Lauryn Hill riffing and running on the last minute. Luv it.

[bobbo]

curtis was a great guitarist ..clean clear stunning choices of notes..they don't come close..

[owl]

Like they said back in the day, MAN!, That Was Heavy.

[johnnylr]

I can listen to Lauryn Hill all day long with D'Angelo smooth on the keys, while Eric Clapton kills it on the all I Melissa with her raspiness

[SuperJNG]

Helluva squad. Shame that only Wilson Pickett seemed to know the words. But man, Billy Joel nailed his bit!

[POObumpoopo]

So much talent but looks like not one rehearsal was had lol.

[guillermogitz]

I can see Hill, Bono, Etheridge, Joel, Pickett, D'angelo, Clapton, Midler, Springsteen, Robertson but I can't guess the other guys. For example, the guy with a cap on and a tambourine in his hand, who is he? Anyone knows?

[DomeProductions.]

Curtis likely throwing up watching this train wreck of talented people mess up a masterpiece of a song

[owl]

Everybody was great but I have to say that Billy Joel nailed it.

[johnnylr]

I wanted to here Lauryn Hill just take over and FREE THE LORD!!! AMEN....she's so beautiful...Actually...I wanted to hear her AND Melissa Etheridge....now that would've been

[melissatyree]

Too many people trying to do too much. Let Eric and robbie Robertson go and follow their lead.

[dinarowton]

They left out the part where the hopeless sinner who's willing to sell out humanity for his own won't be able to stand near the throne. How convenient.

[SDSFG]

I dont like these jam sessions the way I used to when people would get up there, half drunk or flirting with other singers, right there on stage. It was more fun then...and usually the guilty parties were Mick, Keith, Tina. Little Richard and Pickett. Now, its just white singers tryin' to sound, black...and black singers, sounding like they're done for the evening and ready to go home.

[melissatyree]

I don't like Billy Joel. Just my personal opinion. Just average piano player.
With all those talented people on the stage you would think it would be a choir of angels. Everyone trying too hard.
