The band in question, on Jools Holland's program, in 1992, doing "In World" (probably my favorite song from their reunion album of the same year).
I hadn't seen this clip before, but it's very hard to watch it without concluding that these guys may have been the greatest live rock band ever. Jeebus, what a sound and what a groove.

Greatest band ever to come out of NYC? Discuss.

Steely Dan? California.
The Band? Toronto.
Velvet Underground? The Dolls? The Ramones? You know how I feel about that scene.
Hendrix? The band came out of London, although Band of Gypsies was from NYC.
I still say the Blues Project, but when Television were at their peak...hoo boy.

Great band, ugly hat.
ROTP(lumber)
I betcha Los Lobos could do a great version of See No Evil.
The greatest band to come out of New York probably had Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, or John Coltrane in it.
Greatest Rock N Roll band out of New York City? Both The Dolls and Television come to mind.
The Velvet Underground, no question
