MANHATTAN,
USA – The concert dubbed
“Gimme Shelter: Rock and
Rescue NYC” included multiple
local punk and grunge artists
who excited the audience at
the Maritime Hotel on October
4 to raise money against animal
cruelty. In only their second
appearance this year, the Beastie
Boys took the stage for an hour,
playing hits from 1986s “License
to Ill” album through
to 2004s “To The 5 Boroughs.”
Concertgoers paid US$50 for
general admission tickets and
up to US$875 for VIP tickets.
All of the profits from the
exclusive show went to New York’s
Rational Animals and the national
American Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA).
Rational Animals helps homeless
animals across the city and
aims to make NYC a no-kill city
by 2010. On October 4, they
moved closer to their goal with
the help of homegrown musicians.
