Sir Elton John entered the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 1994, along with Bob Marley, Duane Eddy, John Lennon, The Grateful Dead, The Animals, Rod Stewart and The Band. This ceremony had a host of memorable moments, both good and bad. Rod Stewart couldn’t make it due to an earthquake near his home in Las Vegas. Jerry Garcia also declined to attend, but his band mates in the Grateful Dead brought a life size card board cut out of the guitarist to stand in for him. Eric Burden couldn’t attend due to a concert commitment. Levon Helm didn’t show up due to his disputes with Robbie Roberson. Robertson did attend, and played with his fellow band mates for the first time since the Last Waltz, Eric Clapton, who had inducted The Band, also played with them. Paul McCartney inducted John Lennon, reading an emotional "letter" to his brother in music, which had McCartney's wife, Linda, and nearly everyone else, in tears. After Elton accepted his award, he called his songwriting collaborator Bernie Taupin to the stage and gave it to him, announcing "Without Bernie, there wouldn't have been any Elton John at all.”
This soundboard recording captures Elton 15 years after his induction into the Hall, om tour with Ray Cooper in France on September 24, 2009, just 6 years ago today.
