IM Russsian . i still use my car aston martin model DB II (11) in Thailand with its song , but im old men ))))) hihihi if i crazy start. i have family rus . but i like. this song
1:02-1:04 Get a load of bassist Michael Steele’s reaction while singing her verse after someone throws a garment from the audience onto her mic stand. And she doesn’t miss a beat. Priceless! 🤣 A true professional. Love her! 😃
Probably the best female rock group of all time. They all sing and play their own instruments. To this day as seniors they still look pretty wear mini skirts and sound great.
Good God. Hard to believe it's 34 (now 36 almost) years ago. I recall that this song took off like a rocket in 1986, and felt kind of like a standard all by itself. And oh yes. Any guess as to which "garment" that might have been, aimed so perfectly for such a soft landing precisely on that mic stand? The heavenly bliss of live.
Yea, she has grown on me over the decades. I was smitten first by Vicki, then Susanna, now I appreciate Micki after learning more about her musical career. She been through it, dealing with divas and a lowlife manager with The Runaways, then playing for various groups, then dealing with more divas and close knit sisters in The Bangles. She says she struggled with demands and pressures of touring. With her disappearance, you wonder if she has had bi-polar issues to deal with.
Yeah, when I was a spotty teen I was all about Suzy Hoffs, but it's only after revisiting the band recently I realised how bloody gorgeous and talented Steele is.
Michael? She is laughing because the rest of the band is lip synching and not really playing. She's the only one, and that's the "Jewish smirk" I've come to know so well...

I know exactly what you all feel - I was 16 to 26 during the 80s. The 80s were a cultural phenomenon - the music and the artists were hot. We had a blast during the go-go 80s; and when we went out we went out in style. Both men and women were dressed well.
Not only where they talented, they were total babes and all of therm had stage presence. Things that many singers don't have. So glad they were a part of the soundtrack of my life
@@strawberryseason lololol that was a massive pair of underwear, he must have weighed 800lbs! Lol no way that's undies, had to have been a shirt or something
God did i have a crush on Vicki and her cute little red gogo dress with fishnets and clunky boots. Her energy running around with that giuitar - mad crush for her at 17. Shes still beautiful
This song illustrates one of the Bangles most, IMO, underappreciated strengths. Yes, Susanna became sort of the "face" of the Bangles later, but any one of them could lead a song and the others would provide perfect, harmonious backing vocals. Even though Debbie doesn't get to sing on this one, the lead going between the other three demonstrates it.
Man I miss the days when you could lean on the stage watching your favorite bands. Rock and roll has become way too structured, I would go back to the 80s in a second.
I've always loved how rocked out this performance is. Lead guitarist Vicki Peterson especially makes it that way. The Bangles' hit Simon & Garfunkel cover "Hazy Shade of Winter" is another of their great straight-ahead rock tracks that they also sound awesome doing live.
It's unfortunate that the record producer didn't like Debbi's singing and cut her role out of the song. In another video Debbi discusses how she has horrible memories of WLAE and it's the band's least favorite.
Well ... I see that 563 of us love the Bass player... well ... I made it 564 ... Michael Steel has always made my heart beat like crazy ... she's most definitely 🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍😎!
This song rocks hard. The drums... the monotone chords. The restraint, the dynamics... the mixture of melody and chaos. I reckon the Bangles listened to Sonic Youth... Always remember them as a catchy pop group. Never realized til now how much power and talent they had.
Absolutely Love Micki , Vicki is really Cool tool ( Lead Guitar ) But Micki is My Favorite - Love how she dances around, kinda like slides her feet around really smooth. Micki===> IS Awesome ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍
Daryl Hansen So true ,my Favorite Bangle is Miki the most talented of the 4 of them . Where the others are running around ,not our girl she glides across the stage like the beautiful lady she is. xx
It really doesn't matter which bits of this are mimed or prerecorded or whether some guys in the audience are there to "drool". This is a fucking masterpiece. It's a song that transcended everything and ironically is one of those tracks that feels like it has always existed in the human psyche and The Bangles just excavated it. Utterly brilliant.
The song was written entirely (lyrics and music both) by a man named Liam Sternberg. He deserves mention if we’re talking about how legendary this song is. Not to take anything away from the Bangles performance of it, but if anyone is to be credited with excavating a song that has always existed in the human psyche, it’s Liam.
I'm big Foreigner fan and Eagles..I play keyboard an piano my teacher sue Nelson still plays for the mb twins and did n stars for many years..my son is all I got..I introduce him to 80s all time..he loves it I listen to cardi b and all his favorites..but these girls rock!!!
They are still great live (even w/o Michael Steele). Saw them last year in Atlanta with my daughter and going with my wife on 8/24 in Annapolis, MD. They play a lot of their old stuff live now, like Real World. That is an awesome song. Check it out.
Never gonna happen... Females don't play musical instruments these days anymore like this, would be near impossible for 3 or 4 girls who can jam to even be friends and know each other, let alone come together and form a band or even be successful... Hell men don't even really play anymore its sad... Unfortunately its not about the music, talent, creativity or self expression...its ONLY about selling records and greedy dollar bills...
@John Smith:... yes... yes we do. If you don't like this... don't listen! If you prefer TODAYS GIRL singers (Justin beiber, Katy Perry, camilla cabello, one direction, drake, Rihanna, usher, that sort of thing) then go and listen to them. But don't click on a song/artist you don't like, put yourself through listening to their stuff you don't like, then compound your very public stupidity further, by making a twat of yourself in the comments section... that's just asking for ridicule. Still, my hopes weren't high.
PC USER no idea who they are, I just recognize the song from the credits of Jojo’s, but I do know that being really relentlessly negative is kinda annoying
Like a lot of people ,.. gotta love Micki/Michael Steele - Bass Player,.. Vicki & Debbie Peterson & Susanna Hoffs too Wish they had this Concert on DVD & CD - That would Be a BIG SELLER. Also Watch Micki Crack a BIG Smile when some guy throws a shirt to her and it ends up going right on the Mic Stand :-) Gotta Love That Split in her Skirt - Clean up to her Hip :-)
Wow, I cannot believe that this concert took place almost 30 years ago. I was a Bangles fan since their “Different Light” album came out. And I remember that the girls in my school class didn’t like the Bangles. They loved Depeche Mode and they were jealous that suddenly we boys had our own female Depeche Mode :-)) Too bad I never saw the Bangles live, cause - as we can see in these videos of Pittsburgh - they were rocking harder on stage than on record. Great performances! The managers and producers tried to make a pop group out of them - but they were a pure rock band!!!
Exactly. When you go under the surface you discover that "Eternal Flame" or "Manic Monday" kind of misrepresented the Bangles' sound. They were a guitar-based rock band!
