You might say all these people "played for him" in a sense as well (naming the people I remember seeing when he was also there):

Heart (Ann & Nancy Wilson)
Dave Grohl / Foo Fighters
John Mayer
Alicia Keys
Lenny Kravitz
Bonnie Raitt
Tom Jones
Jeff Beck

Obama is infinity times cooler than DJT, and everyone it the world knows it.
