I know raven already published this one but my post is a live version and is longer so I thought I'll give it a try.

From wikipedia:
Tank! is the opening song for the anime show Cowboy Bebop. The song, composed by Yoko Kanno and performed by The Seatbelts, has an extensive Alto Saxophone solo, as well as a fil part at the end. The song is a Big Band Style Jazz piece with a rhythm part that combines a bass guitar and conga drums. The beginning of the song features a voice over from the show's main character, Spike Spiegel, which alludes to a heist taking place over the duration of the song.

Awesome song from a great show. I am not an anime fan but I really love Cowboy Bebop.

Damn, that's pretty good live.

I've never heard the longer (full?) version before, thanks for posting it!

great post. i usually hate the sax, but i love this guy.

i always enjoyed cowboy bebop's openning theme (almost as much as another anime's openning theme song which i've thought about posting but can never find a high quality post of...)

Cowboy Bebop has usually had great music, especially the movie. In case it is not obvious to all viewers of the show "bebop" is a style of jazz (although, not the style of the theme song particularly). It's a style that originated in the early 50s (not sure about the date of origination) and it was the start of jazz NOT being music for dancing.
