Stones Play Free Concert in LA

The Rolling Stones gave a free concert in Los Angeles for an environmental cause--Bill Clinton was the warmup speaker.
Once the Stones committed to do the free concert for the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), the nonprofit organization distributed 12,000 tickets via sweepstakes to anyone who wanted them. ... Clinton urged the crowd to demand cars that use cleaner fuel, lightbulbs that are more energy-efficient and increased use of solar power. The crowd cheered.
The concert came to be largely due to the work of Steven Bing, Hollywood producer and heir to an estimated $600-million real estate fortune and a major donor to the environmentally conscious NRDC.
