Paul Simon weekend continues with this 1992 appearance on MTV:
Here’s Fagen, Becker, and company on VH1 in 2000:
Doors week continues with this 1968 concert. The good news is that Jim Morrison neither exposes himself nor gets arrested.
Old 97’s weekend continues with two appearances on KEXP in Seattle. The first in 2014, the second in 2017.
Crowded House week continues at First Draft. In 1996, Crowded House said farewell to the world by playing a show outside the Sydney Opera House.

I wrote about the late Jon Hendricks yesterday. Here’s an episode of Soundstage featuring 2/3 of Lambert, Hendricks & Ross as well as Leon Thomas.
It’s a transfer from a home VHS recording so there are a few brief technical glitches. They’re worth riding out for the music.

Here’s a 1996 Dwight Yoakam teevee special on the Disney Channel of all places.
