The ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME LIVE 3-DVD collection boasts 44 remarkable performances by the most influential and significant figures in rock music history, as well as the speeches, toasts and roasts by which these members of rock royalty salute each others accomplishments. History is made when legendary artists such as Mick Jagger and Tina Turner, Bruce Springsteen and Bono, Crosby, Stills & Nash and Tom Petty, take the stage for once-in-a-lifetime collaborations. The ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME LIVE set includes three DVDs featuring an assortment of performances spanning more than two decades of ceremonies, as well as induction and acceptance speeches, and never-before-seen backstage and rehearsal footage. Never before available, the ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME LIVE DVD set is an unparalleled rock n roll experience nearly ten hours of rare and exclusive performances and footage and a must-own for every music fan.

Among the highlights of the collection, available on November 3, are:

•Mick Jagger and Tina Turner performing a sultry duet on the Stones' "Honky Tonk Woman."

Each year, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame honors rock musics pioneering figures during prestigious, black-tie ceremonies. Rocks biggest stars induct their biggest influences and contemporaries, with heartfelt, wise and witty speeches. Over the years, Paul McCartney has inducted John Lennon, Paul Simon has inducted Stevie Wonder, Steven Tyler has inducted AC/DC, Elton John has inducted The Beach Boys, and in turn, Elton John was inducted by Axl Rose. But, its during the live performance part of the ceremony when rock history is really made.

With egos set aside, the artists take the stage and deliver once-in-a-lifetime performances, often with a truly mind-blowing combination of talent, such as Mick Jagger performing with Bruce Springsteen, REM with Eddie Vedder, The Band with Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck with Jimmy Page. As Robbie Robertson once commented, Its an opportunity to see musical combinations we may never see again as long as we live.

The Rock and Roll of Fame Foundation and Museums anniversary celebration will extend beyond the DVD set, with both a book and two groundbreaking concerts this fall. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: The First 25 Years, chronicling 25 years of induction ceremonies, will be published by Collins Design (an imprint of HarperCollins) in September. In October, the Hall of Fame will present two live concert events at Madison Square Garden in New York, featuring performances by Eric Clapton, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Aretha Franklin, Metallica, Paul Simon, Simon & Garfunkel, Stevie Wonder, and U2.

Finally, starting November 28th PBS will air a one-hour Rock And Roll Hall of Fame special, hosted by Paul Shaffer


About the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation and Museum:
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation was established 25 years ago by legendary record executive Ahmet Ertegun and a group of music business executives to honor the artists that have defined rock and roll and have inspired and continue to inspire a generation. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is the nonprofit organization that exists to educate visitors, fans and scholars from around the world about the history and continuing significance of rock and roll music. It carries out this mission both through its operation of a world-class museum designed by I.M. Pei in Cleveland, Ohio that collects, preserves, exhibits and interprets this art form and through its library and archives as well as educational programs.

Oh!! You mean the Rolling Stone Magazine Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The one with Ray Charles, Ruth Brown, Johnny Cash,Little Wille John, Solomon Burke, Bobby Bland and Jimmy Reed. Not much rock and roll there and the last four not much fame.
