I saw them Live only once at the Capital Theater in Passaic NJ in the late 70's and I already had their first two albums! I was a emidiate fan, the first time and I'm now 78 years old and I still Love Them To Death!
Saw them 1975 at Hasty Pudding ,Harvard University,Cambridge Ma.fucking legendary.My uncle was a Cambridge firefighter,on scene, got sucked into show,gave Quay his ludes(Canada Mints really) then helped put out stage fire.All time forever nite,beyond belief…God blesss these guys that was special….the greatest show ever!!!
Graduated high school in 79, these songs were all anthems ! Listened to them all nightly in the Bay Area on KOME 98.5 with Dennis Erectis. Great times.
I took my youngest son to a Tubes show when he was 13/14 around 10 years ago in Oshkosh, WI. and he was totally blown away! Other than Re, Vince and Bill, this was the band. They did 2.5 hours and just fucking killed it!!!!! One of the best bands EVER!
The Tubes music/videos will live in our hearts & ears forever, i took my then gf to the San Jose Center for the Perfoming Arts in 1976 for Young & Rich tour, with everything that is great about them, stage props, costumes & HD motorcycles, even with all the radio hit singles, they were screwed by the record companies..
23:50 "only the strong survive" , Bill Spooner (with the flying V guitar) really plays some amazing leads during this song . Spooner and Steen were one of the greatest two lead guitar duo ever !
they still are! I just saw them at the Rose in Pasadena, Ca. March 2017 they are still a simply amazing rock show of epic proportions! Fee is still the same wild frontman that he always was; Prairie and Rick are one of the tightest rhythm sections ever and Roger was brilliant as ever on guitar and vocals.
Prairie is one of the greatest, most underrated drummers in all of rock. He's a musical chameleon, and can move from Jazz to Surf to Punk and back to Prog, maybe even in the same song. The Tubes indeed still rock. But my heart belongs to the original line up here - with Spooner, Michael Cotton and the late, great Vince Welnick. They deserved better in R&R history.
THE BEST LIVE BAND EVER!!! WPOD was my senior HS quote in 1980!! Fee - greatest frontman Bill - 2nd greatest Flying V player (Michael Schenker takes the cake!) Roger - leads forever Rick - bassist with the bassiest bass! Prairie Prince - greatest whatever beat drummer Vince - alien keyboardest Michael - synthy expertist quirkiest Re - sexy sexy to the core!! The Band sends you to outer space again and again and...5x shooting the stars!!!
again and again I'm 18 again. fuck these where good fucking high times!! 68 fast back lsd on the tongue, and my long legged skinny blond... damn we lived!!
The Tubes bring to life what has long died in the world! Nobody wants to recognize the deep tragedy of this society, the Tubes have brought everything to the point.
Saw them on this tour in Pittsburgh. If they had played "Prime Time" this would have been the perfect show. Love The Tubes. "Remote Control" is my favorite album.
Remote control, my favorite work of theirs, the concept is up my alley. This footage is gold and I understand the arrangement of the songs. Gold mine this footage is.
I hitchhiked to the bay area from the east coast back in the day . didn't like san fran that much . i finally found out what it was like to be a female back in 1975 with all the gay guys trying to hit on me and whistling at me . I was only 17 yrs old guy. but i loved berkeley . stayed at the berkeley ymca for about 2 bucks a night . one memory of hanging out in front of berkeley u. campus on telegraph ave : this jesus freak with a loud speaker preaching , student walks by gives him the finger, somebody starts playing a guitar , ppl started dancing, more ppl congregate, somebody giving out free falafels , then the "berkeley bear"(this fat blonde haired guy) starts giving a speech that the only way to be saved is to sin until you end up in the gutter of debauchery , then this other person shoves him aside and starts ranting about something else, and another person, and so on . we used to call this a spontaneous happening.
I love the way that, whoever edited this, never fails to linger on the wrong guitarist/keyboardist when they are taking a solo or playing a major motif. That takes some skill!
lol , back then they just did the live show on one video tape recorder , no editing possible. . although an expensive video taping would have a recorder for every camera and yes you could edit those post live performance . I freelanced a bit as a video camera operator but mostly did still photography work starting in the early 1980's i think there is only 2 b&w video tape cameras here . It was all in the live director's hands . He had two monitors and had to choose one or the other live camera to be recorded forever . If just working with one tape recorder even the montages and fades were done live by the director . He is usually in a room or van near but out of the concert area .
