I always thought this band was stunningly good. One night after one of their performances, I accidentally ran into Dale Bozzio. I got a chance to talk to her for a while. I found her to be a highly intelligent, super nice woman. She did not have to talk to me for so long, but she did anyway and she had wonderful vibrations. Because it was an accidental meeting, I had nothing for her to sign after the show and she knew it. So she signed my T-shirt that I was wearing. She wrote: "Thank You for Being Such a Great Fan, Love Dale Bozzio". When I got home I immediately placed the T-shirt on my living room wall and I never wore it again. She is a kind woman and so talented. I will never forget that.
Watch her in concert now! She's definitely different! Was so pissed off and threw her microphone and stormed off the stage at the LA County Fair in Pomona in 2019! Still a good performance! Ive always loved her and Missing Persons!!
This has to be one of the most underrated bands of the 1980s. They are capable of embracing different styles of music on one single album still sound good.
Patrick O'Hearn what a unbelievably underrated and hardly ever mentioned bass player as the line in this song and his playing speaks for itself to me thank you for the posting
@@davidmoser7849 Glad to hear Patrick doing well and its O'Hearn....w/ an "O'".....MP comes in for a landing on this one and Patrick propels this tune w/ an amazing bass line.....all the best to this atmospheric band
Love Missing Persons. Super talented band. Listen to the bassline in: "I can think about dancing" - this band was raw-talent. Patrick O'hearn solo album ( Between two worlds 1986 ) also fantastic for yoga, meditation & mental decompression - very ethereal.
Everything about “Give” was beyond beyond. Ohearns bassline rivals anything The Gap Band or Chic ever laid down, Curcurillos rhythm groove is more like a lead and Bozzios percussions stands out as a work in itself unmatched.
This is so futuristic- Dale’s outfit, Warren’s double neck guitar which is connected, Terry’s drums. Missing Persons shows us a future like n o group can give us a glimpse of the future even after 1984
This band was a Zappa plot to take over the world! Zappa trained, incredible instrumentalists that set a high analog bar for pop that will never be exceeded....PERIOD
This is so 80's I fricken love it. Sure, music that's kinda timeless in sound is great, but sometimes you just need all out 80's music. For some reason, there was something genuine about a time full of makeup & synthesizers.
Absolutely RIGHT! As a die hard 80s fan who was brought up during that time, I very much agree that is this is the kind of song which is very much pure 80s. You just can't fricking beat the 80s music, no way! The 80s music is the original framework for all the good pop and rock music. No way contemporary music can any way come to close to the 80s....
@@MK-gx3km I agree and will do you one better. The best year for music in the 80's was 1983. We got everything leading up to the pinnacle and there was more music and varieties of experimentation right before and right after that year. There were so many albums and artist that brought out stuff in that year or right near it. Some of the greatest stuff was then. We got the groups from the late 70's that peaked then and it was all new stuff and a lot of experimentation with synth and computers and all kinds of new concepts. Punk and Metal and everything but Disco was coming into it's own. By the way I HATED Disco. I was into all other music but disco and country.
@@dananderson4558 I agree! The cost of putting out a record today is not even pennies on the dollar of what it used to cost back then, even when adjusted for inflation. The technology available today makes it all easily accessible and brain dead easy! One question though... Why don't we have, at the very least, the same quantity and quality of the music we had then? Society has become less creative in general. Just look at all the interesting clothing, sounds and musical instruments packed in this one video. What the hell happened? I talk to a lot of young folks and they're really dull. Our generation had a lot more character. Is it the water? Vaccines? iTunes? MTV? Where did we go wrong?
@@dananderson4558 totally. There was something really special about 1983. I remember being in that time and witnessing so much great music coming out. MTV was at its peak, the radio had nothing but hits pumping out...It was so damn exciting to me as a 12 year old!
the most gifted and natural female vocalist from USA....young lady had a style all her own..timeless. up there with Lene Lovich and Siouxsie Sioux. Ahhh the 80s. so much energy and Awesome music.
So many New Wave bands listened to on my Walkman, but MP brought the genre up to a completely higher level. A perfect compliment of VERY talented musicians/artists. Like those who commented prior to me, I srill listen to all of their music and feel they were THE band of New Wave...thank you MP and other fans.
