"Sun Ra and his Arkestra performing "Face the Music" on the TV show "Night Music" in 1990. The band features John Gilmore, Marshall Allen, June Tyson, etc."
All the really good music TV shows die within a year or two. They make the Network execs nervous. The live formats aren't controllable the way canned videos are.

I'm not a big fan of David Sanborn, but it was around that time that he had a really cool show.
That was a great performance. It would definitely fit in on the Singles compilation.
You may have been on threads where I've previously mentioned it, but one of those musical events I came along too late for were the shows in the Detroit area in the late 60's and early 70's where you would have Sun Ra, The Stooges and the MC5 all the same bill. Man, can you imagine seeing all three of those acts on the same night?

had a show called "Friday Night" as I recall. They tried to have it be both US and UK but it had tech glitches. Sanborn wound up running it and he had everyone good on it. It was great--and naturally it lasted two years.
Those Detroit shows were famous. Those three on the same bill would have been mind bending.
I lived in the Haight-Ashbury in the great days and I used to go to the Filmore and the Avalon Ballroom and the Carosel Ballroom. The wierdest show was Albert King and Blue Cheer. On one bill was Woody Herman, the Greatful Dead and Muddy Waters.
Around two corners from me was the Flame Lounge with solid middle aged African-American men in turtle necks, tweed sport coats and gold chains. They tolerated me when I went in there in my hippy clothes to see T-Bone Walker.
