That moment when there's seven kickass guitarists, seven other amazing singers, and two incredible drummers on the stage, and the bass player outshines them all by singing one verse and laying down a groove so unstoppable that it would shatter even the immovable object.
@@963852art That's not even what was implied by OP. Geddy kicked ass in this performance. That's what was said. That being said, people can have differing opinions.
My favorite part of this performance is that all these artists have different genres and backgrounds and all respect the shit out of each other. Music is what brings us all together.
Yeah, I love that too. There’s a moment near the end when Fogerty and Geddy have a big smile and a high five. I can hardly imagine two styles of rock farther apart than Rush and CCR, but you can totally feel the joy and respect between them.
Chris Cornell man. He just had a single small verse but completely just transformed it as he started singing. I hope people remember him for a long time he was an amazing artist
Nelly Boi learned to truly cherish Cornell I liked audioslave and spud garden growing up but not crazily after he passed I grew such a respect and love for him. He was so amazing I still cry every couple weeks when I play a few Cornell songs from songbook or look at his covers on RU-vid
James Hughson coming from someone who plays guitar, bass, and drums. All three of them are legendary musicians none of them are less talented than the other two
I'm still blown away at this live performance. Wish Chris Cornell had more of the lime light. But, Geddy, Alex, and the Professor (R.I.P) were beyond awesome. Loved how Geddy finished it off.
I ,myself usually don't say best when talking about music but ,he is right about this one ,it simply can't get better! David DiMuzio has a good ear for music.
Man, Tom Morello's solo is just one of coolest solos I've ever heard, the best guitarist with the digitech Whammy, him and Ann Wilson are the stars of the show.
Tom's is great but I love Alex's as well. Ann Willson is fab on this. And let's not forget the ultimate 'rhythm section' in Geddy and Neal. Without doubt one of the best best super bands and performances ever.
@@notesfromafar yeah Alex's solo is really sloppy, just playing minor pentatonic scale up and down the scale , pretty boring. no Tom's solo has debt, feeling, virtuosity and it tells a story, that's the difference.
Never thought I'd see Chuck D and Darryl Mcdaniels be on the same stage as John Fogerty, Geddy Lee and the Wilson sisters, that's something else.....and I loved every second of it
@edthehead916 how ironic is that entire performance is dedicated to a black blues man and highlighted how much of modern rock and other musical genres owe their existence to the blues whose performers were greatly under appreciated or ignored and in your comment you continue the tradition of white people ripping off black artists and talking s*** about it.
@@michaeldawson498 Honestly, in a world that only gets worse and worse it's a shame to still read such nonsense after seeing a barrier-free super jam like this.
I feel the exact opposite. Always liked Alex and felt like Tom hides behind effects too much, but just eyes closed, BOTH of Toms solos sound better here than Alex's contribution to these ears. And Gary just sounds great as always, but this is his wheelhouse.
that was a different solo . not like the album version of song. BOTH versions by Alex were great. Morellos was cheap noise to me and he was featured too much. What i am trying to say is Alex can play the Eric version of the solo if he wants. This was showier but FINE.
I'd love to hear him play the bass line for "Dazed and Confused" with Robert Plant on vocals (obviously), Alex Lifeson on lead and Jason Bonham on drums. That would be amazing.
INCREDIBLE!!!! I'M A FAN OF ALL THOSE GROUPS...What a line up!! Rush, Run Dmc, Foo Fighters, Tom Morello, Heart, Gary Clark Jr, Chuck D, Chris Cornell, etc covering a ''King Robert Johnson'' Blues Classic! Never thought I'd see that.
I love how Geddy didn't strive to be center of attention the whole time despite his reputation for being a very active bassist. Truly a humble guy, doesn't need to be the center of attention, and he knows when to just calm down to fitting and more or less basic bass lines. Though, I did notice he added more of his own flair once Alex started soloing, maybe just because he knows how he plays and knows how to accent it accordingly? Either way, I was really glad to see he wasn't glorifying his own playing.
I could watch this every day for the rest of my life and it would never get old. I would. Can you imagine all of the practice sessions that all those musicians of different walks of life must have had together? That was a well-orchestrated performance and it must have required some fun practice sessions where all those musicain got to know each other. I would love to have been a fly on that wall.
Geddy is the coolest SOB on the face of the planet. Lerxt, Dirk and THE Professor are my most favorite but everyone here rocked! What an awesome display of talent. edit: And that black dude on the guitar has got soul!
As i watch this in 2022, 3 of them are no longer with us 2 incredible drummers Neil Peart, Taylor Hawkins, and amazing front man Chris Cornell, RIP to 3 Legends!!
