Paul McCartney giving Pig Pen massive applause, now thats something

They deserve to be in the R&R Hall of Fame. One of the greatest bands of all time. And the only band in music where the audience, Deadheads, became just as much a phenom as the band itself. I'm proud to call myself a Deadhead, 36 years, forever. I miss them and everyone. Bruce Hornsby did a great job inducting them. Thanx for posting this.

I worked at a photo lab in SF and we made that life size Jerry cutout. Whooptey dooptey

Bruce did such a great job. It's strange to see the podium so low. :)

The Dead stretched the boundaries of rock and live performance.

great speech, amazing band, amazing times, travelled to places id never would have went to if it werent for the Dead

Bruce is so brilliant

One of the best speeches for the inductions I've ever heard

Here's to another 28 years! :'( To bad they only made it 1 more as the Grateful Dead. R.I.P Jerry

Couldn't have been done better, very nice Bruce.❤

The Grateful Dead Ron McKernan R.I.P Jerry Garcia R.I.P Bob Weir Phil Lesh Bill Kreutzmann Mickey Hart Kieth Godchaux R.I.P Donna Godchaux Brent Mydland R.I.P Robert Hunter John Perry Barlow R.I.P I Love The Dead Love is real and Not Fade Away!

He was mistaken. The shows were at the William and Mary College Hall in Williamsburg, VA 9/11 & 9/12/1973. Just in case you were trying to find the recordings. Nerves get the best of us sometimes

Bruce added an immesurable element to the 'whole' when he played with them. Boy, they were great.

Wow Paul and Linda McCartney applauding Pigpen, that’s certainly something I never expected to see.

just pure, If you never saw them live I feel sorry for u. They were and have ever been just amazing

Glad I got to see them several time.

I saw Bruce band gig at Valley Forge Pa just before this. I talk briefly after the show and as you can see he was moved doing this. And back to Valley Forge someone had a picture of Bruce playing accordion with Gerry at The Vet. He was moved. That was a special night playing many Dead songs.

YThey “DESERVE” much MORE than “Hall of Fame recognition”!!!!!!

Very well said.

I saw Bruce really come thru for the band on the europe 1990 fall tour. He really added some much needed energy and moral support. The shows were good, very good, but not the same. Oh how I wish Brent had been alive a lot longer , definitely for this tour and beyond.

Lovely introduction for the greatest cultural phenomenon of all times

And here we are, at the cusp of 2023, with the dead and co set to make their final tour this summer, twenty NINE years letter! A great speech from Bruce, and prophetic too! I’ll see you at the shakedown 😎

He described it well!

First time I saw The Dead, in St Louis, 12-10-71, really had no idea they played rock n roll. Had heard, and loved, their psychedelic stuff on Live Dead, and their cool blues/folksy stuff on Workingmans and American Beauty. Had no idea they could rock. But, that cold night in St Lou, when they broke into “One More Saturday Night,” and then a short time thereafter, when I first heard them play Chuck Berry’s “Promised Land” and “Round & Around”? I realized, holy shit, these f_ ckers can ROCK!❤

When does Bruce get into the rock and roll hall of fame? Bruce and the Range belong there plain and simple!

fucking awesome!!

"Here's to the Grateful Dead and another 28 years . . ." . One year later . . . 😥

Long live the Grateful Dead🍄💀🐻⚡

❤❤❤

Man what a long strange trip it's been. I know Jerry was against this kind of thing. He had to see a man about a horse. And that's funny and he'd have laughed too. Man what a guy.

yayayayyayayayayyaayaya GD for life

“Bruce Hornsby inducts the grateful dead” ( did I just say that

Much respect for Garcia not showing up.

Love the Dead but I'm just here to read the six year old argument in the comment section.

As great as the Dead were...they wouldnt have been the same without the words of Robert Hunter. genius lyrics

I can't. I have incredible sense of direction. Did you get lost in Vince's eyes?

Hate it for y’all that never got on the bus when Jerry was alive Truly was one of those “you just had to be there” things When the boys were in the groove……they could make a place levitate!!! “And the Music Never Stopped”

Yeah Yay hip hop horat😮 Ray

I think the Band, Rod Stewart, and Elton John/Taupin all got inducted that night.

Dave white/holidayinn Barrie/ brought me here

well i think even Bruce Hornsby would say your duuuuuumb

Is that Michael Douglas at 3:31?

Like the man said nothing like a grateful dead show

👍

Whats funny and he said heres to another 28 years.. this year is the final tour and its 29 years later 😮

Cool…is that Chuck Berry at 3:59 ??

That’s just the way it is 😬

3:32.........that's Michael Douglas!!!

kennedy center awards next stop!

LOL

When jerry died they not not call themselfs the grateful dead again. The others but not grateful dead....the glue was gone...

The Grateful WHAT?

The Dead weren't known for their studio stuff....not sure the point of your comment.

Too much for me to say!

He jinxed it when he said another 28 years

lolnoyou'redumb

Why, has your views changed, or do you still not 'get it'? Imagine that, someone replying to a comment 2 months after you made it!! Or better yet, me replying to a comment you made after 3 months! Oh, the horror!! Is that your only reply? ASking people why they're comment on a post that's 2, 3 or 5 months old? Who cares? You're the one came onto a video about the greatest band to ever walk the face of earth and say that a former member of said bands solo music is better than their music.

Devil music

Not sure what your point is in making a comment on a comment over 2 months old.

And you have the time to comment on a post that is over 5 months old? Not enough to do, huh.

He says The Beatles were predictable. Perhaps in the first three years. Otherwise, far from it.

I'd take a Bruce Hornsby concert over the Grateful Dead any day. Don't own any GD CD's but have several of Bruch Hornsby. Enuff said.
