[Alive From Off Center](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0217243/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1) I really liked this show. What I remember most was the music and dance acts. I’m pretty sure this was my earliest exposure to certain now well known acts like Stomp. Any one else remember this show? I saw it on KUHT, Houston PBS in the mid to late 80s ---

I remember catching some episodes on Alabama Public TV when I was in college. I don’t remember any specific episodes but I seem to recall some stuff with David Byrne and Laurie Anderson. ETA: Looks like there’s a lot of stuff on YouTube. ---

Stomp may have still been Pookiesnackenburger when I saw them on this show. The number I remember is a post apocalyptic ‘fight’ scene. Having a hard time finding a video to link to. Mid to late 80s… Plenty of later Stomp vids on youtube.