One of my first shows the week I moved to San Francisco from the east coast for school at Berkeley in 1979. Amazing. Don't forget that the Motels, who were great, opened. Jerry Garcia played killer show at SF "Temple Beautiful" two weeks before (that was like my second day in town). Decided I liked the Bay Area 🙂Haven't been back in a while but it was happening in 1979 for sure.
no words to describe . whole concert was greatest . just a little kudo to Roger Steen, i usually favor sputnk . 57:57 Steen was so good second half of world tour my head ripped off to heaven and my body went to hell !
THE TUBES !!!!! Fantástica Banda ! Gosto demais. Sou muito fã !!! O melhor álbum que já escutei é desta banda : "What do you want from Live". Absolutamente fantástico, incrível !!!!
Hi Fee, Bill, Michelle, Praire, Vince. You folks rocked Colorado! I'll never forget partying on the bus. Bill told me. I'm just like you. Putting my pants on the same way! LOL Hope you all are well! 2020 is going to be the best yet!
Stand Up and Shout really begins at 1:07:22 . Bill Spooner plays some kick ass opening chord progressions . This song is the essence of rock (with some country blues rock slides in it and the piano gives us some of the rock n roll of the 50's era)
they always put on a hell of a show,and this close to punk you can git and still call it rock..i was at this show and forgot till now the motels were there...what a great time to be living,we saw it all...BRING BACK DAY ON THE GREEN
When I first heard Remote Control I thought Todd Rundgren had left too many fingerprints on it, but after a few listens, i love all of their 70s albums with all of my heart ❤️
I like the instrumental medley they play in the intro . It has bits and pieces of some of their songs throughout the concert . duh me . that is what an overture is
Tubes were a local band playing the bars in my town. Saw them open for Led Zepplin Houses of the Holy tour>. Kezar stadium San Francisco 1975. My friend plays keyboards for them now.
1:02:38 "thank heaven for little girls " from a song that French actor/singer Maurice Chavalier sang in the 1940's and 1950's , song same as chorus line "thank heaven for little girls
47:42 famous line from the movie "Network" 1975 , crazy tv anchor having an epiphany says to tv viewers " get up from your chair and stop watching your tv , scream out the window, your door, I'M MAD AS HELL AND NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE !!! " if memory serves , he was played by actor Peter Finch . Actor Finch dropped dead of a heart attack just after movie was finished . I don't think he ever saw the complete movie......
Peter Finch's tour de force performance won him the OSCAR in 1975 for best Supporting Actor. Very well deserved but, sadly received posthumously. Bill Holden and Fay-Da-Way (as my Bro-in-law referred to her) Fay Dunaway were actors at a level that we rarely, if ever, see these days! (2023.)
i got one of tubes lp's way back in liverpool the record shop was" probe records" famous shop in button st an the guy who served me was "pete burns" the band "dead or alive" an you no what he said to me "you've got good taste"
I was going to and watch them tonight( Sunday 5 November 2017) in Bristol but will now content myself with this great concert. In their PRIME and not the bunch of slightly dodgy elderly gentlemen they have unfortunately degenerated into.
Your loss. Saw them last night in Reading and they were fabulous. Still kickin' ass on stage and after the show devoting time to meet and greet their rabid fans. Fair play to 'em.
Yep as David Crawford Smith above me says it..your loss. I saw them for the first time in 19 years on Nov 17th in Norwich & they were absolutely epic! a 2 hour show that literally has become in my top 5 gigs of my life! Roger & Prairie are total legends & Fee has lost none of his ability as a fantastic front man!
Pretty sure I was at this show. Kept all my stubs but some GA shows kept the entire ticket. Anyone remember who opened? I think it was the Ramones and maybe SVT, which would actually be the same bill that played Winterland a couple years earlier.
They put on a great show. This wasn't one of them, but I saw plenty that were. I don't know if this was at the end of a tour ... or the beginning ... or what. It was just an off night for the ensemble. Still a lot of fun to watch - but when you've seen them firing on all cylinders, it pales by comparison. On a possibly related note - wasn't this near the time that Foster and Lukather were brought in to produce their next album? I believe that produced a LOT of tension in the band, but would be interested to know more about that (or to learn that I'm wrong). I know I'd have trouble stomaching a producer and lead singer bringing in another guitarist to write songs and play lead on some of them (ouch - Steen and Spooner are pretty awesome). Having said that - Lukather's playing blended with the style of the band pretty well, even if they (likely) weren't happy about it.
Do you have any of the Tubes concerts in color 1977 or 78 doing the Remote Control tour, Where there is all the theatrics of him singing inside of a television set. I saw a live at the Palladium in New York when the album first came out, it was wild, third row upfront.
