Now I feel a part of my youth is gone forever. I used to listen to the Smithereens constantly! And I saw them live at an outdoor festival a while back. I remember Pats booming voice more than anything else. He had a voice like that. Then Nirvana came along and I listened to them nonstop. I tend to get obsessed with one band. But what I see they both had in common was great lyrics and melodies so I don’t regret listening to either band. Their music has held up. And now they are both gone and silenced. But the music is still alive! RIP Pat and Kurt
Sometimes I feel like I’m going crazy. How was this band even possible? You could make a valid argument they were at least one of the greatest American bands of all time
I remember seeing them live in Atlanta around this time period. The bassist, Mike Mesaros, was jumping around the whole time. Reminds me of a slightly more calm Flea. Great band and awesome live performers!
The Smithereens had a deal with Rickenbacker (or a distributor) so got some unusal ones to try. Jim: Rickenbacker 370 in snowglow and Mike: 4003 Blackstar. Pat's perservering with the 350. I don't think he even looked that comfortable with it, it looks all wrong to me. If you're going to have a 325 then have a 325.
Problem with a 325 is it's a much shorter scale length as it's a 3/4 size guitar. If you're used to playing a normal Gibson(24.75) or Fender(25.5), 20.75 feels very odd to play especially if your rhythm playing is even slightly heavy-handed as your chords will sound out of tune. That's my guess as to why Pat may have chosen the 350 to play here.

I’ll never understand why bands like this didn’t rise to the tip top instead of all the “other bands” in the 80’s. To me, THIS is rock and roll.
Same here, I thought they would be massive, but it never really happened, however still one of my all time favourites. Thanks for watching Denny.
I totally agree. Saw them six times, always great! Regret it wasn't sixty times!
The reason? 99% of people's music taste is utter shite.
I just revisited this and had not previously saw them performing House that we lived in. Awesome! Bowser hosting!!!
most times it's looks over talent
The late, great Pat Dinizio! Brilliant singer and songwriter! One of my favorites from him! Thanks for all the brilliant music!
RIP

Loved 'em from the moment I saw they Rickenbackers. What a great band, what great songs. There wasn't a dud on any record.
Sometimes I feel like I’m going crazy. How was this band even possible? You could make a valid argument they were at least one of the greatest American bands of all time
Certainly one of my favourite bands ever
Green Thoughts was one of the most flawless albums from start to finish that I recall from the 80s. Deserves to be immortal.
Pat is totally killing it in this performance. What a voice. Never to be replaced or forgotten. Miss you my brother.
Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂
what a good, underrated band-should be much bigger!
every song with rickenbackers are very good
Absolutely. Thanks for watching and commenting🙂
Byrds Beatles REM Petty Smithereens
I did a shot (Seagrams 7) with Pat once at a club in Pittsburgh. Cool guy. RIP.
I was 14 when I bought this album and I was wondering why no one else was listening to them. Awesome Rock n’ Roll band.
Thanks for watching and commenting, they were such an amazing band.
I can understand that wholeheartedly and I was living in LA. Outstanding and grossly underrated band.
Smithereens blew 80s music to smithereens. A mostly subdued singer. Driving drumbeats, original tunes...good tunes.
Epitome of underrated.
We need bands like this, today!👍😎🎸🎶
RIP PAT DINIZIO! Such a great band! Quintessential classic American rock only here folks! 🤲🏻
My High School Faves....So Glad i saw Them in 1988 MIAMI!!
A great time to see them, thanks for watching and commenting
What a great band...rock solid drummer
Great song! One of my favorites of theirs along with House we used to live in.
RIP Pat
Thanks for watching and commenting Dyn
The Smithereens, the 80's, only a memory now, (but a real good one!)
Thanks for commenting glad you enjoyed this video. I have much more from The Smithereens on this channel
A good voice and knowing how to sing are key to a successful band.
These dudes where so solid! Thanks
Couldn't agree more!
Glad I got to see them in 1990. RIP Pat.
100% one of the greatest bands of the 80s. Long live the Smithereens!
Nice to see you are finding other Smithereens video on this channel
Really tight band great players all, a Pat was one hell of a great rock song writer!
I remember seeing them live in Atlanta around this time period. The bassist, Mike Mesaros, was jumping around the whole time. Reminds me of a slightly more calm Flea. Great band and awesome live performers!
A top personal fave band back in the day -- excellent live music.
Pat was such a great singer
He was, just a great band, all perfect.
I can't believe dennis did the backing vocals
Live classic rock perfection from The Smithereens !!! Fantastic post thanks !!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Hello Scottish. It’s me Boo. Thanks for this. Man I miss Pat
It's a rickenbacker convention
The best kind of convention!
Love Jim's white rickenbacker
thanks I needed this
Glad you enjoyed it, I hope you also noticed the concert I just released from 1986
Great band,always loved watching the bass player bopping bouncing around in the music videos,good stuff 👍
Quanto amore per gli Smithereens. ❤️
Thanks for watching and commenting
Now we’re talking....
Kojonudos💙💙
Ma boyz
Something got messed up on the "Only A Memory" first run at the chorus. Only the harmony and not the melody vocal.
Yeah, I dunno what happened there.
I can barely see Dennis with all the foggy lights 😳
Fabuloso, una de mis bandas favoritas, 1990, escuché x primera vez.
Need to turn up the main vocals and speed it up a hair…
great
Have you got "Time And Time Again: A Celebration of Pat DiNizio"concert?
Im sorry Paul, I do not have that

@@msmoniz Rickenbacker might have wanted to promote the 350 too. I swap between my 325 and full length guitars a lot.
What late night show was this? I don’t know this Host.
Neither do I.
Especially weird given my insomnia.
Ross Shafer, the final host for The Late Show (1986-1988). Not to be confused with David Lettermans show which started a few years later.
And none of that in-ear monitor BS
He sounds a little like Joe Jackson 😆
ugh the sound hurts my ears! I can't listen to it because it just seems disrespectful to the song
If you have a better copy, then share it with us
@@ScottishTeeVee I sure wish I did. I'll just have to play the original over and over
