25th Anniversary Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame

Three DVD set containing all four hours of the HBO special on the first two DVDs plus a bonus DVD featuring 16 exclusive performances not seen on HBO.

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,” where “Rock ‘n’ Roll history was made.”

In celebration of the 25th Anniversary of the Rock And 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 seen again.

Now, this critically-acclaimed and highly-rated HBO special is available on DVD for the very first time!

Features all 51 performances from the acclaimed HBO special, plus 16 performances not seen on HBO.

Mavis Staples

You Are Not Alone

You Are Not Alone finds Mavis Staples teaming up with Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy, who produced the album and penned several of the songs, and while Tweedy may seem an odd fit, he obviously knew what he was up to, crafting material that fits Staples’ gospel-fueled vocals.

JJ Grey & Mofro

Georgia Warhorse

Maybe number five is the charm?

Not that JJ Grey and his ever evolving backing band Mofro care.

But it’s possible that Georgia Warhorse may be the record that pulls them from the glorified cult status they’ve enjoyed for a decade into the lights on the mainstream’s fringes—but don’t count on it.

Grey’s music is far too real; too poetically, sonically, and atmospherically rooted in vintage Southern soul, rock and blues traditions to translate readily into radio fodder.

The music is steeped in funky, greasy, slippery Southern R&B, blues and rock.
