yeah it was a total blast.
and more than a little bit strange considering
i hadn't played with a band for quite a few years by that point.
so to come out of "retirement" and play on SNL was a trip.
they really made you feel comfortable at SNL.
you had like two days of on set rehearsal between getting the sound and blocking it out etc.
by the time it was showtime it was pretty loose.
i do remember somebody clammed during the performance, getting off stage and everybody assumed it must've been me because i had the least amt of sealegs.
but it wasn't.
also on saturday night you do two shows.
a full dress rehearsal with an audience thats 2hrs long
and we did two songs.
then the live show that had skits cut out of it and elliott cut back to one song.
somewhere in the archive is a live version of baby britain.
i also remember they cut out the joke
"in the mexican border towns near Texas, LBJ was known to the mexican prostitutes as EL b.j."
