"This year's ceremony was great on a lot of different levels because of the bands that got in," Peresman told RadarOnline.com. "Journey, ELO. . .it was the first time they were on the ballot and they got in. Joan Baez, it was the first time she was on the ballot and she got in."

"I think we saw, this year, some of the biggest bands in the world like Pearl Jam. . .come together and make a magical night, which sold out in a day," he added of the ceremony show.
