This song is so dope, this old man is a legend. I don’t care if he’s over weight or what, he’s an absolute savage. He’s almost 70 and can get up there and still sing his ass off. My hat is off to him
I salute and thank the band Loverboy for staying together all these years and still sounding great! That is a true rarity in itself and worth a standing ovation! I salute you and thank you for your great music! Keep on rocking, God bless, and always stay young at heart. 👍👌❤️😁🙏✝️👏👏👏👏🫡🎼🎶🎵🎤🎸🥁🎹
I sure do. We listened to that record over and over and over. I grew up close to the Canadian border so we were very influenced by the Canadian rockers. Class of '83 here.
They certainly were massive. I worked on stage with Loverboy in the late 70s and early 80s. It's great to know they can still rock. Mike is somewhat larger for sure but he's still got it
It's easy to miss, but in the original official video. When he hits that note, you can see right off to the right his guitarist has a grin on his face like Wow.!

@@derek4073the 80s guys fashion WAS 'for' the girls. They loved guys in tight clothes n long hair. 70s and 80s is my Rock era, but ide worked out by the 80s, that the guys who dress for the ladies, were always with ladies. The guys who dressed, for what their male friends thought was normal, ended up hanging with the guys, 'wishing' they were the guys with the ladies, lol.

The summer of 1980 at just 20 yrs old,I went and saw Loverboy in concert. They were one of the hottest rock bands around. At 63 today this is still one of my favorite songs.I wish I could go back to those days again.
I saw them in '81 when I was 22. Now 64, I still have my "Get Lucky" CD and blast that when I'm in the car! Wish I would have kept the concert T-shirt, but it wouldn't fit now.

Before the video started,I asked myself,will they still have what it takes, or will this be just an attempt to relive the glory years.I pushed play and got my answer.They've still got it.Great job,guys.👍👍
He's not even signing, he's lip synching to a pre-recorded live in studio backing track like so many older bands do nowdays, it's ridiculously obvious, look at the microphone, he's moving it all over the place an nowhere near his mouth sometimes when the 'vocals' are still coming through at the same consistent volume, which they wouldn't.
@@greatunz67 mike reno has always "worked" the mic that way. on strong notes, some singers .ie kenny rogers, turn their head , some pull the mic straight down, reno pushed it up. the consistent volume level comes from a good sound man and a quaity compressor/expander. and thats not the studio version..
@@TheCaptainsRock So, let me get this straight....they recorded him singing "hello Tampa" @3:00, and "tiramisu" (the Italian dessert) @5:56.....so he could lipsync it later, whilst joking with the guitarist on stage? Interesting. Maybe you don't know what you're talking about, and should just shut up, eh? I'll keep looking out for that "tiramisu" part in all those videos you mentioned though....just in case. LMAO!
@@theghostofsw6276you do realize they still have the mic on for the most part. An you can still sing “lip sync” to a pre recorded track. All the board guy has to do is turn on an off the mic. Not rocket science
All it takes is quality rehearsing and continual practice. I saw him in a video singing this song a few years ago and he was no where as good as this, so obviously they have been rehearsing more. There's a lot of 80s bands and singers which still sound awesome, despite age. Now if he could also get a little more serious about rehearsing just a touch of weight management and fast food avoidance, Reno would look much younger as well! Age 68 is not old.
@@apollo-so5yj- He needs to cut out the booze - tons of sugar & neurological scrambling with that stuff. If he goes high protein, fruits, & low carb, he’ll heal up & put 20 years back on his life. That voice and the man behind it are completely worth it.
Tampa Florida in July. On a stage full of hot ass equipment. In his 60’s and it’s gotta be 100 on that stage. The level of respect I have for him is beyond words. 🙏🏻
Try more like 110° with the heat index ... can't walk from the car into a building without dripping in sweaty freaking miserable heat index .... I'm shocked and amazed that he wasn't soaked and dripping in sweat !
I said the same thing I seen them in Syracuse NY Last weekend and I was so proud of all of them Reno killing it was giving me chills...I had to say they were better than the headliner foreigner
80’s music is the best! Mike Reno and the fellas still killing it in the 2000’s. Thank you for keeping that awesome 80’s music (a)live so younger generations get to experience it!! God bless!
I'm gonna pack my bags and FLYYY! Such an iconic scream that always gives me shivers. I remember 1981 and Loverboy Get Lucky and ACDC Back in Black ruled the charts! Funny but that's how it was!
I grew up, listening to these boys! Damn, we’re getting old! We’re still rocking on! Just have to add, I was I Flower Child of the 60s. The 60s, and 70s made the 80s music possible! Just remember that all of you born in the 80s. Rock on!
