My brother turned me on to them , early 80’s, and Tom Waits, wow! The Tubes were very underrated, I’ll have to look up the original band members, other than Fee Waybill. He’s a cool cat!
I had the privilege of being a roady for these guys during the Seventies, They were great! Amazing musicianship and so very tight. It was the most incredible six months of my life. So very glad to see them still gigging. Go get em guys!
Prairie Prince-one of the best in the pocket drummers & an incredible artist! Fee Waybill was most definitely overlooked for his wonderful vocal skills. What a band The Tubes are!
It’s 20 years later. I sit in my house in small town England by the sea watching this with my jaw on the floor. What a fucking band. I mean if you’re going to make a racket, be totally in command and do it properly. In a world where making music music has become a computer game, be more Tubes.
I had a little French lady follow me back to Ontario...I was saddled with an uninvited guest :(... Oddly enough, I fell in love with her... I know another woman who's on the other end of the spectrum; one who I wish would engage more often: my wife I love this song, it's brutally honest, and I respect that :)
68 years old...what's wrong with me!! cant get the smile off my face..??? I met "Aunt Ju Ju" (julie) around the time I first heard this great tune....(Im afraid to look up the year...) just love this tune / this band.
This is one of the best songs ever written,the whole Completion Backword Principle cd is in my top 5 albums ever. Steve Lukather on Guitar on the record is class. love it !
Saw two of their shows during their Inside/Outside tour in 1983 or 84. The second show in Corvallis Oregon show I got a backstage pass and had a beer with the band. Autographed my bottle and t-shirt. Nice guys. Although Rick had a broken bass string cut him above one of his eyes during the performance. He seemed in good spirits when I interacted with him.
Yes a multi piece outfit not afraid to create quality tunage regardless of the expense and yes they did deliver. Rick Anderson. What a loss. This kind of thing is hard to accept. Vince. The girls. It's terrible
@@gothcat54 Been seeing them since '75. Roger Steen on lead Rick Anderson, bass David Medd, Keys Prairie Prince on drums!!! Oh yeah, Fee Waybill (Johnnie Bugger will pack your dirtbox! The most Tubular!
The Tubes are criminally under rated, but Fee Waybill has a vocalist is even more under rated! His voice is SHARP and still is to this day. Has not lost a stop as a vocalist IMHO.
This is the song I want played at my funeral. As the ceremony finishes and everyone is walking out, I want it cranked up so everyone hears GET OUT, I'M TELLING YOU NOW!! :P
Ha, ha, ha. I am dying now of Stage 4 Metastasizing Endometrial Cancer, 2 other Cancers & Acute Diastolic Heart Disease. I don't believe in funerals but what a killer idea!
@@RemodelingByRy Yeah i know and he was also involved with writing those songs as well and bass on Talk To Ya Later when the The Tubes bass player refused to play on the track
@@RemodelingByRy Got to jam with Prarie and gary...the "2nd guitarist" was in my dancing/blues Dylan band for a couple seasons. Ahmaaaazing musician. He lifted us up to a jaw dropping level. ❤ I just came to this vid randomly to learn the chords and didn't even think about him being on it. But yeah...they are all masters.
I agree, and that was because when their records were released they were years ahead of their time.Maybe they are not in the hall of fame but their music will be in our ears & hearts forever.
holy crap they sounded great! i'd expect them to play like that on their supporting tour just after the tune's release - it's like 20 years didn''t pass by.
@@daveg4236 Yep, just looked it up on wikipedia. Apparently it's true. He was their original drummer but just for a few months, and he quit before they made any recordings. Whodathunk?
Roger Steen & Bill Spooner on dueling lead / rhythm guitars set this one on fire; we LOVE IT !! They are Phoenix AZ. Camelback High Alums of mine...Go Spartans!!...
saw them at the coach house a few years ago, still sound great. They were way ahead of their time. I first saw them in Pasadena 30 years ago, One of the best concerts ever. Fee is awsome.
I saw them every night for a week at the Hammersmith Odeon in London and I will never be the same. The most awesome show,musicians,costumes,themes and whatever. The Tubes are a legend.
they sound great saw the tubes in '83 at the capitol theater in nj fee can still hit the high notes would love to see them again brings back the good times
The Tubes are the one of the best! I saw them live 5 times! Recorded the shows and met them after each show will never be forgotten! photos on my facebook too!
The greatest ever rock and roll band!. Great songs, musicians and fun! Saw them first in 1979 and most recently this year. Check out their current touring schedule on their web-site.Totally under-rated, probably because they were so far ahead of their time. Also, really nice guys who devote a lot of time to their fans after the shows when they're probably exhausted. Fee for president!
