Summary
The crowd gathered in front of the Lincoln Memorial erupted in cheers when President-elect Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, arrived, walking down the steps of the memorial. Performers including U2, Beyonce and Bruce Springsteen are on the bill. Obama is expected to offer welcoming remarks. The crowd, expected to reach perhaps a half-million, gathered in temperatures above the freezing mark. It was a welcome relief from the frigid weather that had gripped the nation's capital. The spectators filled the area in front of the Lincoln Memorial, and extended along the mall on both sides of the reflecting pool.
