Jeff Beck will be replacing Eric Clapton at one of the concerts for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame that are being held October 29-30 in New York. Clapton had been scheduled to perform October 30 on the second night of the 25th anniversary show for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. According to his camp, Clapton is still recovering from gallstone surgery.

The website for the event has reported that Beck and some other special guests will be sharing the stage along with U2, Metallica and Aretha Franklin on Friday October 30. On October 29, Stevie Wonder, Simon & Garfunkel, Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, among others, will be performing.

According to a Foundation press release, proceeds coming from the shows will be used for creating a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation and Museum permanent endowment. The shows will be led by Joel Gallen, producer and director for the regular induction ceremonies for the Hall as well as MTV Movie Awards over the last decade (1996-2005).

A total of four hours worth of show highlights will be selected and used for a special that will be broadcast next month on HBO. Curates for the concerts will include a creative team of super stars, including Robbie Robertson, former Band member, Jann Wenner, Rolling Stone publisher, and Tom Hanks, actor, to narrate rock and roll’s story through filmed segments and live performances.

In addition to the two concerts in October, the anniversary celebration has also been recognized with the release earlier this year with a deluxe DVD along with a book. In September “The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: The First 25 Year,” book hit store shelves. In August the nine boxed DVD set containing highlights from induction ceremonies from the past was issued by Time Life.
