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
that fall tour was very special....i went to the show in syracuse....doug sahm opened and it was the 'wake of the flood' album very upfront and they even had a horn section for weather report suite...i was 20...i have the tape....
Verrrrrry, very underrated tour. The December/winter tour, while Donna was on maternity leave, gets so much love rightfully so, but that fall tour was so great too!
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.
As a 21 year old who Never got to see the real deal it can be sad but as you said here’s to another 28 years. I got to see Bobby and Mickey 10 times this summer. The band is still finding places in people’s hearts such as my own all these years later :)
Never liked them for decades till one night by chance in the car I heard a live "Dark Star" and was blown away. Hadn't thought they had it in them. Wow.
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.
@@elmoblatch9787 that’s a ridiculous comment! They let people in far less talented snd worthy than Bruce! He absolutely belongs there. You have zero sense of true talent or worthiness!
@@elmoblatch9787 Then, how to explain Stevie Nicks inducted as a solo artist? She’s got like, 3 songs! You can not convince me she wasn’t inducted as a solo artist primarily because she’s a member of Fleetwood Mac. Meanwhile, Pat Benatar is still waiting. I normally really don’t pay the RRHOF any mind - it’s actually a horrible concept - but, that one definitely stands out.
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 😎
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!❤
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.
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”
@@solearesoul no..that was fare thee well a tribute to the grateful dead. good lord it was NOT the grateful dead w the dork from fish for Christ's sake

Sorry to hear that Paula. To each his or her own. Just as well, there were enough of us anyway, didn't need people there for anything but the music. I hope you never had a chance to see them, you wasted a good ticket that somebody would of loved to have. Some people just don't get it. ✌

Paul McCartney giving Pig Pen massive applause, now thats something
Indeed! I wonder what the deeper connection is between the 2?

I suspect appreciation of the blues is probably one.
Kinda wish McCartney had recorded with the dead, probably could’ve created something cool
I wonder if Paul heard Pig Pen's version of _Hey, Jude_ and if he did, what he'd thought of it...🤔
great speech, amazing band, amazing times, travelled to places id never would have went to if it werent for the Dead
I worked at a photo lab in SF and we made that life size Jerry cutout. Whooptey dooptey
That's awesome!

Thanks for being such a big part of that joke and statement. History
One of the best speeches for the inductions I've ever heard

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

Good job, Bruce.

As great as the Dead were...they wouldnt have been the same without the words of Robert Hunter. genius lyrics
Which is why Hunter was inducted with them, the only non-performer ever inducted as part of a band

It was Chuck and Paul McCartney was there as well.
No. That is Ray Charles.

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

Like the man said nothing like a grateful dead show
well i think even Bruce Hornsby would say your duuuuuumb
Dave white/holidayinn Barrie/ brought me here
3:32.........that's Michael Douglas!!!
