I am shocked I have not seen this Vid circulating. This is from my master VHS but it is not perfect by any means. There are a few rough transitions after the commercial breaks. I left off everything that came before Neil Youngs introduction. Please if you have an upgrade, I would love to check it.

Text from Chris:
On 12 January 1995, Led Zeppelin were inducted into the United States Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They were inducted by Aerosmith's vocalist, Steven Tyler and guitarist Joe Perry. Jason and Zoe Bonham also attended, representing their late father. At the induction ceremony, the band's inner rift became apparent when Jones joked upon accepting his award, "Thank you, my friends, for finally remembering my phone number", causing consternation and awkward looks from Page and Plant.[64] Afterwards, they played a brief set with Tyler and Perry (featuring Jason Bonham on drums), and with Neil Young and Michael Lee replacing Bonham.
Besides Led Zeppelin, it's a great show. Neil Young is also inducted and his acceptance speech is hilarious. In fact, it's really Neil Young that steals the show.
But, of course the main historical moment of the evening is when Led Zeppelin are inducted and it's John Paul Jones' turn at the mic.
The now infamous comment, "Thank you, my friends, for finally remembering my phone number," (by John Paul Jones referring to his old partners reunion) is now a part of Zeppelin lore. (Plant rolls his eyes as he "checks his pockets" as Page stands there smiling sheepishly, teehee.) And yes, another historical moment as Robert Plant picks up the guitar and jams, as Pagey looks on with a comedic smile on his face. They are having fun, and it shows.
Let's face it, Holly. There is no excuse for the 'Hall OF Fame' awards shows to have not been released officially. (The music business has all but forgotten about the fans these days. It's not the artist's fault. It's dollars and cents! - Hence the terrible state of the music industry today.)
The 1995 Hall Of Fame show has many memorable moments. Neil Young, Led Zeppelin, and an incredible solo performance by Melissa Etheridge; performing Piece Of My Heart by Janis Joplin, who was also inducted that year. Frank Zappa was also inducted. A great show all around.
