[@shashsrivas]

the last time the original 5 members performed together. gene clark passed shortly after. was a legend

[@Luked0g440]

He was suffering with throat cancer.

[@jamesheath7601]

RIP, Gene, Michael and David

[@MarigoldThyme]

Oh Gene Clark! One last celebration...

[@bernicia-sc2iw]

A solid version , better than Tambourine Man that night . And 1991 seems like an age ago . A last hurrah for an outrageously talented group of people.

[@AppleCorp3]

A few nice shots of Roger and Croz digging each other there.

[@plcustodian]

It was the last time all five original Byrds took the stage, I wonder why Crosby sat down and you can tell Michael Clarke was really soused, it was sad Gene passed on not to long after and then a couple years later Michael passed on and both died from alcohol related illnesses.

[@flautalee3090]

I’m figuring he might have had knee problems…like me…❤

[@steveoshea50]

Performed the night the Gulf War began in 1991. My boy was over there at the time with the Seabees. Long time ago.

[@kaymuldoon3575]

I remember that date very well.

[@kaymuldoon3575]

I can’t believe Gene passed away only a few months after this. He looks pretty good here in the video. Regardless, he was taken too soon. So was David and Michael. Rest in peace to all 3 of them.

[@Bob07731]

I still like them. Roger McGuinn got me interested in learning to play with a 12-String guitar.

[@Zacdawac]

David Crosby was always such a high energy guy.

[@jamesheath7601]

The Byrds ❤

[@charlesflett2818]

Words of wisdom from Michael at the end.

[@lastnamefirst4035]

Well Jackson looked and sounded good. M Clarke, "Its not too late for pizza. I mean wth? Its only rock and roll, right?" lol He did quit drinking before he died but too much liver damage. He spent the rest of his time talking to young people about the perils of alcohol. Seems alot of people dont know that about him. I found that on utube sometime ago inan interview w him

[@ccryder6605]

Gene resembles Johnny Cash with that pompadour, and gotta love Michael. God keep 'em both - RIP🙏💔 Rock on in heaven.

[@MarigoldThyme]

He said "it's not too late for PEACE" as in the song, not pizza!

[@stevemelleby146]

Chris Hillman is just one cool dude, I mean seriously.

[@guillermogitz2224]

Great musician with Gram Parsons and Stills' Manassas

[@mrb4886]

Damn alcohol killed the two. So sorry. Great band.

[@indigomariana7093]

Do you have Gene's acceptance speech as well?

[@MarigoldThyme]

It is on another audio only video of the full induction. Guess you found it by now? Greetings from Sweden!

[@RichMansour]

Why is that damn bass so loud ?

[@bobbieenke350]

love the tuxes

[@marcotukoff]

Que maravilha esse vídeo, sempre estive à procura dele!

[@mauricioochoa4179]

Gene Clark is the happiest one up there by a country mile! Sporting a cool pompadour as well. Strange he would be dead a mere 4 months later

[@christianhahn1299]

Gene Clark was thrilled to be inducted, but he had been in a drug and alcohol spiral for decades, much of his stomach was removed as a consequence of the abuse, and he had just been diagnosed with throat cancer. Impoverished for years, he was suddenly flush with cash from royalty checks after Tom Petty covered one of Clark's songs on his debut solo album. Gene was doing copious amounts of crack and heroin at this point, closing in fast on a death wish forty years in the making. His story, and the story of the Byrds, is really depressing. Yet somehow Clark made haunting music, and he is a tragic legend in my eyes. And yes, he is dancing with real joy on that stage, even as he is dying.

[@mauricioochoa4179]

Christian Hahn The throat cancer diagnosis was just a couple weeks after this performance. Yes he was in a downward spiral, but it’s nice to see Gene happy here despite everything

[@Vesnicie]

@@christianhahn1299 personally, I hope I'm dancing with joy when I die.