When I was a young teen I saw the Missing Persons videos in the MTV video rotation and liked them, but I didn't really appreciate their greatness. They are the epitome of the 80's. Just fantastic stuff. I tell people now who don't know MP to check them out.
The 80's was just straight up one of the best decades ever and this video is good example of how colorful, creative and cutting edge the time was back then for music, make up, hair and fashion. Totally cool if you were a teenager and a younger adult growing up in this era glad l got to experience the 80's as both.
I had their first album on vinyl........an amazing band all the way around.......they created some of the best music I have ever heard......and it is still good.
Back in 1985 I was moving back to Arkansas from KS and I decided to make a right turn in ok city and drive to the west coast!, I listen to this cassette there and back! Wonderful talented musicians on this album...and the next! Love MP!!
These past 10 yrs I never realized how much I sung "when no one listens, there's no use talking at all" whenever my buddies Granddaughter didn't pay attention . She's now 11yrs & sung it to the neighbor today because they weren't listening to her. I still have S.S.M.. LP I bought in 1982 at K-Mart $6.00, then 1991 the cassette, and 1998 the CD remix with the Motels on 1/2. Now I'm streaming on TH-cam. Kiddo's singing along. She can also sing Hungry like a wolf..
Dale Bozzio is a Absolute ICON"" no one will ever be like her again!! She and husband Terry Bozzio recorded and toured with Frank Zappa for years along with Steve Vai played guitar in Zappa's Band along with Dale and Terry"" Dale was a Vitale member to Zappa she sang on number of his Albums " Joe's Garage " is a masterpiece and Dale is incredible on it!!!!
This band was Supremely Talented. Terry Bozzio is a Monster on Drums (listen to the track's Tears, or U.S.Drag among many others). I saw them perform Live in NYC = Show was Epic. Dale came out in See-Thru Plastic Bubbles-outfit. I was 3rd row dead center. Rumor has it- Prince (R.I.P.) was listening to Missing Persons heavily before he passed. Talent recognizes/appreciates Talent.
Out of Missing Persons entire discography, this is their most artistic track. Every time I hear the interlude (Warren's guitar riff), it reminds me of "Sunday Bloody Sunday" by U2 (1983).
The Missing Persons sound endures and is as timeless as ever - way better than the bands of today - and thanks to KROQ Pasadena Los Angeles for introducing us to this great band.
Interesting that you credit KROQ, it actually was Dale herself who petitioned them to play MP music because KROQ refused to play MP for a long time according to Dale, KROQ said that MP was not the direction the station wanted to go in.
Yes! KROQ was a huge influence on me. I still give thanks for it being the station that I listened to as a little girl. I'm still a New Wave kid at heart ❤️
Still one of the best music video themes I have ever viewed. I watched this MP premiere on MTV as a five year old in the 1980's and it's always been impactful on my creativity. Thank you Dale and Terry for et. al for the great scene then and now!
First off, the guitar is in a league of it's own. I also wish a drum set like that could still be available today. However, this was during the glam 80's...
Kayleah H. Madison or does anyone else know the brand of e-drums Terry Bozzio is playing, or were they created just for the viddy? Warren and Terry most likely had first dibs on prototype instruments back in those days that had that futuristic design that you don't see any other musician playing...
not sure about the drum pads, but I think the sound source of the drums was made by JL Cooper. I have the JLCooper Sound Chest II (video on my channel) and someone commented that a prototype was built for Terry Bozzio.
AGAIN ,BOYS and GIRLS ,there's some GENIUS MASTERPIECE in music history and THIS ONE is A PERFECT CHOICE to show it. MISSING PERSONS at the TOP...FOREVER !
The Upper Points of Dales Lips do not match! And the black eyebrows were a little extreme, yet she was still one of the most 'original' looking stars of the era.
Any instrument in this video would be like collector pieces man ...that guitar and those air cymbals bozzio is playing on.80's phenomenon often imitated yet never to be duplicated...where a man could be as flamboyant as he wanted to be and still get all the girls gotta love the enigma behind it and the millions MTV made off of it.
