Look at them, they know they were making something special.
Any television!
Intergalactic Federation of blues says yes this is yes
I can't upvote this enough. Truly underrated band
I only saw them once live but they interacted with the audience. the opening act, the Liars, the singer threw the mic stand into the crowd and beaned a dude in the head with the bottom of it and cut his head open, blood flowing. didn't even stop the show. dude hit the floor and the show continued. out of control but rock and roll man! I'm glad it missed me, I was standing right next to him
Was this in Gainesville?

Never get sick of watching this.
The single best Live performance on tv ever. Nothing comes close. Not anything that anyone could mention is better.
Too true. Anyone mention anything else is a liar. I know it and they know it
Amen
You got to get it
Wow! Just happened upon these guys. Its like a knife fight between the Cramps, stooges and James Brown. I cant believe I never heard of them, they freekin shred!
Pretty valid description. You can tell Jon Spencer has watched all those old James Brown TAMI Show performances and was influenced by that. This performance might not be on a greatest hits playlist, but it's definitely on the greatest performances playlist. These guys don't hold back. They give every show 101% and that's really inspiring. In order to get the JSBX vibe, it's not enough to listen to their records, you really do have to go to one of their live shows.
Grateful to have seen them in 1996!
I've seen pretty much a million live bands, and it's hard to top these guys...
Just watched JSBX on letterhead SMOKE, when they were done Dave says Ashe hugs Jon Spencer “we got a winner, Paul “ they were that impressive.
This rules. I saw the Blues Explosion a bunch right around this time. At small shitty venues like Birdy's in Indianapolis. It was sweaty and riotous and righteous. I saw Judah Bauer come out and watch the opening act (The Apple Brothers?) with like 5 other people. We caught JSBX like two or three years in a row on New Year's Eve with RL Burnside and North Mississippi All Stars. There was sweat and youth and excess and people passing out on public transportation. Thanks for posting this. I didn't always have a mortgage, and this takes me back.
Saw them in Philly in 1994 or so at a bar called the Khyber Pass. It was almost more than the human mind could bear. Great days. Great band.
Now there's a frontman. Class.
Criminally under appreciated!!
yes!!!!
This was an Australian Saturday morning television show aimed at teenagers so not exactly peak performing time. I was lucky enough to be watching it and was totally blown away. One of the three performances I wish I could time travel to. The other being faithless at Glastonbury 2002? and Lynyrd Skynyrd at Oakland in the 70's
Sunday morning. The show was called Recovery and was live so even more so not peak performance time.... Many bands played having coming straight thru from their sat night gig or maybe just sat night out. Was such an awesome show....Hosted by Dylan Lewis himself the singer of a punk band. Many great memories from Recovery.
@@fincarosa Sunday morning? My memories going...
@@davidfield9978 no, your memory is fine. Its mine that seems to be going! Your comment just made check on wiki and you are right... It was Saturday morning!
Tragic thing is in 2023 I still have never seen them live. They have toured Australia over the years too 🥲
Jon Spencer was like the 1st version of Jack white. I think this is lost on a lot of people
@Yerbis Shmerpa i think a crazy cool frontman personality with sick guitar playing in a sorta garage rock band
totally! i said the same to my friends way back when the WS came out....Jack was like a slightly in-more-control Jon Spencer...i love them both so much
I said the same thing when the White Stripes came out.
Bantam Rooster was a Detroit 2 piece---no gimmicks....and runaway train of rock and roll. Drummer was so good, sounded like a 4 piece, as is Potters guitar playing and tone. they werent inbred husband and wife. Spencers first album is two versions, one on Crypt "Crypt Style" and the Caroline version with a slightly different track choice. The BLUES IS #1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know...jack White seems like he is serious...these guys are just a badass punk mockery of blues rock and totally hilarious the way they go all out on it.
THE BLUES ARE NO 1 !!!
JSBX are great live in person
There’s nothing better than a good JonSpencer concert
Spencer has been around for awhile...he should be even bigger, but he's about the nicest guy in rock and roll/music today. extremely polite, humble off stage. great band. i wonder if Matador Records had an in with Stewart---Spencer on tv, GBV after Alien Lanes...this, is fantastic. Saw the Extra Width tour with Buffalo Tom. They mean business. Listen to Pussy Galore, any Honeymoon Killers hes on, basically anything he's involved in.
1 of my all time fav bands
Saw him and Luther Dickinson share a stage, greatness.
Jon and the boys are number one!
LOOOOVE THIS and also my girlfriend! tomoorw we rock this with 2 years daughter! woe
What an awesome band. Love them.
i love how the antenna is an instrument its awesome

The face at 8:30 kind of says it all

Stratford upon H'eavn. Ohne o.

WAIL AND 2 KINDS OF LOVE !!!
What happened at 7:20 ??? Did Spencer get shocked by electricity and knocked to the floor? 'Coz that's what it looks like...
What song is this? Is there an lp version?
The first song is "wail" if anyone is interested
second one "two kindsa love"... extended destroy thing
The album these songs are from is "Now I Got Worry" and it is a MONSTER of a record. These boys go HARD
What is that axe he's playing....
Judah plays a Fender Telecaster, Jon used to play a Zimgar EJ2T (a profoundly cheaply built guitar with godlike tone, made by Teisco in the 1960's) but has lately switched to a Silvertone 1476 (same vibe)

why do they hate bass players
They can't afford one. They're expensive.
The intrverted ones, aren' t They not?
Amphetamines are a hell of a drug
This is not blues.
this is rock and roll
Blues rock
@betterslowed to quote the man JS himself: "The blues is still number one. I don't play no blues. I play the rock & roll."
Yeah! Wow... There's memories and the start of a trip down a YT-rabbit-hole....
