I've seen this. It was in the Belushi/Murray/Ackroyd era I believe. He was giving a Moog a thorough work-out. I think part of the clip also showed up in one of those Saturday Night live musical "specials." Don't have a tape, though. On a complete tangent, does anyone remember that Canadian program "Night Music with David Sanborn" that came on in the early 90s? Sun Ra, John Zorn, Pixies, Christian Marclay, Phillip Glass, Miles Davis, Sonic Youth, Residents and others performed live (often with the craggy house band). Its was very nice.

I remember that show. It was actually an NBC show. At the time I was 14 and I couldn't stand the show. I thought it was some of the most boring music I'd heard. The only time I watched it for more than 5 minutes was when Sun Ra was on. I had never heard of him before but I was really intrigue by the way all the musicians would "channel" music from him as if he was some sort of spiritual leader. Halfway through playing, they all stood up and started doing this surreal dance. Quite bizarre to say the least. -Michael

That was an excellent show. Turned me on to a lot of new music. First time I watched it, I remember The Residents doing bits from there 'King & I' show on there. Freaked me out that they were on latenight cable TV. That would have ran about the same time they toured that show over here, so it must have been around '88 or something. If I remember correctly, everyone who performed each week did the final music piece together. Made for some excellent or hideous results. I also seem to remember David Sanborn having a particularly awesome white guy 'fro. Jeff
