Saw them in 1980 at the Spectrum in Philly with J. Geils Band in their classic red suits, what a show just awesome!!! Loved their music then and still love it today. So Good, I miss this generation of music so much.
I can already feel my voice blowing just watching him sing at the drums. I used to do that and it was a 23.7 percent chance I'd be able to hear myself.
Saw them in 82 at the Bacchanal night club, San Diego. Drummer stopped playing drums in the middle of a song, and he maddly threw his drums on the floor and, in an angry voice, yelled, "Why isn't anyone dancing and if you people don't dance we are not going to play anymore." Nobody danced, but they kept on playing. All the people were at the Bacchanal, that night, to see The Producers.
Vladimir this was a great concert loved the transition between what I like about you and Latin loupie Lou your buddy Hamtramck fireman and bros of Steve & mike from I C high you know who we are!!
I saw them 1981 in New Orleans. They were the opening act for the Producers. They were wild, with that wall of Hiwatt amps behind them, they blew the Producers off the stage. The Producers were a great band too, but the Romantics are just too.good live, full of aggressive energy. The Producers surely should have been the opening act. I remember the Romantics playing 'A night like this', and 'Look at her.'. Just brutally good...
saw them in Fresno, February 14th, 1981 in a club with about 150 people. fantastic. they performed "and the beat goes on" ( sonny and Cher) which I could find a copy of them doing that
Saw them open for Adam Ant in '83 if I remember the year correct, I was in college at UF. What a proper power pop new wave band. And their songs were great live too unlike alot of bands from that era. For me "One in a Million" is their best song. Love the video too, hot 80's babes, what's not to like?
I have seen a couple of people on these message boards call them a new wave band,They sure rock for a New Wave band!I just love What I like about you it is such of a positive uplifting love tune.What energy and the harmonica was great!
A big Romantics fan..they still come out to Vegas where i live almost every year! I see them every time.. great seeing this. thanks for posting from new Wave Dave
I heard he wanted to be a front man. When he left he started a band called Motor City Rockers and he did not play drums in that band. They really went no where. Saw them open for Cheap Trick in Detroit once. A few years later I saw him at a kiss concert. He sat a couple rows behind me. Motor City Rockers are on TH-cam.
THANKS for posting this! The What I Like About You portion of this performance had been posted by Back Porch Videos maybe 10 years or more ago and then got taken down. I've been looking for it periodically ever since because it's the hottest performance ever by Marinos.
No kidding? What ever happened to his gold top Les Paul? I saw them in 1981 in New Orleans. They were unreal. Coz would bend the neck of the gold top, making it sound like a whammy bar on a strat. It was wild. I tried doing it with my lp, couldn't get anywhere near what Coz did. How he didn't break it I have no idea. MAYBE he did? He was a great rock and roll guitarist.
Wow only from Detroit MI do you get this intensity,bob seger,mc5 dick Wagner anthem frost grand funck,? And the mysterioug,bill Haley and the comets, supremes,smokey!!! Aretha,,Mitch Ryder/wheelson an on an on, Michigan rocks!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😊😊😊😊😊
I remember seeing them perform in Pasadena around that time at Perkins Palace. It looks like the venue, but my memory isn't as good as it used to be. :)

This was fantastic. They played like the Beatles on Steroids. Jimmy added a great dynamic.
If only they had known that 40 years later people would still be coming across this song and playing it on repeat all day...
I'm talking about Talking in your Sleep.
..and (maybe) "One in a Million" !? 😎
Extremely C00L!!
Excellent Detroit energized group!
Detroits answer to the fab 4 🎵🎵
My absolute favorite band of all time. Just raw, basic, unpretentious fun garage band rock.

I saw em at the spectrum a year or two later. they opened for the cars. good times.
Detroit rock at its very best, I saw these guys long before they made it big. Playing lots of gigs in the Detroit area.
0:23-Rock you up
3:40-Talking in your sleep
8:09-What i like about you
12:16-Little Latin Lupe Lu
Don't get no better than any of those!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
They were just Flawless! Such an underrated band!
A great Detroit band! Very underated band.

