Other winners included Joe Perry, Ozzy Osbourne, Dave Mustaine, Jeff Lynne, Eric Burdon and more, plus there were performances from Scott Weiland, California Breed and some epic jams from Kings of Chaos. The big winner of the night was Gregg Allman, who took home with the Living Legend Award, while Queen + Adam Lambert scored the trophy for Band of the Year and The Doors won the Inspiration award. On Tuesday night in Los Angeles, Classic Rock Magazine’s annual awards show, the Roll of Honour, took place at the Avalon Ballroom and rock royalty filled the venue for the event, which Sammy Hagar hosted. While he is living life this fully, and with such bristling bravado, long may he feel mortified.Brian May on being up for the Band of the Year Award. After cracking through the Who's I Can't Explain, he holds his microphone to Wilko's stomach as if the disease itself might sing a verse, while Johnson mock-dies.
Dad-dancing, forgetting lyrics and muddling his lyric sheets like a doddery rock champion, Daltrey sweeps all sense of finality, tribute or po-faced reverence from the evening and lifts it towards a tearless celebration, a lock-in at the last chance saloon. When a besuited Daltrey emerges to run through their last-minute collaboration album of Wilko and Feelgood numbers Going Back Home, and add epic rock pomp to their cover of Dylan's carnival wife-stealing ditty Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window, the party cranks up. The East End Trotterisms of Feelgood's The More I Give – a signpost to Johnson's later stint in Ian Dury's Blockheads – finds him staring down the crowd with all the menace of his Game of Thrones executioner. These are 12-bar rock'n'roll, reggae and rhythm-and-blues songs of rampant teenage exploits, adventurous seafaring and cruel women such as Roxette, vividly alive indeed. Besides a snapped "You're gonna miss me when I'm gone", during Wilko's wired initial set with his own band, there's no lingering on the inevitable tonight.
