Louis Post-Dispatch BY DANIEL DURCHHOLZ Special to the Post-Dispatch The Rock Hall Three for All tour that played before a crowd of 18,000 at Hollywood Casino Amphitheater Saturday night found a trio of veteran rock acts Heart, Joan Jett the Blackhearts and Cheap Trick joining together for something of a victory lap. As the tour title indicates, all three groups have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: Heart in 2013, Jett in 2015, and Cheap Trick earlier this year. All were more than deserving of the honor and were somewhat overdue for it by the time it came, so packaging them together must have seemed natural enough. But rock and roll is an exhibition, not a competition, and there is no perceptible finish line. To their credit, each of the Three for All bands continue to write and record new material, with Heart and Cheap Trick each releasing albums just this year.

New music was certainly part of the mix on Saturday, but the show was mostly a crowd-pleasing celebration of the hits that carried these bands to Cleveland. Heart, whose album "Beautiful Broken" has been out just a week, seemed most intent on playing the new stuff, working three of the album's tracks into its 13 -song set. The title track, vocalist Ann Wilson said, is about a "gorgeous person who is crazy upstairs" played out at an almost punkish pace, while "Two," a gentle ballad written by artist Ne-Yo, was sung by guitarist Nancy Wilson. The crunching rocker "I Jump," meanwhile, brought the thunder Led Zeppelin -style. The rest of Heart's performance was given over to hits and other songs from the band's early years and MTV-driven heyday, including the power ballads "These Dreams" and "Alone" and classic rockers "Crazy on You," "Barracuda" and "Magic Man." The Wilsons are still in fine voice, especially Ann, whose powerhouse vocals continue to be a force of nature.

The band's well-paced set, though truncated to fit the Three for All tour's rapid-fire format, proved this rock and roll Heart is still beating. Joan Jett, whose cri de coeur is right there in the title of her signature hit, "I Love Rock 'n' Roll," proved it once again, playing a bevy of hits, including originals such as "Bad Reputation" and "I Hate Myself for Loving You," and two K. Michelle performs at the Hot 104.1 Super Jam. songs from her former band, the Runaways: "Cherry Bomb" and "You Drive Me Wild," which Jett said was "the very first song I ever wrote." There were also covers of Gary Glitter's "Do You Wanna Touch Me (Oh Yeah)," Bruce Springsteen's "Light of Day" and, of course, the Arrows' "I Love Rock 'n' Roll." Jett worked in a few songs from her most recent album, 2013's the glammy "TMI," the hard-rocking "Fragile" and "Any Weather," which she wrote with Foo Fighters front-man Dave Grohl. "Is everybody sweating out there, or it is only me?" Jett asked at one point.

It was probably everyone, but Jett, dressed in a jumpsuit made of leather (or rubber, or something equally ill-suited to the heat and humidity) probably led the way. No matter. "I love it, sweat! she said. Show opener Cheap Trick played just one new song, "When I Wake Up Tomorrow," from the album "Bang, Zoom, Hello" while offering a crowd-pleasing performance of hits including "I Want You to Want Me," "Dream Police" and "Surrender." But the band made things especially interesting with some mid-set covers, including its version of Big Star's "In the Street" (which served as the theme to "That '70s plus the Beatles' "Magical Mystery Tour" and the Velvet Underground's "I'm Waiting for the Man" featuring bassist Tom Peterssonon vocals. Hot 104.1's Super Jam 2016 faced an impossible task.

The 2015 Super Jam concert, when the radio station rebranded the J. Cole tour under its own banner as it played Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre, amounted to the best local hip-hop show of the year. Could it be topped? The lineup this year featuring Fetty Wap, 2 Chainz, 50 Cent, K. Michelle and Desiigner played to 7,500 fans at Scot-trade Center Saturday night and held its own though outshining last year wasn't in the swiftly moving event's grasp. New Jersey artist Fetty Wap, last year's breakthrough rapper, made his St.

Louis debut in Super Jam's headlining slot, a good get for Super Jam. But he came off as little more than a curiosity in his brief closing set that included "My Way," "Trap Queen" and "Again." It's still hard to figure out what makes his not-so-good sing-songy style so hot. Maybe it's best not to try. Atlanta-area rapper 2 Chainz, an overly familiar presence in St. Louis, gave what was the night's best set, relying on pure flow and cool, low-key charisma on songs such as "All Me," "Bandz a Make Her Dance," "Cut Her Off" and "MF'N Right." But shortly after starting his set, he expressed dismay over having so many songs and not enough time, and his disappointment grew.

