I saw the Bangles open for the English Beat on an IRS tour. This was my favorite period of the band as they sounded rougher, fully capable of playing well but with an edge. I loved the show. The Beat, too. But before the show Susanna and Annette walked into the indie record store that I managed, and I was mightily impressed that they did not act as stars. Instead we talked punky 60s music, and they name checked band and tunes that I loved (Turtles 'Outside Chance' - a non-hit, Paul Revere and the Raiders, New Zealand's La De Das (!), and others. I still liked them later, especially 'Egyptian,' but they had become too slick and produced. And the first CBS album covers were pretty unappealing. But I did go see the "Doll Revolution" tour = and was a bit disappointed.

I actually host a Bangles radio show on Sunday nights, called the "BangleSunday Funday Hour". We don't only play the Bangles music, but all the bands the members were in. So Annette's Blood on the Saddle, Medicine, The Ringling Sisters. Vicki's bands, The Action Skulls, Continental Drifters, and so on. It's a total celebration of all five Bangles members over the years. The help that Annette Zilinskas and Vicki Peterson have given, including stories and music is just insane. Two of the most wonderful people I've ever met. Forget just what great musicians both of them are. If you get the chance to ever meet them, it's the coolest thing ever.

I honestly liked their sound better in the early day. I got to see them in Nashville in 1983 at a club called Cantrell's. I was 22 at the time and I had never heard of them. My best friend had heard them and got the EP. We went to all kinds of concerts together. To this day, it was still one of the best concerts I've ever seen. Certainly best club concert. Annette Zilinskas was still on bass and they were the best garage/punk band I've ever heard live. I went to see them again in 1987 when they were bigger, but the music had changed. It just wasn't the same. They had something special in the early days.

Great job on this video and story! The Bangs/Bangles really ended up having two different sounds. That pure 60's garage rock sound of the original lineup "The Bangs" and the more polished/pop sound of The Bangles with Micki. Both were great and I'm shocked this band doesn't even have a nomination of the R&R HOF yet. Their Billboard chart success was greater than the GoGo's and people didn't even know about them in the early days. There was no internet or cell phones. Such a fantastic band, made up of five key members over the years who never gave the band a black eye.

I loved all their voices but Susannah has that special timbre in her voice that just is unforgettable. They should be in the RNR HOF in my opinion.

My aunt got to see them at Cantrell's in Nashville in April of 1983, shortly after the name change. But Annette Zilinskas was still on bass and they still had that 60's rock and roll sound in those days. Something I love about the original line up. She told me that people were talking for months about how amazing they were. She said it's still one of her top 3 favorite concerts/band club shows she's ever heard. She's been to over 100 concerts. So that really says something. She said the raw garage sound they had in those days was so great, I can't explain how great they were. @@RockessentialTim

Great video. Walk Like An Egyptian has to be one of the most catchy songs ever. I was living and working in the San Francisco area at the time it came out. It was a rare moment of joy in a pretty sad time in my life. I was interested to find out the Suzanna Hoff attended the University of California in Berkeley. Although I was never a student there my parents met there and created me, so to speak. They are now long deceased. My parents were UC Berkeley students towards the end of the Second World War.

Thanks much. Like I mention in the video, I was lucky enough to see them play back in the day and have been a fan ever since.

What's not to like about a Ric 610 and a Vox Teardrop bass??? Great band and another on the list I never got to see live. Nice job, Tim!

Always wanted a Teardrop if for nothing else than to hang it on the wall. They are so cool looking!

No doubt one of the coolest guitars but my brief experience in playing a 6 string was the action was a half inch over the neck---great for an adept slide player like yourself but not so slick for a lowly strummer like me@@Cliffswanson

Hi Tim 👋, thank you for taking us inside Whiskey A GO GO and a glimpse of The Viper Room .👍 Cool! 😎. This video content reminds me of a recent documentary I saw on PBS. It was of the all girl group “Fanny” The Go Go”s had said they themselves put out 3 Ablums, and Fanny had put out 5 albums,But they made it big “.Fanny had never gotten the notoriety they deserved.🎼🎸🎤🎹🎧🏆🏅💿💽📀 Thanks Tim . 🐊

Saw the "All over the place" tour at Magic Mountain. Snuck into the Greek Theater for the Different Light tour. And was at the instore Tower Records ( Sunset ) for the premier of Doll Revolution. ( short set.) Finally, maybe 2013 (?) at the Fonda , the Paisley Underground show : all four bands played.

@@RockessentialTim , Magic Mountain was Solid. Security showed me the door after a couple songs at the Greek. Tower records show was fun, but short. The Paisley Under ground show , well.... I pregamed a bit too hard...and watched most of the show with one eye opened and marbles in my mouth as I attempted to sing along . Did meet the band after the show and had a poster signed.

Well done, Tim. I always thought of the Bangles as a much more sanitized version of the GTOs. It would have indeed been interesting to see what Frank Zappa could have done with them....

No, I believe Bandstand was filmed at ABC Television which is in Silverlake on Prospect, maybe 2 miles down the road from the Palace.
