A powerful concert event celebrating the songs, voices, and rebellious spirit that built rock ’n’ roll, ROCK CLASSICS honors the grit, soul, and storytelling that defined generations and continue to drive the genre forward.

The special features unforgettable performances of iconic songs, including John Fogerty’s take on “In My Life,” Peter Frampton’s rendition of “Call Me the Breeze,” and Michael McDonald’s heartfelt version of “Freedom Highway.” Sheryl Crow pays tribute to John Lennon and The Beatles with “A Hard Day’s Night,” Gregg Allman delivers a deeply soulful “Tuesday’s Gone,” and Lynyrd Skynyrd performs the rock classic “Free Bird.” Duets include Mavis Staples and Bonnie Raitt on “Turn Me Around.”

The night builds to a thunderous, all-star performance of “The Weight,” uniting Mavis Staples, Gregg Allman, Eric Church, Emmylou Harris, Keb’ Mo,’ Joan Osborne, Grace Potter, Bonnie Raitt, Jeff Tweedy and more in a moment that captures rock music’s communal power.
