Live Earth concert, Washington, D.C.

The Live Earth concert in Washington, D.C., officially known as "Mother Earth",[1][2] was held on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., United States and was sponsored by and held on the premises/venue of the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian.

The Washington Post reported the U.S. capital had been Gore's first choice for the main concert, but the National Mall was booked.

[crowd is cheering] And it wasn't the cavalry who came to our rescue, it was the American Indians," Gore said during brief opening remarks carried live on the website [1].

Others watched Gore speak and Brooks play from what event organizers called a "JumboTron" outside the immediate viewing area.

Due to last minute organizing, there were no working audio speakers that could project sound to the JumboTron viewers.
