We see a lot of episodes online of this terrific music series pairing up diverse artists, but several episodes seem to be missing - never fear, BetaGems has the complete series, as well as sister show Sunday Night, so we'll upload the missing episodes. This "lost" edition from 10-28-89 features Todd Rundgren, Taj Mahal, Pat Metheny, Nanci Griffith, and David Sanborn. The BetaGems channel also has "Longlost Music Video: The Nazz Open My Eyes 1968," "Commander Cody & Todd Rundgren 8-27-82 NYC," "Pete Townshend & Pat Metheny 10-22-90 TV performance," "Pat Metheny and Gary Burton perform on late night TV in 1990," "Pat Metheny & Paul Simon 7-28-88 late night TV performance," and "Peter Yarrow & Taj Mahal October 1987 late night TV performance."
BetaGems are culled from an archive of over 1000 beta video tapes recorded from 1983 into the 1990s. Most feature live music performances broadcast on television in San Diego CA, though there are also rarely seen commercials, comedy clips, and other material that doesn't seem to be anywhere else on KZfaq or online. Most of the tapes were recorded on a Sony SL-HFT7 Super Beta Theater Hi-Fi Stereo - the same model was refurbished and is being used for these digital transfers and uploads.

Hiram Bullock was a killer player. Died way to young RIP Hiram.

I saw him do a clinic at Berklee with Kenwood Dennard and one of the school's bass instructors (it being more than a decade after Jaco had been murdered). The storytelling would have been enough reason to be there, but then they started playing!!!!! Kenwood could barely hear at that point (something like 75% loss in one ear, and 85% in the other - his monitors had to be LOUD), but man he could still play, and even almost deaf, he knew how to LISTEN. Some of the most responsive improvisation between three players I've heard.

Todd Rundgren is nominated for the 2021 R&R Hall Of Fame for the 3rd year in a row. Let's FINALLY get him in! Search "Rock Hall Fan Vote" and vote with several emails.

"Throw your big leg over me mama, I might not feel this good again," but they bowdlerized the lyrics for television.

Looks like Michelle there on background vocals. Great episode, forgot Metheny was also on that episode. Two of my favorite live performers on one show, saw them both multiple times! And Sanborn played on A Wizard, A True Star (Zen Archer).

Ok but the Michelob commercials 😆 It’s so bizarre to think that was once an effective way to sell cheap beer. And probably still is.

I was living just outside of Denver when I first saw this progrum, around 1988-89. Loved it and stayed up every Saturday night to watch. And play John Denver songs on my geetar. Thank God for KZfaq because I remember her on the same show as the Chii Peppers and Hank Crawford. I don't think she was in on the jam at the end though.

Watch Freddie Green's hands during the Count Basie bit. NO ONE gets Freddie Green comping right. There is nothing boring about playing nothing but quarter notes, if you play them like that!!!!!!!

@KingJorman Ай бұрын

I wonder if part of that approach is because the amplification was not like it is today so it was much more of a physical act to be heard at all in the context of a big band

I watched this when it originally aired. Where is the Modern Jazz Quartet? They performed "Django" before Pat Metheny.

@betagemslostmedia607 8 ай бұрын

As you can see, this is the complete episode and Modern Jazz Quartet are not mentioned in the opening - you're thinking of a different episode, it looks like someone else has uploaded part of it - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/la5-ZtGEmti5fqc.html
