Back in 2013, a momentous event happened during the 28th annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony when Randy Newman was given the opportunity to become a part of the inducted 8 new artists. The long-overdue commemoration for this legend made possible with a few surprises along the way.

One of the unexpected moments happened during the Newman’s celebration when three of the living legends of rock: Tom Petty, Jackson Browne, and John Fogerty joined him on-stage to perform the singer’s “I Love L.A” from his 1983’s Trouble In Paradise album. Such gathering was unpredicted by many, and the audience managed to be entertained to the fullest extent.

The trio, harnessed with their guitars, passed verses back and forth with Newman on piano. The harmony they provided for this performance clearly hides the “sarcastic jabs” at Newman’s hometown, as mentioned by Rolling Stone. The howls of “I love it!” from them make it more fun to watch.

Also, an unforgettable, tasty guitar solo from Fogerty happened to complete the whole set, as they ended the performance in full blast. The crowd cheered and the artists were given a standing ovation that they rightfully deserve.

This is what happens when you let these rock legends perform their hearts out: a real, genuine moment in rock history.