Mine too. The year was 83 in San Antonio Texas. Joan Jett and the Blackhearts opened for them. Still the loudest event I’ve ever been to. This was a 12th Birthday gift from my mother! It was awesome! 😎
Just like Van Halen, BOC, Niel Young, Scorps and several others, for someone who was a young man during the early eighties, Loverboy was a part of the soundtrack of our lives. The clock keeps ticking, I'm happy for them and glad they're still touring and rocking across the country Thanks for sharing. -☀️
It kinda freaks me the F out when I see all these bands I grew up with bk in the day and they be gettin older…that makes me older to………63 years old this November…….😊 and I’m really feeling it now, just in the last couple of years ……….and I still 💕 to rock 🎸 out 🎶to all these amazing 🤩 bands/groups 🎶 But my favorite 🎸is in Rock n Roll heaven now and that I miss everyday…..Eddie Van Halen🎸🎶😔🥰🙏🏻😇
modern electronics......... alot of bands refuse to modernize their band but when your old and need help its the right choice....... I'm sure they use modern electronics to pump them up and bring back that iconic 80's sound!!
Bringing back those memories. I was in my early teens with the stereo always on. My collection of albums and cassettes stacked to the ceiling. I love my Metal but also appreciated great music like Loverboy. They still sound amazing.
I don't think I have ever heard a male, rock singer who has a voice that has held up so well. He sounds just as good as he did 40 years ago. Another thing is that you can really tell that he knows proper singing technique. He sounds absolutely incredible.
yea Bruce Dickinson still as good as he did in the 80's and he evenwent thry throat cancer and still sounds great even looks the same as he did inthe 80's not 40lbs heavier but guess I'm thesame 40 lbs heavier to so nit bashing jyst saying lol
I saw this band a couple months ago with Kim Mitchell. I was simply blown away by how good the all sound, even 40 years later. Vince Neil should have taken notes for longevity from this guy. Mike Reno is such a great singer still to this day. Thank-you Mike!
You have to be able to sing in the first place to be able to keep a good voice lol. Vince was there because he looked like a rockstar, now he's lost that and cant sing 😂
This is definitely NOT a “Tubabee Tour”! I am blown away by how amazing these guys sound. Loverboy was my very first concert 40 years ago and they sound just as good today!
@@johntclunie the 80s were great to me and it was an innocent time of life that I miss so much.....the 90s I was in Iraq and then in 2003 I was shot in Afghanistan......yes I love this song.....I miss the 80s. Hell I miss me.....
I've known Reno since about '74, well before any of his original bands......blew me away then (in a band called Synergy) and still kicks ass like no one else........I've known Matthew & Paul for decades (since before they were in Streetheart)......All these decades later, they still Kill it live....................Big respect..................hard, heavy, solid, bringing people to their feet - getthing them off and nailing it year after year without fail................................Kudos
This is fucking awesome 🤯💯 I love this song and hear it on the radio all the time. I'd totally go see them. I wish them the best on any shows or tours they do.💯🌞
...I don't think he did. I think it was a backing track. It doesn't look like he's actually singing that, more of a lip sync. Just that high part tho. The rest he's definitely doing.
Man!! I cannot believe the time that has passed so fast. It was yesterday I was in school loving this. Now I’m 51.. wow! I’m blessed for being in that generation….
We're all getting old, out of shape, and our memories are fading. But our rock era will never die thanks to Mike and other 80's bands like Loverboy. I, for one, appreciate it greatly. Thanks guys 🤘
I'm seeing Loverboy for the first time opening for Sammy Hagar in Saratoga in 2024. God bless them for still touring and making us 80s teens happy once again. These were great times !
That's freakin awesome!!!! Proof positive that just cause you got take your time a little bit when you get older doesn't mean you can't deliver just as sweet 😊❤
Seen em in 93, they were touring w/April Wine. Traveled to Fargo nd from sfsd and back in an iffy truck( it made it)( it spit a front drive shaft out but not that trip). When I got home, my apt door was unlocked. I had left $9000 on kitchen table and it was all there. ( I believe I got excited and forgot to lock door.) The other strange thing was they were playing at the fargodome and because sales were so low, the dome was curtained off and the stage was cockeyed from how it should have been. I wasn't about comfort @ 32 so it didn't matter. Crossed 2 faves off wanna see list!!!
I've seen several (recent) performances by these guys and as a guy who is a singer and getting older myself, to see one of our hero's from back in the 80's, still being able to hit all the notes...It's impressive and I give him nothing but kudo's for it!!! I'm always like "MAN, he can still hit that note!!" haha
Its a backing track. Hes not really singing. Its pre-recorded. Look at 5:40. When you pull the mic saway from you that far the volume would not stay the same.
They're probably tuned down half a step to a full step, but ALL the older bands do that. Metallica, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest etc. I'm a singer/guitarist/bassist and 58 yrs. old and I feel like I've gotten way more control of my range, am able to sing higher with my natural voice with no falsetto and can do death/clean vocals in the last decade where before I couldn't do death vox at all. And I only practice when I have to record something. I think it's a combination of not smoking, making healthy choices and genetics, and some people just get lucky with the genetics. How Mike sounds so good in his current state is beyond me, but wow. Good for him.
