I listened to this on CD back in the mid 90s for the first time. This is the first time I saw this!

Priceless. Thanks for posting this.

I've just read a Spike biography, having loved the music for years, and I never realised just how many different musicians he used over the years. I wish I knew the line-up on every video. From 1940 to 1950 the line up was just about totally different.

Fantastic! Always great to see a Spike clip I've never seen before! Shows how amazing they are, doing that split second stuff live. Great clip. Thanks for posting!

Twenty years or thereabouts before Frank Zappa played the bicycle live on The Steve Allen Show, in this live performance, Spike Jones, leading his Big Band, percusses from xylophone to revolving pistol!
