@marymungoandmidge haha thanks. Im only 25 and I love the music from the past which is why I feel a lot of times that I should have been born in 1950 lol. would have loved to experience all those music legends :)
@easyriffs It never was real elvis was dead before noel and jimmy is older looking and Keith Moon is young. If you look a noel it looks preatty fake. Sorry to ruin it for you
for those who dont know...this is a cut-n-paste promo ad for Radio 2...it's put together from 100s of original live performance footage...done so well it looks like all these guys are actually on stage at the same time...they weren't...some were dead, some were living...and none were ever on the same stage at the same time
Oh that was PURE COOL! I would have put Leslie West (From the group MOUNTAIN.. best song Mississippi Queen) on guitar and that joint would be KICKIN!!! Elvis' original band was the best of its time, including teh Beatles... but we all know if Elvis was here now, he would be playing with the best of today. Elvis would make Michael Jackson look like a FOOL on the dance floor though!!
Hello. Ypu are mssing tihe point here it is for BBC Radio 2 which is the middle of the road national radio station for the UK so it's not meant to be the best band ever: it's meant to be a wide selection - though by not putting in Billy Joel or Barry Manilow they have gone for a cool selection -- and tried to get the appeal to different age groups right. Looks amazing.
Probably a lot, but then again we'd all be charging that much if we had the copyright to a rare Elvis recording and this is a much better way to spend our Lisence fee than some of the dross the BBC have been churning out of late.
Even if this line-up really existed it wouldn't have been anymore magical than the already great band Presley had. They were the best backing band anyone could ask for and Elvis being the greatest singer ever made it the best concert ever.
It's a simple fun T.V commerical. You could go on forever. No Beatles? No Dylan? No Kenny Rogers? No Diana Ross? No Eagles? No Stones? No Bee Gees? etc etc ... take it for what it is.
Can you imagine if such a line-up really existed? I mean the best of the best. Okay..maybe on guitar instead of Noel Galagher Sheryll Crow someone like Paul Mc Cartney/John Lennon or even Pete Townsend.
Such a lineup would blow even a Live-Aid line-up away.
1) Look at all the other comments!! If you don't know, then check them because there's alway a chance of finding the answer!
2) Most of these musicians weren't even alive at the same time as each other, or if they were they were either very old or very young! Shows how much you know about music... Jeez.

Waste of money.
They should have given the money to some charity.
Or even better, to me.
The idea is pretty foolish... all they are saying is that they play a variety of music.
But so do a lot of radio stations.
All they are really saying is that they have so much money but they'd rather waste it than help people who need it.

Hello. Ypu are mssing tihe point here it is for BBC Radio 2 which is the middle of the road national radio station for the UK so it's not meant to be the best band ever: it's meant to be a wide selection - though by not putting in Billy Joel or Barry Manilow they have gone for a cool selection -- and tried to get the appeal to different age groups right. Looks amazing.
