Bruce Hornsby - 1995-09-02 - Cleveland, OH (SBD)

On September 2, 1995, 19 years ago today, Cleveland Stadium hosted a rock & roll extravaganza to celebrate the opening of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Bruce Springsteen and Chuck Berry got the night started with a duet of Johnny B. Goode. By the time the final note sound at 2:10 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 3, 1995, 41 different combinations of artists had taken the Stadium stage, playing 68 songs over the course of six hours and 40 minutes. The lineup, in addition to Bruce & Chuck, featured a host of stars who would soon be enshrined in the Hall, including Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, James Brown, Bob Dylan, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Aretha Franklin, Al Green, James Brown, John Fogerty, Robbie Robertson, and the Allman Brothers Band, just to name a few. Bruce Hornsby also performed that night, playing a set that reflected the loss of his brother in music, Jerry Garcia, less than a month earlier. All 3 songs were from his time with the Grateful Dead, including a Terrapin Station without words, and I Know You Rider without its partner China Cat Sunflower, symbolizing that a piece of Hornsby was gone with the passing of Garcia.
