Tav Falco's Panther Burns on Marge Thrasher 1979 - Video
PUBLISHED:  Aug 27, 2013
DESCRIPTION:
Thanks very much to our friend Vincent Wrenn, seen here as a member of the original Panther Burns Orchestra, for providing us with this footage.

As seen in a more condensed version in the wonderful Big Star documentary "Nothing Can Hurt Me" (2013), this is Tav Falco & Panther Burns performing on a Memphis morning talk show hosted by Marge Thrasher in May 1979. Featuring Eric Hill, Vincent Wrenn, Ross Johnson, Rick Ivy and Alex Chilton (introduced by Tav as "Axle Chitlin"), Tav & company rip thru a treatment of the Burnette Brothers' version of "Train Kept a Rollin'".

Following this song, a befuddled Thrasher carries on an interview with Tav, as angry as she is curious as to what she has just witnessed on her show. Her exchange with a smooth & confident Tav Falco is priceless.
