Anyone catch the 4 hour HBO concert on HBO last night? Best music on TV I can remember. Great quality both video and audio. All star lineup would share stage - awesome show!

"Limit Your Kill - Don't Kill Your Limit"
Bi + Ne = SB 2
If you haven't heard of the Snowstorm Blitz of 1987 - you someday will.
I managed to catch the tail end of it when I got home from work last night - and found my bride still awake watching it and she's not a big concert person - it was awesome, sorry I missed it but I'll catch it tonight
The line-up of musicians I got to see playing together was incredible - I'll be glued to it tonight for the replay at 8 on HBO...
"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
PBS had a show with some of the jams from the earlier induction ceremonies on over the weekend. Prince played the end solo on While My Guitar Gently Weeps with Tom Petty and Harrison's son and totally smoked. Robbie Robertson was on a couple of clips and played a lame solo during Let It Be that had Paul McCartney looking at him bemused.
Love the end when Prince throws it up in the air and walks away....

Someone needs to explain to me why the hell Run DMC is in the Rock & Roll hall of fame !
A few years ago they put Grand Master flash in
Yet a few groups like Chicago, Doobie Bros, and some others who actually were "Rock & Roll" don't get mentioned !
Is it the Rock & Roll HOF or Rap HOF ???

Or how how about John Cougar in and NOT Paul Rogers! WTF is up with that?! I'm a big Free and Bad Co. fan. That HOF is a bit wacked. I'll still catch the show though.

Exactly !
Paul Rogers should be in with either Free or Bad Co.
Yup, discovered Cox Cable had it On Demand until 1/4 and watched the 1st half yesterday afternoon - no doubt I'll be watching it a lot before it goes off
Great performances - C,S & N was in voice for the harmonies - I was always a big Stephen Stills fan - they were a great back-up for Jackson Browne - but I wish they'd had Bonnie Raitt ripping it up on slide, though
Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas singing with Jagger on Gimme Shelter was really impressive and she just plain stole the performance from him - hey, no doubt, Fergie is as smokin' hot as a $2 stove......in a scary sort of way......in fact, she reminds me a lot of an old Italian girlfriend from the wild days of my yout'...
Stevie Wonder and Sting was great, too - John Legend trying to pull off Mercy Mercy Me, not so much...
Also looks like Bruce needs to cut back on the 'roids a little, too...
I think what struck me the most overall was how relevant many of the lyrics are today - 30 years ex post facto
Yeah, gonna have to hook up my sound system for the video feed this afternoon before going to work so I can watch it again tonight when I get home...

What a great show! The absolute best performance of the evening was Springsteen and The E Street Band performing "Ghost of Tom Joad" with Tom Morello "The Night Watchman"-"Rage Agianst The Machine". Oh my can this young man play an electric guitar!! So unique.I loved it.

as a big Springsteen fan I had to look this up on youtube...
pretty different than the original acoustic version...
Slingah,
Very,very cool stuff.If you go into Morello's stuff a little deeper like "The Night Watchman" I forget the name of the album but you can see that Bruce has taken an interest in this guy.
I was never a big "Rage" fan but I did enjoy thier music. Now I know where thier unique sound came from.

1...these shows over the year ave been some of the better collaborations you will see...I have a three cd set from the concert when they opened the new building and it is insane....
2...Prince is severly underrated as a guitar player
3...Talk about scary...I just noticed that at the bottom of this page there is an add to buy the R&R HOF DVD...we have a thread and the ad program picked up keywords and puts the ad on the bototm of the page...that is fn frightening...big brother is watching
"It is impossible to complain and to achieve at the same time"--Basic Patrick (on a good day)
now it has an ad for cough syrup, frekin thing is readin' my mind because the way my day is goign, i was thinking of downing a bottle for the ride home!
