Concerts for the People of Kampuchea

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Concerts for the People of Kampuchea was a series of concerts featuring Wings, The Who, Queen, Elvis Costello, The Pretenders, The Clash and many more artists which took place at the Hammersmith Odeon in London, England during December 1979 to raise money for the victims of Pol Pot's reign of terror in Cambodia. The event was organized by Paul McCartney and Kurt Waldheim, and it involved older artists such as McCartney and The Who as well as younger new wave acts like The Clash and the Pretenders. The last of the concerts was the last concert of Wings. An album and EP were released in 1981, and the best of the concerts were released as a film, Concert for Kampuchea.

Rockestra was a McCartney-led supergroup of at least thirty English rockers. (The credited list appears at the bottom of the back cover of the LP). The "Rockestra Theme" won a Grammy for Best Rock Instrumental Performance.
