Induction Simulcast

Outside of the Barclays Center, the Rock Hall will be the only place to watch the Induction Ceremony on the night of the event. Doors for tonight's simulcast open at 6:30 p.m., and the broadcast begins at 7 p.m. Special guests for this year’s Induction Ceremony include the Black Keys, Rob Thomas and Metallica's Lars Ulrich. Cheap Trick, Chicago, Deep Purple, N.W.A. and Steve Miller will be inducted and Bert Berns, who produced 51 chart records in seven years, will receive the Ahmet Ertegun Award for Lifetime Achievement. The Beatles, Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin all recorded some of his songs, and Janis Joplin famously recorded a version of his “Piece Of My Heart,” a song he wrote and produced for Erma Franklin, Aretha Franklin’s sister. Tickets to the simulcast are $23.50. (Niesel)
