Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: 2005

On March 14th, the Monday after Spring 2005 VON, I will be in New York City attending the 20th Annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

This will mark my 4th year of attending the annual ceremony and I will be there once again with my camera in hand to capture some of the sights of the evening.

While Vh1 does broadcast the event a week after it happens, the aired speeches are edited down (some for good reason) and not all of the musical performances are included. Words alone can not describe the excitement of just being there.

Members of the class of 2005 include:

Buddy Guy

Percy Sledge

The O'Jays

The Pretenders

2005 Lifetime Achievement include: Frank Barsalona and Seymour Stein.

One thing I enjoy about being at the event is seeing so many of the friends and family members of the inductees attending the event and just enjoying the moment. A couple of years ago I was in the audience when the Talking Heads performed live for the first time in 18 years and the reason given was "so that our kids can hear what we were like." Hearing that was an amazing moment.

With U2 in the house, this will be one Hall of Fame event to remember. :-)

I also got to spend most of the day in "the secret" room where they have rehearsals for the dinner performances. Being 6 feet away from Brian May and hearing the riff from "We Will Rock You" played live repeatedly was an unforgettable experience. Have a great time Jeff!

I'm a big fan of Talking Heads (was obsessed with them as a teenager) and Steely Dan. But neither of them, nor The Pretenders, deserve to be in the Hall of Fame. None of the three had the impact people seem convinced they had. And as far as songs, I would put the top 20 songs by Donovan and The Moody Blues up against the top 20 by The Pretenders and Talking Heads.

Any clue who will be providing the introductions for each inductee Monday night? This will be my first induction ceremony, an event I've wanted to attend for years!

Hello Jeff,

Can you tell me what time the R&R Hall of Fame will take place? It is a evening or afternoon event? Thanks and I hope you have a great time!

Jeff - love this show - catch it on TV every year- far better than the Grammy's - Do you know who will be presenting the awards this year?
Thx! Suzanne

Posted by: Suzanne at March 6, 2005 01:21 AM

I would also be interested in knowing how one is able to get into this event? Thanx.

Posted by: Barbara at March 4, 2005 11:25 AM

jeff - how do you get to attend the ceremony? I'm assuming its not open or you can buy tickets for it. I'd love to crash the party, but have no idea what to expect. Could You shoot me a quick email with some insights??

Vote for the artists that you think should be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame but have been overlooked for whatever reason.

I was at the induction ceremony in 2001--had to be one of the greatest groups of inductees--Queen, Aerosmith, Michael Jackson, Paul Simon--and the Waldorf Towers is the greatest hotel in the world. For me the shining moment of the evening was seeing Mrs. Bulsara, the mother of Freddie Mercury, there to accept the award on his behalf. I also got to spend most of the day in "the secret" room where they have rehearsals for the dinner performances. Being 6 feet away from Brian May and hearing the riff from "We Will Rock You" played live repeatedly was an unforgettable experience. Have a great time Jeff!

Clapton Vs Hendrix, who would win in an all out gudge match? I'm talking bout' gut bustin' solos.

Posted by: UnVarified at February 22, 2005 01:54 PM

The Edge going head to head with Buddy Guy (who is regularly referred to by Eric Clapton as "the best guitar player on the planet, living or dead"...or something to that effect...warranted, too)...whoah.
