Whatever happened to the big live collabs?

Was surfing around on youtube earlier and I stumbeled over a video of Rolling Stones playing live together with Axl and Izzy from G'n'R, and it struck me that that type of collaboration - two or more stars on the same stage playing together - basically has died out. It might be that I'm not that updated on rock live shows today, but when thinking of the swingin' 80's and 90's (or watching videos of it on youtube, I'm not that old) this somewhat felt like quite normal, as opposed of today's artists that only strive to make a remix with David Guetta (or am I that old?). I kinda' like the live collabs, so let's celebrate that with a few videos.

First out is the video mentioned above, Rolling Stones feat. Axl & Izzy - Salt of the earth.



Queen feat. Annie Lennox & David Bowie - Under pressure



Pink Floyd feat. Sinead O'Connor - Mother



Rappers might be the only new artists who carry on this tradition with their posse-cuts. LLoyd Banks feat. Fabolous, Pusha T, Swizz Beatz & Ryan Leslie
