When they came to Monterey Bay, California in 1993, they pulled me backstage after the show and we partied a while... Gave them an old 70s leisure suit jacket I had worn that night that they loved. Great people, great music. Miss y'all Jellyfish!!
The true Jellyfish band blows these guys away. It's not like they coulda told Paul Schaffer and Letterman show band "no thanks, we got this". He dedicated the song to "Chris", the missing Jellyfish bass player.
This was on September 3, 1991. It was a Tuesday. The song on the top of both the US and UK charts at the time was Bryan Adams' "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You"
Great performance. I remember seeing this when it was on. Amazing band performance! Jason and Andy get plenty of face time, but Roger is virtually invisible!
..."be so swell" ... for what it's worth - which is precisely nowt - they were the band of my early adolescence , it's a time that you remember for quite a while. A most special group.
I use old cassette tapes to tape talk radio. I stumbled across this yesterday gave it a listen and was pleasantly surprised. It put me in a drawing mood and I drew/ wrote in back room awhile yesterday listening to the tape this song is on.
@squtternutbosh77 The Jellyfish Tribute Album is a testament of what a powerfully unique of a band that Jellyfish was. They only had 2 albums. And years later a Box Set is released of pre-recorded stuff, AND THEN a Tribute Album is made? JUST AFTER 2 ALBUMS!?!? :) That says a lot about how awesome Jellyfish was.
I was scrolling through the comments and was about to reply to agree, then I realised that this account is also mine. :D Hi me from ten years ago! Got some bad news for you about the future...
+Stephen Harris I saw Cheap Trick a few years ago here in Baltimore and they had Falkner/Manning open for them. Zander RAVED about how much he loved Jellyfish, and brought the guys out to play Surrender and Dream Police late in their set.
John Hall Not true; I saw Trip Shakespeare 4 years prior to this and their female drummer was doing the same thing, and well, too. Granted, they were a mediocre band, at best, and Jellyfish were great... And that Dan Wilson stuff is terrible.
if you have ever seen music hall with them in germany he does the same thing in singing the line... "ide dedicate this song to chris" ..yes he is talking about chris manning.. plus this song got a few plays after it was on the first episode of 90210... god i loved this band...
I remember Being so excited when this aired..Now that I look back, it kinda sucks because they were made to play with Daves band...There should have been no way they should have messed around with this grouping ESPECIALLY the line-up at this time..This was one of the greatest live bands ever, to mess with it is absolute Blasphemy, damnit!!!!
hahaha that keyboard bit (2:05) is hilarious! When the camera cut to him I was like, who the hell is this guy?!! That's some serious concentration going on there whilst jabbing those keys!!
Jellyfish seemed to enjoy them selves. But Paul did look a bit too out of place. The sound he had on that solo was grand. He just didn't know what to do with it.
Well, true - they couldn't include Chris. But I've heard Andy "dedicate this song to Chris" many times when they played it live. I'm not sure that it started with this appearance. What a strange custom, for them to require the Late Night band to play with the musical act. I never got that. Those poor Manning brothers! Roger shoved to the back and Chris exiled completely!
@CHHSE1986 Nah, Jason wasn't the guitarist on the Spilt Milk tour, it was Eric Dover by then. This was Bellybutton all the way (didn't you see Dave hold up an old cd longbox of "Bellybutton" as he introduced them?)
I'd love to get a clearer version of this, though even at this quality it's amazing! I just remembered one of the cable channels (TBS I think) showing Letterman repeats...would be awesome to cap it in digital low loss XviD.
@@driver8rws Thanks. I actually did grab that version a while back. I watched them side by side and think I determined that this video still looks a bit better. The other has some overblown brightness and has a lot of artifacting, like it may have been compressed a few times before hitting UA-cam. Thanks again for the link though.
Best "unknown / underground" band of all time!! I'd pay to hear Chris Robinson and Andy sing together live, though,... Seriously! Heard of any thoughts on a collab? :)
This could be case and point why more people didn't/don't know about Jellyfish. Your ONE TV appearance in the U.S. and THAT'S the song you choose? Hmmmmm....
Sort of hated how "The Late Night Band'...literally HAD...to be involved somehow...with all the guest bands. jesus.... Will Lee... Having to play bass in Jellyfish and getting his fat face in there ( notice...their guy get's sidelined and doesn't appear) Christ..... Couldn't just have let the entire Band, Jellyfish...perform without a few members of Dave's band...hogging some more TV Time. Lame.....( Jellyfish is awesome incidentally)