Got to see them on this Tour in my State 3 nights in a row since they had 3 dates in my state & at the 3rd Show they gave the 4 of us that saw them at all 3 shows back stage passes Truly was a Day to remember Warren has always been a Guitar Idol of Mine, Dale was Very Kind & Terry was super Cool. I was 17yrs Old Was a lifetime ago now
MP was the sum of a ton of skill and talent. Dale was and is brilliant. The cute stuff is irrelevant. Warren is one of my all-time favorite guitar players. I love every release. I have said this before - when Words hit MTV, it shut the entire scene up. Missing Persons is in my absolute top list of favorite bands, and I have a studied and working musical background that goes way back. "Frankly speaking" (Zappa Lighter Ad)
When the going gets tough, you’ve got to give a little bit more. Fabulous we need to be more like that in the world. Thank you. Dale Bozzio and Missing Persons!
This video was so far ahead of it's Time...as is missing persons...and dale blazed a path for other women to follow...she is and always will be the original gaga..i bet dale is proud of lady gaga..?? After all jus looking at Gaga.you definitely see dale all the way....the influence is right there for all to see....much 💘 to you angelic dale
MP was absolutely the best ever when they first appeared, saw them very up close and personal when they performed in Berkeley. Dale was outrageously spectacular, all the musicians were A+, as good as it gets. By the time Rhyme & Reason came out though, you could sort of tell Dale was slipping, aging fast . . . something was happening to her. The rest of the band was delivering their usual uber-precision spot on professional best, even though the style was markedly different from their signature content. It was obvious the original MP was already fading away . . . but it was a fantastic moment while they lasted.
+Charles Ostman What do you think was happening to Dale? We she and Terry married and then not? Or had she just written herself out in an otherwise inorganic environment.
J.E. Dyche Reading about Mick Taylor of the Rolling Stones, too. Missing Persons would have a difficult time sustaining commercial success as they were so brainy and outside of the mainstream, in addition to other thing, real struggle. It is bearable when you are 20 years of age, less so at 30, impossible at 40. So few in US pop have long term careers, replaced by the next bunch who now have turned lewd and aggressive.
+Charles Ostman I agree with what you say but i feel that Rhyme & Reason was there swan song. Its a perfect post new wave album that mixes jazz fusion with pop rock, just listen to Patricks bass lines and the drumming omg amazing. I don't think they could of did better then this album. And sadly they just imploded terry and Dalke broke up drugs got in disinterest fighting the stories seems to paint a horrible pic of the last few years and that last album, oh man, its unlistenable. I just think Rand R is there truly last album. After that it was a mess.
Thanks EMI for putting up all of the Missing Persons videos in such great quality. I appreciate you getting with the program and giving us fans what we want. Now if you could dig in the vaults a bit more and post up some of their live videos we would appreciate it!
The drummer, Terry Bozzio was so ahead of his time. Both figuratively and literally. The bass player Patrick O'Hearn was also incredible...he would later take up synths and do some great new age soundtrack type stuff. Look for The Private Music of Patrick O'Hearn, released in '92...it's great. Very Tangerine Dream ish. And Dale Bozzio...what can be said...she was also way ahead of her time. Saw them a bunch in the 80's.
......I love this track, the album was really good too. This is the first time I've seen the video; Dales makeup artist did a really good job in my opinion!! I'll have to run out & get this nextime i order music.....💋💋💋
Terry's Electric drum set is way cool ! Warren's guitar! Same deal ! Patrick's bass playing superb ! Great sounds from very talented people! Even the make up is cool ! Missing Persons were well ahead of the curve in the early eightes.
Thanks for posting -I had it on a bunch of my 80s mix tapes & have been looking for it ever since. I always liked the guitar solo right at the start. Missing Persons: A band that never got proper credit.
I’ve been saying that for years. Along with the fact that Gaga and Stefani got their inspiration from Dale. I’m glad I’m not the only who feels this way about Missing Persons. My favorite band since I was 5.
