Because the Night

30 Oct 200920

It's not long over in New York, night two of the 25th anniversary celebrations of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Here's some highlights - photos and more on the way.

From Lou Reed joining Metallica for 'Sweet Jane' to 'Stuck in a Moment' when Mick Jagger joined U2, it was a night when some of the greatest musicians jammed with each other in homage to the traditions of rock'n'roll. Annie Lennox with Lenny Kravitz, Jeff Beck with Sting and Buddy Guy, Ozzy Ozbourne rocking out with Metallica and Ray Davies leading on Kinks standard 'You Really Got Me'.

Edge, Larry, Adam and Bono, arriving on stage for a blistering rendition of Vertigo and a soaring Magnificent, were complemented by Bruce Springsteen and Patti Smith for the song he wrote with her 'Because The Night'. Legendary E Street keyboardist Roy Bittan was up with Bruce for 'Still Haven't Found' before Black Eyed Peas, fresh from the final 2009 dates of the 360 Tour, got in the groove for a seriously funky Mysterious Ways.

Fergie and U2 were joined by Mick Jagger for 'Gimme Shelter' while Sir Mick took the vocals with Bono for 'Stuck In A Moment'. A beautiful night had to end with a Beautiful Day, when U2 wrapped the proceedings up.

More news and photos coming up. If you were there tonight: let us know how it was for you.

Rock N Roll Hall of Fame Show

I had the privilege of being at both nights of the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame at Madison Square Garden. What an event- capped off by another brilliant U2 performance. "Gimme Shelter" with Mick Jagger and Fergie was absolutely incredible. Can't wait to see the performances again when it is broadcast on HBO.

DVD release?

Hopefully the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame will release these anniversary shows on DVD. I'm enjoying the box set of the first 25 years. I hope we don't have to wait 25 years for this one.

Hall of Fame versus 360 tour

I saw the 360 tour in Pasadena and the Hall of Fame Show at the Garden. The HOF show was so much better. Get rid of the big stages its about the Music and the People. All the songs U2 did at MSG even by themselves were better then any 360 tour song. U2, Black eyed peas, and Mick equals Rock and Roll History.

Sweetness

I heard both nights will be aired on HBO in the near future and I am sure U2.com will keep all of us informed. Can't wait to see it.

Very Special!

The show was wonderful. U2 was "Magnificent" and so was Patti Smith who held everyone's heart. Mick was terrific, but it was Edge, Larry, Adam and Bono who took the performances to a higher level.. I thank the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for making this happen.

Ruined for life...

I finally took my 12 year old son (middle child, whaddya expect) to his first concert and he is ruined for life, he will never experience anything like this again. The concert was an absolutely amazing experience, to hear Bono, Patti and Bruce do their thing was magical. Metallica was so on the money, Turn the Page was phenomenal, as was Lou Reed. My guitar playing son was so into the whole experience, it was something we will both never forget...

I WAS THERE!

The whole night was great. So many legends under one roof; it was a dream come true. (Well, almost. The one thing I'm pining for the most is a U2/Prince collabo! I'd sell my grandmother to experience something like that.) Anywho, U2 was good, but they were great with Mick and in the second rendition of "Because the Night." And it looked like they were having a lot of fun being the "house band." I really enjoyed it. What a great way to look back at this magical thing called rock and roll!
