We should stick together
I know
I said I'd never think
I wasn't better alone
Can't change the weather
Might not be forever
But if it's forever, it's even better
And I don't know what I'm crying for
I don't think I could love you more
Might not be long. But baby, I...
I love you till the day that I die
Until the day that I die
Till the light leaves my eyes
Until the day that I die
I want you to see
[speaking]
Just how you look to me
You wouldn't believe if I told you
You would keep
the compliments I throw you
But you're so full of shit
[singing]
Tell me it's a bit
No one would say you don't see it
Your mind's polluted
Say you wanna quit
Don't be stupid
And I don't know what I'm cryin' for
I don't think I could love you more
It might not be long, but baby,
I don't wanna say goodbye
Birds of a feather
We should stick together
I know I said I'd never
Think I wasn't better alone
Can't change the weather
Might not be forever
But if it's forever,
it's even better
And I...
I knew you in another life
You had that same look in your eyes
I love you
Don't act so surprised
[humming]
Thank you so much.
This is my brother, Finneas, by the way.
I love you, Los Angeles.
I will always fight for you.
I love you.
Thank you.
LA will be rebuilt.
For sure.
Right now,
we're responding to the emergency.
But then comes the reconstruction.
When we see people who have lost their
homes, lost their jobs, their business,
this is when we come together.
It's been a pouring of love.
Being able to see the city
come together and help each other.
You know they're not alone.
LA is strong
because it's a very resilient,
not just city, but also community.
This is a moment in time that we're going
to remember in our city's history.
All of the first and now second responders
coming and utilizing every skill that
they have with precision, with urgency,
in the name of love for Los Angeles.
People are here
because they want to be here.
Regardless of whether they were born
or raised here, LA is their home.
And we're really good about coming
together when people need help.
I feel like we cut from a different cloth.
Like Kendrick said, you know, Snoop said,
like, we all got our definitions
of the cloth, but like, it's cut from LA.
You always treat people
how you want to be treated.
We all need help sometimes.
And it's good to know that there
are people who will have your back.
I can tell you I'm grateful.
And that LA, there's love here.
When we're able to work shoulder to
shoulder, I don't think there's anything
that LA can't handle or do.
And we will rebuild in new beautiful ways
whenever things like this may happen.
Please give it up for one of the greatest
artists of all time, Stevie Wonder!
I thank you.
For allowing me to be a part of us giving.
In this world today,
we have no time for blaming.
We have no time for shaming.
We need to have prayer and come together
as a united people of the world.
[audience clapping]
It breaks my heart for those that have
lost, not only those who have lost their,
some who have lost their lives.
So we need to pray and thank God
for those who are alive and pray for those
who have lost that we will allow, with
our giving, to help them to get themselves
back on their feet again.
I love you and I thank God for giving
me the gift of song to sing to you.
I want to sing a song that I wrote.
It's still so relevant.
Love's in need of love today.
[audience clapping]

Holy shit.
Hi, I'm Olivia Rodrigo.
Have you had a good night?
How can you not have had a good night?
I mean, Stevie and Flea and Sting,
three guys with one
name apiece are here.
I mean, we needed a good night.
We had a lot of bad nights, but here we
are sharing love and music and probably
The Norovirus, but I think it's worth it.
This is what a magical show.
What an incredible night.
Thank you to all the artists
who volunteered their time
and talent to lift us up
Thanks to the Azov family
for making this happen.
Thanks to Steve Ballmer
for opening his dome to us
And thanks to those of you
watching around the world
This city,
for all the things they say about us,
when Hurricane Harvey hit,
we were there.
When Katrina devastated New Orleans,
we were there.
When Hurricane Maria
ravaged Puerto Rico, we were there.
The people in this city,
many of the people in this room,
Helped to raise more than $200 million
for other cities hit by natural disasters.
And now we are helping our own.
So many people I know.
So many of you, even some of the people
who were on stage tonight,
lost their homes, lost everything.
And when you did, we wrapped our arms
around each other immediately,
all across Los Angeles, from
Malibu to the Pacific
Palisades to Altadena
Warehouses are filled with more
donations than most of the centers
could even handle.
To this day, in a lot of places,
they have too many volunteers.
They have to turn them away.
This is a tragedy
that hurt everyone who lives here,
and it will continue to hurt
for many years.
But it's also brought us
much closer together.
And I am very grateful,
especially for our firefighters.
If you're here, please raise your hands
and show yourselves.
Thanks to our firefighters from here
in LA, from all over the country,
from Canada and Mexico
and our friends around the world.
Thanks to the rescue workers,
the first responders.
Raise your hands to the prisoners
who risked their lives for $10 a day.
