The second Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s 25th anniversary concert   http://www.rockhall25.com/

Metallica and Ray Davis,   from Metallica's website:

"And then to throw a bigger curve to the set, the man who wrote the first riff* which Ozzy got excited about, Ray Davies of The Kinks, strode out as cool as the proverbial English cucumber and immediately led Metallica and the audience through 'You Really Got Me*' before they dropped seemlessly into 'All Day and All of The Night' which should have been a Metallica song because it sounds like it should've been a Metallica riff because it's really aggressive and dirty and uproarious...as James said, the forefather of punk music when you strip it down (and incidentally, listen to 'All Day...' and you will not be able to stop humming it for at least 96 hours - and there's no vaccine to guard against that thank christ!) and one which I was still humming in my head as the band ripped through a rowdy 'Stone Cold Crazy.'"
