The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion - 2 Kindsa Love (Live on Recovery)

Recovery was a music and youth-oriented television series that was broadcast by ABC TV in Australia. The show was aired each Saturday morning from 9am to 12pm from 20 April 1996 to 29 April 2000.

It’s a tragedy that The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion has never played The Superbowl Half Time Show.

[@TshepoKotelo]

If he did I'm not sure anyone would watch the 2nd half. I would leave the stadium because this is better than any sporting event in the world

[@jasperhalco871]

This is potentially one of the greatest live performances by anyone ever. And musically great too - kinda sounds like the Cramps on speed lol

[@TheFreedom35s]

Without a doubt! I think my second favourite might be JSBE on Jools Holland!

Recovery: How many microphones do you need? Jon: YES

I was in the studio audience for this and I would like to say that it was awesome but little 14yo me was terrified (3:36 Adidas jacket). The atmosphere was intense because of the unpredictability of the whole thing. When we left the studio, I saved a chunk of the Blues Explosion Styrofoam sign and kept it for 5 years or so. I wish I still had it.

[@KingBoner]

awesome story

[@playlistismo]

I'm shocked! All televisioned band live performances should be chaotic like this! We are tired of this clean versions of shows ... Epic & Legendary!

[@ameliawagus6248]

I'll never forget watching this as a teenager on a tiny black and white television 🖤

[@leethomas7659]

Saw this live on Sat morning when it aired. Straight 🔥🔥🔥

[@tpbrcombo]

Me too. Could not believe my eyes. It just didn’t stop. 😂

[@cyyytr0n]

That cameraman soldiered on, got pushed away, had to run and dodged the hits, the blues explosion ain't no joke

[@toshiba_g]

The Blues really Exploded this time

[@rdnorthup]

My favorite moment of this video (tough call, I know, so many possibilities) is Jon Spencer's calculated decision, after realizing he can't easily take down the inflatable R sign, is to run across the performing area OVER Russel Simmons' drum kit, not AROUND it, and tear down the JSBX sign in the back. I saw Jon Spencer play a small venue couple months back where I live, with the drummer and bassist from the Bobby Lees. First time I'd ever seen him play live in the 30 years I've been listening to his music (why? can't really say) I was blown away. He's still got it. Whole band was amazing. The blues is still number one!

[@ThyRandomOne]

I sadly missed out on my chance earlier this year to see Jon Spencer live, as in February he stopped in my state. Wish I had heard about it before now, but still. I can only imagine how damn good that show was

[@Watts660]

This is what Rock n Roll should look like! Quite possibly the best live performance by any band on the planet.

[@jono1167]

I watch this at least once a week! Brilliant 👍👍👍 The greatest studio performance ever!

[@DressMeSlow]

The blues is number one!!! 🤘

[@RUBIZEN]

There were no "CHEAP SEATS" on this night!

[@oortx]

probably the biggest live music moment on australian tv for the last 30 years

[@bazklazcliff]

THE BLUES IS NUMBER ONE!

[@kathyjuneart]

I've seen them 4 times over 30 years, once with R. L. Burnside in Atlanta. If you have a chance to see them, GO! One of my favorite bands to see in the raw, wild and loud. Keep diggin' that ditch!

[@mickbaker9852]

The best video ever released on the internet...

[@pytheus]

Yes!!!! We've got the flava!! Come on!! Thank you!!

[@ron808080]

then he just picks up his guitar and fucks off. haha that was amazing!!😂

[@londoncalling1757]

Don't no much about them .. but they are fantastic... i found a single in my dads collection.. did they used to be called jon Spencers louts or is that a different band ...

[@eamonncunningham1585]

Absolutely Brilliant 😁

[@Genny-Zee]

Now I know where all the sell out bands got their inspo from, they’re nothing on the JSBX! This epic performance deserves way more views!! I really wish I was there for this - a chaotic performance but something very special.

[@pontiaclemansgt]

I said the BLUES is NUMbER ONE

[@MrWetrock]

Lots of fun there

[@brucemangeard2453]

Legend says that they invented wireless mic just for him

[@radsketchpad]

F#$king legends.

[@benmac5253]

This is the soundtrack to Evolution... WTF . Been decades and still holds so much power for me. . WOW.

[@TshepoKotelo]

Is this guy playing a theramin?

[@veitchy88]

Yes. It’s a Moog Vanguard. IIRC he added an extra input and/or controls so he could run his guitar through it and into the PA to save bringing a seperate guitar amplifier.

[@TheJakubPalacz]

Hope he bought his own mic next time

[@RayDavies452]

fuck yeah

[@indishdusk2880]

Jyeah.

[@ปฐมaพราว]

😀..😂😂

[@converse1762]

I like that Spencer shoves the cameraman for no apparent reason before attacking the theremin.

[@tpbrcombo]

The cameraman would have affected the pitch of the theremin from where he was so I think he was getting him out of that space but it was excellent theatre nonetheless 😂

[@tylerthompson1842]

Needs a bass bad

[@andrewmainman4520]

no they don't.....

[@Fig8907]

Who needs a bass when you've got the blues?
