An all-star musical lineup that crosses genres and generations will band together at Madison Square Garden this evening for the “12-12-12″ Sandy relief concert.

Helping to kick off the concert will be Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band at 7:30 p.m. Other featured acts include Alicia Keys, Billy Joel, Kanye West, Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton and The Who. Specific set-lists haven’t been announced, a spokeswoman for Madison Square Garden said.

The concert is sold out, but organizers say the concert will be available to “nearly two billion” people across the globe on TV and on the Web.

If you want to watch, there are several options.Thirty-four television stations will broadcast the concert, including AMC, the Smithsonian Channel and HBO. Additionally, another 30 websites — including Hulu, AOL and Yahoo YHOO -0.38% — will stream the show live. Two Sirius XM stations, Channel 20 and Channel 22, will play the show.

Money from the benefit concert will go to the Robin Hood Foundation, a New York City group. More details are available on the concert’s website. Speakeasy will cover the concert from inside Madison Square Garden, so check in later for more.

Lots more musicians: just read Eddie Vetter will be performing with Roger Waters. Sounds good to me! Give generously if you can; the east coast is still a nightmare.
