It's over now! A quick summary:

It was a mix of appearances broadcast from all over the place (artists' home, home studios, etc) and never-before-seen clips from old shows. In a nice touch, each artist was introduced by a veteran or family member(s) of a veteran. There were also some pre-recorded interviews with Brandon Flowers, Verdine White, Drew Carey, Alice Cooper, Steven Van Zandt, and Ringo Starr. Joe himself, as I said above, participated in a live chat alongside the video, and also had some "emcee" bits in between songs as well where he would encourage folks to donate and such. Joe also talked about being a member of a "gold star family" and visiting Walter Reed Hospital. There were a handful of short videos giving information about worthwhile organizations such as T.A.P.S., but those were few and far between. It was definitely chock full of music.