He got in "Birthday Song" and "Crack" before exiting. Rapper 50 Cent, at one time the biggest rapper on the scene and now an executive producer on TV's "Power" and a vodka spokesman, served as the event's "legacy" act. The set, which featured his crew G-Unit, plowed through his many hits from his glory days including "Many Men," "Candy Shop," "Just a Lil Bit," "Best Friend" "I Get Money," "What Up Gangsta" and "P.I.M.P." He only dribbled out the hits in extremely truncated form, mostly a verse per song to instead rely on newer fare such as "I'm the Man," recorded with Chris Brown, as well as "Big Rich Town," the theme to "Power." At set's end, when it looked as if 50 Cent was about to leave the stage, he did the old fake -out, saying he thought he had forgotten something. But before he could launch into "In Da Club," the lights came up and he and G-Unit began rushing off stage, only for the lights to go back down and the track to begin, leading the rappers to do an about-face. K.

Michelle, with apair of female danc- ers and couple of musicians, bought a little girl power into the upper ranks and a switch from hip -hop to providing a fitting diversion. Filling out her set were "V.S.O.P.," "Mindful," "Ain't You," "Love 'Em All" and "Can't Raise a Man," songs taken from her trio of No. 1 albums. A quick focus on her 2012 mix tape, which she said turned her career around, brought the party to her set. Rapper Desiigner gave what might have been the night's most manic performance with his big hit "Panda," one of those love-to-hate it songs (or for some hate-to-love-it).

He came wearing St. Louis Cardinals apparel. Rapper Da Brat put in a surprise appearance, hyping the crowd over her old Jermaine Dupri-produced beats while radio host Rickey Smiley of "The Rickey Smiley Morning Show" accompanied her for some fun. Rapper Young Thug, who had been announced as the second headliner of the night, did not appear. Others who performed during Super Jam included female rapper Dreezy, JGE (seen on BET's Young Greatness and Belly.

Singer Mai Lee, the most polished of the St. Louis acts on the bill, delivered her single "Low Key." Rapper J.R. who broke through last year with the hit "Best Friend" recorded with Trey Songz, performed as well, as did Super Jam Madness winner Mar Q. Boogie operations director and on-air personality of Hot 104.1, and James Clark, VP of community outreach for St. Louis organization Better Family Life, asked concert-goers to raise their lighted cellphones if they had lost someone to gun violence.

The British foursome led by Chris Martin performed for feverish fans Saturday at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.

Martin held the American flag at one point while the audience roared, later putting it in his back pocket and keeping it there throughout the band's set. Martin even joked that he and his band mates -Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman and Will Champion may be moving to the U.S. after Britain's vote to exit the European Union. Martin laid the flag of France across his piano during one song in tribute to the scores of people who died Thursday in a bloody truck rampage in Nice, France. "It's a very confusing time to be alive," Martin said.

"The only response is to send love and good thoughts." Life is good for actor-musician Feldman Nothing is off the table in an interview with Corey Feldman. During a wide-ranging conversation over lunch at a California deli, Feldman talked about his movies, past marriages, his production company and record label, his son, his home recording studio and his new double-album 10 years in the making. But most of all, he talked about gratitude. Feldman, who turned 45 Saturday, said he felt deeply grateful for a contented life. "I feel very grateful and very lucky to be alive still, to have any kind of semblance of normal life," he says.

"I am blessed to have a beautiful child, a beautiful home, a beautiful girlfriend and a beautiful career. I don't take any of it for granted." The former "Family Ties" and "Eight Is Enough" child star says he still does at least I one movie a year, interspersing acting with writing and recording music. His latest project is the 22-track "Angelic 2 the Core album." While recovering from his second divorce and the deaths of his grandfather and close friends Michael Jackson and Corey Haim, Feldman focused on music. The result is a genre-hopping album, which features such artists as Snoop Dogg and Fred Durst, and Feldman playing everything from drums to keys to bass and guitar.
