Stevie Wonder's -Superstition
What is that with the funky riff at the start. For longest, I just thought it was a organ with some effects, but now I'm not sure...

I like the "Trim 69 pound package" comment.
Trim....compared to a Rhodes or a B-3, maybe.

This won't really give you much of a look at the clav action.
One guitar is doubling the familiar clav riff.

GOD Stevie's voice is amazing.
Another good tune with some Clavinet is "Exodus", Bob Marley & the Wailers.
That link actually shows it well because of the guitar line, but there are two tracks of clav on Stevie's album-version of that song, which is why it's so damn difficult to play it like the recording.
If you ever listen to the studio recording, there are also like three separate tracks of different sized hi-hats. Stevie did most of his own drumming on those records, and he often did multiple passes.
It's also fun to go back and listen to the original version by Beck, Bogart and Appice--it's heavy and cool. (Stevie wrote it for Jeff Beck to record, and after Beck recorded it with BBA, Stevie's label was pissed that he'd let such a potentially huge hit go to someone else, so he did his own version later).

BUT IT IS AWESOME!That show was so cool when Jim Henson was alive and a couple of years after. Now it kinda sucks. I probably watched it regularly from about 86 to 93, it started to go down hill and i grew up, but i'd happily watch some of the older stuff if it was on dvd.

Actually, I saw this when it first aired.
I guess I was around 8.
It stopped me dead in my tracks.
You can see the kids rocking out on the fire escapes.
That's about the way I reacted.
It blew me away when I rediscovered it on Youtube.
An early musical memory, still valid and just as potent when I see it now

I love that tune. Have done it in every band I've been in since the 80s and I'm never tired of it.
Strat instead of Clav