Brilliant jam.Fantastic vocals from Chris Cornell and Ann Wilson,mesmerising guitari solo from Alex,thunderous bass from Geddy and great to see Taylor paying homage to the mighty Neil..Such beautiful moments happen rarely.The rest of the ensemble were great too.John Fogerty is also a legend.😊
God, hearing Darryl and Mcdaiels lead at the start just hits while there are 7 guitars playing all at once feels like a blessing. I love all of these bands and artist, this is truly a once in a lifetime baby!
Seven minutes of pure rock & roll bliss: This is so AWESOME! Too bad our politicians can't find common ground and work together like these diverse rockers...
2019..... still watching and still brings me to tears! RUSH are no longer, RIP Chris Cornell, hope Ann & Nancy (Heart) get on well this time, happy 50th Dave Grohl, fuck time is flying by so fast!
I didn´t have great expectations, considering the huge differences of the artists on stage. I mean John Fogerty, Rush, Run DMC!! Turns out to be one of, if not the best moments in RRHOF history. And man - Geddy Lee - what a great bassist!!
lifeson was tearing that guitar a new one and Neil was whipping those drums but the high light was my man Geddy Lee the others were great also that was and still is a great Jam
"all the members of Rush". Effing criminal description. Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and the great Neil Peart. Taylor Hawkins is good but he's no Neil Peart. Respect.
Zed Leppelin Taylor Hawkins was a huge Peart and Rush fan. He probably so happy to be on stage with Neil. Even Dave, and his other bandmates were big fans.
Yes, she's fabulous. My daughter bought me tix to a Heart concert when they were in town actually, a few years ago. They overplay them on the radio, so I wasn't anxious to go, but changed my mind when I got there! A fantastic concert. Wish I could sing like Ann.
The star of the show was the recording engineer, whoever was on the board (and would not be surprised to find out it was Paul Shaffer) was the total master. He made everyone sound good, got all the majors out front when they were featured.
I mean this is the most badass jam in RRHOF history, but can we give some props to the fact that there is only ONE BASS PLAYER laying down some mad science?! Damn Geddy Lee is a monster!
Its great how Geddy picked up the beat from the rap and started jamming. Music just flows through the guys veins. What a talented bunch! Of course Tom Morello has to push the envelope and play a guitar solo that nobody else could copy if they tried. The man is always on the cutting edge. Too cool!
This is all about appreciating a once in a lifetime combination of artists in a sort of pot luck combination. Important thing for me is that John Fogerty is the big legend on this stage which is probably missed by a lot of people. He was a one man band Rock GOD hit machine before a lot of the others were even a dream in their mother's heart. He can play ALL the instruments and get the hits on his own.
Big up to everyone on that stage for making this a fucking great jam! everyone cooking and just having fun! Rock and roll is a frame of mind and not a contest!
Amazing Jam!!.... but it really shows to me how Alex Lifeson is one of the most underrated Guitarists ever...... from this song Crossroads to La Villa Strangiato to Overture..... and many other songs he plays..... he is just beyond amazing in style and technical ability.... as good as anyone ever..... in my opinion..... like Dave Grohl said.... he is a Guitar God...
A few of the dopest moments EVER. As Einstein said, a second on a hot stove feels like an hour, but an hour with a beautiful woman feels like a second. I think this the latter ... "Relatively" speaking! Unity within the discipline of art transcends so much, learn and live my friends!
Holy crap! How have I never heard this before? Just EPIC; multiple music heroes all on the stage at once. I can't believe it. And incorporating the rap properly and respectfully too, it's a shame that part might be lost on a lot of people here. Chuck D is as much of a legend as Rush, the Wilson sisters, Morello, Fogerty, the lot. Every one of those people pulled their weight here, and the song turned out beautifully. I would love to see stuff like this done more often, with REAL musicians spanning multiple genres coming together to celebrate our musical history over the past century.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has a super jam at the end of every induction ceremony, but in my opinion most of them don't turn out as good as this one.
@@deadstar44 Best reply. Rush was in their prime when I was in High School. Most of these musicians I heard of however only a 3 I listen to on a regular basis. Together they all kicked ass and represented themselves well.
Chuck D, as much of a legend as Rush & the Wilson sisters ? YOu just let the whole world know that you know absolutely NOTHING about music, especially Rock n Roll. What a moronic statement.
Here because of Rush, Huge Fan of Rush but Chris Cornell had more impact on me during this performance. The voice is incredible. Angelic. He has a lot of Charisma. A Genius. The sadness in his eyes while he was singing so beautifully hit me hard. An incredible talent but his eyes had a vulnerability to me that broke my heart! RIP Brother!
