This concert is not only a highly entertaining look at the history of iconic music, using the best musicians and authentic Broadway / Rock and Roll artists in the world, but also tells the story of America since the 1930s; all the incredible influences and cultures that make up our “melting pot,” which is poured into the fabric of our music that influenced generations around the world.
With a cast consisting of both stars from Broadway’s greatest rock musicals and incredible rock and roll singers, Neil also shares often unknown stories from the 50-year history of the music that changed the world forever.
From the progenitors of rock and roll in the early 1940s, through the glory years of the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s, up until MTV in the early ‘80s, Neil Berg’s 50 Years of Rock & Roll use fascinating stories and groundbreaking music, with tributes to such iconic rock stars/groups/genres as Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Elvis Presley, Ray Charles, Buddy Holly, Bob Dylan, Frankie Valli, The Beatles, Beach Boys, Motown, Aretha Franklin, The Who, Janis Joplin, Woodstock, Simon & Garfunkel, Carole King, Led Zeppelin, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, Aerosmith, Linda Ronstadt, Bruce Springsteen, Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Disco, New Wave, Journey and others.