FANTASTIC!!! Hey, does anyone know why these Winterland shows exist? Was Graham shooting this video for his own archives or was this footage used on screens during the show?
White Punks on dope!!! I was a punk before you were a punk! was directed to the England punk bands? Either way they are better than any punk and still very punk and very rock and roll and even hard progressive with great melodies.
Come on, Outside Inside & The Completion Backward Principle were both good albums, Love Bomb wasn't that good, but it had it's moments. Around the same time Fee Waybil put out a solo album, 'Read My Lips' that I thought was a great album!
I felt the exact same way. When the female back up singers left (one way or another) the entire vibe changed. At that point I felt that's when they lost their magic!!! Listen to "Prime Time" and that was a sound that they NEVER got back...Pitty. They gave The Tubes their "Magnetic Sensuality."
37:53 female "contestant " wins a trip to Harrisburg Pa with all the safety gear to protect her from radiation from 3 Mile Island meltdown ....lmao , topical for the time and great satire
I have been forced into a reduction of my benzo(e.g. valium, klonopin, xanax , ativan, et al) klonopin reduction . If i stop completely i will die of a seizure . It has been hell and i watch these tubes old concert videos all night . i don't know what that means but there may be a connection . i mean these tubes videos help me cope and entertain me . fuck the war on drugs , the war on pain and anxiety doctors . Did you know that too many pain patients cut off of opioids are killing themselves for pain relief ?! And so are many long term prescribed benzo users increase in suicide due to these broad draconian policies by the mother fucking fda, dea and cdc .
Not too sure about this brillant bunch of talented dudes post seventies material. The songs just don't seem that strong than those from the first four albums....
***** I agree but I can't blame them for wanting a "hit". They were broke, had been putting on incredible shows for years at a huge loss. Capitol took them on and they made a boatload of money in the '80s.
Jesus ! i wish they'd put me back on benzos . im going through hell and gonna die from a seizure . if i had my xanax or valium or klonopin back i'd be getting religious and praying "thank you jesus" 20 times a day and saying rosaries at night !
The most UNDERRATED and UNAPPRECIATED brand of all time!!!!!! The talent in this band can never be matched. Thank you for the soundtrack of my life.
Agreed most astute sir.
You said it tommy....
She's a beauty
Saw the tubes last year they opened the show with an instrumental of primetime. very touching.
Praire Prince the most underrated drummer ever!
Absolutely true.
@Gregory Clark Gonzo from the muppets?
Best band ever. I'm so glad they are still at it. A mighty important crusade!
I saw them Live only once at the Capital Theater in Passaic NJ in the late 70's and I already had their first two albums! I was a emidiate fan, the first time and I'm now 78 years old and I still Love Them To Death!
Saw them 1975 at Hasty Pudding ,Harvard University,Cambridge Ma.fucking legendary.My uncle was a Cambridge firefighter,on scene, got sucked into show,gave Quay his ludes(Canada Mints really) then helped put out stage fire.All time forever nite,beyond belief…God blesss these guys that was special….the greatest show ever!!!
Graduated high school in 79, these songs were all anthems ! Listened to them all nightly in the Bay Area on KOME 98.5 with Dennis Erectis. Great times.
R.I.P. Vince Welnick. February 21, 1951 - June 2, 2006.
RIP Vince....
Wow! fuckin holy shit!! the best Classic Prog Rock band ever!!! The Tubes are the shit!!!!
I took my youngest son to a Tubes show when he was 13/14 around 10 years ago in Oshkosh, WI. and he was totally blown away! Other than Re, Vince and Bill, this was the band. They did 2.5 hours and just fucking killed it!!!!! One of the best bands EVER!
The Tubes Concerts were the begging of true "Performance Art" well before it was even a thing!
The Tubes music/videos will live in our hearts & ears forever, i took my then gf to the San Jose Center for the Perfoming Arts in 1976 for Young & Rich tour, with everything that is great about them, stage props, costumes & HD motorcycles, even with all the radio hit singles, they were screwed by the record companies..
I LOVE the tubes ! My favorite band by far ! Remote Control is their Peak ! GREATEST ALBUM !! Every song on that one a CLASSIC !
The vocal harmony between Fee, Roger Steen and Bill Spooner is a masterclass in musicianship. To pull that off live is almost impossible.
Most underestimated band and frontman ever.
Thanks for this. Stil A fan since 1977. Love these guys and girls👍👍👍
I will FOREVER love the TUBES! Fave song: Young and Rich
Damn I loved the Tubes when I saw this concert.
