WABX was THE best radio station ever. BAR NONE. As to there being a WABX TV, I'm confused. I also grew up in Detroit in the 60s-70s and although I do remember the broadcast station channel 20 coming on the air, I never knew or realized that WABX was also doing video. Would this have been where "Is it my body" was recorded about the same time? I'd always wondered, was trying to think of where they would have done that in Detroit. Can you link us to more WABX produced video?

@16x9enhanced Perhaps you should read the description before you post a comment like that.

[16x9enhanced]

what songs are played during this clip?

I have a bunch of Beefheart albums, but I'm not familiar enough to know the titles.

Thank you for this great Magic Band footage!

Tragic that the Ry Cooder tape is gone. I believe he had his band with him on this tour, but it seems that no tapes at all have survived.
