This line up of Enuff Z Nuff represents the band at their very best. How is it that these guys fell short of super stardom ? Their self titled debut album was pure class. Enuff z Nuff were always a tour de force of top quality song writing/ and musical talent.
I love Enuff Z'nuff! This is a great track on a strong album. Love their work as it holds up to the present date. Blessings to all the members past and present. The Paul Shaffer endorsement and his band put some nice adds that fit right in.
Really strong band...lost at sea in a swirling change of the guard. I think most the kids at the time wanted absolutely nothing to do with anything remotely resembling 80's rock. These guys would have been bigger during almost any other period. Great voice!
The record co messed up by plugging them into the hair metal niche at the end of that run. If they’d just been marketed something like Black Crowes or Lenny Kravitz, (or in the long term, Jellyfish) they would’ve had more staying power. I’d say even Tesla has faired a bit better
This band should have been huge but the powers in control were pushing the lame Grunge that nobody wants to hear anymore. I talked with Derek about this gig and he told me that Donnie was actualy kinda pissed about his lead on this performance and I assured Derek that he kicked ass and to not let a comment that was probably said out of nerves or whatever take away from what he did. Derek was really humble about his playing and did not act like he knew how unique and gifted he was. He also mentioned that there was a lot of pressure from the show to conform to their rules on Anton playing drums and he said Anton was kinda not that cool but he said Paul and Will were great. The performance holds up and actually seems better with time. The band should be very proud of what they accomplished and Donnies perfectionism was a true testament to his artistic commitment. Chip is always the soldier and one of the greatest bass players ever and he knows how to tweak the songs to turn them into gold. This band should be recognized as the one the all time greatest in Rock!
He was the first drummer I ever actually noticed. Made me grab unsharpened pencils, empty out the family cat's Tender Vittles can, and start making noise! My parents were thrilled, I bet!
Always LOVE EnuffZNuff (miss you Derek), but I am always FLOORED by Paul Schaffer and his band!!! Sid McGuiness and Anton Fig are MONSTER players and Will Lee filling on 3rd gtr is such a classy move. 👊🏼🦁
Great performance! I used to love how The World's Most Dangerous Band used to perform with the musical guests. Made it more enjoyable to watch. This was amazing.
One of the stipulations of the Late Night show was that the full bands weren't allowed to perform like on the Tonight Show. Also they weren't allowed horns but Sanborn always seemed to be there Friday nights if not him then the guys that ended up on the Late Show show on horns. You can see Anton looking at the chart to see what was what. Will said he liked to sight read on the first go as if he knew it a bit he'd fk up more often. The World's Most Dangerous Band indeed!
this band oozed talent...it just suffered from being tragically labeled as a hair band. these guys never put on a bad show, and every album had some incredible moments to them.
i love donnie and chip, especially donnie. he is one of my favorite vocal-/lyricists. ive come back to this performance a few times because it blows me away. i now totally get donnie when he refers to deriks playing as "all that guitar jabberwocky". one of the squeals in the middle of the song was so out of left field you actually see a flash of irritation because donnie was singing and the guitar seemed to rudely interrupt. it was also turned up to loud, and all thd trills finger tricks and squeals at the end kinda took away from the overall vibe! i kinda blame frigo and fox for this duo not getting the recognition due them because they seemed too comfortable in the LA hair scene which misclassified the heart and soul of enuff znuff.
I'm going to back you on this. One of the things that killed this type of music (and made way for grunge) was the overkill, the saturation. It became annoying. By this time, no one was impressed by this. Not that it didn't take skill, but if you eat pizza every. single. day.... you're gonna grow to hate pizza. I also know Frigo had his fans, and he was a damn-good guitarist. Find some videos of him playing in clubs... man, he was good. It just didn't pair up right for them and it's largely the label's fault. EZN wanted to be power pop. Early on, the label wanted them to be Glam. What a bad mix.
by this pont it was too late, all the kids were being told that guitar solos were lame and they were diving head first into that thing. and as we all know only one type of rock and roll can be popular and cool at a time, for some reason.
Awsome , wish they did more bridges and open areas in these songs and let that guitarist out of the box though , seems odd to have a talent like that basically having to play in a cage. The guitarist sets this bands songs on fire !
Ive only heard that he played for the song, not for himself, because he was a true musician not just looking to show-off. My Dad actually knew all those guys personally which is why I know of the band
Burning passion that Donnie. Frigo is happening as well. Weird settings as far as Chip being behind they could have manage to make more room. I assume they’re trying to play with the house band. Looks like it.
Compare this to when they played ‘baby loves you’ in ‘90 and Letterman forced his studio goon on Lead and just made Frigo step up from the background for his solo like it was spinal tap. He had such amazing tone
@@carpy1970 I believe Vik was actually gone by the end of 1992. There are some vids of the band at the Thirsty Whale in Summer of 92 where Ricky Parent is on drums. Always heard Vik was an asshat anyway
Who’s watching this in 2022? Fantastic performance Frigo was an absolute beast.
I'm still watching it in 2024
Watching in 2024. This band was great!

