1. Yes, I am. Watching from home, in the recliner, with cats curled up on me.

Been singing along, though a couple of the cats have looked at me funny, and one jumped off my lap with a look of disgust and ears back, lol.

2. Great version of "Over The Rainbow" by Rufus Wainwright

3. I thought it was a little too dirge like, but he has a gorgeous voice.

Not sure how the sound is for you, but on my t.v. the sound is going from being really loud to almost nonexistent.

5. I thought it was great. I'm a Rufus Wainwright fan.

Also a fan of his father, folk singer Loudon Wainwright III who appeared as the singing soldier in several episodes of M*A*S*H in the early 70's. I've been watching on my laptop and the sound has been occasionally inconsistent, but mostly fine.

10. Loved it and him. But the sound on the single mic was messed up the whole concert.

9. Always great to see her. Still speaking out strong at age 79!

And God Bless Jane Fonda who remains fantastic at the young age of 88!

11. I watched the entire thing. It was a great event!

I wonder why they didn’t have Jesse Welles there. He sings some great protest songs.

13. It was well worth the watch.

The sound system was kinda glitchy, though.

14. Loved it but....

Somehow the subtitles didn't work well. so I missed a lot of the dialog. It was as if the subtitler would fall asleep then wake up. You would get 1/2 of the sentence or paragraph, then it would quit and pick up a few sentences later with nothing in between.
