Product Description - This complete HBO special, hosted by Tom Hanks, features 51 complete performances and an additional 16 bonus performances, resulting in over 5 hours of rock 'n' roll history. It also includes a collector's issue of Rolling Stone magazine with behind-the-scenes stories of the concerts. This three-time Emmy-winning event took place on October 29th and 30th, 2009, at Madison Square Garden. It has been hailed as "the best concerts ever" and a milestone in rock 'n' roll history. The lineup included legendary artists from the 1950s to the 1990s, with unprecedented collaborations that are unlikely to be witnessed again. Artists such as Crosby, Stills & Nash, Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, Simon & Garfunkel, Aretha Franklin, Metallica, U2, Jeff Beck, and Bruce Springsteen & the E-Street Band performed, along with special guests like Jerry Lee Lewis, Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, Smokey Robinson, B.B. King, Annie Lennox, Lou Reed, John Fogerty, Mick Jagger, Fergie, and others. The concerts were highly rated when a 4-hour special aired on HBO, reaching tens of millions of viewers. Now, this historic event is available on DVD. Notable highlights include Mick Jagger and Fergie's powerful rendition of the Rolling Stones' classic "Gimme Shelter," backed by U2, Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel's lively performance of "Born to Run," Sting joining Jeff Beck for the Curtis Mayfield hit "People Get Ready," Paul Simon, David Crosby, and Graham Nash's spine-tingling rendition of "Here Comes the Sun," Ozzy Osbourne singing with Metallica on Black Sabbath's iconic songs "Iron Man" and "Paranoid," and John Fogerty and Bruce Springsteen sharing vocals on Roy Orbison's "Oh, Pretty Woman." Critics have described the concert as "the big mother of all rock concerts" and "a jaw-dropping, spectacular all-star jam." (Source: Philadelphia Inquirer and Rolling Stone)