The most undeniably underrated band in the history of modern music.
Come back Andy Sturmer. Save rock n roll with a super high bounce on a sugar coated marshmallow trampoline

Will Lee is spectacular in this. You’re welcome.
Will Lee, Sid, Anton and Paul are each brilliant. They can and have, supported anybody beautifully. That’s why thru had their jobs.
Amazing! It's a shame Paul Shaffer had to leap in and honk around in the background like a ninny.
Falkner with almost a glam look in this one, awesome!
This was on September 3, 1991. It was a Tuesday.
The song on the top of both the US and UK charts at the time was Bryan Adams' "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You"
It makes me sick to think Jellyfish singles were outperformed by that slop.
Great song, great performance! the greatest 90's band to me. I love the fact that Andy "dedicate this song to Chris"
Wow. That was intense! Falkner kicked ass.
Great performance. I remember seeing this when it was on. Amazing band performance! Jason and Andy get plenty of face time, but Roger is virtually invisible!
Paul Schaffer at 2:33 is hilarious with that just-been-shot-in-the-gut look that many musicians seem to be afflicted with LOL!
..."be so swell" ... for what it's worth - which is precisely nowt - they were the band of my early adolescence , it's a time that you remember for quite a while. A most special group.
their harmonies are amazing!
I use old cassette tapes to tape talk radio. I stumbled across this yesterday gave it a listen and was pleasantly surprised. It put me in a drawing mood and I drew/ wrote in back room awhile yesterday listening to the tape this song is on.
My name is Chris, so I was freaked out for a minute when he looked at the camera and dedicated this song to me.

So cool to see Jason :)

Tearin' the freakin' house down. Best song that Cheap Trick never wrote...
+Stephen Harris I saw Cheap Trick a few years ago here in Baltimore and they had Falkner/Manning open for them. Zander RAVED about how much he loved Jellyfish, and brought the guys out to play Surrender and Dream Police late in their set.
+keith robideau Kindred spirits, right! Great story - thanks.
A guy with that voice and what---he's a producer? cmon man!
Honestly, probably my favourite vocalist. He makes everything sound so much more interesting and fun.
@Jeff Payne bunch of stuff for Cartoon Network as well as Puffy Ami Yumi
Yeah, great performance as always!
I believe the bassist is the Late Night band regular Will Lee. Who is also amazing.
these cats are so groovy.
Hee Heeeeeee My oh my. A friend of my brothers Charlotte lived with Roger Manning. She said Paul Schaeffer was difficult to work with!
Will is the honorary Jellyfish.
I will never understand why Jellyfish was not immensely popular. Nope.
I always hated that they let Paul and his band play with other bands. Jellyfish was way more talented than Letterman's house band.
One of those times where the house band adds absolutely NOTHING to the performance.
+Cocktails ForTwo Well, they added a bassplayer (Will Lee) with killer harmonies :-) And everyones having a good time. What more can you ask for?
Only drummer that stands. Also: PUFFY. Also: epic singer/songwriter. Music has fallen quite a way since those better times. (-I
John Hall
Not true; I saw Trip Shakespeare 4 years prior to this and their female drummer was doing the same thing, and well, too. Granted, they were a mediocre band, at best, and Jellyfish were great... And that Dan Wilson stuff is terrible.
Paul Shaffer's 1 finger solo rivals the guy from Flock of Seagulls.
True. Paul Shaffer and his band were much more involved with the guests in the past I remember also enuff z'nuff plying with them.
Old school Jellyfish...sweet!
FANTASTIC band !!!!
Paul's first lesson from Jellyfish, cool.
if you have ever seen music hall with them in germany he does the same thing in singing the line... "ide dedicate this song to chris" ..yes he is talking about chris manning.. plus this song got a few plays after it was on the first episode of 90210... god i loved this band...
Paul looked a bit bewildered on that solo. The sound was dialed in but he looked a bit overwhelmed.
I remember Being so excited when this aired..Now that I look back, it kinda sucks because they were made to play with Daves band...There should have been no way they should have messed around with this grouping ESPECIALLY the line-up at this time..This was one of the greatest live bands ever, to mess with it is absolute Blasphemy, damnit!!!!
Gotta admit-I'm not feeling it's as good as their other stuff either
Schaefer looks like a kindergartener who wandered onto the set and decided to play keyboard.
hahaha that keyboard bit (2:05) is hilarious! When the camera cut to him I was like, who the hell is this guy?!! That's some serious concentration going on there whilst jabbing those keys!!
Why did Jellyfish allow them to play with them? They were awful.
Jellyfish seemed to enjoy them selves. But Paul did look a bit too out of place. The sound he had on that solo was grand. He just didn't know what to do with it.
Kinda goes to show, the Jellyfish would not have been without Andy.. They were all great musicians, but his voice made the band work.
Nothing, except this song sounds like CT :-)
Well, true - they couldn't include Chris. But I've heard Andy "dedicate this song to Chris" many times when they played it live. I'm not sure that it started with this appearance. What a strange custom, for them to require the Late Night band to play with the musical act. I never got that. Those poor Manning brothers! Roger shoved to the back and Chris exiled completely!
@CHHSE1986 Nah, Jason wasn't the guitarist on the Spilt Milk tour, it was Eric Dover by then. This was Bellybutton all the way (didn't you see Dave hold up an old cd longbox of "Bellybutton" as he introduced them?)
Jason Falkner!
OMG Paul Schaffer nearly had hair!
@SpeedyDolfin - That's Anton Fig...the Late Night band drummer...just helping to 'fill out' the sound
Reminds me of Cheap Trick
I'd love to get a clearer version of this, though even at this quality it's amazing! I just remembered one of the cable channels (TBS I think) showing Letterman repeats...would be awesome to cap it in digital low loss XviD.

