An amazing array of artists including Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen, U2, John Mellencamp, Usher, Pete Seeger, James Taylor, Herbie Hancock, Josh Groban, Garth Brooks, Mary J. Blige, Sheryl Crow and John Legend, and a long list of speaker/celebs performed on the front porch of the Lincoln Memorial on January 20, 2009. Here are just a couple on/back stage shots.
