Brent Bourgeois and Larry Tagg wrote a beautiful song called "dying to be free" that was on this album. I think it should have won a grammy. These two are so talented. I wish they were still making music together.
Awesome song and a pretty good "record" too. Had the pleasure in meeting these guys after they opened for Robert Palmer back in 1986. Brent Bourgeois was/is an awesome bass player.
I remember this was my favorite song when I was 12. I used to wait for it to come on the radio and it made me so happy! Many, many years later I typed a few line into Google and here it is again. Technology is magic at times.
I'm a Bourgeois Tagg fanatic, listen to their albums all the time and catch Brent when I can on Sundays. Just amazing music. Cheers for this video! :-)
I come back to watch this video every once in a while. I loved it then, I love it now, '80s hair and all, and I remain a Brent Bourgeois fan. He once wrote me the loveliest reply to a fan e-mail I sent him, which earned him points forever.
Ho-LY #$%*! I LOVE TH-cam! Just on a whim I searched this and I am DELIGHTED to see it up. I always really liked this album and ws sad that it dropped out of sight within months of getting released. Thank yooooooou for posting this and making my night! (Now if only someone decided to shoot and put up a video for "Electric Train"...; )
......don't know how this song slipped by me when it was out.....found it on here a few years ago......GREAT GREAT SONG...everything about it.........love it....
Spring Break 1986 & I was in traction at Angelo Community Hospital. This song was played nonstop in my hospital room. Was told to turn it down a couple of times by the nursing staff🤣🤣🤣
@abauminole I have this 45 too!!!! I was in high school, so I wasn't too far behind you. Unlike some of the other stuff I was listening to at the time, though, I think this song has aged very well and is still tremendous.
I used to see this band at Lord Beaverbrook's in Sacramento long before they hit big. They played very long shows and they were fantastic. I saw them at Club Can't Tell after their first LP was released and their show was much shorter -- kind of sad. As an aside, guitarist Lyle Workman is a very highly regarded session guitarist and has played on some amazing records since the demise of BT.
This band was amazing back when they played in Sacramento. I wish I could see them perform again. In addition to their own songs, they also did wicked covers of a couple of Beatles songs that melded together, Tomorrow Never Knows and Within and Without You, I think. And what was that "tall, tall grass," song? Was it a Charlie Peacock tune? And I wish there was a video of their "Electic Train."
This is my Favorite Bourgeois Tagg Song. I'm Trying to Get it on Playlist. Anyone know How to do that? Videos are often the Vision of the Director, which often has Nothing to do with the Band's song, per se, plus whatever is currently trendy in the vid arena.
The bass player is so annoying. Useless guitar solo that ruins the energy built up in the song. Why is the lead singer standing in front of keyboards that are never played?

Dying to be Free still makes me so sad.

Larry Tagg was the bass player
I worked with Brent in a rock horn band in 73. He use to amaze me with his perfect pitch.
Peaked as high as No. 62 on the US Billboard Hot 100 Charts in 1986. A great tune!
the most awesome Larry Tagg !!!

Brilliant piece of music that's as relevant today as it was in the 80's.

loved this song ever since i heard it---it gets no radio play but should
Larry Tagg's brother Eric Tagg sang lead and played Bass on Lee Ritenour's hit song "Is It You." Talented brothers

This song was so early 1986, and I would know since MTV played quite a bit back then.

Wow. Senior year in high school anthem. Great memories. Nothing better than riding around with friends on a Friday night BLASTING this...
Forgot about this song! One of my favorites from the mid-80s! Beautiful lyrics.

I remember them opening for Robert Palmer back in the 80s at the Holiday Star in Merrillville Indiana
This song is so 80's that it hurts. I mean, I like it, but those styles / fashions, haha!

oh, i loved this song, i actually had the video on VHS somewhere from back in the day, but i lost it ... thanks for posting!
my friend Lyle Workman adding the perfect tasty licks
Sacramento flashback wow. Opened for them once
me too

Been looking for this video for years! Thank you sooo much!
Wow, I loved them in high school! I had a crush on Larry Tagg. ;) This takes me way back, love this song.
Great song.

LOVE IT! its a great old song :3

Please post more videos - we love them down here at Guantanamo Bay. We're, um, huge Bourgeois Tagg fans, yeah.
I wish I could find a digital copy of this song WITH the guitar solo. All the 80s compilations leave it out.

That would be the album version. Both of BT’s albums just finally became available on Apple Music.
Brent was in my philosophy class. Crazy cat.

THATS MY ENGLISH TEACHER LMAO
fire...!
❣️❣️❣️
I remember seeing Lyle at Guitar Showcase in SJ.What a great band. What really happened on the tonight show, I heard that broke up the band
Why don't we both surrender....before we BOTH get burned......true..true true...lol💞💞💞🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
2:15 , sehr nett
Great Christian Song!
They weren't Christians, Brent later became one and turned to that for a career.
It's a great 80s positive song about peace instead of aggression.
Little bit early for the Christian thing. That was a good five or so years away for Brent...
Why isn’t this song on iTunes!?
That's a good question. Neither this album or "Yoyo" are available, but they definitely should be. Larry Tagg's solo stuff is pretty decent too...
I think Brent was finishing hight shool are just graduating during my first year of Collage and that was early 70's. Did you go to shool with him?

When did this song come out. I'm thinking late 80s because some of them are sporting a look that came into vouge during the early 90s.
Pretty sure 86. It was on heavy rotation for me when I was 12.
Came out in '86. I still have the album.
um, Larry Tagg was the bass player... :)
check out Turlock Undercover for some real hip stuff

Great song and I remember it vividly when it came out on radio, but I also remember this video and all its poseur BS. Ugh.
