Forgot to check the stream. How was it? I was in and out during most of it. I think it streamed for 3 hours. Ruben, Kirk Franklin, Kelly Price, Estelle and a few more that I can't think of, performed during the first part with the orchestra. They all did inspirational music. Ruben performed the praise song, Let It Rise. I was kind of distracted by his scarf that was not straight. I'm not sure that the next part was in the same location but it was done with a band, a better sound system, and less commotion on stage. Maybe that'll be the televised part? Not sure. All the events prior to the concerts seemed to be events of a life-time but to me, the concerts were not organized to fit an occasion like that. It was great though to see so many artists donating their time and wanting to be a part of the event.

I just watched the show today. Ruben did a good job. I'm glad he was on early because I wasn't feeling the last part of the show and checked out early.
