Inductees are allotted minuscule time frames to perform their greatest hits — so it was meaningful that, at the expense of smashes like "Do Ya" and "Don't Bring Me Down," Electric Light Orchestra kicked off the night's festivities with their 1973 reimagining of Berry's "Roll Over Beethoven." Frontman Jeff Lynne's revered blend of orchestral texture...
Born in 1978, George Harrison's son wasn't even alive when E.L.O. released their early hits. But he came armed with a unique perspective: George's creative partnership with Lynne in the late '80s and early '90s yielded gems like the late Beatle's Cloud Nine and culminated with the beloved supergroup The Traveling Wilburys. Dhani recalled being awes...
Presidents from Kennedy to Trump, wars from Vietnam to Iraq: The iconic 76-year-old folk artist has witnessed decades of American history firsthand and brought her weathered perspective to the Barclays Center. "My voice is my greatest gift," she said. "It has given my life deep meaning and unending pleasure to use my voice in the battle of injustic...
Though the Indigo Girls and Mary Chapin Carpenter joined Baez for most of her set, she began by herself, armed with just an acoustic guitar. And her solo performance of the spiritual "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" was magnetic, silencing the audience with its elegance. Still, Baez introduced some levity. "Swing low, sweet chariot, coming for to carry m...

But the British rock band's keyboardist Rick Wakeman threw the contrast into even sharper relief with his riotous, politically incorrect acceptance speech. "I really probably shouldn't tell you [this]," he began. "...
Lee and Rush cohort Alex Lifeson introduced Yes on Friday, detailing how that band's brand of proto-prog — combined with some mind-expanding substances — paved the way for Rush's epochal work. But Lee subsequently performed a more solemn task: manning the bass parts when Yes performed their 1971 hit "Roundabout" in lieu of Chris Squire, who died in...
The hip-hop star spent much of his early career in tandem with Tupac at Death Row Records; in his speech posthumously inducting the rapper into the Rock Hall, Snoop compared the label in the '90s to a powerhouse sports franchise, with Suge Knight serving as owner, Dr. Dre performing coaching duties, and "me and Pac [being] the stars on the court ma...
With Tupac long dead, the Rock Hall could've foregone his performance slot. Instead, the roster of artists organizers assembled presented a rousing set that showcased Tupac's stylistic range. "One of my favorite things about Pac is the way you know that every lyric he sang came exactly from his life, exactly from his heart," Alicia Keys said during...
Before the induction ceremony, rumors swirledthat singer Steve Perry would perform with Journey for the first time since 1991. That didn't happen, but the 68-year-old musician honored his peers with a thoughtful acceptance speech. Perry reminisced about regularly going to Journey shows at West Hollywood's Starwood nightclub as a fan so he could see...
Arnel Pineda — who Perry shouted out in his acceptance speech — has performed vocal duties for Journey since 2007 and he belted the ubiquitous lyrics for "Separate Ways," "Lights," and "Don't Stop Believin'" on Friday night. But Perry lingered over the set, with Schon dedicating "Lights" to the singer. "Light this place up," the guitarist said, urg...