Man, I really miss new bands like this.
I followed these guys through their albums and tours.
They were really great. LIVE doesn't lie.
Great!!
Positioning a cameraman just off to Jimmy's left was a stroke of brilliance.
They were truly never the same without Jimmy.
Vladimir this was a great concert loved the transition between what I like about you and Latin loupie Lou your buddy Hamtramck fireman and bros of Steve & mike from I C high you know who we are!!
Still one of my favorite bands!!
Saw them in Champaign, Illinois in 1980. Cleaned my clock.
Hell yeah, another great Detroit band.
Incredible group, I never get tired of Detroits Finest!
Keep on Rockin Boys, you have done well!!!! 🎶🎶
Great band with a lot of energy.

Los Romántics son power pop total, poniendoles una etiqueta actual.
Great double bill would have loved to have seen that.

Saw them in Richmond VA in 1983. Rickenbackers blaring through Marshalls. I still can’t hear.
Good to see a show with Jimmy back in the band!
yeeeh, but where's Jimmy now??
@@valeriejacquelin4332 The Romantics were never the same without Jimmy.
@@lisica8458 I agree with you
I've been going to see these guys every chance I can since 1984, ALWAYS a great show!!
Great tone and punch from the bass. A pick and an SVT are a great combination.
WOW! That bass player is killing it!
Right? So thumping for a pop band. Really kills!
Damn I miss the 80's !!!!
A big Romantics fan..they still come out to Vegas where i live almost every year! I see them every time.. great seeing this. thanks for posting from new Wave Dave
Jimmy Marinos = The Perfect Man. ayeee
Jimmy ought to have been named the Eighth Wonder of the World.
@@lisica8458 ha! good one
Nice!! They rock very well. I was just a freshman in high school.
Thanks sharing!
The Romantics exist but whatever happened to Jimmy Marinos is a story in itself.
so, what is the Jimmy story?
I heard he wanted to be a front man. When he left he started a band called Motor City Rockers and he did not play drums in that band. They really went no where. Saw them open for Cheap Trick in Detroit once. A few years later I saw him at a kiss concert. He sat a couple rows behind me. Motor City Rockers are on TH-cam.
I haven't seen this in it's entirety since it was shown on MTV in 1984- Thank you!!!
It was a good time !!!!

Great Band!!!
La raja, lamentablemente nos dejaron plantados en el Monticello, un sueño en verlos que no se va a cumplir.
Gran banda!!!
Saw them them, so fun/cool/exciting 😀👍🏻
This is right after I bought the strat from Coz in Detroit
No kidding? What ever happened to his gold top Les Paul? I saw them in 1981 in New Orleans. They were unreal. Coz would bend the neck of the gold top, making it sound like a whammy bar on a strat.

@@dean4559He went back to Miami when he left the band.
Me encanta 😍
Y yo tambien.
I was there! Haha! That is when I lived in Los Angeles
Awesome!!!
80s hair ROOLED!!!
Isn't this from the "Rock Palace" Broadcast? Still Can't believe there isn't a cleaner copy Anywhere
So Brilliant.
Thank you for Sharing.
Thanks
Jimmy Marinos 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥🥁
Where did you find this? I have been looking for this for 20 years. Their rendition of Latin Lupe Lu is what rock and roll is all about!
It's dubbed from an old betamax tape.
I love it! I taped this on my Betamax off of MTV. Still have it.
If you like this please check out the other band from Detroit.Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels their version from the 60s. They were incredible.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Where can I find the entire The Romantics: Live in Los Angeles 1983 web link?
Wow only from Detroit MI do you get this intensity,bob seger,mc5 dick Wagner anthem frost grand funck,? And the mysterioug,bill Haley and the comets, supremes,smokey!!! Aretha,,Mitch Ryder/wheelson an on an on, Michigan rocks!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😊😊😊😊😊
Playing in coffee houses now shame good band
Yo Homies dig you numbers Cuzz
Que excelente grupo, grandes canciones, ya son legendarias e inmortales, patrimonio cultural de la humanidad!
My name is Jimmy Marinos, and I have come to kick your ass. Yeah, Keith Moon, I mean you.
He also reminds me a little of Dino Danelli of The Young Rascals. All dynamos.
What was the venue?
Some viewers think maybe the Palladium in Los Angeles, I can't say for certain.
I remember seeing them perform in Pasadena around that time at Perkins Palace. It looks like the venue, but my memory isn't as good as it used to be. :)
@@candlefm this is daddys in san antonio tx
wtf happened at 7:14?
The pre digital age 🤣 some kind of tape loop issue
