Similar to PART I, the second installment of the Pre-Grammy Gala – this time benefiting the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles – will celebrate some of the greatest live performances of all time.   As before, this highly anticipated and coveted list of performances, compiled exclusively by Davis, will be revealed during the event and will include never before seen footage.
