More than 20 artists from various genres took to the stage for the five-hour show, which is happening simultaneously at two large venues in the city and raising money for wildfire relief efforts.
Actor Billy Crystal welcomed the crowd at the Kia forum, wearing clothes he had on when he escaped the Pacific Palisades fire earlier this month.
"You'll be hearing from a number of people who were tragically affected by these fires, and I was one of them," Crystal said as he opened the show.
He had lived in the area for 46 years and spoke poignantly about losing his home.
