A Featured Tribute Lens to the Last Beatles Concert Ever

Squidster has done an amazing job capturing the spirit of the last concert by the Beatles.

The Last Beatles Concert EVER

Make a Virtual Concert Lens

Making lens to contribution to the Virtual Concert Lens is simple. All it just takes is just a little bit of time. To get started:

1. Pick your favorite band, group or person as the focus of your Virtual Rock Concert or Virtual Concert.

Start by clicking the "Make a Lens" button on this page (or in the right sidebar).

2. Be sure that you select your favorite charity, like the Squidoo Charity Fund, as the beneficiary for the lens Payment Options.

3. Add a Text Module to Plug the Virtual Concert Series. See the next module below.

4. Publish your lens. Please be sure that you submit a quality lens and no "adult" rated lenses. We are trying to generate funds for a good cause.

Virtual Concert Week on Squidoo

U2 talks about the One Campaign in every concert they have. Coldplay talks about Oxfam International. A stage with thousands of screaming adoring fans is a good time to promote a good cause.

Remember "We Are the World"? Farm Aid? Band Aid? All hosted to raise money for causes. How? Bands got together to perform, raise awareness and donate money. What a great idea!

Summer is concert season. It seems like all bands go on tour. Nothing like live music on a warm summer night!

What if you could host a benefit concert? You have a cause that's important to you. What better way to have it announced than by your favorite performer in a room full of people who paid big bucks to get there?

This is the point of the Virtual Concert Week on Squidoo.

Who would you pick and what cause would you raise money for? Make a lens and tell us about it!

The Squidoo Virtual Concert Series has it's own Rock Star Squid or a Squidoo Rockstar designed especially for the project.

More Squidoo Musicians

Since the Virtual Concert is open to all types of musical genres, I decided we needed a few more Musical Squids to meet the needs of the other types of music.
