The new issue of Rolling Stone provides a comprehensive look at the two recent RnR Hall of Fame concerts held in New York City at the end of October. By all accounts, the two shows featuring the likes of the three kids pictured above plus Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, CSN and a whack of other legends were nothing short of historic.

Also, HBO will be showing a highlights special on November 29th (and sure to be re-run) so if you’re a subscriber, it will be worth tuning in. If you’re not a subscriber, footage is bound to show up somewhere on the internet, so no worries. Speaking of which, here’s a fan-filmed clip of U2, Springsteen and Patti Smith coming together to perform Springsteen’s ‘Because of the Night’, famously recorded by Smith:

Wow, Patti sounds great…Have she and Bruce done the song together before? They worked well together.
Bono seems a bit out of place though…
Agree. It’s such a powerful song.
She wrote the song with Bruce and released it as a single on her “Easter” album… He’s done it live in shows & a live version of him doing it is on his “Live 1975-85″ release.
