I still have this show on VHS.

I don’t have a VHS player.

Technically this doesn’t fall in the “I had this show via tape trading” category that a lot of things I post. I recorded this on to VHS directly from my faithful local PBS station. I remember watching it.

I don’t know if you remember, but Sessions at West 54th was a New York variation of Austin City Limits. Originally hosted by KCRW’s Chris Douridas, David Byrne took over hosting duties beginning of the second season while John Hiatt hosted the third season. Yes, PBS is that cool.

Enjoy:

I never took the time to write down a setlist but the Wikipedia blurb for this episode of the show (Season Two Episode 06 originally aired 08/14/98) lists:

  • Wiggly's Way

  • Coconut Boogaloo

  • Latin Shuffle

Medeski Martin and Wood Live at The Georgia Theater (09/18/93)

We’re pulling from the live recording stash again today. This time, going way back to a great sounding 1993 Medeski Martin and Wood soundboard recording. This is early material and the group is in fine form. I’ve had this CD for probably close to 25 years. It was one of the first ones I traded for through the mail after switching from cassettes to CDRs. Enjoy!
