James Wormworth is ALWAYS smiling. Miss these guys.
La bamba
I still remember the Max Weinberg Seven.
Worm deserves his Props, but Weinberg Did pave the way.
also Pender, ridiculously high vocals.
I was here for this taping. It was my first time seeing Conan as well; and as a bonus, was the first time my girlfriend and I told each other we love each other. It was a magical day through and through.
Conan says he's a student of late night but he is THE veteran of late night.
Now that Letterman is gone Conan is the longest running late night host, he is the KING, and I hope he stays on air for many years to come.
Bill Maher is the second longest.
he'll stay for another 5 years tops..
He's toast, a half hour only format won't cut it unfortunately on t.v.. I hope his podcast is a BIG success! :-)
I’m thinking 2027 at the latest. That’ll be 34 years; just beating Letterman’s record.
Jerry Beans Man The Old Man On The Mountain.
Oh man Conan is about to cry and I've never seen him breaking. This just shows how genuinely he cares for his band. This isn't just Conan's band, it's his family.
Hammad Ali he got his staff a huge bonus when he was fired from NBC. Dude is genuinely one of the best on late night tv.
Watch the clips from when Andy left Late Night around 2000 as well. He got pretty emotional then too!
@@trevgreg2 Oh wow yeah, I just saw the clip and Conan was clearly very emotional there. At least it worked out and they're back at it together again.

so why is he getting rid of them?
I'm going to miss La Bamba.
🎶 In the year 2000 🎶
I spent it all Conan, I spent it all on gum!
hell yeah man
@@jamesbelkin9204 The first thing I thought of.
I remember one episode where La Bamba missed dress rehearsal and Conan created a whole segment for him. It was hilarious and La Bamba handled it with gracefully. It is one of my favorite moments of the show.
I’ve been to three tapings of Conan each time I’m blown away by the band. And yes they come out early and get the crowd pumped and they play during the commercial breaks. After the show they play and Conan sings a song about that it’s time the audience to leave.
Thanks for the inside experience!! :) I've been a fan for 12 years, but never been in the audience!
True. I’ve been lucky to see him in person twice and the band is incredible
Conan is a underated ... He is way better than Colbert and Fallon ...
Fallon sucks tbh, only good thing about it is his producers ideas like games and stuff.. meanwhile Colbert is boring and more on politics.
Conan isn't Underrated... He's the guardian of late night shows.. Everyone knows it, everyone respect him
At his best he is the best, ever.
and way better than Kimmel, Corden, Seth Meyers...
Conan is the present king of all late nights..he set the standards
Going to miss them. I'm 37 now and I've been watching these guys since my teens. This makes me feel sad and old at the same time.
Same here. Throughout all the growing up, Conan & Co. was there every night to cheer everybody up.
Same.
And where I live Conan hasn't been on tv much... But thanks to the internet I've gotten my fix somehow.
Same here.
Right there with you. Literally. I'm the same age and I've been watching Conan since the beginning.
I think it's stupid that TBS doesn't simply just let us watch Conan on UA-cam, not everyone watches tv anymore. The show would get sponsors on UA-cam, I just don't get it.
You can see him getting REALLY choked up. :(
I’ve always appreciated that Conan can take some time away from the jokes and just be real.
So much of show business feels fake, but this feels so real.
I’m sorry to hear about this I know they go way back.
I miss the suicidal cows.
well said.
Why are they leaving?
They're leaving and the first lyric he sings is "I should've quit you". Lol savage.
I know hey 😂
I live your picture lol
They're keeping their sense of humor at least, lol ;)
they're probably not even going somewhere bad considering they've been Conan's band for so long
it seems like an amazing vibe between them and Conan, as sad as it seems
The song is called killing floor if anyone is interested
Oh my god. He's so sincere with it. Like. He's the most sincere talk show host in my opinion. The band is so amazing. It's so sad to see them go.
You can tell by the way he choked up that he is sincere. That's what people do when they choke up in front of a camera. Not that immediate fake cry Kimmel does every time something bad happens. That's what people do when they want to collect empathy and sympathy and attention.
The sincerity spectrum goes from Conan on one end to Fallon on the other.
It didn't seem like Kimmel was fake crying when he told the story about his son
lmao brian0918
One of the most sincere persons ever.
TBS is making a mistake they shouldn't cut the band
Adnan Tajić it’s Conan’s choice not TBS.
i don't think Conan would cut them without a really good reason. i'm pretty sure it's TBS.
