But Floyd won't allow rights, so whenever it's shown (and released on DVD) that scene is cut.

I bet a lot of bands wouldn't give them the rights. I swear that the reruns still have that scene since I saw it a couple of years ago on TV. Maybe I'm hallucinating the whole thing.

I think the Beatles were a no as well. I remember the reruns having generic music and being kinda upset. That show introduced my young brain to. Lot of cool music.

It was my after Mash and pre-Big Bang favorite comedy show. I even named my son Travis, but that was actually mostly because of Travis Beane guitars. When I saw one hanging in the window of a shop in SF, I was totally enraptured at the amazing beauty and then and there said if I ever have a son, I'm naming him Travis, in honor of this so beautiful craftsmanship and the nice guy on tv. About 15 years later, I did exactly that.