@@bengalindo7408 best band ever, very underrated! Saw them first in Pittsburgh 1975 and was blown away! Their live shows are absolutely hysterical at times. 1975-1981. Love the Tubes! I see them every year when they come east. Go see them! You'll have a great time and a chance to meet them after the show! Great guys with their ego in check. Reasonable ticket prices, too boot! Touring 2019 playing The Complete Backward Principal In it's entirety !!!!!
Lucky enough to work with them back in 79(?) Poole, UK. Seen them numerous times as well since then. One most entertaining bands in the world, this track probably one of the top three gave & this live track is just awesome. Thanks for sharing. Legendary I'd say.
Why are the great bands never appreciated by the masses? Saw these cats in '76, and they kept getting better every album, love Remote Control, still stands the test of time.
Richard marx has a great cover on his album Flesh and Bone. a duet with Richard and Fee Waybill. The instruments are played by Steve Lukather (who co wrote the song) Simon Phillips and Gregg Phillingaines (all 3 from TOTO)
first saw the tubes with bebop deluxe. even though the line up has changed,there are still alot of core members that make thetubes a worthwhile show to catch!! Fee,Roger,Rick and Prairie Prince and medd and cambria still keep the memory alive. Roger still swings a mean ax with alittle Hendrix too. 2016 show,i can't wait
Fee (John) Waybill is the tenth muse. He'll be cooler at age 70 than 99.9% of any 20-somethings... Tubes are the second must underrated band in existence.
I saw the Tubes in college in year 1977 and then 46 years later in year 2023. Incredible.
Long live the Tubes!
My brother turned me on to them , early 80’s, and Tom Waits, wow! The Tubes were very underrated, I’ll have to look up the original band members, other than Fee Waybill. He’s a cool cat!

We saw them twice in Santa Cruz Cal..before anyone knew who they were..besides us !! 👍👏🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Sure you did. We believe you . 🙄
Man the stories he could tell…WOW!
Prairie Prince-one of the best in the pocket drummers & an incredible artist! Fee Waybill was most definitely overlooked for his wonderful vocal skills. What a band The Tubes are!
Prairie Prince truly kills it! Pound those skins, brother! Thoughts and prayers, Beth.
One of the most under rated bands.
His performance on "What Do You Want From Life?" is just phenomenal!
It’s 20 years later. I sit in my house in small town England by the sea watching this with my jaw on the floor. What a fucking band. I mean if you’re going to make a racket, be totally in command and do it properly. In a world where making music music has become a computer game, be more Tubes.
Right on... and his voice is nailing the pitch live like the pro he is
One of the most underrated bands of all time!!! Great guitarists and musicians and stage presence!!!
It's been 6 months she hasn't shut up once!What a classic line!!
LOVE it!
Yessir! We have all been there!!
I had a little French lady follow me back to Ontario...I was saddled with an uninvited guest :(...
Oddly enough, I fell in love with her...
I know another woman who's on the other end of the spectrum; one who I wish would engage more often: my wife
I love this song, it's brutally honest, and I respect that :)
lol WORD
Fee knows...
68 years old...what's wrong with me!! cant get the smile off my face..???
I met "Aunt Ju Ju" (julie) around the time I first heard this great tune....(Im afraid to look up the year...) just love this tune / this band.
I am 41 years old and still freaking love the sound of these guys. Fee is one cool cat too.
This is one of the best songs ever written,the whole Completion Backword Principle cd is in my top 5 albums ever.
Steve Lukather on Guitar on the record is class. love it !
Those guitar solos !!! and twin harmony leads !!!!! blows my mind, in addition to all the other ways this song is awesome
The coolest singer, the coolest band, the coolest song, and the coolest video in the history of the universe!
Saw two of their shows during their Inside/Outside tour in 1983 or 84. The second show in Corvallis Oregon show I got a backstage pass and had a beer with the band. Autographed my bottle and t-shirt. Nice guys. Although Rick had a broken bass string cut him above one of his eyes during the performance. He seemed in good spirits when I interacted with him.
Another one of those fantastic bands that hardly anyone has ever heard of. Damn are they good.
Yes a multi piece outfit not afraid to create quality tunage regardless of the expense and yes they did deliver. Rick Anderson. What a loss. This kind of thing is hard to accept. Vince. The girls. It's terrible
Totally smooth performance -- I think Fee's vocal skills are underrated.
You're absolutely right there.... He has the same talent and vocal capabilities as Roger Daltrey.
