People for the most part will have turned in to watch their favorite performer and not because they have some undying love for the enviroment that will be confirmed by a lead singer
You kind of missed the whole idea of these awareness concerts then. Your right, most people do turn into see their favorite artists, therefore giving the platform for the Awareness Message to get out. If that's the case with most people at the any of these concerts, then mission accomplished.

Kind of how Bono uses his celebrity power as a platform to spread awarness of 3rd World Debt.