Anyone else jamming to this album on cassette in your car? - yes...I still have the original stereo cassette/radio player in my 88 Honda Accord :) - I guess its one of the benefits of not converting over to a cd player.....some cassettes still sound pretty good. Or am I too old school? :)
Incredible. Of my old [cassette] players, only two still work, the best one being a Kenwood from '99. The versatility of that medium has never been matched; you could record off any other medium, edit, fade, whatever. I have one collection of 100 new age tapes -- music you'll not find anywhere now. One disadvantage is that even the best Chromium Oxide tapes will fail within 40 or 50 years, and i have vinyl that is older than that! You're choice of cars is even more impressive; few cars will go as long/far as a Honda Accord. You'll not replace it in the 21st Century for even 10x as much. . .
Have been playing a lot of their music lately. It's so refreshing to know the music has stood up well after all these years. It could easily work today if they were a new band on the scene. Glad they came along when I was 20.
How did i miss this group from the 80's, never heard of them before tonight ,Well done Dale great stuff.loved it, I've been a 80's critic for many yes and can't believe I've not come across this group.x
This is really a hip jazz funk tune
It’s called new wave music!
Always love the bass runs in this song
Good call. O'Hearn always did awesome bass lines.
Patrick O'hearn has outstanding solo albums as well... 🖤🎼🎵🎶
Great bass line

Dale's makeup was so cool, she was decades before her time. She was a total freak for that era...
I remember seeing the MTV world premiere of “Give” back in 1984. Although it wasn’t a radio hit, it’s still a great song, especially the bass line.
"Missing Persons" The Best New Wave Band.
I was still a child, but I LOVED Dale Bozzio. I though she looked like some sort of gorgeous alien angel ! ❤ Like a true new wave goddess!😍

***** Ha! Well, that track is still somewhere deep inside my subconscious bassmind, one of those that warped me for good.
Sounds a lot like the bass runs from Heaven 17 - Penthouse and Pavement that came out in '81.Awesome bass tracks both.

Gotta agree...Nothing better than a bass driven tune!
John Taylor for example...

The great Patrick O'Hearn. He had a really cool solo career post-Missing Persons. Music is very different than this, but really good in my opinion.
The bass was bumping
Missing person had some seriously good musicians... Terry Bozio, Patrick, and Warren Cuccirillo... Real talent.
@bassmanjoe yep.. zappA
What a voice of Mrs. Bozzio. Step aside imitacions. And Mr. Terry Bozzio as genius as he was besides the members of UK. Thanks.

This is so badass!I was in my early teens when this came out and it still works for me.
This band was so good and Dale was ripped off by everyone! She was an original!
Gwen Stefani.
Cyndi Lauper, Gwen Stefani, Pink, Lady Gaga. Who else? Man, they really wanted to be her!
Yes. This band was so damn good. Dale is the Queen or Marie Antoinette of New Wave / Oldwave music. (Madonna was not NewWave)
MP was absolutely the best ever when they first appeared, saw them very up close and personal when they performed in Berkeley. Dale was outrageously spectacular, all the musicians were A+, as good as it gets. By the time Rhyme & Reason came out though, you could sort of tell Dale was slipping, aging fast . . . something was happening to her. The rest of the band was delivering their usual uber-precision spot on professional best, even though the style was markedly different from their signature content. It was obvious the original MP was already fading away . . . but it was a fantastic moment while they lasted.
+Charles Ostman What do you think was happening to Dale? We she and Terry married and then not? Or had she just written herself out in an otherwise inorganic environment.
+Snoo Lee There were some substance things going on. The bane of the business.

Reading about Mick Taylor of the Rolling Stones, too. Missing Persons would have a difficult time sustaining commercial success as they were so brainy and outside of the mainstream, in addition to other thing, real struggle. It is bearable when you are 20 years of age, less so at 30, impossible at 40. So few in US pop have long term careers, replaced by the next bunch who now have turned lewd and aggressive.
+Charles Ostman I agree with what you say but i feel that Rhyme & Reason was there swan song. Its a perfect post new wave album that mixes jazz fusion with pop rock, just listen to Patricks bass lines and the drumming omg amazing. I don't think they could of did better then this album. And sadly they just imploded terry and Dalke broke up drugs got in disinterest fighting the stories seems to paint a horrible pic of the last few years and that last album, oh man, its unlistenable. I just think Rand R is there truly last album. After that it was a mess.
