the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25th Anniversary concerts was far more
exciting, the second
night<http://www.newsday.com/columnists/other-columnists/rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame-bashes-big-surprise-parties-1.1558352>
held
closer to organizers’ plans to tell rock’s wide-ranging history through
these superstar sets.
*U2 *was certainly the most diverse, moving from a moody “Because the
Night” with *Bruce Springsteen* and *Patti Smith* to a pop-tastic “Where Is
the Love” with the *Black Eyed Peas*. That was a bit too wide a stretch,
though *Bono *did try to inject the song with some gravitas and tried to
lighten “One” to fit with the Peas.
However, the risk on “Gimme Shelter,” bringing together *Mick Jagger*and
Black Eyed Peas, paid off handsomely, turning it into a powerful hybrid of
darkness and light. And Bono and Jagger’s front-man face-off on “Stuck in a
Moment You Can’t Get Out Of” was truly a sight to behold, as Jagger bent a
bit to Bono’s phrasing and Bono took on a bit of Jagger’s physicality.
*Metallica*’s set was nearly as expansive, lightening up for “Sweet
Jane” with *Lou Reed* and raging with *Ray Davies* on “All Day and All of
the Night.” They were even deferential to *Ozzy Osbourne*, who remains an
unstoppable concert force, as he roared through “Iron Man” and “Paranoid.”
“The censor will have fun with that one,” Metallica’s *James Hetfield*said,
after Osbourne left the stage. So will the rest of us.