Damn right. Incredible is just a start. Proud of this cut.
Such an amazing, underrated band. Their stage shows back in the 70's and 80's were legendary!
@@gothcat54 Been seeing them since '75.
Roger Steen on lead
Rick Anderson, bass
David Medd, Keys
Prairie Prince on drums!!!
Oh yeah, Fee Waybill (Johnnie Bugger will pack your dirtbox!
The most Tubular!
great song...great performance! they still play this song on classic rock stations. I always crank it up!
Fee Waybill, Always had Great Showmanship and this band rocks!
The Tubes are criminally under rated, but Fee Waybill has a vocalist is even more under rated! His voice is SHARP and still is to this day. Has not lost a stop as a vocalist IMHO.
This is the song I want played at my funeral. As the ceremony finishes and everyone is walking out, I want it cranked up so everyone hears GET OUT, I'M TELLING YOU NOW!! :P
336kgf me too great idea
Ha, ha, ha. I am dying now of Stage 4 Metastasizing Endometrial Cancer, 2 other Cancers & Acute Diastolic Heart Disease. I don't believe in funerals but what a killer idea!
My friend, the incredible Prairie Prince, killing it on drums!
@@bethleinicke6436 Jeez, that's not good 😔
Hopefully that won't be anytime soon
@@bethleinicke6436 He is awesome
Fee Waybill...a born dramatist ! Brilliant!
Still great! Had a beer with Fee during the 2004 European tour... Can't wait to see them live again!
What a underated pair of guitar player's they had...not mention Prairie Prince on durms...magic..
Steve Lukather did the solos for Talk To Ya Later and Shes A Beauty on the OG recodings. So you can thank him
@@RemodelingByRy Yeah i know and he was also involved with writing those songs as well and bass on Talk To Ya Later when the The Tubes bass player refused to play on the track
@@RemodelingByRy
Got to jam with Prarie and gary...the "2nd guitarist" was in my dancing/blues Dylan band for a couple seasons. Ahmaaaazing musician.
He lifted us up to a jaw dropping level. ❤
I just came to this vid randomly to learn the chords and didn't even think about him being on it.
But yeah...they are all masters.
OK, I've just watched this video again for the million and oneth time. ;-)
Awesome guitar work !!
I agree, and that was because when their records were released they were years ahead of their time.Maybe they are not in the hall of fame but their music will be in our ears & hearts forever.
Fee hops around like he,s got the St. Vidas Dance as my dear old Dad would say!
these guys are such great musicians.
holy crap they sounded great! i'd expect them to play like that on their supporting tour just after the tune's release - it's like 20 years didn''t pass by.
Saw them early 80s Commonwealth Stadium Edmonton. The Tubes, Peter Gabriel and DAVID BOWIE. Lets Dance Tour. GD Awesome. Hot sunny July day.
Prairie Prince. One of the best, also the original drummer for Journey
drumheadthe1st. I had no idea. I always assumed Ansley Dunbar
@@daveg4236 Yep, just looked it up on wikipedia. Apparently it's true. He was their original drummer but just for a few months, and he quit before they made any recordings. Whodathunk?
Oh, yeah, I was gonna post the same, his drumming gets me stoked.
@@charlesbeyer7041 Yep he's all of it and more....
I agree. I saw The Tubes in Seattle Wa. sometime in 1981or 82 and that show remains to this day the best live concert I ever been to.
Roger Steen & Bill Spooner on dueling lead / rhythm guitars set this one on fire; we LOVE IT !! They are Phoenix AZ. Camelback High Alums of mine...Go Spartans!!...
That’s Gary Cambra opposite Roger Steen playing guitar & not Bill Spooner. Gary plays keys as well, but not here…
@@Rich915who are the other guys (girl)
AWESOME TUNE. BRAVO, GUYS!!!
LOVE IT, LOVE PLAYIN' IT TOO!
Loved their earlier theatrical performances. Those were the days.
saw them at the coach house a few years ago, still sound great. They were way ahead of their time. I first saw them in Pasadena 30 years ago, One of the best concerts ever. Fee is awsome.
back when they put a lot of work into tuning guitars. Great job to the sound crew.
The Tube, worlds greatest rock band ever, come on, ya gotta agree!!!
I thought it was a commuter train
Radio ignored the Tubes, it's a damned shame they weren't bigger.
Prairie Prince is one of the all time greats.
agreed. he played drums on xtc's "skylarking" album.
Absolutely! And he also tours with Todd!
@@marcddailey I remember when Prairie and Todd were in the Cars some years back.
