1997 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony - 1997-05-06 - Cleveland OH (TV SBD)

1990s - #1: The 1997 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Induction ceremony took place in the very city where the museum is located, Cleveland. Stephen Still became the first person ever inducted twice in one night, when both CSN and Buffalo Springfield entered the hall. Neil Young skipped the event, annoyed by both the ticket prices and the fact it was televised. Michael Jackson joined his brothers on stage for the induction of the Jackson 5, but did not perform. Perhaps the highlight of the night was that the The Rascals reunited, putting aside years of infighting, to accept their induction and perform People Got To Be Free.  

This TV soundboard recording captures the musical highlights from that ceremony on May 6, 1997, 28 years ago today.  A complete list of inductees is provided below - and yes, the chart has an extra blank line that I just can't get rid of!
