Will. I. Am. to recreate "Yes We Can" video live at Invesco
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/08/27/william-to-perform-at-invesco/

DENVER (CNN) – The Emmy-winning “Yes We Can” video that spliced together clips of Barack Obama’s New Hampshire primary night speech and set it to music, will be re-created live on stage at Invesco Field in Denver Thursday night before the Illinois senator accepts the Democratic presidential nomination there.

The video, which appeared shortly before Super Tuesday, became an Internet sensation. It was adopted by the Obama campaign, and used often on the trail.

Black Eyed Peas frontman Will.i.am — who produced the celebrity-packed video — will perform Thursday evening, backed by singer John Legend and a full gospel choir.

Singers Sheryl Crow and Stevie Wonder will also take the stage for the final night of the Democratic convention.

6. That's perfect - I'm torn between watching tomorrow's big event at...
...a party with my Obama peeps or watching it quietly from home, where I won't miss a single minute. Either way - what a great night it's gonna be!