My very first concert ever was Loverboy. Quiet Riot opened for them. What a great way to be introduced to live music!!! Been hooked ever since and that was in 1983-84
@@philh9238 Yes. When he got to the high part (which I was waiting to see) he did not physically sing that. So he is lip syncing. Why would you doubt it. It's industry standard these days. I wouldn't pay money to see a band do karaoke. Loverboy the band is awesome but if you can't pull it off, don't do it. I think these guys are talented enough that they could retool all of there songs to within their abilities and write new stuff.
Agreed! 👍 But, Hey... My Surprise they are doing it. I'm not that old... ("Yet."). Lol. I, Am wanting to get something going. I, Miss playing. As long as I, Can load my own gear. I, May as well..? I, Keep running into Twenty year olds that have no Clue... And, Want to Start with Original songs... By THEM. Lol. I, Know where to Start. 🍻✌️🕊️
Oh my goodness, I loved them then and adore them now! They may not have the looks but they still have the most important part - the sound. They still hit the riffs, the key notes and love what they're doing. This just makes my heart so happy.
As it was getting closer to the time for that high note, I was positive that Reno would do like most vocalists do when they can no longer hit it. Point the microphone towards the audience. I was STUNNED when he actually hit it! And they played the song in the same key as the studio version.
Mike Reno sounding damn good as he ever has! And I know it can't be easy trying to perform in that hot and humid Tampa air, either! Props to him and the entire band!
A classic from my youth…..And Mike Reno can STILL SING 🎤 ……. Friken awesome…. I couldn’t stop smiling... slamming drums , rocking driving guitar..... just frikin awesome.......
Seems like yesterday. I graduated high school in 80, right when this band was new and hitting it big. This is one of the few bands who really reproduces their recorded sound on spot when live. They sound great here!
@@alfromplymouth Yes, it's clearly a sample triggered by the keyboadist. However, I'd cut the singer a little slack because notes like that are almost impossible to hit properly at his age.
@@michelforest6329 I was pointing out one comment in particular that said no tracks, I disagreed, I have zero problems with tracks, I am 58 and a musician, so I am familiar with the effects of aging on everything, Again, non musicians dont always know what is up, but if a 70 year old sounds like he did 40 years ago, there is a reason.
It’s been interesting see our music heros age. It’s not pretty but it is amazing to see who’s still got it now. Mike Reno and Mickey Thomas are 2 singers who can still bring it.
I seen Mickey Thomas at a race track in Quincy IL years ago with three other bands Molly Hatchet and Little river Band were two of them cant remember the other he played third in line and when he was done the crowd was fired up .. Molly Hatchet had no chance to follow that show and didn't hit the stage for over an hour after Mickey was done..
*ABSOLUTELY STUNNED!!!!!!!!! Loverboy is my era, although I've never seen them live before. I've only heard this classic on the radio ever since then like the rest of the world. I happened upon this recent video of this live performance - and Mike Reno's voice today STAGGERS ME! It's SO INCREDIBLY POWERFUL AND EMOTIONAL! BETTER THAN EVER! It makes me search their new releases LIKE BEING A WHOLE NEW FAN!*
I remember when it came out. Clearly life happened, but they’re tight and unpretentious, and having as much fun as we are. His voice is bloody good. Good for you guys!
Considering their age, especially, they sound great. I am disgusted at all the weight jokes aimed at Mike, who has struggled for years. Cheap shots and uncalled for. How would those people feel having their looks made fun of? Keep it up, Loverboy ❤️
quit looking for problems that aren't there. I haven't seen one post besides yours that mentions weight. Good God did you even read the posts or just assume?
Oh man was that good. I'm just a few years younger than these guys. Its inspiring to see them still rocking all these years later at such a high level. Great song.
Enjoyed seeing and hearing them Apr. 30, 1982 in Sudbury Ontario Canada, 42 yrs. ago. I lived in Elliot Lake Ont. and a friend and I were blown away by the two shows. The warm up act for them was a performer somewhat new on the scene ; Brian Adams ... loved both shows and these guys look and sound great still. Thanx
This was the last song in their set when I saw them open for Journey in 1981....I was 9 years old....Im 51 now. Its very sobering at how our Rock icons have and are aging, I have to remind myself alot that the 80's wasn't 10 or 15 years ago lol. Its MUCH further back! Regardless, Kudos to these guys for still getting out there! And not a bad performance all things considered 🤘🏻
@@ApriliaRacer14, yes it is hard to come to grips with the fact it's been 40 plus years. Saw these guys a couple of times back in the day. I'm 62 now and want so bad to be back there in the late 70's and early 80's. I miss those days so f**king much.😢
I was 8 years old in 81. Remember that time like it was yesterday..yes..very surreal to see these guys from all the bands back then aged like they have . Yeah..I have to remind myself that it wasn't 10 years ago..42 years...and it's hard to swallow that fact. I miss that era so much.