One of the most underrated bands of all time
How could anyone not love this?
Man Frigo could play! RIP :-(
You ain't kidding hell of a guitar player and barely known besides people who play or know about good guitar players
Frigo on fire!
Donnie V: one of the best hardrock vocals out there!
Chip: underrated bass player!
Overall: underrated band!
I love Enuff Z'nuff! This is a great track on a strong album. Love their work as it holds up to the present date. Blessings to all the members past and present. The Paul Shaffer endorsement and his band put some nice adds that fit right in.
Derek Frigo was SO good.
Love this. Frigo was on fire

Totally agree! Their song writing is what set them apart!
This was a very underrated band. They have some really great songs

This version makes the Lp version seem weak in comparison. Awesome performance. Frigo was an extraordinary talent
Animal with Human Intellegence... What a great album🎉🎉🎉
The band was at their f'n peak in '93 ! Frigo was God. r.i.p.
They played at my brother's bar in the late 90s. Once Derek left the band, their stardom suffered.
my god.
Derrick we miss you brother.
THAT GUITAR SOLO THOUGH !!!
Frigo putting on a clinic here. Amazing.
Frigo so good. RIP
This is perfection. Just such a beautiful MAN!!!
I own everything that they’ve ever released. Everything.
Then came grunge and wiped them off the map. I adore their Strength album. So underrated.
There are playing here in Vegas tonight ...Sept 2 2022
Anton fig he's a such underrated drummer, as i always said!
pat travers 4 a while too?
did he play with pat travers 4 a while too?
For Anton,im not sure with pat travers,but nicko mcbrain from iron maiden, yes
I like Fig's playing on Ace Frehley 1978
and 1987 solo and Dynasty and Unmasked he did with KISS.His groove is second to none.
He was the first drummer I ever actually noticed. Made me grab unsharpened pencils, empty out the family cat's Tender Vittles can, and start making noise! My parents were thrilled, I bet!

The World's Most Dangerous Band indeed!
Derek on fire
Yup. Frigo was special. Gorgeous tone.
Enormes!!!
Derek Frigo!!!🙌
Donnie - gorgeous, amazing! Perfect! Love him! Please agree!
AnniePannie definitely agree
Derek fkn Frigo
Classic, wonderful!!
They're on fire!
That's the way to tear it up ;-)
Tight......let it rock!!! Great song.....
Seriously underrated band!
DEFINITELY owned that song!!
Great Band!!!
this band oozed talent...it just suffered from being tragically labeled as a hair band. these guys never put on a bad show, and every album had some incredible moments to them.
POWER POP CHICAGO STYLE!
A combination of metal and power pop. Love it.
This is awesome! The memories are flooding in!🤩💚💜🖤
Frigo ❤
The title is "Superstitious" and the correct date should be 2 April 1993.
This guys were really good
Awesome
Great performance and bring it #DonnieVie !
They must have been the best band in the world at this time! Think, Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin. What happened?
Life happened!
Derek very Italian Pride rest in Peace little angel
p.s. donnie is gorgeous, too. his ability to really croon makes him even more sexy!
RIP Derek Frigo😢
eccezionali
i love donnie and chip, especially donnie. he is one of my favorite vocal-/lyricists. ive come back to this performance a few times because it blows me away. i now totally get donnie when he refers to deriks playing as "all that guitar jabberwocky". one of the squeals in the middle of the song was so out of left field you actually see a flash of irritation because donnie was singing and the guitar seemed to rudely interrupt. it was also turned up to loud, and all thd trills finger tricks and squeals at the end kinda took away from the overall vibe! i kinda blame frigo and fox for this duo not getting the recognition due them because they seemed too comfortable in the LA hair scene which misclassified the heart and soul of enuff znuff.
I just enjoy the music, no time to pick apart.

Essa banda..
Did they really need the house band participating? Pretty sure they could've handled this on their own.
Boss.
Marketed totally wrong by the label. Should have been pushed more like Black Crowes instead of hair metal. Such a great band.
RIP DEREK
Sweet BC RICH Gunslinger
Snuff

See! The nineties weren't all bad!
The band was self destructive and the record label didn't help.
I 'wonder' where they got the idea for this song 😂
Who’s watching this in 2024
Burning passion that Donnie. Frigo is happening as well. Weird settings as far as Chip being behind they could have manage to make more room. I assume they’re trying to play with the house band. Looks like it.
Look How Young Dave is
Compare this to when they played ‘baby loves you’ in ‘90 and Letterman forced his studio goon on Lead and just made Frigo step up from the background for his solo like it was spinal tap. He had such amazing tone
What? Frigo played lead that entire performance.
The only thing i dont like about this video is they didnt let Vikki Foxx play cause they knew hed be better
Vik was out by April of 93 when this was filmed. Would’ve been Ricky Parent
Frigo = Best Guitarist Ever IMO, and where the fuck is Vik?
Just after Vik had left to join Vince Neil band.
Anton played when they were there before this one. They played Baby Loves You and Vikki grabbed a guitar and played along. It was pretty cool.
Where is Viki??
Viki left in 1993 and this was filmed in 1993 so I guess he had bailed at this point but they had not recruited Ricky Parent yet......
He was playing for Vince Neil’s killer solo album “Exposed”
@@carpy1970 I believe Vik was actually gone by the end of 1992. There are some vids of the band at the Thirsty Whale in Summer of 92 where Ricky Parent is on drums. Always heard Vik was an asshat anyway
Those were shitties grunge times
The music sounds pre recorded. Just sayin
Chip is still a big boy
