I love this video. Elvis starts out with 'Less Than Zero,' but then goes into a scorching 'Radio Radio,' which he was evidently told not to play. Back when SNL was something you might actually want to watch.
He was banned from SNL until 1989 and has since appeared twice. Ironically, he reprised the moment with the Beastie Boys as his backing band at the SNL 25th anniversary show. I'm sure YOuTube has the clip.
Did you guys know that Pete Thomas's shirt says "Thanks Malc" because the Sex Pistols were originally scheduled to play that show? At the last minute, Malcolm McLaren couldn't obtain visas for all the band members because of criminal records.

Yeah, but that was a softball. Just don't ask us about prog.
