5.0 out of 5 stars
Worth the Price of Admission,
This review is from: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Live (DVD)
While Time Life is selling a 9 disc set, this 3 disc package gives you the best bang for your buck. Over 40 performances of once in a lifetime combinations of classic rock and roll artists. I think most everyone will find the track listing helpful:

5 Stars for the Performances, but Beware of Glaring Omissions...,
By
This review is from: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Live (DVD)
The bottom line is that this 3-disc set is Rock and Roll Heaven for true fans of the form.
Too many magic moments and balls-to-the-wall performances to mention them all, but suffice to say that there are no duds here. Off the top of my head, some major hi-lites include Santana's blistering "Black Magic Woman," Metallica's epic "Master of Puppets," U2 and Springsteen's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," The Doors and Eddie Vedder's mind-blowing "Light My Fire," Prince's over-the-top guitar solo during "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," and... Well, it goes on and on. Also, let's not forget the many memorable speeches, which range from the poignant (Paul McCartney's "letter" to John Lennon), to the brilliant (Bono's tribute to The Boss, and vice-a-versa), to the hilarious (Pete Townshend roasting the Rolling Stones), to the absurd (Mike Love's scathing crack-up). So ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME LIVE gets 5 stars for its content, but if I were grading this collection by what it lacks? Well that would be a different story. For instance: No Pink Floyd. Wow. Although their induction and performance of Wish You Were Here, with Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan, can be found on the band's fantastic PULSE dvd. No Led Zeppelin. And even though Page does unleash a fierce solo during a group version of All Along the Watchtower, this is still an unforgivable omission. No Bob Dylan, except for a completely lame cameo. No David Bowie. Was he even inducted? Yeesh... No Police. No Talking Heads. You get the picture. Pretty outrageous stuff, especially when you consider the number of artists who needlessly appear multiple times, like Jagger, Springsteen, U2, Cream, CS&N, and others. All of whom are great, but I would have rathered see as many artists as possible represented. So if these exclusions bother you, then I understand. But if I'm going to judge this collection for what it is (as opposed to for what it isn't), then it's 5 stars all the way.

5 STARS AREN'T ENOUGH,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Live (DVD)
Five stars are too few. I'd like to give this set 100! This is really a wonderful set, both for us baby boomers and our kids, who get to see and hear the musical icons of the 60s and 70s. And we baby boomers see performances by some of the newer artists, like Metallica, and Eddie Vedder.
The best part of this fabulous set is seeing these musicians induct other musicians and accept induction themselves. They honor their peers, reflect on their work, and share their joys and sorrows, successes and mistakes, and lament over the passing of many of them. It's sad but joyful to see John Phillips perform with the Mamas and Papas (sans Cass Elliott). And George Harrison, who was inducted both as part of the Beatles and posthumously for his own work, by his widow Olivia and his son Dhani. Billy Joel, when inducting John Mellencamp, speaks of the possibility becoming a rock icon by dying prematurely. He says, "If we die young we become a rock icon but we also become dead, and what could be worse than becoming fertilizer?" Ray Charles inducts Billy Joel and thanks the Hall of Fame for including him in the ceremony, yet another poignant moment. Bruce Springsteen participates in several inductions, one of which is for Ray Orbison. Springsteen tells of how as a child he listened to Orbison's ballads on the radio at night and was so moved he vowed never to speak to a woman again! There are so many moving performances, among them, the Righteous Brothers singing "You've Lost That Loving Feeling," with string and choral accompaniment, the Byrds singing "Turn, Turn, Turn," and the Who singing "Won't Get Fooled Again." Eric Clapton admits to not having played with Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce for 25 years. Among others who speak and perform are Creedence Clearwater Revival, Jefferson Airplane, Buffalo Springfield, and Crosby, Stills, and Nash. The Doors do a riveting "Light My Fire" with Ray Manzarek's swirling keyboards, as fantastic as 40 years ago. Eddie Vedder sings, faithful to Jim Morrison's brooding, sensual style. Mick Jagger makes several appearances, both accepting induction and inducting others. The Stones let loose with Honky Tonk Woman, joined by Tina Turner and other. Jagger, when inducting the Beatles, recalls the rivalry between them and the Stones. He and George Harrison and Bruce Springsteen perform a rousing "I Saw Her Standing There." As he did in the seventies, Steve Winwood and Traffic sear us with "Dear Mr. Fantasy." His wail is as clear as it was back then. It's as if no time has passed. Fleetwood Mac, Jackson Browne, Melissa Etheridge, Santana, and the Band appear as well, and carry us back. We may have aged but our music still pierces.