Probably Conan's choice...if you have half an hour of show, you are going to overlook the band unfortunately.
@@Sasasala386 It's a budgetary constraint.
I mean, what else would he cut besides the band??
They're taking away half an hour and the band? Conan should have Fallon's job
he did (for 7 months..
Yeah, I wonder if, had the 2010 Tonight Show incident not happened, if Conan would still be host of The Tonight Show. My guess is yes.
How about have Fallon’s job getting railroaded by Leno.
Both Jimmy’s are awful. Saccharine and soulless.
@@theresnoDanaonlyZuul The most enjoyable talk show hosts are Conan, and Graham Norton, in my opinion.
I’m 38 (feeling old right now), and have been a diehard Conan fan for more than 20 years. Conan, Andy, old school Max Weinberg, the Basic Cable Band, and Conan’s cavalcade of comedic bit-performers are all legends in my eyes. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing the show live twice, and those experiences were highlights of my life. The band is FIRE, and I’m going to miss their presence like crazy as the show evolves. I’m grateful to have had them all in my life for so long. Much love from a long-time fan!
Missing Max Weinberg too man
Wait...no more La Bamba???!!😢😭
The end of an era. Much love and respect to the Max Weinberg 7 and Jimmy Vivino and The Basic Cable Band, thank you for the fantastic grooves over the past two and a half decades 👍✌️❤️🙏😭
James Belkin Dam right a lot of newbies forget Max
under max they were more jazzy..under jimmy they were too bluesy
This honestly stings in the best way possible, almost as much as that final Tonight Show speech.
Even more than his last Speech on Late Night too. It still breaks me when he had to say goodbye to NYC...
OddOneOut665 that was from a happier time
3:04 the moment when you see Conan's emotion, for Jimmy Vivino and his band, come out. Almost cracked into tears.
I've been watching Mike Merritt (the bass player) joyously smile, laugh, and crack up during the sketches since I was a teenager. One of those little things you see in every show that adds up in a big way.
Greatest band in the history of late night. All the best to the boys for 25 years. Thank you.
I love Conan's old theme song that these guys would play every night. It was jazzy, cool, exciting, and just different. I don't know what it means to the rest of you, but to me, I just can't seem to find that brand of creativity elsewhere. Thank you for so many years of great music! Keep on rockin'!
Conan is bar none, the greatest American late night television host of all time. This band is essential to the show imo, what a drag 😞
Yea man that song brings back great memories
me too! I played in a top 40's band back in my 20's (2000-2008), touring the country and making decent and consistent money (which if you are a musician, you know how hard it is to make decent AND consistent income. Anyway, Inspired by that original theme song I wrote and arranged an opening track for our shows. I was super proud of that catchy tune, but I have Conan's band to thank for the inspiration. Ah, the Max Weinberg days...
Note: I posted this as an original comment above, but I felt the need to copy it as a response to you as I feel its relevent :)
Ikue P YES THE OLD INTRO OFLATENIGHT ON NBC WAS THE BEST MEMORIES OF MY CHILDHOOD, HIM JUMPING IN THE RIVER HAHA, AND THE BAND MEMBERS ALWAYS DRESS LIKE 1930's-40's Gangsters so cool, BUT IN THE ERA THAT MUMBLE RAP IS #1, NO WONDER fallon, corden, colbert, kimmel etc etc are placed above him on purpose, or most ppl are sheep and are into that stupid comedy those other guys offer
I can instantly hear that song, love it!
Love the basic cable band. Jimmy is also a super nice guy. I met him at Namm and he spoke to me for a half hour even though he had no idea who i was. I have been to two Conan tapings in Burbank in the past, they rock the audience before the show starts
They should've did Year 2000 for old times sake.
Totally
Hahaha Pender, do you rememberwgen he sang a song about Gili the movie jajaja, did they do a yr2000 on tbs??
I'll always remember the one where carrots aren't the top veg.. but there still number one for deep anal itches.. LMAO..😂
This just breaks my heart. I remember how I started watching Conan when I was in high school. Conan is such a genuine guy and with Andy's light-hearted personality it always seemed the right fit. The band made it even better! I'm glad I was at least part of their audience for one of their tapings and got to see them live. I will miss this show so much. The 30 minute one will definitely have a different atmosphere nowhere near similar as this one. Thank you for all the wonderful years full of laughter!
Conan is right. He has had the best late night band ever! From the Max Weinberg days until now, they have always been amazing! I’m going to miss them! 😓
They’ll always be the Max Weinberg 7 to me. Their music popped even more in Conan’s old Late Night studio
Jimmy and the Crew have ALWAYS been the best!! 🎸🤘
Thanks to Jimmy, Jerry, La Bamba, Pender, Scott, Worm, & Mike! & Max too!!
GibsonManiac57 worm! Love him, my childhood name was worm. And does he still play barefoot?
Noooooooo! 😔😢 RIP Basic Cable Band.
RIP max weinberg 7
Such a moving tribute. CONAN won't be the same without Jimmy Vivino and The Basic Cable Band
Luis Hernandez or Max Weinberg, back in the days of ‘Late Night’ and ‘The Tonight Show.’
NO DUDE! NO NO NO! Well, I'm glad he's not dead at least. The notification had me worried.
hurkamur1 ikr!
Same....
Me too
It breaks my heart seeing you sad Conan 😢💔
Let’s start a petition to bring them back before the new show starts.
We failed. Sadly
@@electromuff7870 There's a new, new show now.
Wish they had invited max for the band’s final performance
I started playing trombone around the same time they started up with Conan back in the max weinberg days. I use to stay up with my dad just to watch these guys. Thank you for all you’ve done guys... thank you
Much respect Conan ! We will always support you !
Amazing band, they took part in some of my favorite comedy bits in any television I've ever seen.
In the year 2000.....
Oh those were the days... Loved that bit.
♫ *IN THE YEAR 2000!!* ♫
Conan gives a heart warming speech about the band. Then the band plays
“I should have quit you a long time ago”
They would have been worse without conan. Conan got them here .
That's the blues. (and their sense of humor)
Well, that’s the joke. And it’s a preplanned, rehearsed song that I’m sure Conan was aware they were playing.
That's the joke
CONAN's show needs to jump to FOX and directly compete with Colbert, Kimmel, and Fallon on broadcast TV. Being limited to Cable's TBS has been pushing Conan's show further to the wayside.
*second that motion!
Fox wanted Conan for years, dating back to 2004. Fox making a play for Conan was the reason NBC promised him The Tonight Show so as he wouldn't have left. Now, as we all know, that didn't work out but Fox still wanted him before TBS picked him up but the Fox stations didn't want to lose the syndication money that would air at 11pm.
He would have been canceled in 2011 if he was on a network where they expect real results.
I love the podcast and am excited about the next era of Conan on HBO Max, but damn man... born in 87... I used to watch Conan on Friday nights with my dad who worked 2nd shift at our local NBC affiliate until I was old enough to watch other days of the week. We'd always have NBC on and when you got home after midnight in the 90's, you got Conan, Max, Andy, Joel and so many other talented people. Seeing this after the end of the TBS show was something. Thanks to all involved. You've truly shaped my sense of humor and so many other things in my life with your talents.
Jimmy Vivino is an absolute master.
It was fun while it lasted... Maybe in the future invite them as a guest?
New format will have 0 bands.
yes, it'll be in the year 2000.....
Say what you will....but Conan is a risk taker! He does shows nationally and internationally. He's now changing the format and from I understand, there won't be any musical guests. Respect to him and much respect to this amazing band.
3:33 the moment when he says ''life'' mofo was about to cry so bad there awww
I got to this video because today They Might Be Giants was live streaming during an Australian radio interview and they mentioned the trumpet player. This is magical. Conan's words are fantastic, the band's sounds are amazing.
Basic Cable Band is fantastic. What a bummer. Conan and the show he's magnificently put together -- and held together -- over the years is being screwed over again. We love you all, Basic Cable Band, Conan, Andy, all of you.
They all looked so happy, thats what i love about music, it just brings out your emotions
I feel so lucky that I got to see this amazing band perform so many times. Every time I went to a taping, they just made it feel like a party. Wish they could "hold that note" just a little longer". Anybody who's been to a Conan taping will hopefully get that reference. Cheers Basic Cable Band, Thanks for all the music!
Yo my heart is breaking into pieces right now! I love Jimmy Vivino and the basic cable band
In the year 2000---------! Oh, I'm gunna miss the band.
(they haven't done that bit since 2009
Gonna miss these boys. It sucks that he’s going on vacation for like 3 months too :/
The moment the old show truly died. It was so sad. You knew the end was near, but the show we loved was fading to black. It hurts less knowing that Conan knew television's demise was right around the corner. They got out with their dignity.
