Roughly in order of the performances:
Jerry Lee Lewis: is very old.
Crosby, Stills & Nash: I don't think I've ever seen them play a bad set.
Stevie Wonder: surprisingly uneven, and he actually seems to be playing through some kind of a health issue during "The Way You Make Me Feel." But Roxanne (with Sting of course) is brilliant.
Paul Simon / Simon & Garfunkel: the reunited duo are the standout here, together they can still raise the hairs on your neck.
Little Anthony & the Imperials: one song, but what a song!
Metallica: you basically need to already be a metal fan, because as their numbers with Ray Davies and Lou Reed demonstrate, Metallica really can't do anything else. If you *are* a metal fan, though, Ozzy Osbourne's guest turn is a thing of beauty.
U2: Surprisingly, they don't mesh very will with Bruce Springsteen as a guest artist. But Gimme Shelter with Mick Jagger and the Black-Eyed Peas is surprisingly good and their delivery of their own songs is lovely, if you're a U2 fan.
Jeff Beck: excellent from end to end -- with the exception of a surprisingly awful rendition of Foxy Lady by guest Billy Gibbons -- and his bassist, who looks about twelve, is standout too. (In fact I had to look her up: her name is Tal Wilkenfield.
Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band: ... and that, ladies and gentlemen, is why they call him the Boss. Of course they ended with Springsteen, nobody could follow this set. Especially with the spectacular guest turns from Tom Morello, Sam Moore, John Fogerty and Darlene Love... and of course, Billy Joel.