+Charles Ostman she looks like a crazy old lounge singer in this video
This band is my all time favorite. Brings back many good memories of the music of the 80's.
Thanks EMI for putting up all of the Missing Persons videos in such great quality. I appreciate you getting with the program and giving us fans what we want. Now if you could dig in the vaults a bit more and post up some of their live videos we would appreciate it!
Chuck Wilde is probably the most underrated keyboard player out there. Him and Richard Barbieri from Japan.
The drummer, Terry Bozzio was so ahead of his time. Both figuratively and literally.
The bass player Patrick O'Hearn was also incredible...he would later take up synths and do some great new age soundtrack type stuff.
Look for The Private Music of Patrick O'Hearn, released in '92...it's great. Very Tangerine Dream ish.
And Dale Bozzio...what can be said...she was also way ahead of her time. Saw them a bunch in the 80's.
80's Is Amazing & Magic 📺
That fill Terry does on the fadeout...brutal.
......I love this track, the album was really good too. This is the first time I've seen the video; Dales makeup artist did a really good job in my opinion!! I'll have to run out & get this nextime i order music.....💋💋💋
Terry's Electric drum set is way cool ! Warren's guitar! Same deal ! Patrick's bass playing superb ! Great sounds from very talented people! Even the make up is cool ! Missing Persons were well ahead of the curve in the early eightes.
Thanks for posting -I had it on a bunch of my 80s mix tapes & have been looking for it ever since. I always liked the guitar solo right at the start. Missing Persons: A band that never got proper credit.
The new wave band that graduated from the Zappa School of Rock. And it shows - crazy looks and tight talent.
Yet another 80s song that feels like it should be music for NOW.
I’m sure Paramore and Lady Gaga admired this group.
And especially Gwen Stefani
One of my very favorite MP songs ever! They were so original and fantastic live! I miss MP! Dale Bozzio was awesome!
I don’t know why no one did a reaction video for this music video!
Underrated and amazing song.
I’ve been saying that for years. Along with the fact that Gaga and Stefani got their inspiration from Dale. I’m glad I’m not the only who feels this way about Missing Persons. My favorite band since I was 5.
Anyone else jamming to this album on cassette in your car? - yes...I still have the original stereo cassette/radio player in my 88 Honda Accord :) - I guess its one of the benefits of not converting over to a cd player.....some cassettes still sound pretty good. Or am I too old school? :)
Give Again yeah still rocking this
jammin on Give Again
i suggest u all view this via cardboard!!!
Incredible. Of my old [cassette] players, only two still work, the best one being a Kenwood from '99. The versatility of that medium has never been matched; you could record off any other medium, edit, fade, whatever. I have one collection of 100 new age tapes -- music you'll not find anywhere now. One disadvantage is that even the best Chromium Oxide tapes will fail within 40 or 50 years, and i have vinyl that is older than that!
You're choice of cars is even more impressive; few cars will go as long/far as a Honda Accord. You'll not replace it in the 21st Century for even 10x as much. . .
As 80s at it gets! Great band
Out of this world still timeless
💜🌸💜
Deep spiritual and intellectual philosophy set to an awesome music, just brilliant.
Have been playing a lot of their music lately. It's so refreshing to know the music has stood up well after all these years. It could easily work today if they were a new band on the scene. Glad they came along when I was 20.
How did i miss this group from the 80's, never heard of them before tonight ,Well done Dale great stuff.loved it, I've been a 80's critic for many yes and can't believe I've not come across this group.x
Awesome stuff - saw it on itunes too! Would prefer a proper DVD when possible, but it's just GREAT to have any availability. Thank you much!!
I love that song and I never heard it before now. thank you
Saw this tour live in Ann Arbor Michigan a long ass time ago. Terry's self designed electronic kit was amazing.
I ran out and bought MP first album when I heard it, and every one after that....a great 80's band.
When you're looking for an answer and nothing seems to fit, Don't Give Up...
this is my band for life I grew up on them cool
+Roy Thomas me too :)
My all time favorite from them. I was amazed by the guitar that looked like one of my electric race tracks, haha!
i always liked Dale's outfits .they are really out of this world