I was blown away by the Get Lucky cassette I got from Columbia House back in the day. (You know you did it too!) Did anyone tell the band that it's 40+ years later and they aren't supposed to sound like they just stepped out of the recording booth?! AMAZING!! Proof positive that you don't need to be in your 20's with a 28" waist to perform like a true rock star! Total Wayne & Garth move - - - "We're not worthy!!" Incredible!! Blown away - - again!!
Mike Reno just killed it on vocals. Last time I saw them live they were headlining and Dokken was the opener. The band killed it back then and is still killing it after all these years. Bravo!!!
I saw that same Tour. Loverboy/Dokken. Great show. Love George Lynch but Loverboy sounded great. Heres to ya Mike and Co. Keep on rocking in the Free world.
Almost brings tears to my eyes hearing the crowd blow up when he absolutely slays the signature note he belts out. Rock on with your bad ass self, sir. Thanks for reminding us all that age is a number and time is bullshit.

@@theghostofsw6276you do realize they still have the mic on for the most part. An you can still sing “lip sync” to a pre recorded track. All the board guy has to do is turn on an off the mic. Not rocket science
I NEVER expected that voice to come out of him after all these years. WOW. Damn, this group still has it. Fantastic job.
All it takes is quality rehearsing and continual practice. I saw him in a video singing this song a few years ago and he was no where as good as this, so obviously they have been rehearsing more. There's a lot of 80s bands and singers which still sound awesome, despite age. Now if he could also get a little more serious about rehearsing just a touch of weight management and fast food avoidance, Reno would look much younger as well! Age 68 is not old.
@@apollo-so5yj No , you are right. I work in Rehab and old is def after the 80 year or so mark.
Absolutely agree...I was like wow!
Wow! Just wow, Mike Reno still has a great voice. I was in love with him when I was 12 years old.
@@apollo-so5yj- He needs to cut out the booze - tons of sugar & neurological scrambling with that stuff. If he goes high protein, fruits, & low carb, he’ll heal up & put 20 years back on his life. That voice and the man behind it are completely worth it.
Tampa Florida in July. On a stage full of hot ass equipment. In his 60’s and it’s gotta be 100 on that stage.
The level of respect I have for him is beyond words. 🙏🏻
I was there and it was HOT! 🥵
Try more like 110° with the heat index ... can't walk from the car into a building without dripping in sweaty freaking miserable heat index .... I'm shocked and amazed that he wasn't soaked and dripping in sweat !
Don't forget the 150% humidity.
I said the same thing I seen them in Syracuse NY Last weekend and I was so proud of all of them Reno killing it was giving me chills...I had to say they were better than the headliner foreigner
80’s music is the best! Mike Reno and the fellas still killing it in the 2000’s. Thank you for keeping that awesome 80’s music (a)live so younger generations get to experience it!!
God bless!
Wow, Mike still has a great voice at his age and the band still can play. Great job!
I'm gonna pack my bags and FLYYY! Such an iconic scream that always gives me shivers. I remember 1981 and Loverboy Get Lucky and ACDC Back in Black ruled the charts! Funny but that's how it was!
Brings back memories of HS. Good to see these guys are still rocking.
@@CC-jl7jzthey’re doing SOMETHING…..I don’t think rocking is it.
I grew up, listening to these boys! Damn, we’re getting old! We’re still rocking on!
Just have to add, I was I Flower Child of the 60s. The 60s, and 70s made the 80s music possible! Just remember that all of you born in the 80s. Rock on!
Yep
LOVERBOY was my 1st concert over 40 years ago. They still sound great!
Mine too. The year was 83 in San Antonio Texas. Joan Jett and the Blackhearts opened for them. Still the loudest event I’ve ever been to. This was a 12th Birthday gift from my mother! It was awesome! 😎
My first concert was the Greg Kihn Band, if you remember them. :)
Just like Van Halen, BOC, Niel Young, Scorps and several others, for someone who was a young man during the early eighties, Loverboy was a part of the soundtrack of our lives. The clock keeps ticking, I'm happy for them and glad they're still touring and rocking across the country Thanks for sharing. -☀️
It kinda freaks me the F out when I see all these bands I grew up with bk in the day and they be gettin older…that makes me older to………63 years old this November…….😊 and I’m really feeling it now, just in the last couple of years ……….and I still 💕 to rock 🎸 out 🎶to all these amazing 🤩 bands/groups 🎶 But my favorite 🎸is in Rock n Roll heaven now and that I miss everyday…..Eddie Van Halen🎸🎶😔🥰🙏🏻😇
We're still rocking though man !
