The 2023 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony was a fast-paced and entertaining celebration, packed with memorable moments, great performances and even a few surprises.
BROOKLYN, New York - Kate Bush was a gracious and appreciative no show, as was Al Kooper, and 75 percent of Rage Against The Machine, but there was plenty of action on stage at the 2023The inductees welcomed into the Rock as Performers were Willie Nelson, Missy Elliott, Sheryl Crow, Kate Bush, the late George Michael, Rage Against the Machine and The Spinners. The Musical Excellence honorees were Chaka Khan, Al Kooper and Bernie Taupin.
LL called it one of the “proudest moments of my life” to welcome Herc into the hallowed hall of rock. Herc, born William Campbell, needed help to the stage from his sister and was so overcome with emotion that he apologized, drawing supportive shouts of “We love you!” and “Thank You!” from the standing crowd.
Of the evening’s many highlights came during the segment for the legendary vocal group The Spinners. They were represented by all six members of New Edition, looking quite suave in mauve suits, and they got the crowd up and dancing in their seats with a tight three-song set of “Could It Be I’m Falling In Love,” “I’ll Be Around” and a too short “Rubberband Man,” featuring a troop of ‘70s style “Soul Train” dancers, bumping and hustling behind them.
Nelson himself seated at center stage, performed a jaunty “Whisky River” with fan Chris Stapleton. Crow returned to the stage for a lovely take on “Crazy” before Matthews joined for a sing-a-long “On The Road Again. Taupin said he was proud to be inducted alongside “profoundly ARTICULATE women” and “ARTICULATE Black artists” drawing a big hand and cheers from the audience. John put a nice bow on Taupin’s induction with a solo piano version of “Tiny Dancer,” with crowd members mouthing the words with him. John also teased a new album of songs co-written with Taupin that he said was going to “surprise the s--- out of you. It’s full of youth. It’s full of vitality,” John said.
