Sonseed’s 1982 local TV appearance.
This is essentially the same as the video that has over 15 million views, but this version with improved audio was posted by songwriter Sal Polichetti.
Sal Polichetti discussing “Jesus is a Friend of Mine” and what a long, strange trip it’s been.
A dead-on parody of the TV performance, posted on YouTube by Craig Colson, can be seen here. It prompted the following comment from Polichetti:
“Absolutely loved it! You even nailed the way I looked at the wrong camera in the last verse. The guitar solo was cool also; it was mixed so low on the original recording you can barely hear it. There’s a live version of us playing the song floating around on YouTube (from 1983) if you want to hear what it really was supposed to sound like. Again, well done!”
And here is that live version, from Sonseed’s 1983 farewell concert. “Jesus is a Friend of Mine” followed by the sublime “Wake My Slumbering Soul”.
Oh, and here’s that Glee video Sal mentioned:
