What people fail to realize is Pere Ubu is probably the greatest alternative band of all time

Paul is one of the few musical geniuses alive. He always knew the bands, he always had the right song at his fingertips. No one knows music better. Don’t underestimate Paul.

Yes, that's Eric Drew Feldman, who played with Beefheart, Snakefinger, Ubu and others. Don't miss the fact that Paul is participating here as well. These guys were not just some freaks that hitch hiked to get there. Paul dug them, it's obvious and was probably responsible for getting them on the show in the first place. A rare masterpiece on American TV.

Great stuff. Something about Letterman's show, and I don't think I noticed it at the time, is that Shaffer and his guys did NOT just phone this stuff in. They knew what these bands were about and they prepared and they participated. It shows a level of respect for the bands AND the audiences that's pretty great to see in action.

I've seen the band dozens of times through various lineups. And their most recent stop in Chicago was the most powerful Ubu show I've ever seen. They were absolutely on fire! And for those of you that may not know, former Ubu guitarist Jim Jones passed away a week ago in Cleveland.

Not the first time that a keyboardist that works with the Residents has been on national TV, without the Residents. I've seen Feldman a number of times in various bands, including when he played with the Pixies and Pere Ubu at the same show.

I'm pretty sure the Commitments movie was early nineties like 91 so I don't think this was from 89 but rather early nineties. Just looked up and the album is called "World's in Collision"(not collusion like Dave erroneously said)and is from 91 so there you go.

Yeah, that would be 1991 since that's when the album came out and Drew Feldman (keyboards) was in the band. Too bad they had that rule that Paul and the band have to play too- no Tony on bass and Scott is demoted to congas.

Pere Ubu was always a great, if eccentric, band. But this reminds me of the days on Letterman where that over-achieving geek Paul Shaffer insisted on having HIS band play along with any guest musicians. By the time that policy ended, there were a lot fewer interesting musical guests.

Ben Walivaara That's good maybe he took what I said (or ya know, yelled) to heart. Randomly in between songs he starts talking about Star Trek and then the "punch line" of the bit is something like, "The one crazy thing about that show was, I don't know about you guys but I would never follow a WOMAN into space! Haha!" Like of all topics, first of all, and then of all star trek related things to say? Then I yelled "hey man womenare smart and don't need that shit!" and he responds, "Good thing I don't care what you think! don't you have a protest to be at?"
