The events leading up to the night of the performance were filmed , and during these events on the day of the performance , the September 11 attacks perpetrated against the United States occurred , and the assembled group of musicians was made aware of this . The group performed the concert as originally intended , although Sting indicates on the DVD documentary the tone of the evening was quite different from how it was originally intended . Additionally , the " Desert Rose " performance featuring vocalist Cheb Mami was canceled due to the same circumstances
