I believe Grant Lee Buffalo played "Mockingbirds" on 120 minutes on September 25, 1994. I have a recording of the performance that has the typical 120 minutes "intro" screen, which lists the performer, the song, and the date (without the year).

I think it was 1994 because the album "Mighty Joe Moon" was released on 9/20/1994, so I'm guessing they were on the show to promote the album by playing one of the songs. - Adam