Conan is such a great person... he and his crew give me hope for humanity.
why do they always do Conan dirty :( hes the best
This deeply saddens me, I've been a fan since, well since Conan's beginning of TBS
These guys have been opening up his show since the early 90s when he first started, through his entire TV career . This is a huge bummer.
the Max Weinberg 7
Wow, I actually cried after seeing this . Have watched Conan for so long and the band was always so awesome. Plus, anyone that can play the drums in a suit has my props. Have done that once before with 11 years of drumming and it isn’t an easy feat. They will definitely be missed
I've been watching Conan since 96. I've seen this band play for so long. What a sad moment. Damn us all for UA-cam usage.
So what you're saying is that Midnight Jam Sessions with The Basic Cable Band is coming January 2019?
Great Howlin' Wolf/Jimi hendrix cover of Killing Floor
To discover where they got this version from listen to the Electric Flag album "A Long Time Comin' " (originally released in 1968). The Electric Flag version would have to be the definitive version of this song.
I grew up with these guys over the past 25 years when they were the The Max Weinberg 7 and on when they became Jimmy Vivino and the Basic Cable Band. While I don't watch Conan nearly as much as I used to in those early days, I always loved how the band wasn't just an accessory to Conan, but was frequently part of the monologue and in skits.
I'll miss you guys. Keep on rocking.
I love the section at 6:40 so filled with energy! thanks so much for your amazing music!
None of this would've happened if Leno had retired with some grace. Conan and his staff have been dealt a lousy hand time and again.
Still, over two decades of steady employment as a musician is impressive. They're all talented and with their credentials can get into teaching and touring easily.
Yet Conan had so much grace to demand the Tonight Show before Leno was ready to retire and he was still number 1.
So glad I got to see them live
This is music
danny D me too theyre amazing
What a band! Will miss their music and acting
It’s sucks to see them go 😢, I’ve been watching Conan on tbs when he started back up, and just hearing that band play every time they came on, was rock solid, and always made my night, so so sorry to see you guys go
Long live the Basic Cable Band. Everyone may mention LA Bamba, but who can forget Mark "Loveman" Pender. Worm and his no shoes drum playing. Healy and his receding hairline. Merrit's bug eye expressions and the talented Vivino boys. And of course who could forget the original leader Max Weinberg. Thanks boys for 25 years of great music and terrible acting. Huzzah!!!
30 minute format and lose the Band!?
*_Terrible mistake TBS!_*
SSArt98 Conan made these changes, not TBS
no way in hell conan chose to get rid of his band
I agree!
That's BS!
Well at least his show didnt get moved until midnight *cough* NBC *cough*
I've been lucky enough to go to about 4 Conan tapings on trips out from the UK and it's crazy how well they play and warm up the audience beforehand. From the second they launch into "Move On Up" you can tell the show has begun, and I don't know how they do the same thing day in day out but they really nail it every time. I'm gonna miss you guys!!
I was lucky enough to sit in the audience of a recording of Conan a few years ago. Before Conan comes out, the band starts playing Move on Up by Curtis Mayfield. LaBamba is walking around the studio as he's playing the trombone, then he hands his trombone to some random person in the audience and tells her to start playing while he sings the lyrics. Haha. They are so entertaining and amazing musicians. During the commercial breaks, of course the audience doesn't actually see any ads. We just got to hear the band play a song. Conan just kinda walked around the band as they played and I could tell that he really admired Jimmy Vivino's skill on the guitar.
didn't look like Conan was going to make it through this one. whew! what a sweet guy and what an amazing band. hate to see the fellows go, they have ALSO made me smile an untold number of times over the last 25 years. Yes, even you Labamba. ;)
Nooo! This cannot be happening! First how dare they cut Conan to only half an hour, and get rid of Jimmy Vivino & The Basic Cable Band? Such outrage! I have been watching Conan since I was a kid in the 90s, it won't be the same without the band. 😭
Conan agreed to it tho lol
@@damnmuggle Nonetheless, my statement still stands. I will always be a fan of Conan regardless. Most of us that grew up with Conan, the change is a bit hard on us. At least me anyway.
@Christian Ibarra Yeah I already looked into it.
it's not a real late-night talk show anymore (30mins/no band); it's a viral video machine.. *he should just do a weekly travel show (2 international trips per month / 2 domestic..& take a celebrity guest along, occasionally, instead of sit-down interviews..
@@lucrativelyrics8131 I agree
For Conan to say it was the best music he's ever heard in his life? You know how much they actually meant to him
I can't stop watching this clip.. such a bittersweet song choice. Such a great sound. These guys are right up there with the Blues Brothers Band in my eyes in terms of talent and power.
