    That was an awesome performance. Really classy how Eddie thanked each drummer. Everyone gave a great speech. It seemed like Eddie was looking for some tambourines at the end of RITFW, but there were none to be found!
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Amazing. Speeches. Stone thanking EVERYONE. Jeff and Mike visibly moved. Matt in the brotherhood. EV being EV at his best. Sounded, looked great. All the photos and history. Krusen back on the kit. Very powerful ... especially for something as normally lame as the RRHOF. THANKS, PJ.

    Ed also addressed Dave A numerous times. PJ handled it as well as they could. Jack also played with Matt for Free World.

    I think Letterman was just "ok". A shame Neil Young got sick; I was expecting a moving speech like Eddie for Neil, Flea for Metallica or Grohl for Rush.

    The band speeches were really good, and they cared to bring Krusen, who was ready to play, to say a few words and stay.

    The band was solid, great performance!

    Amazing night. So happy and honored to have been there in section 118 which were great seats. Betterman was an incredible version. Speeches were great, especially Stone. The rest of the night was fun too. Going to sleep very happy.

    Such an incredible night, Ed's tribute to Michael J Fox was a really cool moment, so were the band's speeches, they all had their own unique take. Someone gave Ed a bottle of wine toward the end of their performance and he must not have liked it, he made a face then immediately spit it out. Yes, ELO, and Lenny Kravitz's Prince tribute were other highlights. Letterman's speech was great considering he found out he was doing this 2 days ago, Dhani Harrison had another great one for ELO, Snoop's speech for Tupac was really powerful, funny also. Surprised that there wasn't a Nile Rodgers performance of any kind out of all the stuff he's played on or produced. Pearl Jam brought the house down though, really a ton of energy in their performance, they were humbled to be there but proved there's no other band that should have closed out the night. We witnessed Pearl Jam, Yes, Rush, and Journey tear up RITFW, wow.

    Bottom line...Dave Abbruzzese should have been there. Recognize his contributions. I love PJ but I don't understand why they can't acknowledge how he contributed to their legend.

    He was mentioned several times by Ed and acknowledged.

    Was anyone else itchin' to move down to those huge patches of empty seats on Stone's side? Sections 7,8,9ish. I couldn't do it because I hate it when someone tries to debo my seat and act dumb, but man those seats were empty from start to finish. The ushers didn't look like they were checking either.

    Get over yourself Pearl Jam. This would have been a great opportunity to have Dave play one more time. (Sigh)
