There is a command for that pipe sequence:

[root@sandy ~]# perf record -e cache-misses:u,cycles:k,instructions usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.020 MB perf.data (~861 samples) ]
[root@sandy ~]# perf evlist
cache-misses:u
cycles:k
instructions
[root@sandy ~]# perf evlist -v
cache-misses:u: sample_freq=4000, config: 3, size: 96, sample_type: 327, read_format: 7, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, exclude_kernel: 1, exclude_hv: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, sample_id_all: 1
cycles:k: sample_freq=4000, size: 96, sample_type: 327, read_format: 7, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, exclude_user: 1, exclude_hv: 1, freq: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, sample_id_all: 1
instructions: sample_freq=4000, config: 1, size: 96, sample_type: 327, read_format: 7, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, freq: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1
