Joey Jay asked:

Did any non-DVD cuts air on the PBS broadcast?

Pearly Queen? Further On Up The Road? Cocaine? Key To The Highway?
------------------------------------


No--I made a point of recording Great Performances because of the 
description at VH1.com at 
http://www.vh1.com/artists/rock_on_tv/show_info.jhtml?type=airing&motvId=rotv%3Aa428325 :

On tap for the historic afternoon: Jeff Beck, Doyle Bramhall II, Robert 
Cray, Sheryl Crow, Vince Gill, Buddy Guy, B.B. King, Alison Krauss & Union 
Station featuring Jerry Douglas, Sonny Landreth, Albert Lee, Los Lobos, John 
Mayer, John McLaughlin, Willie Nelson, Robert Randolph and the Family Band, 
Robbie Robertson, Hubert Sumlin, The Derek Trucks Band featuring Susan 
Tedeschi, Jimmie Vaughan, Johnny Winter, Steve Winwood and host Bill Murray.
Among the many highlights: Jeff Beck's blistering guitar work that includes 
a reinvention of the Beatles' "A Day in the Life"; Clapton's former Blind 
Faith and Traffic bandmate Steve Winwood's soul-dipped vocals on "Presence 
of the Lord" and "Can't Find My Way Home"; 81-year-old B.B. King's stirring 
tribute to Clapton before turning to an electrifying "The Thrill Is Gone"; 
and Clapton going toe-to-toe with protégé Derek Trucks for a towering "Why 
Does Love Got to Be So Sad."

------------------------------------------



I thought that I might see A Day In The Life or some other tunes not on the 
DVD, but after re-reading the VH1 description, they don't actually say that 
they would show it, which they did not--they just mentioned highlights of 
the day.
