PAST four Rock Hall inductions coming to DVD & Blu-ray

Coming to DVD and Blu-ray on April 24th is the official release of the last four Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremonies. Vintage Vinyl News post that the shows, which were originally aired in truncated versions on HBO, now seem to feature all the induction and acceptance speeches along with most of the performances. The glaring exceptions are Bruce Springsteen & E Street Band‘s 15-minute workout on “Kitty’s Back” and any and all footage of Hall & Oates‘ 2014 salute and performance. The collection will be available on four DVD’s and two Blu-ray discs.

Among the legendary artists featured on the discs are Paul McCartney & Ringo Starr, Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, Yes, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Chicago, Peter Gabriel, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, Cat Stevens, Green Day, Stevie Wonder, Joan Baez, Rob Thomas, Deep Purple, Cheap Trick, Jeff Lynne, Tommy James, Stevie Nicks, and Glenn Frey, among many others.

 

During his April 18th, 2015 induction speech for Ringo Starr at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Paul McCartney recalled the “eureka” moment when all the pieces fit and the Beatles found the missing like that made them the “Fab Four”: “One night, our drummer then, Pete Best, uh, wasn’t available and, um, so Ringo sat in. And I remember the moment. I mean, Pete was great and we, we had a great time with him, but, me John (Lennon), and George (Harrison), God bless ’em…  Yeah! Me, John, and George were on the frontline, singing, as we usually were, and now behind us we had this guy that we’d never played with before. And I remember the moment when he started playing and I think it was Ray Charles’ ‘What’d I Say.’ And most of the drummers couldn’t nail the drum part — it was a little difficult to do — but Ringo nailed it. So… Yeah! Ringo nailed it!!! (Applause) Woo! And I remember the moment just standing there and looking at John and then looking at George, and that was ‘the moment.’ Y’know, that was the beginning, really, of the Beatles. Anyway.”
