I remember that show. It was actually an NBC show. At the time I was 14 and I couldn't stand the show. I thought it was some of the most boring music I'd heard. The only time I watched it for more than 5 minutes was when Sun Ra was on. I had never heard of him before but I was really intrigue by the way all the musicians would "channel" music from him as if he was some sort of spiritual leader. Halfway through playing, they all stood up and started doing this surreal dance. Quite bizarre to say the least. -Michael
