I thought it was pretty amazing that Ed revealed that Neil Young bailed on doing the Rock HOF induction because he didn’t want to present in front of such a large audience. If my memory is correct it was only put out that Neil was sick so he couldn’t appear and I never heard there was another reason for him not appearing.1996: Randall's Island 2 1998: East Rutherford | MSG 1 & 2 2000: Cincinnati | Columbus | Jones Beach 1, 2, & 3 | Boston 1 | Camden 1 & 2 2003: Philadelphia | Uniondale | MSG 1 & 2 | Holmdel 2005: Atlantic City 1 2006: Camden 1 | East Rutherford 1 & 2 2008: Camden 1 & 2 | MSG 1 & 2 (#25) | Newark (EV) 2009: Philadelphia 1, 2 & 4 2010: Newark | MSG 1 & 2 2011: Toronto 1 2013: Wrigley Field | Brooklyn 2 | Philadelphia 1 & 2 | Baltimore 2015: Central Park 2016: Philadelphia 1 & 2 | MSG 1 & 2 | Fenway Park 2 | MSG (TOTD) 2017: Brooklyn (RnR HOF) 2020: MSG | Asbury Park 2021: Asbury Park 2022: MSG | Camden | Nashville 2024: MSG 1 & 2 (#50) | Philadelphia 1 & 2 | Baltimore 2025: Raleigh 20

To anyone on the fence about listening. Carve out some time and take the whole thing in. Simmons was very prepared for the interview. Ed was in good spirits. Jeff didnt say too much, could def tell he was on the phone. Ed must've had some kind of higher quality connection setup bc it sounded like he was there. Simmons got disconnected bc his earbuds lost power, so he ran and stole his daughters! Ed and Jeff just continued on without him! Simmons comes back and is like ahhh what did I miss! Overall nothing really political or real heavy. Topics were so broad from early 90's to wtf happened from 2010 to 2020, one record! I feel like I have read every interview I could find. Been to 50 ish shows. So, I've heard alot of rants, and stories. They unveiled some deep stuff. I was shocked they got into Nirvana. Simmons also really tried to press them on the mid 90's regarding a possible break up. They stonewalled them, but they Merkinball came up, and Eddie went thats right! We worked with Neil and he showed us how you make a record! Won't ruin it for everyone by going through all the tidbits, but it was loose and comprehensive. They did try to end a couple times, but like when your with a good friend either Ed or Simmons kept it going for at least another 15 minutes. I love how they didnt just go track by track.... once it got going it felt a lil like you were having a beer at a bar and were eavesdropping on Ed, Jeff, and Simmons doing an interview. Ed ribbing him was good btw. He was like Bill, you seemed surprised that the album was good, there was a little high pitch added to your voice like its actually GoOd. Very funny. Thats it! Listen up ladies and gents, 2+ hours of gold!0
