It should be said upfront that this is not just a compilation of the annual HBO broadcasts which is both good and bad. Good because HBO heavily edits the ceremony and this Blu-Ray presents more complete speeches and performances. It's a very straightforward presentation of what one might see as an audience member of the actual concert, unpolished and longer than it needs to be but it's authentic. There are performances on this Blu-Ray that were not included on the HBO telecast. Unfortunately, there are also performances that were on the HBO telecast that have been omitted from this release. Some artists are missing altogether. Daryl Hall & John Oates were inducted in 2014 and Steve Miller was inducted in 2016 but you would not know that from watching this release as not only are the songs those artists performed not present, but the artists themselves are not even acknowledged. Other songs performed that were not included are Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band's performance of "Kitty's Back", Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs singing "Vicious" in tribute to Lou Reed, David Byrne with Kimbra and The Roots performing "Fame" in tribute to David Bowie, and Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney doing "With a Little Help From My Friends", all of which were included when the ceremony was televised and all of which are sorely missed.
I do still give this release four stars because what is here is very good. The reunion of the two living members of Nirvana is an absolute thrill and the four vocalists (Joan Jett, St. Vincent, Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth, and Lorde) who were chosen for the heavy task of filling in for the late Kurt Cobain did a fantastic job. The living members from the classic lineup of Yes regrouped for an explosive rendition of "Roundabout" and "Owner of a Lonely Heart". I'm not even really a fan of Yes but I was blown away by this performance. Peter Gabriel doing an epic ten-minute "In Your Eyes", Ringo Starr singing "Boys" backed by Green Day, Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band's "E Street Shuffle" which was so good it gave me chills. And that's just scratching the surface. If you're a fan of any of these performers, this release is most definitely worth your while but it's just hard not to wish that it could have been more complete.
