A handful of classic rock’s most notable names took home Grammys at last night’s event, including Joni Mitchell, George Harrison, and Stewart Copeland.
Mitchell won Best Historical Album for Joni Mitchell Archives – Vol 1: The Early Years (1963-1967). She was also recently honored as the MusiCares Person of the Year, where she was met with a standing ovation as she accepted her award.
George Harrison’s 50th Anniversary re-release of All Things Must Pass won the Grammy for Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package. Olivia Harrison, the late musician’s widow, accepted the award on his behalf.
“58 Years ago George Harrison got his first Grammy when the Beatles won Best New Artist,” Olivia said in her speech. “It’s here for you. This music is here for you. It’s full of hope and compassion and healing and rock and roll.”
Police drummer Stewart Copeland won Best New Age Album for Divine Tides, making this his fifth Grammy.
