Frank Zappa - I Am the Slime (Live on SNL 1976)

Here's a real gem of a performance (and maybe one of the boldest moves in the history of American Television), Zappa performing his fantastic and continually relevant song "I Am the Slime" on S*turday Night Live in December of 1976. As far as I can tell no Zappa SNL footage can be found anywhere online (unless it's behind a paywall) so I wanted to mirror it here for any enthusiasts.

The lineup here consists of Frank Zappa, Don Pardo as the narrator/announcer, Patrick O'Hearn on bass, Terry Bozzio on drums, Ray White on guitar, Ruth Underwood on marimba, Don Grolnick & Eddie Jobson on keys, and a horn section consisting of Al Rubin on trumpet, Ronnie Cuber on baritone sax, Lou Marini on tenor sax, Mauricio Smith on alto sax, and Tom Malone on trombone.