A whole lot of talent on than stage!
23:50 "only the strong survive" , Bill Spooner (with the flying V guitar) really plays some amazing leads during this song . Spooner and Steen were one of the greatest two lead guitar duo ever !
Agree . And Roger Steen plays a great lead on No way out .
ARE'NT THEY JUST --WERE'NT THEY JUST MIND BLOWING??
they still are! I just saw them at the Rose in Pasadena, Ca. March 2017 they are still a simply amazing rock show of epic proportions! Fee is still the same wild frontman that he always was; Prairie and Rick are one of the tightest rhythm sections ever and Roger was brilliant as ever on guitar and vocals.

Great lead & harmony vocals on No Mercy

The Band sends you to outer space again and again and...5x shooting the stars!!!
When the Tubes are doing it...true Rock Opera...saw them in 83, I was blown away x 10....
again and again I'm 18 again. fuck these where good fucking high times!! 68 fast back lsd on the tongue, and my long legged skinny blond... damn we lived!!
1979 was Rose and Dragon blotter acid around the bay area as I recall.
wow takes me back to when i saw them seven times late 70s early eighties. the tubes ruled is what i tell my girls ages 9 and 12. those were the days
The Tubes bring to life what has long died in the world! Nobody wants to recognize the deep tragedy of this society, the Tubes have brought everything to the point.
My two fav. bands, Tubes & Zappa...
Saw them on this tour in Pittsburgh. If they had played "Prime Time" this would have been the perfect show. Love The Tubes. "Remote Control" is my favorite album.
Yeah, I expected them to do Prime Time immediately before or after Don’t Touch Me There 🤷♂️ bummer, but still an incredible show
I was there also
Remote control, my favorite work of theirs, the concept is up my alley. This footage is gold and I understand the arrangement of the songs. Gold mine this footage is.
Those were GREAT days in the SF Bay.....
I hitchhiked to the bay area from the east coast back in the day . didn't like san fran that much . i finally found out what it was like to be a female back in 1975 with all the gay guys trying to hit on me and whistling at me .

WOW! I LOVE this! Right from where I come from....
Thank Heavens for clips like this
how i wish i was,tg
The Tubes World Tour
Would love to see Mark Mothersbaugh and what remains of DEVO cover “Turn Me On” 😉
I love the way that, whoever edited this, never fails to linger on the wrong guitarist/keyboardist when they are taking a solo or playing a major motif. That takes some skill!

This is brilliant ❤❤❤❤❤❤
no words to describe . whole concert was greatest . just a little kudo to Roger Steen, i usually favor sputnk . 57:57 Steen was so good second half of world tour my head ripped off to heaven and my body went to hell !
A very honest regestration of The Tubes live. Great stuff!
23:50 "only strong survive" great song , g playing and singing by Sputnik Spooner
brilliant
Steen and Spooner are the best guitar duo since Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter
rock n roll animal EPIC
Saw them with the Ramones right around this time . . . great stuff.
THE TUBES !!!!! Fantástica Banda !
Gosto demais. Sou muito fã !!!
O melhor álbum que já escutei é desta banda : "What do you want from Live". Absolutamente fantástico, incrível !!!!

A shame Prime Time was not in the set. My favorite tune in Remote Control.
Right?? It was pure genius.
I love u
my brother was definitly here
Remote Control is one fantastic album .
A melhor banda, chamada PUNK, que tive prazer de ver 3 veses!
Ah the college years One of very few I learned was how great these guys are😂😂😂
1:15:24 lol, Spooner says you should have told us in rehearsal . Fee says we've done a 150 shows ! and Spooner says Where ?
I miss the days of Quay Lewd… those were some killer shows that made the 1970’s so special!!!
You don't need dope to enjoy this band! ))
Tubes were a local band playing the bars in my town. Saw them open for Led Zepplin Houses of the Holy tour>. Kezar stadium San Francisco 1975. My friend plays keyboards for them now.
I was at this show. The Motels and Pearl Harbor & the Explosions opened. Good times. . .
Wow!! You didn't self destruct from pleasure!!!
1:02:38 "thank heaven for little girls " from a song that French actor/singer Maurice Chavalier sang in the 1940's and 1950's , song same as chorus line "thank heaven for little girls

If anything they're great musicians..
At this show!
44:53 - 45:05 bears a striking resemblance to "Pocket Calculator" by Kraftwerk, three years before it was released!
ARP 2600. Look it up...
