Thoughts from Brian A.: I could swear that during this show, they played the video for Bad Religion "American Jesus", and that this video for some reason had a different mix than the video usually played (more prominent bass, added vocal harmony, etc). I realize that the video is not shown in the listing, but, for one, I know I recorded from 120 Minutes because it has the logo. Also, after that video I have a couple seconds of "Streets of London" by the Anti-Nowhere league. November 19th is the only listing that has that video. Is it possible that video could have been missed?

Brian's comments: At the very beginning of one of my tapes, the first video is Smashing Pumpkins - "Bullet With Butterfly Wings", and immediately after that, a couple seconds of Sonic Youth - "Diamond Sea". I couldn't find these two adjacent anywhere, which causes me to think it might have been on October 8th. I feel certain it would fit in your October 1995 listing.

Might have missed the first video, which was supposed to be by Soul Asylum, though my guess is they played the wrong first track- I mean- look at what was played first on the list- doesn't fit, does it? A multiple performer hip-hop, R&B, soul song...a bad one at that.
