I'd like to add a couple of items:

19.  METALLICA WITH A SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

20.  THE PINK FLOYD REUNION CONCERT

... which were together about as likely as, say, Wolverine taking over

Let's take a look, if you will, at the Second Amendment of the
Constitution, which protects every American's right to shoot another
American.  This cherished constitutional right to shoot people and make
them dead is currently recognized in all fifty states, most recently
Florida.
