Great performance. I remember seeing this when it was on. Amazing band performance! Jason and Andy get plenty of face time, but Roger is virtually invisible!
I use old cassette tapes to tape talk radio. I stumbled across this yesterday gave it a listen and was pleasantly surprised. It put me in a drawing mood and I drew/ wrote in back room awhile yesterday listening to the tape this song is on.
Best "unknown / underground" band of all time!! I'd pay to hear Chris Robinson and Andy sing together live, though,... Seriously! Heard of any thoughts on a collab? :)
I remember Being so excited when this aired..Now that I look back, it kinda sucks because they were made to play with Daves band...There should have been no way they should have messed around with this grouping ESPECIALLY the line-up at this time..This was one of the greatest live bands ever, to mess with it is absolute Blasphemy, damnit!!!!
I'd love to get a clearer version of this, though even at this quality it's amazing! I just remembered one of the cable channels (TBS I think) showing Letterman repeats...would be awesome to cap it in digital low loss XviD.
Well, true - they couldn't include Chris. But I've heard Andy "dedicate this song to Chris" many times when they played it live. I'm not sure that it started with this appearance. What a strange custom, for them to require the Late Night band to play with the musical act. I never got that. Those poor Manning brothers! Roger shoved to the back and Chris exiled completely!
When they came to Monterey Bay, California in 1993, they pulled me backstage after the show and we partied a while... Gave them an old 70s leisure suit jacket I had worn that night that they loved. Great people, great music. Miss y'all Jellyfish!!
@adjusterevans This was on the Spilt Milk tour??? I turned down a friend going to this concert when they opened for Tears for Fears in '93. Spilt MIlk is in my all-time favorite album list.... I would have gone ape shit to have met them..... You lucky bastard!!!
@CHHSE1986 Nah, Jason wasn't the guitarist on the Spilt Milk tour, it was Eric Dover by then. This was Bellybutton all the way (didn't you see Dave hold up an old cd longbox of "Bellybutton" as he introduced them?)

Thank you sooo much for posting this. I had been checking for the last few years. I remember it when it first aired. It as good as I remembered. Although it's very sad Chris wasn't included they sounded amazing, especially the backing vocals. I miss this band.
@squtternutbosh77 The Jellyfish Tribute Album is a testament of what a powerfully unique of a band that Jellyfish was. They only had 2 albums. And years later a Box Set is released of pre-recorded stuff, AND THEN a Tribute Album is made? JUST AFTER 2 ALBUMS!?!? :) That says a lot about how awesome Jellyfish was.
I'm not Andy.

Yeah, great performance as always!
I believe the bassist is the Late Night band regular Will Lee. Who is also amazing.

Well he wasn't on stage. Maybe he had already left the band at this point or was sick?
daveyboywvu 2 years ago
They dedicated the song to Chris b/c they were forced to include Paul & the band and there wasn't room/need for Chris, much to the band's dismay.
