Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees from years past rocked out Thursday night at Madison Square Garden in celebration of the institution. Lasting more than five hours, the concert featured performances by Simon & Garfunkel (1990), Crosby, Stills and Nash (1997), Jeff Beck (2009), James Taylor (2000), Bonnie Raitt (2000), and Sting (with the Police, 2003). Stevie Wonder, John Legend and Bruce Springsteen also took the stage. Many of the artists used their time in the spotlight to showcase covers of legendary songs and musicians, according to the Associated Press.
