SNL at the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame

I recently visited the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame to check out their new exhibit SNL:Ladies & Gentleman...50 Years Of Music. Of course my project only covers the first five seasons here, so I was most excited about seeing what the exhibit had from that era. There was actually quite a bit from 1975-80. 

For instance, the Blues Brothers costumes worn by Jake (John Belushi) and Ellwood (Dan Aykroyd) in their Season 4 performance.

Bill Murray's "Nick Winters" costume from Season 3 is also on display.

Murray wore this when he sang "Star Wars" as Nick the lounge singer.

And Paul Shaffer's jacket from his time as SNL's piano player.

There's also a wall covered with SNL's bumper photos that feature musical guests. The photos change every few seconds. 

Some SNL bumper photos created buy Edie Baskin and Mary Ellen Matthews.

I was glad to see another wall that displayed Saturday Night Live's Season 4 logo, so I couldn't resist a photo in front of it.

Of course musical moments from later seasons are also spotlighted, such as "More Cowbell."

If you're a hardcore SNL fan and you can get to Cleveland, this exhibit is worth your time. 

Check back tomorrow when I review Saturday Night's first episode of 1978.
