WOW! Never get tired of seeing or hearing these guys. Classic American Party Rock.

[TheIndianDoctor]

God, the bassist and drummer are really getting into it!

[skeleman1963]

Saw these guys at the Aragon Brawlroom back in 1981.....awesome first show!!!

My buddy Pauly was stage monitor tech for them from 90-93 and we had some backstage passes and I have to say, even though I'm more a Led-Zep/Cream "heavy" rocker, I enjoyed the shows! It was fun and Fred and Kate were great hosts. Also got quite a bit of schwag ")

cosmic thing = one of the greastest albums of all time!!! they were just so original in everything they wrote.. amazing!

[aetechllc]

Man! What a demonstration of a real band should be like "live". If I had been there I would have felt like it was worth the long wait in line to see such a live performance.

[B52sguy]

I saw this SNL, and I have to tell you,

This is why YouTube was invented!!!!!!!

This is just so priceless. I hope you have been able to make many, many copies of this.

Thank you so much for posting this.

Thanks....and yeah, I have "a few" backups.

[kpenn0910]

Kate is great AND Cindy is fabulous. Lucky that they paired up.

[SimonDolan]

Kate Pierson really is a legend isn`t she? I think she`s one of the best female vocalists of all time - what a voice.

[danceswithsaget]

man these guys are the best!

[FuijiScale]

snl live performances are so hard to find. this would be the first ive found here.

[qwertygents]

i love this good stuff

[ThirdRail7]

This mirrors the Earth Day 1990 performance on Saturday Night Live.

Is this what they were rehearsing for?

[stretchmonster2]

Yes it was....they also rehearsed for "Cosmic Thing."

[perkjc01]

Great posts! Thanks for the invite. I can see you like the esoteric, fun B's songs. That's great! I've always said they weren't given enough credit for the great band and talents they were and are.  They cover all emotional ranges with their songs!