Thanks to the volunteers and the chefs
and the teachers and artists
and store owners and charities
who've been doing everything they can.
I also want to thank you for being here
tonight and for being there tomorrow, too.
This isn't over. We need you.
We need your help.
Please make a donation to FireAidLA.org.
100% of the money goes to short term
relief and long term efforts to rebuild.
Thank you.
And now to close out this beautiful night,
to heal us with her spirit and her talent,
Please give a big, warm, sloppy L.A
welcome to Lady Gaga.
[crowd cheering]
I love you so much.
I love you so much.
Thank you so much for having me tonight.
All right, let's do this.
["Shallow" by Lady Gaga]
Tell me something, girl
[cheering]
Are you happy in this modern world?
Or do you need more?
Is there something else
you're searching for?
I'm falling
In all the good times,
I find myself
Longing for change
And in the bad times,
I fear myself
Tell me something, boy
Aren't you tired
tryin' to fill that void
Oh, do you need more?
Ain't it hard? Keepin' it so hardcore
I'm falling
In all the good times, I find myself
Longing for change
And in the bad times, I fear myself
I'm off the deep end
Watch as I dive in
I'll never meet the ground
Crash through the surface
where they can't hurt us
We're far from the shallow now
In the shallow, shallow
In the shallow, shallow
In the shallow, shallow
We're far from the shallow now
Oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
I'm off the deep end
Watch as I dive in
I'll never meet the ground
Crash through the surface
Where they can't hurt us
We're far from the shallow now
In the shallow, shallow
In the shallow, shallow
In the shallow, shallow
We're far from the shallow now
[crowd cheering]
Thank you.
Thank you. I love you.
This has been a horrible, scary time.
But during these times,
I feel like people come together
and we see how much we need each other.
And I want to always remember us
just like this.
["Always Remember Us This Way"
by Lady Gaga]
That California sky
Burning in your eyes
You look at me
and know this fear in my desire
It's buried in my soul
Like California gold
You found the light in me
that I couldn't find
So when I'm all choked up
and I can't find the words
Every time we say goodbye,
baby, it hurts
When the sun goes down
And the band won't play
I'll always remember us this way
Come on.
Lovers in the night
Poets tryin' to write
We don't know how to rhyme
but damn we try
But all I really know is
You're where I want to go
The part of me that you will never die
So when I'm all choked up
and I can't find the words
Every time we say goodbye,
baby, it hurts
When the sun goes down
And the band won't play
I'll always remember us this way
I don't wanna be just a memory,
baby yeah
So when I'm all choked up
and I can't find the words
Every time we say goodbye,
baby it hurts
When the sun goes down
And the band won't play
I'll always remember us this way
Way
When you look at me
And the whole world fades
I'll always remember us
This way
[humming tune]
Alright.
When I was thinking about
what to sing tonight, I thought I wanted
to do something hopeful for you
And I was thinking about my songs
and there wasn't anything
that seemed quite right.
So me and my friend Michael,
my fiance, my love,
we wrote this song for you.
It's just for tonight. It's just for you.
I think we all need
a lot of things right now.
But I think something
we may also need is time.
Time is a healer.
Come on, listen to the words I say
I love you, baby, babe
I love you, baby, babe
You've been putting up
with hard hard days
Don't worry, baby, babe
Don't worry, baby, babe
Wish god could find a different way
to remind me what's it like to pray
Wish that I could
turn the storm around
If I can, I'll find a different way
All I need is time
All I need is time
All I need is time
To heal my broken wings
and then I'll soar
All I need is time
To leave it all behind
All I need is time
to leave it all behind
I keep moving forward
All the hurt is keeping you too tough
I know it, baby, babe
I know it, baby, babe
You're so empty you fill your cup
Don't worry, baby, babe
Don't worry, baby, babe
Wish that God
could find a different way
To remind me what it's like to pray
Wish that I could
turn the storm around
If I can, I'll find a different way
All I need is time
All I need is time
All I need is time to heal my broken
wings and then I'll soar
I love you, California.
All I need is time
To leave it all behind
All I need is time
To leave it all behind
Keep moving forward
Wish that God
could find a different way
To remind me what it's like to pray
Wish that I could
turn the storm around
If I can, I'll find a different way
All I need is time
All I need is time
All I need is time
to heal my broken wings
And then I'll soar
All I need is time
And then I'll leave it all behind
All I need is time
to leave it all behind
And keep moving forward
All I need is time
All I need is time
All I need is time
to heal my broken wings
And then I'll soar
All I need is time
To leave it all behind
All I need is time
to leave it all behind
We'll keep moving forward
[audience clapping]
I love you so much!
Get home safely I love you.