Fee reminds of a cross between Bon Scott and Roger Daultrey during Turn Me On... but at the same time Fee is very much so himself
Yep. But Sadly, AC/DC's Bon Scott Passed Away About 6 Months After This Show.
wpod "a valium, anything" ooops ! that was from the new year's eve concert 1975
Can't get any better than this . if you watch and listen to zappa , roxy music , bowie, kiss, alice cooper , etc , after this it is a letdown
Im going to Harrisburg
Remote Control was awesome. Second only to the debut album, imo.
They put on a great show. This wasn't one of them, but I saw plenty that were. I don't know if this was at the end of a tour ... or the beginning ... or what. It was just an off night for the ensemble. Still a lot of fun to watch - but when you've seen them firing on all cylinders, it pales by comparison.
On a possibly related note - wasn't this near the time that Foster and Lukather were brought in to produce their next album? I believe that produced a LOT of tension in the band, but would be interested to know more about that (or to learn that I'm wrong). I know I'd have trouble stomaching a producer and lead singer bringing in another guitarist to write songs and play lead on some of them (ouch - Steen and Spooner are pretty awesome). Having said that - Lukather's playing blended with the style of the band pretty well, even if they (likely) weren't happy about it.
Wow, and I thought this one was good!
Re Styles!
Roger Steen superb. telicide or tv suicide song
chaos is order is chaos is order is chaos is order is chaos is order is......
1:07:24 transmit this minute into space and aliens will come down to save planet earth from war, greed, and need in return for more rock n roll .
Do you have any of the Tubes concerts in color 1977 or 78 doing the Remote Control tour,
Where there is all the theatrics of him singing inside of a television set.
I saw a live at the Palladium in New York when the album first came out, it was wild, third row upfront.
FANTASTIC!!! Hey, does anyone know why these Winterland shows exist? Was Graham shooting this video for his own archives or was this footage used on screens during the show?
+Guy Fawkes Fall Guy, they were used on screens. A lot of concerts from the Capitol Theater in Passaic, NJ are showing up too.
That's great but I'm shocked they recorded them. And that it took this long for them to come out.
White Punks on dope!!! I was a punk before you were a punk! was directed to the England punk bands? Either way they are better than any punk and still very punk and very rock and roll and even hard progressive with great melodies.
But where's Mingo Lewis?
They were great in their prime. After "Remote Control" they never got their mojo back.
Come on, Outside Inside & The Completion Backward Principle were both good albums, Love Bomb wasn't that good, but it had it's moments. Around the same time Fee Waybil put out a solo album, 'Read My Lips' that I thought was a great album!
I felt the exact same way. When the female back up singers left (one way or another) the entire vibe changed. At that point I felt that's when they lost their magic!!! Listen to "Prime Time" and that was a sound that they NEVER got back...Pitty. They gave The Tubes their "Magnetic Sensuality."
throw out your anti-depressants ! Just watch this(or 75' tubes new years eve/day) . btw , don't stop that paxil all at once . gradual ween .
37:53 female "contestant " wins a trip to Harrisburg Pa with all the safety gear to protect her from radiation from 3 Mile Island meltdown ....lmao , topical for the time and great satire
I have been forced into a reduction of my benzo(e.g. valium, klonopin, xanax , ativan, et al) klonopin reduction . If i stop completely i will die of a seizure . It has been hell and i watch these tubes old concert videos all night . i don't know what that means but there may be a connection . i mean these tubes videos help me cope and entertain me . fuck the war on drugs , the war on pain and anxiety doctors . Did you know that too many pain patients cut off of opioids are killing themselves for pain relief ?! And so are many long term prescribed benzo users increase in suicide due to these broad draconian policies by the mother fucking fda, dea and cdc .
after watching the tubes live videos , every other rock band videos are boring it seems
Wot ! oooo mee ?
i dont relate,bec ause Im from sydney,,,help me
wtf is with this extra scroll bar ??!
Hell everybody wanted to be Roxy
The Tubes were way better than Roxy .
kiss my decals baby,,,,,,hello
Not too sure about this brillant bunch of talented dudes post seventies material.
The songs just don't seem that strong than those from the first four albums....
***** I agree but I can't blame them for wanting a "hit". They were broke, had been putting on incredible shows for years at a huge loss. Capitol took them on and they made a boatload of money in the '80s.
way better than Frank Zappa's live performances
looks like there was good cocaine :)
Jesus ! i wish they'd put me back on benzos . im going through hell and gonna die from a seizure . if i had my xanax or valium or klonopin back i'd be getting religious and praying "thank you jesus" 20 times a day and saying rosaries at night !
