This release includes performances from legendary talents like Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, Cream, Jeff Lynne, Steve Winwood, Metallica, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Ron Wood, Joe Perry, Tom Petty, James Taylor, Al Green, Chuck Berry and more.  Unforgettable collaborations occur on this volume, such as Tom Petty paired with Prince, and Mick Jagger paired with Bruce Springsteen.  Jam-filled performances of chart-busters like "Johnny Be Goode," "Tenth Avenue Freeze Out," "A Change is Gonna Come," "Train Kept a Rollin,'" "Ironman," "Woodstock," "Blitzkrieg Bop," "Can't Get No Satisfaction," and a show-stopping performance of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," make this volume a must-have for any LP library.
