For the last two weeks, a Sicilian Redditor named ItalianSausage2023 has been digitizing classic musical SNL performances from their own VHS collection. The audio and video quality's great, better than most copies of these recordings online—if they exist at all. https://www.reddit.com/user/ItalianSausage2023/submitted/
This Neil Young performance of "Rocking in the Free World" from 1989 is electric. https://www.reddit.com/r/neilyoung/comments/1rr8x9g/neil_young_1989_snl/
@andybaio I remember watching this and being blown away. The great Steve Jordan on drums and I think Chris Drayton on bass, who's also a great drummer. Thanks for sharing this!
