never seen this..from MTV unplugged days

cool footage! nice j-200 guitar despite bad mic'ing technique
these guys look so done with each other here.. the party just doesnt last in life does it

I love it, never saw it before. What a waste, that a larger audience didnt appreciated them back then.
First time I ever seen Lee standing to Brians right

Thanks for posting that TV. Just find this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51GH1hKx_WY&feature=player_embedded

Speaking of long-lost Setzer stuff, waaaay before the whole "Crossroads" series took off (where they pair 2 different musicians playing each other's songs), around the time of Unplugged, didn't they have a show called "Duets" or somethng? I read that Brian Setzer did a show with Brian Adams (who I know was also a huge rockabilly fan)... but have never fond evidence of it.

Awesome clip! Did Stray Cats do an unplugged?

Notes: Filmed for VH1's "Duets" television program.
Broadcast date unknown.
Bryan Adams: guest on all songs. Setlist incomplete.

That's TOTALLY new.... never heard of that show before. The one I'm talking about was filmed as a tv program. Don't know if it was with the Orchestra, or BEFORE the orchestra? Not sure.

Here is a cool one.

This is the show you asked about in your first post.

The show at the Park Plaza Hotel on March 26, 1996 was filmed by VH1 for their series "Duets" - as mentioned in the notes under the setlist. It was a BSO performance with Bryan Adams as the featured guest. VH1 broadcast it as a Brian Setzer/Bryan Adams co-headlining show - they were introduced that night as "Brian Setzer and Bryan Adams with The Brian Setzer Orchestra"

What was broadcast on tv was not the complete performance.

aahh... thanks for the info RMC. I've never seen it, but would like to because like I said, I was a huge Bryan Adams fan in my teens and know rockabilly was his #1 music that he loved. He covered rockabilly and early rnr (like Check Berry) in concert all the time.
