A Christmas blockbuster of unforgettable music moments from TV’s archives. Highlights include [[Van Morrison]] (vocals and drums!) and [[The Chieftains]] with a storming St Pat’s Day rendition of ‘[[Raglan Road]]’ ; NBC’s Tonight Show host Jay Leno following a bizarre line of questioning into the messy end of sheep farming following [[PJ Harvey]]’s mighty solo version of ‘Rid Of Me’ ; a pasty-faced [[The Rolling Stones|Rolling Stones]] sitting cross-legged at the feet of [[Howlin' Wolf|Howling Wolf]] in a vintage US clip; Daisy Chainsaw on The Word; sensitive ‘70s singer-songwriter Judy Sill breaks down and begs OGWT viewers to “please buy my album” so that she may avoid the martyrdom of opening for “snotty rock’n’roll bands” - without any obvious irony, she then performs her fine song ‘Jesus Was A Crossmaker’ ; an extremely drunken singer is flown in painful pantomime harness and dumped onto studio floor in TOTP’s rather literal visual interpretation of ‘[[I Can't Stand Up For Falling Down|I Can’t Stand Up For Falling Down]]’ (artist unknown).<br> | A Christmas blockbuster of unforgettable music moments from TV’s archives.
