I prefer the studio version, because it has this cool effect of the guitar in the beginning going from one side to the other. "Be with you" is my favorite original high-energy song by The Bangles. It also reminds me of the "iCarly theme".
The Bangles were an LA area group, part of the Paisley Underground scene of the 1980s. Their classic lineup included sisters Vicki and Debbi Peterson (lead guitar and drums, respectively), Susanna Hoffs (rhythm guitar) and Michael Steele (bass). (Incidentally, Michael started HER music career with The Runaways, playing alongside Joan Jett and Lita Ford.) All four are now in their mid- to late sixties. Vicki, Debbi, and Susanna have reunited to tour from time to time, but Michael has hung up her axe for good.
This is from their “return to bangleonia” dvd from when they reunited in 2000 or 2001 after a decade hiatus. The original Simon & Garfunkel is on their Bookends album.
love Bangles-all talented and great looking as well-wish they were still together have some of their cd's like to hear you do some of their songs like walk like an Egyptian....
I've always enjoyed their version of this song. It does a great job of showcasing there harmonies and their playing abilities. I have a four song EP with four different versions including a longer version. Speaking of Eleanor Rigby you should check out Alice Coopers cover of that song.
Hey MR… Bangles are one of my faves. 3 great albums in a row… this entire concert is available, and at least one other (for some reason, Pittsburgh comes to mind) is available. One is much newer, I believe. If I can find the links, I’ll post them. Susanna is active to this day… she and Matthew Sweet released a series of albums of cover songs . They’re a good listen.
Okay. Now I'm subscribed. And I think this version of "Hazy Shade of Winter" is the one where they sing ALL the lyrics instead of cutting out one of the most cool cynical lines in the song. Just because it mentioned vodka. In the original the line that ended with " . . . remember me . . ." was followed by, "at any convenient time".
Nice reaction. I don't know how to suggest songs for you but I would like to see a reaction to Susan Tedeschi. You went to Julliard and she went to Berklee School of Music where she majored in musical composition and performance and sang in the schools choir. We all love R&R but she shows us a trained voice makes R&R even better. Everything from her is better live so Everybody Talking or Angel From Montgomery/Sugaree are two good ones.
Maggie_You are doing a terrific job with your reactions. I would love for you to react to the song “Pieces of Dreams” by Johnny Mathis. The Live version from the Tonight. Show. He was Barbra Streisand ‘s favorite singer when she was younger. She has said of him:”There are good singers; there are a small handful of truly great singers; and then there is Johnny Mathis”. He is the third best-selling artist of the past century behind Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley.This is a phenomenal performance by Johnny . A Must See !! I am sure you will enjoy it. He received two standing ovations that night. Please react to it. You will be so thrilled you did.This performance is simply outstanding and amazing !!
Thank you for your lovely comment. 🤗💖 Hope to see you on our livestream in less than 1 hour as we are doing Anne Murray reactions and many, many more: ru-vid.com41ZNlGfjjcE
You 'n' me both ... I've been living with S&G's _Bookends_ album version since 1968. The Bangles did a good job of covering, but S&G are embedded SOOOOOOOOOOO deep in my brain!
The irony of The Bangles is that their biggest hits (Walk Like an Egyptian, Eternal Flame) were their worst songs. They’re not bad, but they’re not as strong as their other songs.
Too bad this performance is soooo weak, it's like they weren't really warmed up and practiced! They were usually sharper, tighter, and stronger than this.