Wow- they sound shockingly GREAT!!! I’m so surprised- most bands do NOT sound this good after this many years- wow- ROCK ON BOYS!!🤟❤❤❤
Folks, it is three chord music in 4/4 time----it's not that hard to master!
Tru
modern electronics......... alot of bands refuse to modernize their band but when your old and need help its the right choice....... I'm sure they use modern electronics to pump them up and bring back that iconic 80's sound!!
His voice still sounds fantastic.
Because he's lipsyncing 😅😅😅😅😅
@@jeffbrown4256 He is sooooo obviously not lip syncing. Get out of here
Bringing back those memories. I was in my early teens with the stereo always on. My collection of albums and cassettes stacked to the ceiling. I love my Metal but also appreciated great music like Loverboy. They still sound amazing.
@@jeffbrown4256 As a vocalist and an audio engineer (among other things) he is absolutely not lip syncing.
I wouldn’t say fantastic
I was able to see them live. Opened for journey in 1981 or around that time outstanding.
Saw that tour in Cleveland. Steve Perry & Mike Reno...unbelievable!
1982 Oregon summer jam, Foreigner / Loverboy / Joan Jett & The Blackhearts / Taxxi / Blue Oyster Cult. It was awesome!!
Caught that tour in LA California.
I don't think I have ever heard a male, rock singer who has a voice that has held up so well. He sounds just as good as he did 40 years ago. Another thing is that you can really tell that he knows proper singing technique. He sounds absolutely incredible.
I was just watching his mic technique
Agreed, but I'll put in a vote for Daryl Hall. He's 76 and still sounds incredible.
yea Bruce Dickinson still as good as he did in the 80's and he evenwent thry throat cancer and still sounds great even looks the same as he did inthe 80's not 40lbs heavier but guess I'm thesame 40 lbs heavier to so nit bashing jyst saying lol
Burton Cummings
The Demon of Scream’n Steven Tyler still has “em” all beat! Hands down.
I saw this band a couple months ago with Kim Mitchell. I was simply blown away by how good the all sound, even 40 years later. Vince Neil should have taken notes for longevity from this guy. Mike Reno is such a great singer still to this day. Thank-you Mike!
Vince took eating lessons from him!
if he dosent keel over from heart failure... jeez
Vince never was a good singer, that's the difference.
You have to be able to sing in the first place to be able to keep a good voice lol. Vince was there because he looked like a rockstar, now he's lost that and cant sing 😂
This is definitely NOT a “Tubabee Tour”! I am blown away by how amazing these guys sound. Loverboy was my very first concert 40 years ago and they sound just as good today!
Man he still got the voice!!!! Growing up I this Era.... watching this gave me chills. Amazing
@eldiablo4966 no way
Something is far from normal about that performance. Something just isn’t right. @@BMetal75
Working For The Weekend never got its' due....
Still on my playlist.
Loved it since I first heard it.
I was 15 then.
Keep rockin' guys.
it was actually played alot in the day!!!
Please send this to Paul Stanley of Kiss to let him see how it's done without a Sync tape
lmao
The scream was definitely a backing track
Kiss is not nearly as musically talented as lover boy!
Not even close
@@paxmanautoauto7579 Your point?
Wow he still got a set of pipes don't he
I fucing LOVED this song when it came out........I think around 83❤❤❤❤❤❤ he's still killing it!!!!!!! Underrated band BIG TIME 😊
My favorite song...came out 81
Saw Loverboy in’82 at Maple Leaf Garden and Brian Adams was the opener.Awesome show!
@@denislitisha7136I saw the same tour in Calgary. Bryan Adams was really good.
Underrated are kidding me yeah if you like girly bubble gum... Music
@@johntclunie the 80s were great to me and it was an innocent time of life that I miss so much.....the 90s I was in Iraq and then in 2003 I was shot in Afghanistan......yes I love this song.....I miss the 80s. Hell I miss me.....
I've known Reno since about '74, well before any of his original bands......blew me away then (in a band called Synergy) and still kicks ass like no one else........I've known Matthew & Paul for decades (since before they were in Streetheart)......All these decades later, they still Kill it live....................Big respect..................hard, heavy, solid, bringing people to their feet - getthing them off and nailing it year after year without fail................................Kudos
This is fucking awesome 🤯💯 I love this song and hear it on the radio all the time. I'd totally go see them. I wish them the best on any shows or tours they do.💯🌞
WOW..I can't believe he hit that high note! He still sounds incredible!
...I don't think he did. I think it was a backing track. It doesn't look like he's actually singing that, more of a lip sync. Just that high part tho. The rest he's definitely doing.
@@besticudcumupwith202 I watched it again and you might be right but it is hard to tell...
Yep. Sounds amazing, BUT I'd rather him do the lower octave than FAKE it. Love this band though. Rock on...
I think they downtuned to help him thru whole song but some of my favorite bands do that.
I was waiting for that note and Mike did not disappoint!
