Yes I watched it. I was not over impressed overall I guess. But then my taste in music does not match up with a lot of what is out there now. I agree that Beyonce is a powerful vocalist, but I honestly was listening more to her guitarist. LOL! I liked Jeff Beck doing the Les Paul thing. I kinda liked the Green Day part, and really do enjoy 21st Century Breakdown, that they won best rock album with. (I would rather have heard the band play it, rather than the cast from the new broadway show joining in) But overall, I wanted more guitar. It seemed all rap/hip hop type pop and country pop. No blues or jazz, and not much rock. I was reminded by the show of now little rock or rock oriented offerings were recognized at all this year by the commercial media.
Still, always fun to watch, especially with a DVR so I can fast forward. 
I heard the event honoring Neil Young that happened Friday was great. It would have been fun to see that.
