Mans got style and I love the big band sound of this as much as the stripped back original. Only problem is that I cant seem to turn it up loud enough.
This is wicked jam fffffffffuuuukkk, it sucks it got cut off on the solo, I wish I could see it all.. Does anyone know where I could watch this video in it's entirety!!!
@withgoddess I have moved many times as well. I don't know how it is I have hung on to so many of them. There is a black hole where things go when you move!
Preamble Pat Metheny. The 1980s were the final artistic pop culture wild west. Now we have order. And I ain’t talkin Joy Division. Look it up. Can’t be unseen😇
Human beings making heartfelt music with instruments. No one with a dance team and clothes falling off while exercizing to computer generated drum beat, singing about money.
@@babyfactory587 Hey I feeling that man. Some people dance ... clothes on, clothes off ... who I am to stand in the way of a good time. I just hope they know how to program that "electrical drum music." I like fingers on the sticks and strings. Hey, some people even like to go bowling.
Once again, I am reminded what / why: "Todd is God". From his youth eating hot light bulbs to jammin at Darryl's House. Two very disparate artists and two very disparate backgrounds. Thank Heavens for Taj!
Juliasblues well yes; but that doesn´t mean, that I would not enjoy a good piece of music of hand-made music. You know, even fossils have some taste ;-) ;-)
We do, we do ! I'm 1950 ! ;) ;) I hear ya ! I just thought someone who connected Taj Mahall with The Blues Bro's movie wouldn't have heard of him before that, like we did ! Cheers, Markus 1949.
Easily the best version of this song. I just can't stop rewatching this masterpiece
total masterpiece
I've been lucky enough to see Taj several times (6+) and all I can say is that every show is a treat...my favorite was his show with Mavis Staples.
True facts:
Mavis n Bob Dylan dated. BD asked Pops permission. Facts
This is from a late Sat. night show called Night Music hosted by sax player David Sanborn in the late 80's
This is awesome!
David Sanborn is a volcano of charisma and personality!
It’s not fair. Who knew TR could hit blues vibrato like that? I have been cheated. Mongo impressed. New respect.
Best thing I've found on TH-cam this month without a doubt
Man, thoose were the days...; ). You won't see something like this on TV today....
+Avaloctus Loved the show. Saw some amazing performances... the kind you remember forever.
Dam right
Jools Holland show continues where this left off
When will there be a show of such high quality?!! Dear music-loving producers! Must go...Thank you. In France we also like it...
This was the hippest show ever on television.
Taj is in prime for here! we should all live the way he performs! Great Gosh amight!
looking good, brother Taj... Señor Blues
man, it makes me happy to see young folks dancin and having fun 😊
✌️ Peace y'all
stay forever young brother
I remember staying up late to watch this when it originally aired!
Back whem music had no boundaries. Racially or otherwise. Where’s my return time machine? Today ain’t shit.
There’s still plenty of good music out there. Spend a little more time looking for it instead of bitching and moaning on TH-cam, perhaps
oh my gosh, Todd playing a Melody Maker double cut !!!!!!! unexpected !
Remember seeing Tah Mahal doing this song at the Santa Clara pop festival
Great song and better musician
Holy crap! What a groove!
Never got to see this show when it was on... credits rolling by and all of a sudden "Oh snap- that's Omar Hakim back there!"
Mans got style and I love the big band sound of this as much as the stripped back original. Only problem is that I cant seem to turn it up loud enough.
A fine performance. Wow!
What I wouldn't do for some volume!!! Not sure about others but the great Taj Mahal always even better in person!
This is incredible
This is wicked jam fffffffffuuuukkk, it sucks it got cut off on the solo, I wish I could see it all.. Does anyone know where I could watch this video in it's entirety!!!
Damn shame we had to miss Todd's solo.
I wish I had half the rhythm and talent that TM has...
So so good
wow those guys are kicking ass.
Good stuff!
Happy Birthday, Taj..
Taj. The Man The Myth The Legend.
Yaaaas!! PREACH and Todd rundgren tho!!
Taj Mahal, national treasure
OMG, this is wild! Taj, Todd, and Pat Metheny?? Love it !
rogsteel, what show is this taken from, and when ? And yes, I was around back then, lol
SOUL.
@TheAndroid219 Actually the original was done by the song's composer. A blues mandolin player by the name of Yank Rachel.
Very cool! Thanks for the post. Made my day :-)
GODDAMNALMIGHTY!
Producer Hal Wilner.✌🏾♥️🌎
It refers to the Missouri-Kansas & Texas Railroad, known as the MKT, or the K-T (the Katy).
Keith West!! THANKS BRO! That is awesome info!!!🙏🏻
This just blew my mind. I always thought it referred to a Cadillac, meaning she got in someone else's car.
I always thought it said "She's complicated" until I saw the title in print and then I had to google it to find out it was a train...lol
Cool. Unless you lived in that region you probably would never know.
Go Taj! Tom Scott got a lot of great musicians on these shows. I'd forgotten; so nice to see so many of them on YT.
