Product DescriptionThe soundtrack to the 3-time Emmy Award winning HBO special, plus additional songs from the anniversary concerts NOT seen or heard on HBO... NOW ON CD!
On October 29th and 30th, 2009, rock 'n' roll royalty held court at Madison Square Garden for what have been called 'the best concerts ever,' and 'where rock 'n' roll history was made.' In celebration of the 25th Anniversary of the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, the concerts in New York City featured a who's who of rock from the '50s to the '90s and included artists performing together in unique combinations that will most likely never be witnessed again.
