God Damn I miss you guys! I cried the day I found out that mark passed. It was the day I bought The Night, that album torn me up and healed me all in the same.
"The Only One" - what a sublimely beautiful song. This guy had such an amazing way of saying things, I can't think of anyone that comes close, Mr Sandman, you are one of my all time heroes, I can never get enough of your music. Thank you.
sublimely beautiful in content and gesture, old school sound done in a way that will feel forever fresh and never dated to millions who have yet to even hear it... This is music for musicians and people who can feel.
Being near Boston as they garnered attention around the globe was truly thrilling, especially since one knew how much Sandman had worked in the music scene already. Remarkable talents all.
Loved this group, almost like a throwback to 50s era rock, not that I was alive then ;-) And these two songs, man.. I don't think I could possibly list my favorite Morphine jams, much less in order. But -if- I did have a list, these two would certainly make it. Thanks for the awesome upload behind007!
I've always wondered what the f**** happened on march 4th,1982? awesome band, they had this unique sound, and sandman bass lines were so mystical and moody, they just kicked my ass from the first listen.
nothing that i gotta do/gotta get it to the bank. lol still the best band of all time, and this performance is rather rare. these guys never did a bad song and i will love them forever. thank you, behind007.

@joynthis Dude! I agree with that. They do not get credit for how heavy they were. Listen to A Good Woman Is Hard to Find on your stereo with the volume on 10 and tell me another band that fills in the bottom end like Morphine does..........ok.....maybe........MAYBE!......Master Of Reality era Black Sabbath, and that's saying something.
Was it really at a TV show? I remember being in a french radio show where Morphine performed these songs. Might be this one? Taj Mahal was also part of the show. Anyway, thanks a lot for sharing! Reminds me of this great band that I was lucky to see live a lot of times,
When i first heard about the band...just a guitar, drums and sax i thought that was different but I had no idea how Killer morphine was...The sandman had such a sultry voice..
@AwwwMuadDib Two of the most original and ground breaking bands of the 90's and IMO of all time. They don't get enough credit. It seems the critics want to suck Radiohead's collective ***** and ramble on about Nirvana, Pearl Jam, My Bloody Valentine and Pavement like they owned the '90's, and while I love (Some of) those bands too (Loveless is one of the best albums of all time IMO), I despise the fact that those same critics don't give bands like Morphine or Primus the credit they deserve.
Well you don't see a double sax player too often! In fact, this is the third one I've seen, the first two being Van der Graaf Generator's David Jackson, and, of course, Roland Kirk, who could even play three, if I recall correctly... Anyway, it's great to see a band that has an original style and even greater to see one that plays sincere music!
This is actually better than the version on "Yes" (and that's stupendous). Somebody needs to release a collection of stuff like this with better sound. How come "Sandbox" didn't do that?
two people are allergic to morphine.My buddy and I saw them in 98' @ horde fest, we were on shrooms and I do believe it was the most beautiful musical experience I've ever had!
You tell me that your hungry and you wanna stop and eat/ well if it was up to me/ we wouldn't even stop to eat/ you ask me: 'hey what happened to you where's your handsom smile?'/ I say its back be behind me, back about a hundred miles.
"All the time in the world", Marky boy??? That didn't prove to be true, did it? Nonetheless, Sandman and his denizons of the deep were innovators, and Colley was king on the double-duty thing (well, next to Jeff Coffin) Actually, I still enjoy this dark, despondent stuff ....when the mood strikes
My baritone is a Conn 1933
my tenor is a Selmer Mark 6 1969
holy fuck... congratulations on all your work, amazing musician you are.
God Damn I miss you guys! I cried the day I found out that mark passed. It was the day I bought The Night, that album torn me up and healed me all in the same.
Holy shit! I have so many questions and not one way to ask
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING !
That's stamina.
Each artist alone in Morphine is a star, but together they are a supernova
two saxaphones at once, I think Dana might just be a legend that shouldn't be forgotten
GamesULove Rolland Kirk
he's like roland kirk!
Rahsaan Roland Kirk did it first, moron
Amen
"The Only One" - what a sublimely beautiful song. This guy had such an amazing way of saying things, I can't think of anyone that comes close, Mr Sandman, you are one of my all time heroes, I can never get enough of your music. Thank you.
Fully Agree
Del Spence His lyrics were often blunt and simply said, yes?
"Your version of success is different from the rest"
You guys are the best band I have ever seen.
sublimely beautiful in content and gesture, old school sound done in a way that will feel forever fresh and never dated to millions who have yet to even hear it... This is music for musicians and people who can feel.
First Video i saw from them. Since then,i have been a Morphine-addict.
They were just way too fucking good.
The bass sounds like it is crying in a good way on only one.
Insane, these guys were really on a completely different level..........
This band is unreal
Mark's intelligence shines through...
Being near Boston as they garnered attention around the globe was truly thrilling, especially since one knew how much Sandman had worked in the music scene already. Remarkable talents all.
They were just as awesome live as they were on their albums.
Yes. Yes, they were. One of the best bands to see in Boston back then.
Gigantes! Superbly fantastic, these guys were innovators. Saudações do Brasil!