Man!! I cannot believe the time that has passed so fast. It was yesterday I was in school loving this. Now I’m 51.. wow! I’m blessed for being in that generation….
Takes years to build the MEMORY bank .. only take seconds to put u back there
Amen!
Totally. I was in the 5th grade in Wheaton IL. 52 yrs old now.
Same here
Yes yes yes
Very impressive that Mike Reno sounds this incredible after all these years ❤
I thought that was Dusty Rhodes 😂
Checkout Rob Holford of Judas Preist as he's around 74 and still belts it out live.
Mike Oreo
@@ibrstellar1080 Klaus Meine is 76 and can still sing his ass off. Latest Scorpions album sounds like they did in the 80's.
That day was hot as hell, I was there with my kid. Very professional and underrated band.
We're all getting old, out of shape, and our memories are fading. But our rock era will never die thanks to Mike and other 80's bands like Loverboy.
I, for one, appreciate it greatly. Thanks guys 🤘
in 20 years when we're all dead and gone this generation will wonder what to do, they'll have nothing like we had...
Lol. WTF? Speak for yourself!! And if you're out of shape, change your diet and go to a gym
I love these guys! Nice to hear how great Mike's voice stayed in the 1980's. He sounds great! Too bad we can't say that about Vince Neil.
Dude. These guys had it and STILL have it. Theyre not over the top nor are they lacking in energy. Music can be medicinal and these guys are soothing.
I'm seeing Loverboy for the first time opening for Sammy Hagar in Saratoga in 2024. God bless them for still touring and making us 80s teens happy once again. These were great times !
This man has taken great care of his voice! The band still sounds good after 40 years!
he hasn't taken very good care of anything else from the looks of him
@@clemclemson9259 🤣
Holy shit
@clemclemson9259 I don't think he can fit in those tight red spandex pants he wore in the 80's. 😂 His voice still sounds good though.
@@DPhasely oh god I hope I never see that !!! thanks for the reply!
I saw them years ago and could not believe how great Mike Reno sounded live. He is still amazing. Great voice.
That's freakin awesome!!!! Proof positive that just cause you got take your time a little bit when you get older doesn't mean you can't deliver just as sweet 😊❤
Seen em in 93, they were touring w/April Wine. Traveled to Fargo nd from sfsd and back in an iffy truck( it made it)( it spit a front drive shaft out but not that trip). When I got home, my apt door was unlocked. I had left $9000 on kitchen table and it was all there. ( I believe I got excited and forgot to lock door.) The other strange thing was they were playing at the fargodome and because sales were so low, the dome was curtained off and the stage was cockeyed from how it should have been. I wasn't about comfort @ 32 so it didn't matter. Crossed 2 faves off wanna see list!!!
Impressive🤘 A little worried about his health.
AGREE. I saw them a few years ago and they were awesome.
After all these years they still sound great
I Think So too.....
🇺🇸
Loved this band can’t believe it’s been 40 years ago. They still sound great
Dayum!!! You guy's sound freakin' awesome AF! 🔥🤘
Mike... Bro!!! Vocals still sounding better than ever!!!
Heck man.. the band sounds killer! Serious props to all the fellas!
Mike Reno is a legend. Always loved his voice.
OMG amazing!!! He sounds so good! I smiled all the way thru it!
Mike Reno still hitting those high notes !!!! Mad respect !!! Saw these guys back in 1982 ( Cow Palace )
I've seen several (recent) performances by these guys and as a guy who is a singer and getting older myself, to see one of our hero's from back in the 80's, still being able to hit all the notes...It's impressive and I give him nothing but kudo's for it!!! I'm always like "MAN, he can still hit that note!!" haha
Watch the keyboard player help him "hit the note"
He's singing in a lower key than the original....common for most of the older bands doing originals live. Still good though.
@MrTwister3356 I so agree been a Loverboy fan since age of 16 I turned 48 this past Saturday love Mike Reno.
Its a backing track. Hes not really singing. Its pre-recorded. Look at 5:40. When you pull the mic saway from you that far the volume would not stay the same.
They're probably tuned down half a step to a full step, but ALL the older bands do that. Metallica, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest etc. I'm a singer/guitarist/bassist and 58 yrs. old and I feel like I've gotten way more control of my range, am able to sing higher with my natural voice with no falsetto and can do death/clean vocals in the last decade where before I couldn't do death vox at all. And I only practice when I have to record something. I think it's a combination of not smoking, making healthy choices and genetics, and some people just get lucky with the genetics. How Mike sounds so good in his current state is beyond me, but wow. Good for him.
Anyone can sing like that still, from the 80's is Boss in my book! that's called a legend.
I love them just as much today as I did in 1981, when I first saw them in concert.🥰
Such an iconic and great song....they sound great live...
