The Last Conan Show with the Basic Cable Band
The Conan O'Brien show is changing formats and is becoming a half-hour show in January that focuses more on web-friendly bits. As part of that change, the show will no longer have a band. On October 4th, the last episode of the current one-hour format show aired, Conan expressed his disappointment that the band won't be part of the new show and he paid tribute and highlighted the band. So in this video, we see the band including Jerry, for the last time as they play the Electric Flag's arrangement of Howlin' Wolf's "Killing Floor".
And if you miss the band, in 2019, they'll be a new Conan website that will include thousands of remastered episodes from all of his shows going back 25 years, which will obviously include the band.
