On October 30, 2009, U2 took the stage at New York's iconic Madison Square Garden to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. As the final act of a two-night musical extravaganza, the Irish rock legends delivered a set filled with their own anthems and electrifying collaborations. The event was designed for Hall of Fame inductees to perform their own songs and covers, often alongside special guests.
This was no ordinary concert; it was a historic convergence of rock royalty. The star-studded evening saw U2 share the stage with a host of music icons. Bruce Springsteen and Patti Smith joined them for a powerful rendition of "Because The Night." The collaborations continued with The Black Eyed Peas for a medley of "Where Is The Love?" and "One," and a show-stopping performance of The Rolling Stones' "Gimme Shelter" with Mick Jagger and Fergie. Jagger also lent his vocals to a memorable version of U2's "Stuck In a Moment You Can't Get Out Of." The band closed out the celebratory night on their own with a soaring performance of "Beautiful Day."