Love it👍👍👏👏
My very first concert ever was Loverboy. Quiet Riot opened for them. What a great way to be introduced to live music!!! Been hooked ever since and that was in 1983-84
True talent lasts. Love hearing this band sound so good and Mike's iconic voice. Damn he sounds amazing
Florida!!!!!!! Rockin' on!!! LOVIN' U!!!!
Now these Canucks are geezers but still pullin' out a decent sound - cheers, mates > 'preciate-cha!
The band sounds incredible and so does Mike Reno! A lot better than other singers from back in the day!
Its a pre-recorded track hes lip syncing.
You think so??
Except for maybe Tommy Shaw…
@@philh9238 Yes. When he got to the high part (which I was waiting to see) he did not physically sing that. So he is lip syncing. Why would you doubt it. It's industry standard these days. I wouldn't pay money to see a band do karaoke. Loverboy the band is awesome but if you can't pull it off, don't do it. I think these guys are talented enough that they could retool all of there songs to within their abilities and write new stuff.
Vince Neil sounds amazing these days
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That’s talent. He rocks it & brings us all along with him. Such a great voice for his age & brings us right back to the 80s.
Much better than most singers from the 80’s and older than Vince meal
Voice hasn’t wavered in all those years; brilliant execution Michael and Band!
One of the best intros..... I remember when they were just getting started and then exploded. Saw them live early 80s and was not disappointed.
Amazing! This guy still sounds great! Most artists his age have already lost their voice or sound completely different but he sounds great
😆
He may or may not be actually singing here.
Wow . Loverboy still sounds as good as they did when I was a child.... I was never a huge Loverboy fan, but now have massive respect for them .
68 years old and still making GOOD LIVE music. Way to go Mike and Company.
Yes! Their sound is still incredible after all these years!
Tough to watch however. I'm 70 and they could be better fit to keep on rockin.
Agreed! 👍 But, Hey... My Surprise they are doing it. I'm not that old... ("Yet."). Lol. I, Am wanting to get something going. I, Miss playing. As long as I, Can load my own gear. I, May as well..? I, Keep running into Twenty year olds that have no Clue... And, Want to Start with Original songs... By THEM. Lol. I, Know where to Start. 🍻✌️🕊️
Haha with the bands that are touring these days 68 is Young
Mike needs to step away from the pork chop.
It's the camera it adds Five Pounds.
Oh my goodness, I loved them then and adore them now! They may not have the looks but they still have the most important part - the sound. They still hit the riffs, the key notes and love what they're doing. This just makes my heart so happy.
As it was getting closer to the time for that high note, I was positive that Reno would do like most vocalists do when they can no longer hit it. Point the microphone towards the audience. I was STUNNED when he actually hit it! And they played the song in the same key as the studio version.
they are tuned down a key. everybody does it.
He freaking rocked it!!!!!!!
What an awesome thing to see all these years later. Makes me proud to say I was a child of the 80’s. What a great memory. Thanks guys.
Mike Reno sounding damn good as he ever has! And I know it can't be easy trying to perform in that hot and humid Tampa air, either! Props to him and the entire band!
Yeah that weather’s gotta be brutal
Feels like temps here in Tampa 100-110 daily - damn impressive!!
Yeah a little sweatting will do him good
He got a little flat on that last scream but honestly, I would start coughing up a lung so I don’t care, I d b running for a cold one 2 minutes in
A classic from my youth…..And Mike Reno can STILL SING 🎤 ……. Friken awesome…. I couldn’t stop smiling... slamming drums , rocking driving guitar..... just frikin awesome.......
Seems like yesterday. I graduated high school in 80, right when this band was new and hitting it big. This is one of the few bands who really reproduces their recorded sound on spot when live. They sound great here!
I've heard stories about headliners refusing to tour with them because they sounded so good.
Ahh 1980!!! Awesome times!!!
Dude's are playing without backing, and sounding great!! Reno still sounds on point! Hell Yeah!!
Opening act....no time
His voice is still great! As soon as he starts singing you know who it is.
2:54 clearly singing to a backing track.
@@alfromplymouth Yes, it's clearly a sample triggered by the keyboadist. However, I'd cut the singer a little slack because notes like that are almost impossible to hit properly at his age.
@@michelforest6329 I was pointing out one comment in particular that said no tracks, I disagreed, I have zero problems with tracks, I am 58 and a musician, so I am familiar with the effects of aging on everything, Again, non musicians dont always know what is up, but if a 70 year old sounds like he did 40 years ago, there is a reason.
Those drums like clockwork and his voice still rocking
That song kicks sss, i have always liked that song👍😎🎉👏👏👏👏
It’s been interesting see our music heros age. It’s not pretty but it is amazing to see who’s still got it now. Mike Reno and Mickey Thomas are 2 singers who can still bring it.
You got that right, Mickey Thomas is totally incredible!
Mickey Thomas sounds phenomenal as ever and he's in his 70s!