That’s David Sanborn, not Tom zScott.
@withgoddess I have moved many times as well. I don't know how it is I have hung on to so many of them. There is a black hole where things go when you move!
Easily the last great rock TV shows besides Austin City Limits. Sunday night man crazy

Is this show called "night music"? and where can i find the archives of it?
Well thank you, pal. The day I get out of prison, my own brother picks me up in a police car 🚔
Well done sir!
Blues Bros brought me here as well
HAHAH Jake & Elwood
@EFISHANT They must have shrunk when he stuck that fork into the electrical socket...nice hairdo Pat!!!
Nanci Griffith! RIP
You got that right!!!!
Hold up.
Is that Omar Hakiim on the drums back there?
Human beings making heartfelt music with instruments. No one with a dance team and clothes falling off while exercizing to computer generated drum beat, singing about money.
lol awesome comment.so true...... so sad. take me back in time...
That’s just your opinion man. People make pretty cool electrical drum music naked in their homes sometimes.
@@babyfactory587 Hey I feeling that man. Some people dance ... clothes on, clothes off ... who I am to stand in the way of a good time. I just hope they know how to program that "electrical drum music." I like fingers on the sticks and strings. Hey, some people even like to go bowling.
@@babyfactory587no, they really don’t
@@babyfactory587 lol they really don’t
yes. the badass shit of all time
Who is the host that introduces them, and what show was this? Please reply if you have good info on this video. It's freaking awesome.
David Sanborn is the Host ? Saxman
Too bad they cut it short. Thanks for sundey
You got that right.
@mccallbrandon I was under the impression that he WAS the spirit! And people catch him occasionally.
Taj bringin' it on home ya'l.......Rev Eddro
tom Barney is on bass , Marcus had left the show by this time. Check the credits at 2:59
is that jimmy hall???
bravo
That damn train
Taj!
You lucked out!!
8 people didn't catch the katy.
They probably couldn't handle it.
Taj is the best!! Thought for a moment that Metheny might actually play the blues with Taj but no luck but Rundgren kicked it out/
G. 26 years ago? Seem's like yesterday..
jeanmarie sansaver Yep.....darn that math thing. :D
@drcanehdian lol yes thier is more then 1 is too meny lol
I think you are wrong, and so does most of the internet, include Yank's own fansite.
It is still an awesome performance and a great song
Once again, I am reminded what / why: "Todd is God". From his youth eating hot light bulbs to jammin at Darryl's House. Two very disparate artists and two very disparate backgrounds. Thank Heavens for Taj!
What does she caught the Katy mean
She got on a train on the Katy railroad and left town.
Missouri - Kansas - Texas train run.
@njn1219 The Late Great Hiram Bullock.
@mykmmc you can't ever have to MANY guitar players.
Wow. He was really something, wasn't he?
That's what I call verve!
@withgoddess I still have mine.
This isn't a "Blue Brothers" song, it is a Taj Mahal song, that The Blues Bros covered. Most of the Blues Bros songs are covers.
ackshually it's by Yank Rachell. Taj covered it.
Don Pardo approves
Omar Hakim in the back.
The David Sanborn Show
Hold up. Is that Pat Metheny? Started entering digits before, wait what? Back in the day shit was real/concrete/damn.
BTW .... Omar, Hiram, Don!!!
Holy tight pants - Pat Matheny! Geeeeezzzzzzz ?
Hiram Bullock is the side guitfiddlist
Rundgren seems lost in Bb, Bullock grooving.
Does anyone have clips of this with Hojo playing instead of just being introduced?
Todd is LOST. Hiram is the soul of this band.
lost? wake up.
@@toddrunt HA HA!! He aint no wizzard or a true star, but I loved todd's first three solo albums and all the Nazz albums
I.ka.su.ze!
@wysiwyg248 YOU CAN'T ever have to MANY guitar players.
Taj Mahal and/or Yank Rachel stole this song from a 1930's old blues song by Big Joe Williams named "She left me a mule to ride".
Not enough RANDOM.
The world's most american video ever.
Wrong. Yank probly never met Taj. He wrote this song before Taj was born.
made immortal by the Blues Bros. movie
Lol, you must be young. That's okay. ;)
Juliasblues
youth; I dare say is always a matter of perspective, my dear
Woah, 1949 ! Okay, well, your perspective, I concede. ;)
Juliasblues well yes; but that doesn´t mean, that I would not enjoy a good piece of music of hand-made music. You know, even fossils have some taste ;-) ;-)
We do, we do ! I'm 1950 ! ;) ;) I hear ya !
I just thought someone who connected Taj Mahall with The Blues Bro's movie wouldn't have heard of him before that, like we did ! Cheers, Markus 1949.
She caught the katy and gave it to me. Antibiotics didnt help much
Yank Rachel and Taj wrote the song togther
Hiram Bullock on the far right.
GIGGITY
Three people did the katy
Hiram effen Bullock!!!!!!!!!!
too meny guitar players
Too much clapping ...
