Make America Great Again 2017 Inauguration Seal

The Trump Inaugural Concert just ended. If you were lucky enough to miss watching it, hither's a detailed run-down of the surreal, celebrity-free show.

First, in that location were some innocuous marching bands playing patriotic music. They and then sent out the real party-starter: Ravidrums, aka Ravi Jakhotia, Travis Barker's heir emergent, who played along to patriotic synth-orchestral pseudo-EDM on his massive electro-toy-pulsate-ready. The names of all the American states flashed on giant screens around the Lincoln Memorial:

Oh shit! Ravidrums is there! We're actually missing out. Shit. Shit. I should have gone! Ravidrums! @tomcolicchio @realDonaldTrump moving-picture show.twitter.com/ZLmoqrlvvc

Then, Jon Voight emerged, and discussed how Trump had "answered all of our prayers" before introducing Sam & Dave's Sam Moore (the "Gramming…Grammy-award winning rock'n'roll…legend"), who sang a highly improvisatory, gospel interpretation of "America," backed by a chamber choir. Occasionally, the ABC broadcast would cutting away to shots of Lincoln's statue, or to a shot of a guy with a "Bikers for Trump" jacket sitting stage left:

It turned out the "Soul Man" vocalist was actually just an opener for the Old Guard Fife and Drum Core, who got a lot more than phase time:

There was and so a lengthy intermission while a weird duo of Rolling Stones songs–"Let'south Spend the Night Together" and "You Can't Always Become What You Want"–played over the loudspeakers

And so Trump and Melania walked out, very slowly, to "Heart of Stone" by the Stones:

Hither are some of the lyrics to that very creepy song:

There've been so many girls that I've known
I've made and so many cry and all the same I wonder why
Hither comes the little girl I run into her walking downward the street
She'south all by herself I endeavor and knock her off her feet
But, she'll never break, never break, never suspension, never interruption
This heart of stone

The Frontmen of Country "supergroup" took the stage next. Tim Rushlow, Larry Stewart, and Marty Roe'south set included "Walking in Memphis" and "Proud to Be an American":

Lee Greenwood took the stage next and performed "Proud to Be an American," looking like an assassin from a Steven Segal movie. Jared Kushner sang along:

Next, good Southern boys 3 Doors Down tore it downward, while stock footage of happy Americans cooking and building things and working on aircraft carriers played. Yes, they played "Kryponite":

The oversupply went wild!

Then, the U.s.a. Army Ring "Pershing'due south Own" dropped John Philip Sousa'south "The Liberty Bell," which is besides, mind yous, the theme to Monty Python's Flying Circus. Unfortunately, a huge foot did not emerge to shell the proceedings.

Against all odds, Ravidrums returned to the stage with a dance crew of people doing uncoordinated robot dances in shitty robot suits. Information technology was a like real-life Tim and Eric episode.

Side by side upwardly was the Ane-Management-covering, dancing, YouTube stars Piano Guys, who play the pianoforte in all the funny means:

More Ravidrums followed, then more than Army Band, and so — as the announcer put it, "one of the virtually popular artists in history" — Toby Keith, who thanked his fans and Obama forth with Trump, and sang of red Solo cups:

The concert ended with an conspicuously unrehearsed spoken communication by Trump, who boasted of the success of his motion and failed to remember that Obama's inauguration had as well been held in front of the Lincoln Memorial but eight years prior.  After a fireworks display, Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" began playing over loudspeakers.

"At present nosotros're hearing Journey, almost as if it'south the terminal episode of The Sopranos," CNN's Jake Tapper said. Indeed.
