Jon Spencer Blues Explosion performing "Afro" on "The Word" on UK TV Channel 4, in 1994. This has long been one of my cherished VHS tapes! I think this was during their second UK tour, maybe early 1994. Shame they don't really get the props now, but like Mark Lamarr says on this clip at this time they really were the best live act around

    For some reason lately, I decided, entirely out of the blue to look up some Jon Spencer Blues Explosion (I think it might have been watching Beavis and Butthead talking over "Dang" on a DVD, thought the song itself sounded cool).

    Anyway, having heard a bit more, I wanna get an album or two of theirs. What's the best one to start at?

    I am an old bastard; seen a lot of bands... and I will say with enormous confidence, these guys rock. If you like what ya hear, make no mistake, this band delivers on the live shows. I've seen them many times and they ALWAYS deliver. Truly one of the best live acts ever.

    I have the (possibly false) memory of seeing this performed on MTV's The Jon Stewart Show. Yes, Jon Stewart was on his own variety show at one point, between Remote Control and whatever it is he does now

    Extra Width, Orange, or Now I Got Worry. You really can't go wrong with any of the three. Or if yer feeling really daring, look for the live bootleg Controversial Negro! It's a paint peeler to be sure.
