Free concert and Netcast….
NEW YORK (AP) - Friday August 27 - Sheryl Crow and Eric Clapton will perform a free concert in
Central Park next month that will be broadcast live on TV, radio and the
Internet.
The Sept. 14 concert will take place in the park's East Meadow, where the Dalai
Lama spoke earlier this month. Concert sponsor American Express will distribute
some 25,000 tickets in New York in the week preceding the concert, Parks
Department spokesman Robert Lawson said.
Those interested in attending would have to play a free lottery-like instant
game, with winners receiving two tickets each.
The concert is billed as "Sheryl Crow and friends, including Eric Clapton." Lawson
did not know who the additional "friends" would be.
