The Power Station -Some like it hot (live inTop Music)

[lovewoman781]

i love this song....

[johnnybrannan]

awesome supergroup from the 1980's MTV generation! apparently, there was only one live performance from the original lineup --- a Saturday Night Live episode on February 6, 1985. does anyone have a link or copy of this performance? I WOULD DIE TO SEE IT!!!!

[vodude]

@johnnybrannan There's no Youtube video of it cuz NBC is obsessed with keeping any & all SNL clips off of YT. But you can see this song (1 of 2 SNL performances) on the Power Stations' cd/dvd that was released in 2005. Not sure why they didn't include the other live clip (Bang a Gong) as well but I guess it's better than nothing.

[DestroyerofSouls666]

@johnnybrannan ---dude, thanks for making me secure in my memory!!! I distinctly remember watching that SNL performance at home. They delivered the goods that night, especially on "Bang A Gong"!!! It was sooo cool to see John and Andy rock out in front of the monitors while Rob and Tony were jamming along.

I hate to sound old, but kids who listen to Top 40 today will never appreciate the power of the riff imho.

This man is a God!

[RatedRKO2024]

I've been looking everywhere for this song..I first heard it on Family Guy star wars It's A Trap..thanks!!!

[newarrior3000]

[mypuppydog]

Its coming up to 26th September. Seven years since his passing. Robert is sadly missed.

[mypuppydog]

Robert's a bit older here by he's still got what it takes. Great performance.

[thincow12]

when and what did he die of? .......sad

[Vivenne1st]

@thincow12 A heart attack in Paris at a hotel.

[signalsyyz]

Robert Palmer rocks

[amazingboy97]

nice song.

[Brodieinmd]

I remember when The Power Station first emerged on the scene in 1985. I have a lot of respect for the whole group.

[TRASHTONE]

Great song

[CaroVonAuersfeld]

At last! the orginal version with Tony Thompson on drums...great...thanks so much....watching the other versions without him but with different drummers can make you sick...somehow...

[ffej980]

Tony Thompson was a master on the drums...

[thepanamahat]

@CaroVonAuersfeld you got that soooo right !!

[elandcohen]

The original Power Station lineup (from 85 with Palmer on vocals) only performed live once, on Saturday Night Live. Palmer left shortly after

[CadillacL]

@elandcohen I saw that performance. What energy. He should've stayed IMO.

[kuro70mame]

I am　Japanese.　But　I　did`nt know this TV program. It`s so nice!

[redtriesje]

omg din't know about Tony

darn rip

[contraversi]

This is definitely from '96 or '97 as the drums Tony is playing were not made in '85. You will notice that Bernard is not with them because he died before the Living In Fear CD was released.RIP Tony, Robert & Bernard. I saw the band live in '85 with Michael Des Barres on vocals. Great band but they sounded better with Robert Palmer.

[Captmiloman]

I have both Power Station CD's. One of the better supergroups from the 80's. Looks like RP wasn't looking too well in this performance.

[demonicnature]

can't believe they both died in the same year within 2 months of each other thats really sad rip you two legendary music cool

[aymahayker]

simply legendary. The group is awesome. RIP Robert

[ronsworld250]

Tony Thompson was one of the best drummers around. RIP in Tony.

[GUTTERWHORE3]

rip robert palmer/i love u

[ffej980]

tony thompson was a monster on drums

[rawis86]

waoooooooo

lindos!!!

[wisesatyr72]

yeah I bought the tape & record in 85 and Im still listening to John & Andy, chic, robert Palmer. Great musicians, heavy grooves.

[ErsatzWino]

Um, way to be a total dick. Wikipedia: "On February 16, 1985, the band performed "Some Like It Hot" and "Bang A Gong" on the Saturday Night Live television show. It was the only time that Robert Palmer performed live with the original line-up."

[ErsatzWino]

I thought the only time they performed live was on SNL?

[5177845]

I think that this was from the the 96 or 97 reunion.

[wisesatyr72]

legends

[schuey999]

RIP Robert.

[packerman2r3]

[nettiebaby45]

Wow, this looks like its from their 1996 reunion. Robert is so funny, calling himself