Yes Prairie good stuff solid, sure. No 0:00 frilly stuff here. Greatly appreciated.
I saw them open for Led Zeppelin in 1970 San Fransisco. Crazy show. Yeah, I'm old.
Wow. Opening for the mighty Zeppelin. This I hadn't heard of
Love this band and this song
I saw them every night for a week at the Hammersmith Odeon in London and I will never be the same. The most awesome show,musicians,costumes,themes and whatever. The Tubes are a legend.
I feel like I have been on this orb for some of the most unbelievably great bands that will ever jam!
Orb. I thought I was the only one to use this word. It does apply to the era. Everyone else was just polluted. We? We lived in an ether. An Orb.
Man... I'm impressed. I was a huge Tubes fan in the 80s, but never got to see em live, except on Night Flight (back in the day). Thanks for posting..
Yeah you have to keep you're eyes peeled for acts like this. Their usually week day jobs it seems
Belly Up Tavern, Solana Beach Ca. Awesome Show Guys!! I cherish my Zenith TV T shirt
Saw them last week in Berlin... Tomorrow in Holland... These guys still rock... HARD!
This must be enchanting. All I can do is wait til they come to California. California blah
I have to admit that I would have never guessed that of the bands from their era, these guys were going to be around all these decades later.
Well what else are you gonna do. I mean There's no life after porn! Ha!
Love, Love, Love this song!
Man they sound great. Kudos guys.
this, the best line-up EVER!
they sound great saw the tubes in '83 at the capitol theater in nj fee can still hit the high notes would love to see them again brings back the good times
Everybody in this band can sing amazing. Great players.
I need this singers energy like right now
Just great! I love this song.. killer beat and singing!
One of the Greatest bands in the world !!!!
Those who listened, knew they were hearing REAL talent. Just Fantastic.
Is it me or do Fee dance like Ed Grimley. :) Dude was in shape back in 2003
Rick Anderson. May he rest in peace. A Great loss indeed
The Tubes are the one of the best! I saw them live 5 times! Recorded the shows and met them after each show will never be forgotten! photos on my facebook too!
Honestly the BEST go get over her/him song ever!
My boyfriend went to this concert and is in the front row 😊
I want this played at my funeral as everyone is filing out. I want it cranked up as Fee is screaming the third verse.
This is real Rock & Roll, not the crap on the radio today.

Great MIX on the sound ! Incredible tone from both guitarists . Real tight band . Saw then TWICE in 2019 . I can't wait for their next show !

Thank you! This has to be the best live performance of the Tubes for the time!
FANTASTIC!!!!!
Luke was asked to write a song for The Tubes. This is the first. He wrote "Shes A Beauty" a couple years later
With a name like "Fee Waybill" ya gotta be good...
John Fee Waybill

Great 80s song from the MTV era
One of my many fav's R/J/P/G por vida
Strong vocals ! ---Xcellent music ---Ty for sharing --- Be well.
Wow, this is way better than the original video. With a little Cheap Trick riff near the end no less. 🤗
How can you not like a song by a group who's singer is named Fee Waybil?
Jason Kroop I smoked angle dust with welnick at the wiskeyagogo 3hits and he still did the job
Hahaha, hell ya
Man, what a band!
That was a total showcase right?
Love this band and this song. Brings back so many memories.
Vocals are excellent
Seriously yes
rip Vince welnick
seen them live with david bowie edmonton 2003 awesome!!
Saw this version of the Tubes a couple of times. Great shows. Gary Cambra was a great asset to the band in Spooner's absence. RIP Rick Anderson
I remember seeing these guys on SCTV. Gil Fisher the fishin' musician.
Saw them on this 2003 tour, free show in Indianapolis. It was great to see Prairie behind the drum kit. they sounded great and had a great setlist.
Excellent Performance! An underrated band, but they don’t care!
One of the bands of mi life. Had great and crazy moments with The Tubes songs.
Steve Lukather, a master songwriter.
Best Voice in Rock IMO
Man... what a classic...song & BAND ... 👍👍👍👍
I wuz there....and it wuz FUN..........!!! yup!
Greatest band ever, such talent, so underrated. Saw them 1 month ago, so much energy, brilliant!
one of the best songs ever written.
Ladies and gentlemen... Rock and Roll. 😊
not only a showband act but awesome musos
Awesome band.
Great memories! Saw the Tubes on New Years Eve 1982 in San Jose, been a fan since!
Awesome 👍 always
Best american rock band if you ask me. Favorite one, anyway.
