Saw the Tubes at Celebrity Theater in Phoenix in 1974. Easily THE BEST Show I ever saw. It was a total theater experience. Fee road a Harley on Stage with Re Styles. There were school desks on stage like a classroom and they played "Don't Touch Me There." I partied hard to this music!
I saw them in late 70's ! At The Celebrity Treatre. I agree. The BEST! They gave all they had, yet they never got the "recognition" people like us know they deserve. That's also why they're so cool. Tubes ROCK!
I saw them about 10yrs. ago in a small club up front and I agree, They blew me away. Fee is such a cool guy, and hung around after the show and talked with us and signed an autograph for me . The Tubes deserve to be recognized as one of the best rock bands in the world .
One of the best series of rock riffs ever thrown together. I love the stops and starts in this song, that's what makes rock music hit and roll. Wow, the vocals are top flight on this performance. Backing vocals matter more than a lot of bands think. They really matter. This song and performance alone should get them in the HOF. This is more important than ANYTHING madumna Beyacketty ever did, that's for sure.
The Tubes! Saw them a dozen times in SF who could forget the spectacle on new years eve at Winterland long way from when they formed merging 2 bands 72? the beans and ? good times Winterland Rocks
Saw the Tubes & the Infamous Quay Lude live a number of times back in the late 70s/early 80s - great concerts every time.. Being from LA, I use to tell people that this song was the theme song for Los Angeles back then as well
I've seen them a few times over the years here in Omaha. This past July they played at a small club called Barnato. There were maybe 100-150 people at the show. My son and I had a VIP front row table about 5 feet from stage left. I was even able to stand on the stage to take video/photos. We had a pre show meet and greet, got to see them rehearse and went to the after show party. Helluva bunch of nice guys. I knew Fee (John) was born here in Omaha but left when he was 4. He told me his brother was born in North Bend Nebraska. Re had passed away just a couple of weeks prior. Prairie Prince and I stood at the bar talking about her for about 15 minutes. At one point after I was on the stage taking photos I was walking back to my seat when my shorts tore all the way down from my left rear pocket. There was nothing I could do about it so I just went with it. The guys and Fee's wife got a good laugh. Fee's wife handles the merchandise table. With our VIP tickets we were able to pick out one item for free. We got t-shirts
I was listening to this band when I was in high school. Unbelievably nice! I was the only one who listened to this music in my school in Japan. This is still the best rock band I have ever heard.
This is footage from a playback session on The Old Grey Whistle Test lipsynched to the live rendition from What Do You Want From Live, completed with more recent footage from the 80s, the last sound bit was from the debut album.
Saw them as a teenager. My brother took me. Halloween 1980 or 1981 at the Orpheum in Boston. The Completion Backward Principle tour. What a wild night.
So, the audio is from the What Do You Want From Live album, recorded in 1977 at the Hammersmith Odeon, London. I assume that this video was shot around that time, but the editor of this vid cut away when the vocals didn't match. Additionally, the tacked-on ending isn't from the WDYWFL recording.
Yes I thought there was something fishy. Well spotted! The show is the BBC's flagship rock music show, at which IIRC Rick Anderson's bass connection broke.
Ah the Rorer 714 costumes, I was turned on to the Tubes in 1973 by my sister who had just rushed USC. Seems Quay hit the spot. Jimmy page had a Rorer 714 T-shirt he used to wear. I think you had to be living and loving life in the 70s to understand the reference.
I was 19 had a broken arm and leg on the right hand side this song kept me going gavel me the energy to heal especially when my mother pinched my crutches still hopped everywhere Thank you tubes gave me energy when I needed it most
Wpod! For life... I love this man I saw them 14 times and even with security at one of their shows thank you fee prairie Prince Ray styles Bill spudnick Spooner
Why not 114 million views. I grew up in the 80's. They had bigger hits but this is one of my favorite Tubes song, sushi girl.... Never saw this live performance before. Love it.
Not only were these guys totally insane and out of control, but the song compositions were brilliant. It would be a mistake to dismiss them as all flash, this was just their first big hit. Check out the Completion Backwards Principle and Young and Rich. Amazing music.
F’n SEVENTIES OR WHAAAT? Sorry kids - you missed it ! Leaving the house at 6:45 pm and ANYTHING coukd happen. No helicopter parents, no cell phones, no 13 texts saying “are you here yet???!!” We just f’n showed up.
I so wish I could see once the entire original footage without the studio parts from their 80's video... But they still remain, for me at least, "The Number One Group In The World" !!!!
Nice to see you guys at the top of your game Rick is such a cutie.... and Sputnik too!!! 🙋🏻♀️😍😘 Need footage of you guys at the celebrity theater in Phoenix billed as the radar men from Uranus 😂😂😂
A dude named Jim used to come back n smoke pot out of a soda can while i cooked at a pizza bar he gave me a burnt cd of the Tubes id never heard of them b4 that Iljim passed away didnt know him well but just commenting in tribute to a dude i once knew who loved the Tubes
Doe's anybody know, on wich "live- album" is this live-song???? White Punk on Dope " ROX M1X" I think thie is not the same like on the album " what do you want from live album"!!!!
imho this is when they were best : 1974 - around 1983 . Great Rock, fun and satire . You gotta watch their 1975-76 New Years concert at Winterland SF . The video is crappy but the content is so entertaining . i think its still up on youtube , dunno .
I' m Evai from Israel and I love the "TUBS " THE BEST PUNK-BAND OF THE WORLD!!! WEISE SCHEISSE AUF BROT!!Für Alle de englischen Slang lernen wollen!!!😂🎉
If you deliver a solid hour of the aforementioned footage I MIGHT remove the lousy (but true) previous comments about Fee.... EXCEPT the OLD QUAY comment...that is too good 😛
The new Gens think that they are trend setters when you see them diing what has been done over 40 years ago. I fking laugh Lady Gaga as talented as she is musicaly people like her... Hold Fee 🍻
At an early KISS show in Oregon, alleged teetotaler Gene Simmons yelled at the crowd, "What do you want to drink on a hot day?" At least half of the crowd yelled "Beer!" and had to be corrected, as the band launched into "Cold Gin". Promoting things you don't buy, just because you can make a buck.
