The performance on SNL (with horns) was somehow even more mind-blowing. The audience was transfixed. I was perfect edge to the zeitgeist. It was like the Beatles on Ed Sullivan or the Beasties on Letterman.

they do when they play the song for TV appearances (see colbert 2011). they dont tour with an orchestra or horn section.

No idea who followed them on the show, but can you imagine? They must’ve been like “what’s the fucking point now?”

My brain just goes on some kind of tilt and I have to come back and listen to this again.

I remember my mother screaming at me when I was a teenager, when she was asking me to put the sound lower because it was to loud in the house 😂 it was so good

Still looks incredible!