I love this band... Weird song choice though, "I shoulda quit you a long time ago... I should'a been gone
And I wouldn't've been here, down on the killin' floor."
Sounds like they might not be psyched about being forced to leave.
Or they have a great sense of humor
It's a joke, man! That's basically the brand of humour for the Conan Show - wickedly self-depreciating
You must be new here...
@@bigkingbud It was Killing Floor, but in the version of Electric Flag to be exact
@@bigkingbud Yes they even do the exact same key changes during the solo. Horn arrangements are near identical, this was clearly done with lots of love for Bloomfield & Electric Flag!
If anyone should be let go it should be
Jordan Schlansky he doesn't do anything 😂
he has various tasks which are many in number.
Under the title of associate producer
Met Jimmy Vivino and Mike Merritt during my bohemian Chelsea Guitar days. Wonderful, down to earth people. I know the will land on their feet with plenty more gigs to come.
So im 2 years too late but damn this made me tear up. I hope they’ll be in the new HBO max show :(
I was not ready for this...!!😢😢
This hurts the very depths of my soul
Fantastic music! Really enjoyed it
Thank you for the memories.
The band is leaving? THERE’S NO REASON TO LIVE! WHERE’S MY KAYAK?!
Југо Цај
Ha!
I haven't watched Conan since he went off regular TV. One of the better late night talk shows, everything is to political now.
Aww you guys are awesome! All the best to you all!
This is bittersweet. You guys are the best band on TV, period.
wtf!!! the ones that should be on a 30 min format are fallon,kimmel and colbert!!!!
Conan is the one who made the decision. He's going to do more "Team Coco" online content (Clueless gamer, Without Borders, etc) that ties in with the show, thus the 30 min format. He's actually adapting well to the digital age, and is a good move imo
Colbert and Kimmel should be off the air, or at least honestly promoted as a political show.
fallon, kimmel, colbert should be 5-minute webisodes
ripdajacker23 plus also the podcast. He knows that tv is dying so he’s branching out 👍
This is how cost cutting starts. First no band, then only a 30 minute show & then no show.
The new show will probably be just as expensive if not more, due to all the traveling.
it should be a weekly travel show
They're my favorite late night show band! I still have this episode on my DVR and it's bittersweet
having been to 3 tapings.. they'd really get the crowd pumped and kept the energy going thru the whole show during breaks.
i hate whats happening. i wanted even 2 hours of Conan, not less!!
at least can dig thru the archives now (every show will be online, apparently..25 years of conan eps
Labamba, Trumpet Guy :(
Edwin G Pender
what about jimmy, jerry, mark, worm, & the scosco..
Excellent band... and excellent mix to whomever the AE is. Loved the hard panned horns
Always Loved these fellas! Hopefully the next steps are wonderful for you all! 💖
Why is the show switching over to a 30-min format in the first place? Can someone please enlighten?
Times are changing. Traditional television is losing viewers to online content. Versatility is more important than ever.
@@Anonymous-pm7jf Just saw his other video explaining the new format. Glad he's embracing Digital.
Leno should have to pay for the band until Jay dies/Conan's show ends
Why? Jay was number 1 for 20+ years
I had the honor to trade solos with the saxophonist, Jerry Vivino, in my high school jazz band in May. He is truly such an amazing person, as is the rest of the band. Glad they’re going out with a bang
they are simply amazing!
So sad. It won't be the same without the band.
Wtf? Sitcoms are 30 minutes long, not late night talk shows.
last call with Carson Daly
fallon's got roots, colbert's got john __legend__? (whats' his name), kimmel's got his best friend on sax, seth HAD fred (who still occasionally drops by), corden's got reggie watts (*who should've become conan's band leader)..but now poor coco's a no-go :(
The Daily Show has been doing it for years, as well as others like John Oliver.
last week tonight is on HBO (& therefore commercial free; so it's 30 minutes of uninterrupted content)..also, it's (along with the daily show) a political/news satire show (different format than late night talk shows)..
Jon Batiste
Conan, I have been watching you since your very first show on NBC. I am shocked and saddened to hear the band is not going to be on the show anymore with your new format. I honestly can't imagine the show without them as they have been so involved with the show over the years. I do wish them the very best and hope they maybe will tour so I can see them in person.
such a sad day coco.. my heart weeps for you!! i hope you know how loyal your fanbase is! if i could get time out of my work.. id love to come and see the show. i have a dangerous job. and even jsut your youtube channel brings sunshine into my day! Thanks coco! #TEAMCOCO4LIFE
