Rock for Kampuchea
# Rock for Kampuchea

Rock for Kampuchea, conosciuto anche come Concerts for the People of Kampuchea (in italiano, "Concerti per il popolo della Cambogia") fu una serie di concerti di beneficenza per il popolo della Cambogia.

Artisti come Queen, The Clash, The Pretenders, The Who, Elvis Costello e Wings furono radunati da Paul McCartney e Kurt Waldheim, organizzatori dell'evento, all'Hammersmith Odeon di Londra, Regno Unito tra il 26 e il 29 dicembre 1979, a favore delle vittima di guerra del paese asiatico, per cui decisero di organizzare queste serate, aperte dai Queen il 26 e chiuse dai Wings il 29 dicembre.

Dalle serate, a cui parteciparono circa 35.000 persone, venne pubblicato un album, Concerts for the People of Kampuchea, uscito il 30 marzo 1981.

Rockestra era un supergruppo, guidato da McCartney e composto da almeno venti rocker inglesi: John Bonham, Billy Bremner, Gary Brooker, Howie Casey, Tony Dorsey, Dave Edmunds, Steve Holley, James Honeyman-Scott, Steve Howard, Kenney Jones, John Paul Jones, Laurence Juber, Denny Laine, Ronnie Lane, Linda McCartney, Paul McCartney, Robert Plant, Thadeus Richard, Bruce Thomas, Pete Townshend.
