Would have been nice to see the Talking Heads reunion included here... of course, it would be nice for a Talking Heads reunion period. Unlikey though, due to Byrne who always has something better to do.

Well, with all those comics he has to draw, it's tough to find time for music. :twisted:

It's a 9 DVD set.

http://www.timelife.com/webapp/wcs/stor ... tId=126501

Click on the Liner Notes tab for each individual disc for track listing. with all I'm buying, I'll probably pass on this....though I'd love the DVD that has Patti Smith and elvis Costello on it.

Looks like this may be available through TimeLife.com only (on September 11).

The Amazon link is dead, and CD Universe shows a 1 DVD edition coming out in November.

Has anyone heard many of these performances?

Did artists rehearse, or was a lot of it "off the cuff?"

Looks great, but $120's way out of my range. The T-L stuff usually eventually hits the used stores.........

The listing is back at Amazon now:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002HWUU3G/?tag=imwan-20

This is a 3-disc distillation of Time Life's 9-disc set, made for general release.

I am surprised that nobody has listed this yet.Rolling Stone reviews an 8 DVD set by Time-Life that has the last 25 years of performances of the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame cermonies at NY's Waldorf Astoria.It sounds pretty awesome.I could not find the review online, but the review is in the latest issue with Shakira on the cover.
AmazWAN has listing for a 3 DVD set to be released 11/3/2009.I hope Linda could post the link.

Merged into the pre-existing thread. :) — Linda

If any other info on this comes up, please feel free to share.

UPDATE:

Since 1986, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has inducted musicians including Tom Petty, Aerosmith, Chuck Berry, Metallica, Rolling Stones and many, many more. The inductions have always been accompanied by performances of the inductees and special guests.

The ceremony has aired for years on VH1, Time Life and The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame have released a nine-disc DVD box of the best of these ceremonies and performances. The full set will cost you $120 and can be purchased at Time Life's website, while an “economic friendly” three-disc set will run you $40.

There are some great performances contained on these discs, which run anywhere from 75 to 90 minutes. They include 125 performances, including Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, Bruce Springsteen, James Brown, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Patti Smith, Bonnie Raitt, and dozens and dozens more. The first ceremonies were recorded using a few cameras, and not as professional looking or sounding as those recorded more recently, so it’s interesting to see how things have changed in the almost 25 years since the ceremonies began.

Some highlights include “I Saw Her Standing There” performed by George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Mick Jagger, Bob Dylan, Billy Joel, John Fogerty, Jeff Beck, Bruce Springsteen and more following the Beatles induction ceremony. “Come Together” with Bruce Springsteen and Axl Rose, “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” with Bruce Springsteen and U2, “Sweet Emotion” with Aerosmith and Kid Rock, “The Train Kept-A-Rollin,” with Beck, Jimmy Page, Ron Wood, Joe Perry, Flea and Metallica.

There are some very cool guitar solos from Eric Clapton, B.B. King, Joe Perry, Carlos Santana, Beck and more, including a great tribute to George Harrison from Prince.

Finally, disc nine features portions of the 1995 live concert for the Hall of Fame in Cleveland, including performances by The Kinks, Dan Fogerty, Al Green and more.

One of the great things about these ceremonies is that you get duets/team-ups of artists you wouldn’t necessarily expect to see, some are good, some less so, but it’s cool to see these performances and watch them over and over again.

There are several bonus features on each disc, which include backstage conversations of the artists talking about guitars, watching inductions from the wings of the stage instead of being on stage or in the audience, complete versions of selected speeches, and much more.

The only down side is that the discs aren’t chronological, you could be watching a performance from 1989 and the next performance jumps to 2005. It would have been nice to have the performances in order. Also a minor nit-pick is that sometimes songs from the same artist/group are spread out over several discs; these multi-song sets should have been kept together.

Also not all performers are on these discs, it could be because of royalties, hubris or a number of other reasons but what we do get should make the music lover in your house happy with hours and hours of performances and induction speeches.