I seen Mickey Thomas at a race track in Quincy IL years ago with three other bands Molly Hatchet and Little river Band were two of them cant remember the other he played third in line and when he was done the crowd was fired up .. Molly Hatchet had no chance to follow that show and didn't hit the stage for over an hour after Mickey was done..
Peter Gabriel still sounds phenomenal as well
Fred CF Turner from BTO still sounds Great along with PAUL ROGERS from Bad Co
I love to hear the audience singing every single word!
Color me impressed... his voice sounds just like I remember growing up & hearing it on the radio!
*ABSOLUTELY STUNNED!!!!!!!!! Loverboy is my era, although I've never seen them live before. I've only heard this classic on the radio ever since then like the rest of the world. I happened upon this recent video of this live performance - and Mike Reno's voice today STAGGERS ME! It's SO INCREDIBLY POWERFUL AND EMOTIONAL! BETTER THAN EVER! It makes me search their new releases LIKE BEING A WHOLE NEW FAN!*
I remember when it came out. Clearly life happened, but they’re tight and unpretentious, and having as much fun as we are. His voice is bloody good. Good for you guys!
Considering their age, especially, they sound great. I am disgusted at all the weight jokes aimed at Mike, who has struggled for years. Cheap shots and uncalled for. How would those people feel having their looks made fun of? Keep it up, Loverboy ❤️
He can still tear it up in 106 degree heat. Damn impressive
quit looking for problems that aren't there. I haven't seen one post besides yours that mentions weight. Good God did you even read the posts or just assume?
F the haters. They kick ass!
Oh, please..he has a ton of $ for a trainer etc. He's a lazy porker, no excuse.
Yeah that sht is weak
Oh man was that good. I'm just a few years younger than these guys. Its inspiring to see them still rocking all these years later at such a high level. Great song.
Enjoyed seeing and hearing them Apr. 30, 1982 in Sudbury Ontario Canada, 42 yrs. ago. I lived in Elliot Lake Ont. and a friend and I were blown away by the two shows. The warm up act for them was a performer somewhat new on the scene ; Brian Adams ... loved both shows and these guys look and sound great still. Thanx
This was the last song in their set when I saw them open for Journey in 1981....I was 9 years old....Im 51 now. Its very sobering at how our Rock icons have and are aging, I have to remind myself alot that the 80's wasn't 10 or 15 years ago lol. Its MUCH further back! Regardless, Kudos to these guys for still getting out there! And not a bad performance all things considered 🤘🏻
I just turned 51 too brother. class of '90 going strong 💪
Lol…I’m 52 and 80s feel like yesterday. Crazy how the perception of time changes as you get older. Stay healthy brother!
@@ApriliaRacer14, yes it is hard to come to grips with the fact it's been 40 plus years. Saw these guys a couple of times back in the day. I'm 62 now and want so bad to be back there in the late 70's and early 80's. I miss those days so f**king much.😢
@@gregggoss2210 Much better times and justifiable in saying that given current state of affairs in the US.
I was 8 years old in 81. Remember that time like it was yesterday..yes..very surreal to see these guys from all the bands back then aged like they have . Yeah..I have to remind myself that it wasn't 10 years ago..42 years...and it's hard to swallow that fact. I miss that era so much.
Awesome to see these guys up there and sounding this damn good after so many years and still enjoying it all. Great job boys...
I was blown away by the Get Lucky cassette I got from Columbia House back in the day. (You know you did it too!) Did anyone tell the band that it's 40+ years later and they aren't supposed to sound like they just stepped out of the recording booth?! AMAZING!! Proof positive that you don't need to be in your 20's with a 28" waist to perform like a true rock star! Total Wayne & Garth move - - - "We're not worthy!!" Incredible!! Blown away - - again!!
Columbia House? Lol. Nobody ever ripped them off. Thanks for the memories
I was there ❤I loved lover boy when I was 18 back in 1982 ❤
Same here! 😅
Me too🎸
Mike Reno just killed it on vocals. Last time I saw them live they were headlining and Dokken was the opener.
The band killed it back then and is still killing it after all these years.
Bravo!!!
nice double bill! when?
Sorry but he is not really singing. Its a backing track.
I saw that same Tour. Loverboy/Dokken. Great show. Love George Lynch but Loverboy sounded great. Heres to ya Mike and Co. Keep on rocking in the Free world.
Not bad... Not bad at all. Pushing 70 or close to it and still belting it out!!! 🎉🎉🎉
@@Kumacidefpv- Nope. Loverboy doesn’t use backing tracks! They don’t have to because their actually real musicians.
Great job guys...we're all a little older and yes, physically changed but dude, Mike's voice is on the money of your youthful days....😮😊
His voice is so strong!! I love seeing these bands still performing!
Almost brings tears to my eyes hearing the crowd blow up when he absolutely slays the signature note he belts out. Rock on with your bad ass self, sir. Thanks for reminding us all that age is a number and time is bullshit.
