John and Roger accepting award for AOBTD

I've never seen this before!
And John's "speech"! :) Great stuff!

Space Invaders .. !

Best sweater ever.

Wow - his complete inability to deal with the 'showbiz kiss' from the presenter is quite telling, and gives a hint to the problems he has with meeting people now.

^^^ good one :)

This is now my favourite "award acceptance speech" ever. The lack of a speech and... well, everything makes you understand why John isn't part of the business anymore.

Yet this happened 20 years later..

Haha! - are you from Salem?!!

Thanks for posting this! I remember when this first aired all those years ago! I think Cheap Trick played Ain't That a Shame on that prograpm too! I remember at the time being disappointed that Fred and Brian weren't there but happy that John got to receive it on behalf of the band with Roger.

I had never seen this.
Epic!

Thanks for posting this. According to Wikipedia, AOBTD beat Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall" and Diana Ross's "Upside Down". But they (along with the Rolling Stones) lost Favorite Pop/Rock Band/Duo/Group to the Eagles.
