It should be said upfront that this is not just a compilation of the annual HBO broadcasts which is both good and bad. Good because HBO heavily edits the ceremony and this Blu-Ray presents more complete speeches and performances. It's a very
straightforward presentation of what one might see as an audience member of the actual concert, unpolished and longer than it needs to be but it's authentic. There are performances on this Blu-Ray that were not included on the HBO telecast. Unfortunately, there are also performances that were on the HBO telecast that have been omitted from this release. Some artists are missing altogether. Daryl Hall & John Oates were inducted in 2014 and Steve Miller was inducted in 2016 but you would not
know that from watching this release as not only are the songs those artists performed not present, but the artists themselves are not even acknowledged. Other songs performed that were not included are Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band's performance of "Kitty's Back", Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs singing "Vicious" in tribute to Lou Reed, David Byrne with Kimbra and The Roots performing "Fame" in tribute to David Bowie, and Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney doing "With a Little Help From
My Friends", all of which were included when the ceremony was televised and all of which are sorely missed.
I do still give this release four stars because what is here is very good. The reunion of the two living members of Nirvana is an absolute thrill and the four vocalists (Joan Jett, St. Vincent, Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth, and Lorde) who were chosen for the heavy task of filling in for the late Kurt Cobain did a fantastic job. The living members from the classic lineup of Yes regrouped
for an explosive rendition of "Roundabout" and "Owner of a Lonely Heart". I'm not even really a fan of Yes but I was blown away by this performance. Peter Gabriel doing an epic ten-minute "In Your Eyes", Ringo Starr singing "Boys" backed by Green Day, Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band's "E Street Shuffle" which was so good it gave me chills. And that's just scratching the surface. If you're a fan of any of these performers, this release is most definitely worth your while but it's just
hard not to wish that it could have been more complete.

I was so excited when I purchased this. I got a great price of $50 but I did not receive what was pictured. In the pic it shows that the set are packaged in large sleeves and should include color booklets with each concert. What I got was a package no bigger than a regular sized CD and no booklets at all. I could have purchased this from a bigger department store and gotten everything as seen in the picture so I definitely feel slighted by Amazon. Bottom line, if you are a serious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame collector you will be disappointed by this. Save your money and buy elsewhere, I wish I had.

Buyer Beware!!! This set is labeled on the package as having Dolby Digital so I was afraid to open it. I have not listened to Dolby Digital for over a decade. Upon opening the set even the discs are marked Dolby Digital. OMG, I thought, this set is going to be sent back immediately. When I put the first disc in the machine there is a Dolby Digital advertisement which did not bode well.
Well guess what, there is no Dolby Digital on these discs at all, just good old fashioned DTS HD Master Audio high resolution audio. The sound is good and my fear of Dolby Digital was finally abated when my system sparked to life with the light for high resolution. There is a lot of talking and some good music performances, so this set is really pretty decent.

Stellar performances as always. I watch the induction ceremonies every year, and even get to see the concerts live when they come to Cleveland (like the 2015 show in this set). I wish there was a way of owning all of the performances at each of these shows, but having watched the original performances, this collection has the best performances of the years they capture. I hope more years get released. The induction speeches are hit and miss. Some are highly entertaining (like David Letterman inducting Pearl Jam and Chris Martin inducting Peter Gabriel) and others are boring. This is the next best thing to being there, and you can have repeated viewings.

An excellent program. I would have give it a 5 star but the best speech by an inductee was missing.
And that was KISS. I guess that was left out because Paul Stanley did say some
truth about the Hall of Fame.

Unfortunately I overlooked the small print telling me that the Blu-ray can only be played as a NTSC. so I cannot give the "Concert" a critique. After I have re-recorded the Blu-ray will give it a review Sorry

Missed a large portion of music history being in the back to the woods movement in my early parenthood. This fills in the gaps and shows that even the greatest musicians are poets and statesmen and very loyal to their mentors and fans. Very diversified talent!
