So I saw that the legendary Al Green was playing a one night only show at BB Kings in NYC and with tickets going for $175 a pop quickly realized I was not going lol.

However I wanted to see/hear what he sounds like now so I searched YouTube and came across this. What makes it so special is who is in the backing band.

Jools Holland from Squeeze and David Gilmore!! From Pink Floyd. So I figured I would share it with you.

When I was younger one of my favorite records was Patti Smith's "Easter" and in 1978 she played the Calderone Theater in Hempstead. I remember she showed up late and told us it was because she opened The Rolling Stones show in Atlanta and took a helicopter to the show. She was awesome as the crowd put out our hands and she proceeded to walk across the palms of people deep into the crowd. I just remember thinking like how cool is that. It's a shame we didn't have camera phones back then.

Anyway she was part of a very cool jam at the West Memphis Three Benefit in Little Rock, Arkansas on Saturday. During the show, Eddie Vedder and Patti Smith performed Smith's song "People Have the Power," with actor Johnny Depp playing guitar.

The goal of the concert was to raise awareness and funds for legal fees to help three men convicted as teenagers in the 1993 murders of three eight-year-old boys from West Memphis, Arkansas. Many suspect the men were wrongly convicted.

Fans who made it out to this year's Ozzfest were treated to a pre-concert video montage featuring the Prince of Darkness spoofing everything from Jersey Shore to Avatar to a Lady Gaga video.

Some folks think the rocker even deserves an Oscar for the clip. Check out fan-filmed footage of the video by searching YouTube for "2010 Ozzfest Intro."

Ozzy Osbourne's video for his new single, "Life Won't Wait," has come out. The clip, which was directed by Ozzy's son Jack, shows the Prince of Darkness singing and walking through a cemetery, as well as taking part in flashbacks to various times in his life.

See both the video as well as a clip of Ozzy and Jack discussing it.

Not safe for work but funny as hell.

Seemingly harmless roughhousing during an Aerosmith concert Tuesday at Toronto's Air Canada Centre resulted in flamboyant singer Steven Tyler being pushed by guitarist Joe Perry off a catwalk and into the crowd.

The incident occurred early in the hit-laden performance, during "Love In An Elevator". Tyler had lightly hip-checked Perry, who, after completing his guitar lick, looked over his shoulder before backing into the unsuspecting front-man.

Fingers speaks with Motley Crue's Vince Neil about the current tour with Ozzfest, the new book and album Tattoo's and Tequila.

Listen here.

Last night at the Nikon Jones Beach Theater, Steven wacked Joe with his mic stand. Albeit unintentional, Joe was not happy as he threw his guitar into his amps and walked off stage. Ahh nothing like rock star drama or was that just a senior moment? Right at 7:21, check it out!


The eagerly-awaited Roger Waters concert tour will combine an evening's worth of music --comprised of two sets plus encores-- with state-of-the-art staging, lighting and sound.

The Set will consist of Roger Waters and full band performing "The Wall," one of the defining works of rock music history, from start-to-finish. Waters last performed "The Wall" live in America with Pink Floyd more than 30 years ago.

The Roger Waters concerts will utilize elaborate large-scale video projections and theatrical staging to underscore and accentuate the power of the music which is delivered via a state-of-the-art 3600 quadraphonic sound system immersing the audience in a 3-dimensional hyperworld.
