\"\"The historic, star-studded benefit concert featuring a reunion of former Beatles Paul McCartney<\/a> and Ringo Starr<\/a>, which was held at Radio City Music Hall in New York City in April 2009, has now been edited into a 90-minute video and is airing on PBS affiliate stations nationwide during the next two months.<\/p>\n

The first broadcast was on New York City’s channel THIRTEEN station on April 29. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The “Change Begins Within” concert benefitted the David Lynch Foundation<\/a>, a charity that provides funding for at risk populations to learn the Transcendental Meditation technique, including underserved inner-city school children, veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder, and women and girls who suffer from domestic abuse and violence.<\/p>\n

With the help of this concert and other benefit events over the past seven years, the David Lynch Foundation has provided scholarships for more than 250,000 people-in-need to learn TM.<\/p>\n