You probably already know this, but Jellyfish opened for the Black Crows on one tour.
I thought Paul Shaffer was supposed to be a good at playing the keyboard
I’m certain the Jellyfish approved Paul’s solo during rehearsals.
It's pretty true to the trumpet part on the original recording, nothing fancy!
Killer singing drummer. Well he’s a good frontman not the best drummer. They’re all great 👍
No wonder everyone lived in fear of the "World's Most Dangerous Band" making your band look and sound approx 270% extra lame
This could be case and point why more people didn't/don't know about Jellyfish. Your ONE TV appearance in the U.S. and THAT'S the song you choose? Hmmmmm....
Paul what the hell are you doing
Love this track - shame the studio bassist looks like Robin Zander ha ha
🙏🙏🙏
Paul Schaeffer---the 5th Jellyfish.
OMG...i used to dress like this.How did i ever get laid?
Chris was sick.
They dedicated the song to Chris b/c they were forced to include Paul & the band and there wasn't room/need for Chris, much to the band's dismay.
Anton Fig...redundant.
@GuitarDemystified Yep.
@GuitarDemystified
he did!
No Roger? Anywhere? Ouch?
Much BETTER quality version: ua-cam.com/video/VpXMIsIKuGs/v-deo.html
I'm not Andy.
Not sure this performance helped Jellyfish’s career any..
Where the hell is ROGER!
ya that did sound kind of wrong
Where is Roger Manning?
Playing guitar- you can see him at the beginning on the far right in the back.
What no Jason Falkner?
You don't see him? They show him quite a bit, unlike Roger...
He's jazzmaster dude
Well he wasn't on stage. Maybe he had already left the band at this point or was sick?
Chris??? Girlfriend of Andy's??
The bass player who stayed home. They could only have three musicians play on the song- the rest had to be from Dave's band.
....which is LAME.
Sort of hated how "The Late Night Band'...literally HAD...to be involved somehow...with all the guest bands. jesus.... Will Lee...

Artie Fufkin ruins it.
I dont mind Paul's band playing its actually pretty sloppy but fuck it
It was a one time chance to do it
Stop fucking up the song Paul.
@CHHSE1986 Nah, Jason wasn't the guitarist on the Spilt Milk tour, it was Eric Dover by then. This was Bellybutton all the way (didn't you see Dave hold up an old cd longbox of "Bellybutton" as he introduced them?)
@GuitarDemystified
