The show was a 9/11 Benefit show to aid the families of the  policemen and firemen who had died in the 9/11 terrorist attack. on the World Trade Center in New York city.  My wife Sweet Loretta was the one who had the idea of enlisting the Freelance Vandals to do a benefit concert.  At that time, Loretta, and I owned a restaurant called Big Daddy's in Massapequa, NY and in addition to raising funds to help the families of the first responders, we also wanted to find a way to raise some money to help  the families of all of the restaurant workers who were at work in the Windows on the World Restaurant in the North Tower of the World Trade Center that fateful morning and perished when American Airlines Flight 11 penetrated the building.

The show featured almost all of the members of the Freelance Vandals from 1977 to 1984 

Sadly, the only band member who wasn't at the show  was our great sax player,