WOW ! Thank you for this !
OH... MY... GOD... Morphine, I bow down!
Thank you behind007 for making a grown man cry
:P
UHHH! Curti demais!! Eu tinha o disco Yes!
13 years after I saw the footage of Morphine at Glastonbury I STILL marvel at the 2 sax trick!
Mark Sandman RIP
OH my God.....I get to see the greatest band ever, live now. Thank You Thank You Thank You!!!!!!
thanks for posting this... it's great live performance. david, tbilisi
makes you wonder what happened on march 4, 1982
March 4 '82 was within a week or two of when I first met Mark. I lived across the street.
Wow! Share your story!! @@cymbya
Morphine rules. Dana's double-sax is amazing.
The best trio from Boston. What an acid music!!
Saw them in a hellhole bar in Dallas. This is a great example of how HEAVY they were live.
Jesus god that was good. I've never even heard "The Only One" before. That was fantastic.
Alguna apuesta que suba éste nivel.. Vamos... Perfecta banda para mis oídos... Lo cual no significa que sea la mejor... Aúpa esos morphine!!
Thanks! thanks! thanks! for sharing these videos
Very gifted musicians
One of my favorite bands ever!

"I got all the time in the world. To spare."
I think he knew better. That was chilling.
Killer performance! Thanks!
un-fricking believable!!! To bad they are gone.
PERFECT!!!
Now I am pretty sure: I saw the video one more time and saw a "Europe 1" banner.
It was a show presented by Marc Toesca, I was there!!!
THX A lot!!! Love them!
the sax player is sedate no skerik
thanks next time I'll set my self on fire
-dana colley
Too funny. lol
DUDE ! You set US on fire ...Or lulled us into a warm bath
This sound!!! Amaaaaaaazing.
Absolutely BADASS!
absolutely amazing! they're better live than in records!
Check that, google tells me it was on Good?? They must have changed it up a lot, because it really seems like I would remember it!
Brilliant! Love Dana Colley's gruff sound!
He makes that bass cry
So cool, great band.
Awesome, awesomem, awesome...
@joynthis Dude! I agree with that. They do not get credit for how heavy they were. Listen to A Good Woman Is Hard to Find on your stereo with the volume on 10 and tell me another band that fills in the bottom end like Morphine does..........ok.....maybe........MAYBE!......Master Of Reality era Black Sabbath, and that's saying something.
The double saxophone of Dana Colley is what first got me interested in Morphine...the rest is history.
Was it really at a TV show? I remember being in a french radio show where Morphine performed these songs. Might be this one?
Taj Mahal was also part of the show.
Anyway, thanks a lot for sharing! Reminds me of this great band that I was lucky to see live a lot of times,
Bombastic trio
Sure miss this great band. You are the only one, Mark.
@kristofor12345 The song Radar is from the "Yes" album.
When i first heard about the band...just a guitar, drums and sax i thought that was different but I had no idea how Killer morphine was...The sandman had such a sultry voice..

I saw Rahsaan live and he played 3 saxes and a nose flute and with his circular breathing technique, he could create a tapestry of sound.
I dream to see them live
Fuckin love me some Morphine.
I heard Rhino records owns the Morphine catalog now. Write to them and bug them. There have to be mountains of great unreleased Morphine songs!
@billyjustice1 Lucky you :) Must have been great !
This is actually better than the version on "Yes" (and that's stupendous). Somebody needs to release a collection of stuff like this with better sound. How come "Sandbox" didn't do that?
i cant feel anything.
it must be working.
awesome.
two people are allergic to morphine.My buddy and I saw them in 98' @ horde fest, we were on shrooms and I do believe it was the most beautiful musical experience I've ever had!
which microphone he uses? that one on the left.. it has an awesome vintage sound...
it's called a bullet mic. i think designed for harmonicas. les claypool uses one these days with a "sandman" sticker on it
You tell me that your hungry and you wanna stop and eat/ well if it was up to me/ we wouldn't even stop to eat/ you ask me: 'hey what happened to you where's your handsom smile?'/ I say its back be behind me, back about a hundred miles.
Que musicasos del carajo!
Sonzera! :D :D :D
@cinemarveler he got what everyone gets, he got a lifetime.
ПРОСТО КАЙФ
I always assumed March 4, 1982 was the day he got caught cheating with a married woman, as the lyrics to Thursday say.
I don't know, that sounds good though.
🖤🇩🇪
To me, Tenor for the solo. But there are also baritone and tenor in the mix behind.
@nuclear944 buscher con for his bari don't remember the year
Dirty, Gritty, Sexy 🖤🖤 and sweet God dam beautiful sound🖤🇩🇪
You Couldn't Trade My Radar
Thanks for the info, but does anyone know what his tenor is?
Does anyone know the model of Dana Colley's saxophones?
The bari was a Conn the tenor a Selmer Mark VI
@Uchuuneko You just insulted Dana Colley (I mean literally, he's right here posting comments).
One Tenor in his left hand, one Baritone in his right hand ;)
They are Gods
you-are-the-only-one
Morphine is the really diffirent band..
"All the time in the world", Marky boy??? That didn't prove to be true, did it? Nonetheless, Sandman and his denizons of the deep were innovators, and Colley was king on the double-duty thing (well, next to Jeff Coffin)
Actually, I still enjoy this dark, despondent stuff ....when the mood strikes
the only one!
Mark is beautiful af
I'm sad about that too, But everything happens for a reason i guess.
double sax wowzzza
Wtf is happening with horns???.....my ears won't be the same .....ever
why did Mark Sandman have to leave us?
:(
... and here I always thought they overdubbed the saxes.
Fuck me.
What album is Radar from?
"Yes" album
If God existed Mark Sandman would still be with us :(
Ive never seen someone play two saxophones.
Only 1 like?
