back in 1985, finished watching MTV's broadcast of Iron Maiden's Live After Death concert at Long Beach Arena. After the broadcast, the VJ talks about tuning in next week for John Waite live, and they played a short teaser clip of this exact performance, with Earl Slick ripping it up. For some odd reason, 36yrs later, i remember this moment. Thank goodness for the 1980's, MTV, and rock 'n roll music!!!!
You just brought back a lot of memories for me as well! "Live After Death" was a monumental broadcast! "Scream for me Long Beach! Scream for me Long Beach...the Iron Maiden!"
I was wondering who those musicians were! Earl Slick on guitar! Thanks! This song is one of many iconic 80’s hits written by the great Holly Knight, who recently published a fantastic book about her life including the Big 80’s. Can’t recommend it more to fans of 80’s music. The audiobook includes her original demos for some tunes and a PDF filled with magazine clipping and pictures etc. Anyway… Earl Slick ripped it up here! 👍
All-star band! Earl Slick guitar, Carmine Rojas bass guitar and Alan Childs drums played with David Bowie. Tommy Mandel was in the studio for Bryan Adams, 1981 to 1996 and on the road with him from 1991 to 1996.
We always wish for money We always wish for fame We think we have the answers Some things are never gonna C H A N G E Yep, truth...,. Recently attended the funeral of what should have been my "father-in-law" and ran into people I hadn't seen in years. Leaving the funeral, this song was on in the car. Remarkable how little truly changes with time.
He can do this song on video, lip syched for TV, well past his prime before a couple dozen fans, or as a young rocker, and he and this song still ring true and move me.
Hard to believe that this was 35 years ago. My first of many times seeing John with this & other versions of his bands. As well as with Bad English twice & even just him and his guitar player on acoustic guitars opening for Dennis DeYoung. He still sounds damn good.
Kuch had it right. It was a Visionquest. But all I ever settled for is that we're born to live... and to die... and we've each gotta do it alone... each in our own way. And I guess that's why ya gotta love those who deserve it like there's no tomorrow... because when you get right down to it... there isn't.
This is a great version of the song he dressed very punk it's a very sexy look. He's only in his mid 60s now he looks still sexy and it's streamlined I love he changes his look all the time
Thanks Rosie! The basement-dwelling musical experts don't seem to understand that "live' versions of a great studio song have their own life. Every night is a little different with a high profile touring band. I liked this version ... a lot.
Something seems off about the tempo of the song. Its like the music is going faster & faster &:Jin is trying to catch up. Too bad bc it's a great song & he's a great vocalist
It's a LIVE version! Everything is a little faster live ... it's called adrenaline. A couple of my purist pals HATE live albums/vids .... I love to watch musical artists on stage.
mfuji02 excellent suggestion!!! Nice to see someone has that “ ear” for music.. I got news for ya I dig so many songs with killer backgrounds -- we all have songs that each one has “ oh this is the best part”... and so many of those are back round vocals!!!! 😚💨💨💨♥️🐾💪🏻🏆🏆🏆👌🏼
Holy fucken bad Batman!! Very disappointing to say the least - “ speaking “ the lyrics??? Off tune... I’m like shocked!! I like when singers / groups IE: Sammy Hagar/ Van Hagar.. go out live and really try to have the live show sound like what they made in the studio. Big let down Brahda
One of my top 10 songs EVER! Im an 80s girl ❤
80s were great. Maybe the pinnacle of western civilization?
70s were far better
I honestly believe it was the pinnacle of America
Awesome, brings me back to the movie: VISION QUEST. Classic 80’s movie
Damn the 80s were the best
All coked up.......

Lol ripping it up is right long live Earl slick
The man is a rock and roll machine

Alan Childs -Thank You ! I knew I recognized him.
Holy shit that Earl Slick solo is savage lol
I love the energy- love the song. One of those you hear so little you light up when it plays. Guitarist is killer too.
We always wish for money
We always wish for fame

Beautiful song!!

