Michael Been's voice is in my personal "Hall of Fame" for male vocalists. This list is relatively short so Michael is in very esteem company. One of my top 80's bands ever.

One of my favorite bands from back in the day. Almost criminally under rated. Perhaps the religious undertones of the lyrics and band members held them back for whatever reason, but they were fantastic. Carried the show whether they were headlining or under card. RIP Michael Been, he was a musical genius.

The religious subtext in the lyrics was not very blatant. I think they suffered from their looks, honestly. It was the height of MTV and at that time (and since) the rock bands that hit big all had handsome/pretty/sexy male frontmen. These dudes all looked like your uncle who worked a shitty job but let you drink a beer with him at family gatherings and who had an AMAZING record collection

Lots of discussion about The Call, and that they were about to hit when grunge took over the country. I think there is some validity to that theory. They were a rock band when rock was being ignored.

Michael had an unusual cool voice, he could change in up in so many way's, this group worked very well together as you could see in the video the Walls come down. Another great group coming out of the 80's that was like a finely tuned machine in action.

I remember "walls came down" from the MTV days but I've been a big fan of the call since buying "Reconciled" in a used record store for a quarter back in the 80s. I listened to the whole of "Modern Romans" yesterday for the first time in a few years and as always when listening to the call was challenged to my core and now here I am. I love your videos and wasn't expecting to find this one here!! Awesome analysis!!

I always liked The Church and still do. They've got a unique combination of the jangly guitar and an ethereal background guitar tone with Steve Kilbey's dreamy/offhand/couldn't-care-less vocals. As you say, the guitarists are fantastic individually and together.

The first time I heard "Let the Day Begin" I was driving on the 101 Fwy in L.A. headed into the city at 7:30 a.m., commuting to work. I was so blown away, I almost had to pull over . . . there was steam coming out of my ears, I think. What a great way to let the day begin. God bless Michael Been and the rest of the band. Sad they are gone.

Fil, interesting analysis. The Call were one of my favorite bands and Michael Been's bass playing was a tremendous influence on me. I was fortunate enough to get my hands on and Ampeg Fretless Scroll Bass, such a beautiful instrument. I have seen them live many times and can assure you, they did not fake it. Michael developed a unique way of playing - fretting with his thumb, muting with the fret hand and the picking hand, playing with a pick, playing notes just by hammering on the string and while singing - all of which you can see in the live performance. I have seen this full concert years ago on MTV and have since watched this clip on RU-vid. As you noticed, there certainly do seem to be inconsistencies in what he is doing and what is being played. And I have noticed those as well. My personal feeling is that, like many live recordings that were released, there were overdubs in the studio to fix the audio. This was a live concert from The Ritz in NYC. The Call never would lip-sync a live concert. They were talented musicians who gave it their all on stage. Clearly, this video does have overdubs, but those were not done while playing.

Edit: You are correct, I commented too early, after continuing to watch, I saw him with his cuff-links. lol

Great band, with the always wonderful vocals by Michael Been, his intense songs & powerful performances. I miss them. I have all their albums including Been's solo album & his work with members of Moby Grape on a separate album. The vocal nuances that he adds are something you don't often hear in the way today's vocalists sing. The Call had instrumental additions on some albums by the actor Harry Dean Stanton & The Band's Garth Hudson.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! FiLLLLLLL! I love you SOOO much!!!! The Call is one of my FAVORITE bands! Oh my golly gosh!!!!! Woooo! Michael Been makes me go crazy! I have always been in love with him. Everything about him is just phenomenal. His intense writing, his powerful singing, his fabulous,unique style of bass playing. All of those messages he puts in his songs have had such impact and influence. I am a Christian with a strong faith. And I know that The Call didn't want to be very public that they were a Christian Alternative band in the beginning. But it's pretty obvious if you listen to the lyrics closely and you know some bible verses. Michael Been died way too young. It makes me very sad. Because I think about all of the grand, brilliant music that he could have gone on to write for us. At least he left a musician son behind. And for the people who don't know, when Michael's son Robert was a little boy, he was in The Call's video "The Walls Came Down" as was Michael's Father-in-Law.😊👍 Thank you Fil.

You are right that the bass track and drums weren’t always synced up to the video, I think this bass was over dubbed for the video, I think the video editing was just off on the drums. I have seen them play numerous times in the 80’s and 90’s. In all those instances everything was live, warts and all. Michael’s voice and bass playing were intense for sure. Sometimes he would punch the heck out of that bass. One time his pulling on the strings with his right hand was strong enough to break a string. That is really saying something on a fretless instrument. He played and sang with a passion that’s greatly missed.

There are better cuts/versions of the song (I went and listened to a couple.) I realize the request was to explain the odd strumming/bass technique. Does this song sound like the 80's or is it the feel of the 80's that fits this song? In any case the song says "80's" all over it. Michael was only 60 when he died of a "heart attack". I do wonder if he noticed any heart issues earlier in his life? Oddly Michael was previously in a band named "Aorta" (I went and looked at his "Wiki" page.) Thanks Fil.

I could be wrong… but it appears Michael keeps adjusting the volume knob on his bass. That would be an instinctive thing when you are playing and can’t hear anything or you lost signal (at least for me). If he’s at a low volume or no signal at all to allow the pre recorded backing track to play… I feel it would be sheer instinct to grab the volume knob out of habit an instinct to turn up! He was great… it was a crime whoever was in control of that performance to have a backing track!

I've got one of their singles. However, I can't remember the name of the song. I haven't played my vinyl for ages I'm always on RU-vid, 😆. They sound good live. (The record I have goes "these are the days ...", I will look it up on RU-vid). Just looked it up and the song I have is 'Let the Day begin'.

This sounds a lot more new wave than they look.

The Call were a fantastic band that never hit it big. They had some great supporters behind them like Peter Gabriel, Simple Minds, The Band, and U2. I think one thing that kept them back was their image (or lack of one.)

Great band. Curious about the non-live bass and snare though, especially since they were doing a live performance. Or at least they made the video look live...we never saw any shots of the audience although we heard them cheering at the beginning.

The classic 80s snare sound was created by Phil Collins and is referred to as gated reverb. It's just reverb with a noise gate. I'm not familiar with the noise aspect mentioned, though I'm not a drummer or a sound engineer

I distinctly remember the Lost Boys and this song in it but completely missed this band. Have you ever reviewed Ricky Wilson of the B52s? I think you'd dig his sound.

@@wingsofpegasus I really dig his tone, and sometimes with 4 strings. Unique, to say the least.
