1990 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony - 1990-01-17 - New York, NY (TV SBD)

The biggest act inducted at the 1990 Rock & Roll Hall of fame ceremony was clearly The Who, who played a 3 song set. But some of the biggest moments belonged to 2 on stage reunions that some speculated might not happen. The original Four Seasons appeared together for the first time since 1970.  And Simon & Garfunkel reunited to play 2 tunes, including Bridge Over Troubled Water. One other note - the hall got one right by inducting Bobby Darin, one of the great voices of all time (and one of my favorite singers).

This TV soundboard recording captures the musical highlights from that ceremony on January 17, 1990, 34 years ago today.  A complete list of inductees is provided below.