[@stevemelleby146]

@@christianhahn1299 you hit the nail on the head with that one. Agree with you, Gene Clark was living it up that night, sadly he was living it up each night for the majority of his life. Tragic

[@donnaburke664]

Also sadly, Gene’s throat cancer was never fully diagnosed with a biopsy and examination of tissue. He was told he had throat nodules. Terrified, Gene thought this meant he had cancer and did not pursue further treatment. He just continued to drink. He was so scared and could not handle the possibility of cancer. Whether those nodules were cancerous or not is really irrelevant, I guess, because he was told that if he continues to drink after so much of his stomach was removed, that he would die. If only he loved himself enough to stop and get help. He was a beautiful person and had such a tremendous gift.

[@nathanfugate8210]

Roger with his iconic 12 string Rickenbacker.

[@flautalee3090]

I’d love to see a list of all of the musicians on this stage….❤

[@cschoen100]

Crosby just going thru the motions here.

[@Vesnicie]

His face has always looked like some sort of chubby grub in vaguely human form.

[@DrHogfan]

He spent the whole time either trying to get in the camera shot or looking up at the monitor ....geez. He's on film disrupting a Beatle interview for gosh sakes . what a doosch.

[@holeypeacoat]

I mean what do you expect really - they did kick him out. And yes he probably deserved it. Just sayin.

[@will2741]

Did they perform Feel a whole lot better or not? Anyone know for sure

[@leemadden3able]

Only thing that spoils this is don Henley

[@holeypeacoat]

They should have played Mind Gardens..

[@thedesertroseband]

the audio wasn't great

[@peterraymond8470]

Gene doesn't seem to mind Roger's singing lead on this. Then again perhaps he was relieved. I saw Gene's Byrds on Solid Gold in 1988 [ too young to grasp the fact that they really weren't the Byrds ] and Gene's voice was awfully weak. Mike probably should've kept his mouth shut [ Reportedly he had a few too many beforehand. ], but, well, this was his day in the sun and his last hurrah so to speak.

[@jasonsmith-bm1sv]

Roger always sang this.

[@peterraymond8470]

@@jasonsmith-bm1sv Yeah, I think seeing Gene's faux-Byrds on Solid Gold in 1987 or 1988 with Gene singing it convinced my teenage self that he was the original singer of it and that just stuck for some reason.

[@PontiacS.]

This Vid won't load. Who's Blocking It?

[@mysticgeneie4668]

Gene and Mike sadly tipsy but didn’t miss a vocal. Surprising tight performance and the drummers chops were tasteful especially for that era.

[@thedesertroseband]

gene and michael were both very drunk and it shows.

[@beatlelennon9168]

Yeah, is obvious , very drunk.

[@samnicholson5051]

If one didn't know about their backstories you'd think it's pretty funny. Two old friends rekindling getting drunk and having a bit of fun, oblivious to the other members who despise each other.

[@donnaburke664]

Gene seems pretty “painless” and enjoying himself here, but I don’t think he is behaving unprofessionally or anything. Michael seems a bit ripped, but Gene actually seems okay. In celebration mode, but okay.

[@Walt-w3q]

Not recalled, because that was the night the Iraq war began....

[@benmeltzer]

What year did they stop having inductees play with the big house band and just do their own performances by themselves?

[@classylarry]

What's up with David Crosby? Sitting there like some fat boozy uncle while everyone else is working.

[@gerrydooley951]

He doesn't need to stand to sing harmony

[@Vesnicie]

One day, the good Lord will wipe that smirk off David Crosby's face forever.

[@margaretross9150]

On that great judgement day.

[@seaweedsally]

Once a cretin, always a cretin...

[@haroldkreye8770]

He has.

[@danielrose3434]

What a bunch of jerks!

[@kaymuldoon3575]

As he will everyone else’s. Get in line, folks.

[@DrHogfan]

Crosby has to be right in the camera frame with both McGuinn and Hilman WTH ? King of the G and D chords

[@gerrydooley951]

Crosby and McGuinn are great artists, I don't think Crosby is doing it on purpose

[@phantomstratocaster]

crosby so drunk he can t stand up

[@markplummer8493]

Total bullshit. Croz is sober here. The drunk ones are Clarke and Clark.

[@northernlight4614]

I think Croz was rehabilitated at this point. I heard that he told Michael Clarke that he knew of someone who could help with Clarke's drinking problem.

[@gerrydooley951]
