Been spending a lot of time diving into the archives of Sunday Night/Night Music on YouTube, NBC’s short-lived but excellent showcase of eclectic music, which aired in 1989 and 1990. Hosted at first by Jools Holland and later by David Sanborn, the program featured incredible performances by Sun Ra, Sonic Youth, Lou Reed and John Cale, NRBQ, Debbie Harry, Pharoah Sanders, and dozens more.
Just imagine absentmindedly flipping through channels and stumbling across this performance of “Voice of Chunk” by the Lounge Lizards. Led by John Lurie and featuring the insane guitar of Marc Ribot, it must have blown some minds as it was broadcasted across the nation.

i just wished better quality clips would show up, or episodes without foreign subs or big tv logos, this needs blu ray restoration

That is some true “good shit”! Thanks so much to you AD…
The half-dozen people who managed to sit through the two minutes of nonsense with Jools Holland probably did have their minds blown.
