1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: Get your heads together and we're going to start to party.

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 2: And to start a part I'm reading a party the

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 2: Elvis DA Ran after party.

4
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 3: You know.

5
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 4: Back in nineteen eighty five, God's Love We Deliver started

6
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,760
Speaker 4: here in New York City. I believe it started actually

7
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 4: to feed home bound patients with AIDS. Right, is that

8
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 4: how it started?

9
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 1: That's correct, And a lot of people still think that's

10
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: what they do, but today, in fact, they feed people

11
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: with over two hundred different life altering illnesses.

12
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 4: So Greg, by the way, no stranger to New York City,

13
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 4: his family and he had been involved in the real

14
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 4: estate business for so many years. But you decided you

15
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 4: wanted to do more than sell real estate and arguably

16
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 4: the best real estate market in the world. You thought

17
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 4: you'd want to give back. And how did you merge

18
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 4: into God's Love We Deliver.

19
00:00:58,360 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 5: My wife and I got involved.

20
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: We had parents, unfortunately, who were very sick, and we

21
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: saw how important it was for them to be fed

22
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: and fed nutritious meals when they were ill, and so

23
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: we looked around for an organization to get involved in,

24
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: and we went to God's Love and we never turned back.

25
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 5: It's just the work they do is incredible.

26
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: They're not just a hunger organization, they are a nutrition organization,

27
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: and they're feeding people who are too sick to cook

28
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: or shop for themselves. And beyond the great work that

29
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: they do, the people that are there are just extraordinary.

30
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 5: It's an incredible community.

31
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: And a couple of years later I had the idea

32
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: for this big benefit concert and here we are ten

33
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 1: years later.

34
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, so we're talking about the big concert. It's tomorrow,

35
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 4: the tenth annual Love Rocks NYC Benefit Concert for God's

36
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 4: Love We Deliver, produced by you, Greg Williamson. It takes

37
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 4: a lot of work to put these shows together, especially

38
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 4: when you see all the marquee talent that you have

39
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 4: on that stage.

40
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: It's an insane, all year long endeavor that I do

41
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: with my co producers John Varvados and Nicole Rector, And honestly,

42
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: we start working on this show the.

43
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 5: Day after the show happens.

44
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 1: Wow. And it's you know, because if you're not raising money,

45
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: you're out there trying to get talent. And the talent

46
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: is so generous and they always step up for this cause.

47
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: But as you guys know, they have a million other

48
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: asks and a million other commitments, so We're out there

49
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: constantly fishing and constantly going out to people, and you know,

50
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: everybody sees it when it's done, but it ain't easy

51
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: making the sauce.

52
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 3: How do you guys decide who you're gonna invite to

53
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 3: come be part of this.

54
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: Part of that is, you know, our taste, and part

55
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: of it is artists that we think are going to

56
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: resonate with the crowd, and you know, you want to

57
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: have household names on it, and we like to have

58
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: artists on there that people don't necessarily know, but we

59
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: know are going to blow the audience away from their

60
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: perform rmans, so we try and mix it up.

61
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 5: And we also always like.

62
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 1: To invite some people back because Love Rocks is such

63
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: a family and there's this community feeling with the whole

64
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: concert that it's cool to have some of the alumni

65
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: there as well as new ones every year.

66
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: I was going to ask you, how do people always

67
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 2: say like, Hey, I had such a great time.

68
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 4: It's such a great cause, I want to do it again.

69
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 1: They often invite themselves back, and we usually want them, actually,

70
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: we always want them, but sometimes, you know, the lineup

71
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: is too full, or sometimes we're trying to switch it up.

72
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: But I think one of the testaments to how great

73
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: this concert is is that you have artists who are

74
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: just coming back year after year. I mean, this is

75
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: the third or fourth year that Hosier has done it.

76
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 4: Wow, Wow, Wow Hoder. Let me give you the list. This,

77
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 4: of course, the tenth annual Love Rocks NYC Benefit Concert.

Speaker 4: I see on your list. Look at this? Really?

79
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:58,320

81
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:02,400

00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 4: Goo Goo Dolls, Hoziers back. The guy that we love

85
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 4: more than anyone. John Batiste will be there.

86
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 5: He's unbelievable, total genius. Yeah, Mary J.

87
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 4: Blige and Nile Rodgers and she, oh Sheik's gonna be there.

88
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 4: Are these still around? I don't know, but she freak out?

89
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 4: You know what I'm talking about.

90
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 5: Total Simon.

91
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: You know, Paul Simon is such an iconic New Yorker

92
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: and he's Paul Simon. We don't need to say anymore.

93
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: But he hasn't done a big benefit concert in such

94
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: a long time, so for him to come back to

95
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: doing one that is a the ten year anniversary of

96
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: this concert, but more importantly, forty years of God's Love

97
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: is what the show is celebrating.

98
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 5: I can't think of a better artist to headline the show.

99
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 4: And of course you're in good hands. Our friend Darren

100
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 4: Feffer from DPS is past in defeb absolutely so okay,

101

102
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 5: There are no tickets available.

103
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: It is sold out, but you can live stream the show.

104
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: Go to LOVEROCKSNYC dot com. It's twenty four ninety nine.

105
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: You will be getting an extremely fair trade for that

106
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 1: twenty four and ninety nine. It's going to be three

107
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: and a half hours of incredible music. But the show

108
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: moves so quickly because every artist really does two numbers,

109
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: and we have an insane house band, as you said,

110
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: Elvis led by Will Lee, so there's no changeovers. Everybody

111
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: just keeps coming and coming. There are people that watch

112
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: this show just as much to watch the production aspect

113
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: of it as they do the artists that play it.

114
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: So you know, and every every dollar goes.

115
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 5: To God's Love.

135
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: helping people. And God's Love has the largest commercial kitchen

136

142
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,480