Frederick Glasser Ran the NYC city marathon and made sure this was on my set list. One of my favorite songs of all time and this version is amazong
This was basically a Top Gun movie about wrestling, it was silly, unbelievable and I have seen it 100+ times.
@@AFuller2020 looking at Wikipedia Vision Quest sounds like a KILLER of a movie

So much love whenever this plays. ❤
Saw that tour with Scandal in the 80's in Dallas, Eddie Van Halen showed up and played in a few songs as well.
One of the best songs ever
Only second to my other favorite CARRIES GONE by LEROUX
So good so many years later. Esrl Slick single knob carvin
One of the greatest session players of all time, great with Bowie also!
Awesome - thank you
That brutal guitar soloing should accompany a warning like from Back to the Future: You might not be ready for that, but your kids are gonna love it!
Earl Slick is the Rambo of the electric guitar
Tim Pierce played guitar on the record but I have always loved Earl Slicks stripped down approach. One humbucker and one volume control. Rawk!

Fabuloso 💙💙

Great song and, better live.....

Ready player one
VISION QUEST
nice song by the baby's
Earl Slick on guitar. Guy played with Bowie, whole bunch of people. Legend.
yeah and he played most of it wrong and off tempo. In fact the whole band sucked. The vocals were ever off key.
They play this song everyday at work and it makes me wanna gouge out my own eyes
😂😂😂 i rarely hear it, love it still 💃
@@somemom6827 you are a savage....lol
Carmine Rojas!!!
Is that Earl & Tommy?
Sure is dude
@@RosieHWeinstein-vl1nm Two of the coolest sidemen ever!!!
@@rolandgreystoke5601 absolutely
So much for playing at the same tempo throughout the song, I guess.
Tom B yeah this band sucked. Real slick butchers the songs
You're full of shit.
This is terrible!
Cocaines a hella ova drug..
Yup..maybe a little Peruvian marching powder was involved?
Check out Mr Earl Slick rippin. Monster player 👍🏼
Something seems off about the tempo of the song. Its like the music is going faster & faster &:Jin is trying to catch up. Too bad bc it's a great song & he's a great vocalist

Gosh the drummer speeds it up. And Earl Slick puts a partial pentatonic blues scale in the solo Wtf?
cocaine ftw -_-
Definitely one of those songs that the solo needs to match the record
You’re waiting for it and Earl Slick shits the bed
Bill Monach earl slick sucks on the whole concert. He’s a hack
This is what happens when you have Frankie LaRocka (drums) and Tim Pierce (guitar)
in the studio but not on tour
What's wrong with you guys??? @hirskdubbi, @Bill Monach, @Bounty Hunter Bootcamp, @bjustice 👎
Looks like a "coked up" band that night...
fkn ausome keyboards need Pat Benatar on backups -_-

The original female back up singer on this song was Patty Smyth from Scandal .
Tim Pierce is dearly missed from this performance. Yes, he had his stance with Rick Springfield within the same period, but...
Well, the guitar player is no Tim Pierce, but nice live cut.
Never heard a tone from Earl Slick that I liked. Lame solos as well.
God I HATE when singer change up the songs live and it’s usually for the worse!!!!
Stay home and listen to the cd
It's only change.
hate when there's no female back ups like the studio version
Jorge Aguiar agreed!!!
TH-cam critics LOL. How did he "change" this song? Douchebag.
Why is he so flat with the vocals? Seems like he's out of breath and the solo is totally wrong. This is terrible!
Earl Slick going straight into blues licks for the solo is LAME
🤦♂️
Not a fan of the guitar player
If you have a legit mental disability then that comment would make sense .
Earl Slick Rules
Forget the words huh? That shit ruins the entire song and I won’t even mention how bad he sounds
Holy fucken bad Batman!! Very disappointing to say the least - “ speaking “ the lyrics??? Off tune... I’m like shocked!! I like when singers / groups IE: Sammy Hagar/ Van Hagar.. go out live and really try to have the live show sound like what they made in the studio. Big let down Brahda
Roderick Williams .... John Waite a great singer still!
