- Broadcast live night only from The Center Stage Theater, W Peachtree st, Atlanta. The lineup here is Mauro Magellan on drums, Rick Richards on guitar and vocals, Dan Baird, on guitar and vocals and Dave Hewitt on bass from England! The Video Music Channel was an independent cable music service from approx 1982 to 1984, and over the air via WVEU 1984-1985. At the time, MTV had not entered the Atlanta market. The VMC was beloved locally as it was Atlanta's only source for music videos, amassing a library of over 4000 clips and a full staff of VJs and program producers. Multiple mega-selling artists visited the studios, and other interviews and concerts aired from various venues.... although now only a few tapes of these interviews survive. Many VMC video tapes had to be recorded over for reuse because the cost of broadcast tape was so high.
Dave Hewitt my favorite ATL bass player ever! Love this dudes style!
Why oh why dear Goddess can't we keep a band with both Dan Baird and Rick Richards in it? My favorite Atlanta band on Monday nights....
Are you kidding me??!!! F*cking awesome!! This is a tour de force performance! I just listened to this 5 times in a row! They obviously wanted to be on their sh*t for Dave! This takes me right back to Hedgen's, the Moonshadow, and countless other clubs where the Satellites tore the roof. Killer!!!
same here man
Dave Never said a word to Them
A real rock and roll band. Kids of the future...pay attention.
Had the absolute honor of opening for these guys in 1988 and 1990 in the late 80s in San Jose CA... great band.. and great guys...
This is gold. Crazy they had all these songs way back in 83.
"Six Years Gone" My absolute favorite Satellites song! Thanks for this!!!
Ferocious Rock and Roll....Absolutely Brilliant!!!!
Holy shit! Was it in 1983? Three years before their first album?? What a performance!
Rick sings "Six Years Gone" which came up later on their last album "Land of Salvation and Sin" - 90. I was surprised to hear it here in - 83...
Ma Boys!I had never seen this..what a jewel of a show
That’s amazing! And surprisingly, most of the songs officially released from major label had been already completed even before Georgia satellites with Rick -B
Whoa! Not seen DB dressed so smart before! And didnt realise Seriously Gone was an old Sats number. Thanks for post this is the earliest Sats footage i've seen. And Dave on bass from Huddersfield where i now reside!
This is amazing!!!
Awesome 👌 great energy
Dan looks a little like George Thorogood here...
I was thinking the exact same thing!
@@d.a.thorndike8772 Me too!!! XD
I too got that impression. . only Dan is much better looking. I'd kill for that hair.
ya this is so great thanks -friends that rock
Love it,many thanks for the upload
This is a find! Thanks for the upload.
Great - many many thanks for posting Tom.
Rock and Roll!
Holy God. This is pure gold. Thanks for sharing
Kick ass! 3 chords and a cloud of dust!
Whow - never heard and seen. But - where`s the audience? Roaring eighties......and Dan Baird held his Tele like Johnny Cash did. And they play a crispy rock`n roll version of his big hit "Get Rhythm". They dare! Halcyon times, guys!
On everyJuke box in the 80s at least on every bar I was in.
Jimmy A.(RIP)laughed are asses of every time we heard the dont tell me no lies
Makes me a Proud Atlantean ! Hometown hero’s !
And Charlie Starr of Blackberry Smoke now owns that Les Paul Jr he's playing in this.
WOW!!!
am I hearing all drums in the left channel and bass and guitar on the right channel? what kind of mix is that?
Saw them on the salvation and sin tour 87 i think! But absolutely amazing gig❤
listen to 2/22/1987 Live at the Ritz.......Then Thank me ......lol
The 1987 Show is Another great performance from the King Biscuit Flower Hour......You are exactly right...a must listen...
Damn, that's refreshing.
Good gawd, almost couldn't watch
Yeah, a long time ago, but the dude at the beginning doing the Jr High School dance announcements, doing his worst Rick Dees
My ears were bleeding
G.E.M.!!
Is there an audience? Seems not. Great performance none the less.
Didnt realize the Sats second record was a collection of old ones.
Yes, I noticed that with Sheila. Also, 6 years gone was FINALLY put on the third album, Land of Salvation and SIn. 6 years gone is on the original "keep the faith" from 85 and then left off the first two albums.
@@kevinmerinovirtualacademy1443 - Great band. Not many understand how good they were. 3 chords and a cloud of dust. And LOUD. One of the loudest bands i ever witnessed. Brutal.
tom, where can i buy this video from my favorite band before the first album awesome
luvit!
Wonder if that’s the same les Paul jr Charlie Starr ended up with. He said it was refinished at some point
Doubt it. From what I've read, Rick had a bunch of them.
Members only jacket.
Didn't VMC sponsor a "battle of the bands" type contest? I think some of the bands that competed were Illusion, Avatar, Palmer and the Push, as well as others. I could have this wrong but someone local staged a contest and if it wasn't VMC can't imagine who it would have been.
Dave Hewitt doesn't get credits on the first record, but i swear, Hands to yourself sounds like he did it. Or, Rick Price was very accurate.
He did. The LP version is actually a remix of the EP recording, with Hewitt on bass.
Thanks for getting the facts right 💯
I like the band and I love Dan's work, but it seems like there are two bands here. Rick sounds like one band and Dan another. It really didn't make a lot of sense, but Dan did put them on the map with his hit tunes.
Nonsense
Good lord, Dan's hair :o
Graham Smart LOL!
audio is crap...................
wheres the bass player?
In the center position in the stage, dressing pink pants.
Dan McNamara on stage mate keep your eyes off Dan!
That’s Dave Hewitt on bass. He played on their famous EP demo, “Keep the Faith,” that contained the version of “KYHTY” that was used for the eponymous LP. Dave was one of their countless, rotating bass players during the early club days before Rick Price came onboard. Sadly, I think Dave passed away a few years ago.
incredible Rock n roll from a shithouse era for the genre!!
