It started like a whisper.
Then came the keys, the steady pulse of drums, the roar of guitars — and suddenly, the Barclays Center in Brooklyn wasn’t just a venue. It was a church, a memory, a movement.
For the grand finale of the 2015 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction, a supergroup of legends and newcomers joined forces to perform “With A Little Help From My Friends,” turning a Beatles classic — immortalized through Joe Cocker’s raw version — into a gospel of gratitude, unity, and rock history.
A Stage Full of Giants
You could feel the weight of music history just looking at the lineup:
John Mayer, Dave Grohl, Beck, Stevie Wonder, Paul Shaffer, Joe Walsh, Tom Morello, and more — each of them stepping into the song not to steal the spotlight, but to carry it forward.
Grohl’s energy pulsed like electricity. Stevie Wonder didn’t just sing — he soared, adding a spiritual uplift that cracked the air open. John Mayer traded guitar licks with Joe Walsh like two decades folding into one.
They weren’t trying to outshine one another. They were celebrating something larger:
the kind of brotherhood that built rock & roll in the first place.
