- [Stereo feed] Second song performed on this USTV program, as the credits roll for the end of the show. The lineup partly shifts positions with their respective instruments for this one, but Mr. Watt, originally from The Minutemen, remains the force on bass guitar. Cover of a song by Blue Oyster Cult.

Huge BÖC fan here. Someone recommended checking out this version of "The Red and The Black", and I have got to say, this is fantastic. I love the energy of these guys.
@Mr.Joetatoehead Thanks homie! That wasn't half bad.
One of the best covers I know of. Better then the oringinal BOC, especially the minutemen version.
Mike Watt is the coolest bass player ever. Fucking legend!
I'd been listening to Minutemen or fIREHOSE versions of this song for decades before ever hearing the BOC original.
Mike Watt, D. Boone, & George Hurley changed our lives…..
seeing Dave on guitar post-Nirvana and pre-Foo Fighters is pretty awesome.
I've worked for Mike Watt. And I can tell you, he IS a very cool guy.
@Jon White hovercraft wasn't eddie's side project, he just sat in on drums for them
When I first saw this I was 14 rocked my whole world!saw watt and foo fighters in 94 at lupus heart break hotel providence best time of my life!
Is just me? Because i love William Goldsmiths drumming
Nah will’s a good drummer he just didn’t really click with foo fighters
To me this really was the spirit of the Minutemen. Love that Mike has carried on with their odd little fondness for BOC. Me too.
I had Mike Watt, George Hurley and Ed Crawford in my house in the late 80’s! I was bootlegging Sonic Youth and fIREHOSE in Glasgow with my Sony Professional Walkman(a bootlegging dream machine in those days!) and during Sonic Youth’s set I was in the middle of the crowd, when I looked to my right and Mike Watt was standing right beside me!
Now normally I never spoke to anyone while I was recording a band, but this was Mike Watt…Minutemen’s Mike Watt! So obviously I had to say something to the guy, and started blathering on about how great fIREHOSE’s set was and how much I loved Minutemen etc etc etc, and he listened with a big grin on his face and then asked me if I knew of anywhere him and the rest of fIREHOSE could stay the night?
Well, my folks were away on holiday at the time so obviously they were all coming back to my gaff!!
I ran upstairs to tell my brother the good news (he was a massive Minutemen fan too!) and at the end of the gig we piled into their van and drove to mine!
They were cool as f*ck! I got to play Mike’s bass and Ed Crawford showed me how to play “Corona”! And then they signed all of our Minutemen and fIREHOSE records!
It’s a shame we didn’t have a camera, I’d have loved to have got some photos.
The next morning I got to hear Mike talking to Ed in our garden about how much D Boon would’ve loved touring around Europe with Sonic Youth! It was surreal…
The best thing apart from the memories is the tape I recorded at the gig. You can hear the entire conversation we had in the middle of Sonic Youth’s set!!😁😎
Great days…
Eddie in but not singing, Dave in but not drumming. This means the singer and the drummer must be REALLY cool!
That's so cool Dave played drums and guitar for Mike watt live
W. Goldsmith on drums, such a punch!
Love the energy!
The Legend that is Mike Watt!
Dave goes completely Buck Darma on this. It's a shame the whole thing didn't air!
🤘🧙♂️🤘
Love this 'messy' punk version ... Original recorded 1973 (?) ... Hardcore/speed metal invented by the great BÖC
Love when you ride the TH-cam algorithm ❤
Three cheers for the bass king!!!!
Phenomenal!
Blue Oyster Cult The Red And The Black
Thanks for reminding me about this oversight. Made the same mistake when I posted on my earlier channel. Cheers!
Mike Watt used to play this in the Minutemen, when they were a thing.
... I miss D. Boon, and I wasn't even born until after he died.
@@101Volts he was down with the Oyster
Is that former Foo Fighters drummer William Goldsmith playing drums in this performance?
Yes... This was at the time Foo Fighters and Hovercraft ( Vedder's side band w/his wife ) were the opening acts on the Mike Watt tour. The Foo Fighters revolved around drums, guitar for Mike Watt's set . Some songs Dave was on drums, Pat on guitar ..and so on . This was before Foo's album was out . I saw the tour in Rhode Island ..paid $8 for tickets. One of best shows I've ever been to still
More importantly William was in Sunny Day Real estate

Eddie's so transfixed by Mike that he can't move. Propah.
I think he’s looking at Dave
Eddie is just happy to be there
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

actually this is "The Red & the Black"
Get ready for some laughs on nnnnnnNightcourt!
Can Ed really play guitar that well
ed fROMOHIO can.
Is he speaking English?
who is the drumer?
William Goldsmith. Sunny Day Real Estate and Foo Fighters original drummer. He's great.
Vedder looks lost
stoned as hell
who is this lady?
Quelle bouillie !
That was a brutal conclusion. Very disappointing.
Dave and Will’s chemistry was so good when they were playing in Mike’s band sucks that didn’t repeat for the colour and the shape lol
