So many incredible choices here. My favorite part of the Tracy Chapman/Luke Combs performance is the way he looks at her, like he can't believe his luck that he gets to be on stage with her. Heart's Stairway to Heaven was perfection. I was surprised when they chose to play that, and I was even more surprised that Ann Wilson made it even better. What did you miss? Queen at Live Aid. I mean really, how could you? 2004 Rock and Roll HOF performance of "When My Guitar Gently Weeps" with Dhani Harrison on stage surrounded by guitar Gods paying tribute to his father. That one _never_ fails to give me chills. Especially when Prince goes off on his solo. That was a bunch of brilliant musicians having a jam session that we were privileged enough to watch.

She had been going through chemotherapy for breast cancer and rocked a beautiful bald head. ❤ I also LOVE when the British singer Joss Stone started the performance and eventually sang with Melissa.
