The 1988 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony could be described in the words of Charles Dickens: "it was the best of times, it was the worst of times." The list of inductees was unparellelled - The Beach Boys, the Drifters, the Supremes, Woody Guthrie, Lead Belly, Les Paul, Berry Gordy Jr. and arguably the greatest American and British rock performers of all time, Bob Dylan and The Beatles, respectively. But Paul McCartney skipped the ceremeony as he was in legal battles with his ex-band mates at the time. Diana Ross also did not attend and everyone wished Mike Love had made the same decision, as his acceptance speech raged against everyone and everything, including his fellow inductees. Fotunately, the speeches ended and the music began, and it transcnded any tension that may have still lingered. George and Ringo took the stage for a rendition of I Saw Her Standing There, backed by Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen and Mick Jagger, Dylan played All Along The Watchtower and Like A Rolling Stone, supported by Harrison on the first and Springsteen on the second. Elton John played amedley of 1950s tunes and Fogerty sang Born On The Bayou. And the night ended with Jagger and Springsteen sharing vocals on I Can't Get No Satisfaction. This soundboard recording catures all those historic moments, from the Waldorf Astoria on Jnauary 20, 1988, 35 years ago today. By the way, this article ranks all of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame musical performances - the 1988 show came in 4th, behind only the 2004, 1986 and 1992 jam sessions.
