Apparently it was at 2:20 and thus not in HBO's coverage. I foolishly assumed that HBO was covering the entire concert, not just most of it. Thanks in advance.

Robinson will be part of star-studded event

Associated Press - January 17, 2009 12:05 PM ET


WASHINGTON (AP) - When New Hampshire's Episcopal bishop gives the invocation to kick off the inaugural festivies in Washington tomorrow, he'll be followed by a star-studded concert featuring many celebrities.

The free concert, which will be broadcast on HBO, includes perfomances by Bruce Springsteen, U2, Beyonce, Usher, Garth Brooks and Stevie Wonder. Denzel Washington, Jamie Foxx, Martin Luther King III and Queen Latifah will give readings, and President-elect Barack Obama will stop by.

Gay rights groups rejoiced when Obama picked Gene Robinson, the first openly gay Episcopal bishop, to lead prayers at the event. Gay advocates had assailed Obama when he invited the Rev. Rick Warren, a Southern Baptist who opposes gay marriage, to deliver the inaugural invocation on Tuesday.
