Rapper and Mogul Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter held a star-studded sold-out concert last Friday night for his "Answer the Call" concert, which paid tribute to the police officers and firefighters who died responding to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The concert aired on Fuse TV, all proceeds from tickets and concert merchandise were donated to the New York Police and Fire Widows' and Children's Benefit Fund.
The Pledge of Allegiance kicked off the show, followed by "The Star-Spangled Banner".
Jay-Z opened with his own New York anthems — including "Empire State of Mind"; "Where I'm From," a song about his childhood living in the Marcy projects in Brooklyn.
Jay-Z, 39, performed over 30 songs from his 11 albums in a two-hour set with a myriad of surprise special guests who came out to help celebrate from John Mayer, Mary J. Blige, Pharell Williams, Beyonce, Swizz Beats, Rihanna and Kanye West.

I missed the concert and sure wish I can see the repeat - do you have any idea how I can catch the repeat of the show? Also I am looking forward to your thoughts on Kanye at the MTV Awards - making a fool out of himself & your thoughts on Serena Williams cursing out the Judge at the US OPEN - LOL!
Didn't make it but I heard it was a kick-ass concert!! people were begging to get in there.
