No, I don't have the episode but remember being psyched to see Miles in a drasmatic setting. I do have the video from 1959 on laserdisc, where he introduced "So What" and played three tunes with the Gil Evans Orchestra. Other Miles videos I have are the DVDs of the recent documentary film and concerts from Paris, 1969, Montreal, 1975, and Montreuex, 1991, with Quincy Jones. In an interview once Miles commented on his unwillingness to play the older material, saying, "If I had to play that stuff I'd probably have a heart attack or something". Prophetic, indeed.

I also have over 100 Miles albums and CDs.
