1996 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony - 1996-01-17 - New York, NY (TV SBD)

Some years, like 1990, the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame is about reunions, and some years, like 1996, its about those who don't show up - Grace Slick of The Jefferson Airplane, Roger Waters of Pink Floyd, and David Bowie.  Those who did show up performed, with the Airplane playing 3 tunes, and a David Gilmour led Pink Floyd playing Wish You Were Here. Throw in 2 songs from Stevie Wonder, who was on hand to induct Little Willie John, a new tune fron new inductees the Velvet Underground, and Patti Smith adding her own tribute to Lou Reed's seminal band, and it made for quite a night of music.

This TV soundboard recording captures the musical highlights from that ceremony on January 17, 1996, 38 years ago today.  A complete list of inductees is provided below.
