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.

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!❤
