Well a treat for your eyes and ears anyway. Sunday November 29th HBO aired the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s 25th Anniversary Concert. There were actually two concerts in October at New Yorks’ Madison Square Garden that HBO cut down to one 4 hour 51 song special.
The guitar packages that night were outstanding, there was the great bass guitar playing of Sting, to the finger picking acoustic guitar playing of Paul Simon, to the phenomenal electric guitar work done by Jeff Beck this special had something to entertain everyone. I particularly liked the back-up band for Paul Simon and the fantastic bass guitar solo at the end of the song “You Can Call Me Al”, it doesn’t get any better than that. If your into HOT how about the performance by Mick Jagger and Fergie given on the song “Gimme Shelter”. There were tributes to George Harrison, Roy Orbison, and Michael Jackson.
There were performances by U2, Metallica, Bruce Springsteen and a host of others.
