THE ACOUSTIC FOR A CURE CONCERT IS AN ANNUAL EVENT CREATED BY BAY AREA ROCK LEGENDS SAMMY HAGAR AND JAMES HETFIELD. THE GOAL OF THE CONCERT IS TO RAISE NEEDED FUNDS AND AWARENESS FOR THE PEDIATRIC CANCER PROGRAM AT UCSF BY BRINGING TOGETHER SOME OF THEIR LEGENDARY FRIENDS AND THROWING A MUST SEE CONCERT. IN PAST YEARS, ARTISTS HAVE INCLUDED GREEN DAY’S BILLIE JOE ARMSTRONG, JERRY CANTRELL, TRAIN’S PAT MONAHAN, MOTLEY CRUE’S TOMMY LEE, LINDA PERRY, CHAD SMITH, BOB WEIR, NANCY WILSON, JOE SATRIANI, A SURPRISE APPEARANCE FROM ADAM SANDLER AND MANY MORE. LAST YEAR WAS SPECTACULAR WITH PERFORMANCES FROM TOM JOHNSTON OF THE DOOBIE BROTHERS, CHAD KROEGER OF NICKELBACK, LUKAS NELSON, JOE SATRIANI, RICK SPRINGFIELD, NANCY WILSON OF HEART, AND SAMMY HAGAR AND THE CIRCLE. HERE ARE SOME OUTSTANDING MOMENTS FROM LAST YEAR AND PAST SHOWS.
HERE WAS THE FIRST SONG OF THE NIGHT 2019 WITH SAMMY HAGAR, ANN WILSON, SATRIANI, JASON BONHAM, AND MICHAEL ANTHONY AND IT WAS SPECTACULAR
THIS MIGHT BE THE GREATEST PERFORMANCE I’VE EVER SEEN !! MELISSA ETHERIDGE KILLED IT
