- Live At The Ritz, May 29th, 1986. Though none of the singles from The Call's Reconciled made a dent on the pop charts, the anthemic march "I Still Believe" and the galloping "Everywhere I Go" (with backup vocals by Jim Kerr and Peter Gabriel) both received significant AOR and college radio airplay. It significantly raised the profile of the quartet and their earnest, U2-like brand of rock.
Michael Been & The Call is one of the most criminally underappreciated bands ever!
Criminally...so well put, dude!😎
Yes !
This song still gives me chills. It's just amazing after all these years.
one of the greatest American bands ever...under rated...maybe...but their time will come...the music is just that good...RIP Michael Been
Reconciled was in my tape player every morning going to work for months (1986). Always seemed to make the day go better😎
Saw them in the late 80's. Man what a great concert!!
I've heard "Everywhere I Go" a million times and it brings tears to my ears still. Rest in Peace Michael Been. He passed away on my birthday and will remember him every year that I remain alive.
The Call has been one of my all time favorite bands since I discovered them back in the early 80's. I had a cassette of them...then when CD's came out, I bought their CD's....I love the band and Michael Been just had one of those voices that fit the music...he sang with feeling and emotion....he will be missed.....a true talent.
12 years after you made this comment I read it and add that my story with The Call was similar to yours. They meant, and mean still, the world to me.
love the Call ... still sounds good today
Gotta love the growl of that bass guitar opening riff. Michael Been was a tremendous bass playing lead vocalist.
Check out his son Robert Levon Been in Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. I’ve also seen a video of him playing w The Call singing I Still Believe. It’s like Michael is singing. Beautiful.
Did he not play lead early on for The Call? I am happy to be wrong, "The Walls Came Down" video made me think it was so. Certainly a band that caught and kept my attention as I went from college to career.
I worshipped these guys when I was in college. They were so wonderful. One of the most under-appreciated bands.
I saw The Call open up for Simple Minds in Memphis back in....1986 I think it was. I love this song. Takes me back to good times....
Great, inexplicably underrated band. Had the pleasure of seeing them live. They were magnificent.
@anovak66 The Call was indeed made of Christian players writing and singing Christian-themed songs. They were not, however on a Christian label. Christian labels at that time wouldn't touch this style of music. But these guys were the original Roaring Lambs, as far as I'm concerned.
This guy is the rock ballad king. Band is so good. I miss music like this
brings me back to my wife and the promises we made, and how I miss her. its my truth. I look for her everywhere I go all over the world. shes never there
This is amazing. I loved this band so much and I still listen. I can’t tell where they are playing here but it looks like a show I was at in the 80s. God this is nice. What a sad loss of Michael Been. He was awesome.
The Ritz, 1986. 👍🏼
@@1974dormouse thank you. That would not have been my show but it was the year I saw them at The Boathouse in Norfolk, VA.
Not a Christian BUT loved the Music and the sound of THE Call. The music moved me deeply. Sad for the loss of Micheal. Thank you for the memories!
Haha! I AM a Christian and I like the music too!
@@kevinlawson830 , To make my point clear Kevin. As an Atheist I don't care for the bands overall message. Which if you think of it like this; You like a band then you find out there is a thinly veiled Islamic message, you may still enjoy there music but that message of Allah does not sit well with you. I would guess? But we agree the CALL rocks!
@@Reason1717 yeah, we agree that The Call rocks.

great 80's band!
thanks for the share was at this show.
I love The Call so much! this is my favourite song of theirs!
I saw The Call when they opened for Tears For Fears back in the early 90's...they were awesome!
Rest in Heavenly Peace Michael Been!
xo
there are very few bands that give me such spiritual enlightenment and peace. The CALL never disappoints me on that front.Thank you to the late Mr. Been and all of its past members.
I was very lucky to see them live during their Red Moon tour in their home town in California. He was mind blowing on the bass
I love The Call!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I saw the Call three times, great band, great music. My favorite song "I don't Wanna". RIP Michael, and the Call.
12 years later, I find your comment and agree, I Don’t Wanna was and is so powerful a song.
Amazing band!!!! RIP.
Brings me back to the eighties.
Too bad I can't go back 4Real.
Thanx, dodgybizkit!
Dude,this song was a staple in my life in 1988..I freaking love your voice
god, i miss this decade. these guys were so cool....
Saw them in Boston when they backed up the Psyceledic Furs and at the Boston Garden when WBCN was doing those really cool concerts. Saw Hot House Flowers with them too. Thanks for the great video!
@anovak66 The Call was a great rock band that was led by a Christian. Their music is much more real and relevant than most of the "Christian rock" that I have heard, and I have been following Christian music since Larry Norman in mid-70s. I used to be in the Christian music industry as a seller, and the Call remains one of my favorite bands of all time.
So Love Them...❤❤❤
would someone please post a video of the entire 80s, so I can go back and relive them?
I think of 'Her' Everywhere I Go .... Good Memories of a Time Long ago. Thx 4 Sharing this.
Always liked this song .... RIP
I think of YOU everywhere I go....man great song--awesome bass...."take my hand"
Thank you for the inspiration, Michael Been. RIP
all this time. thought this was about some obsessed guy and plug in myself as the object of his desire. A classic top rotation
You did great work, Michael. Thanks for all the music. Rest in Peace.
Love these vintage basement tapes of The Call, Don't Be Shy , Keep'em coming dodgy ~
Great song R.I.P
I heard this in my dream and I had no idea who this was. Looked it up and here I am
some great bass player!!
These guys may be "christian rock". but their so good ...... they make me a believer. It's really hard to argue with their sound or their lyrics. I think they really get it. They're better than all the popes put together.
estos tipos la rompen.
this guys can rock......thanks for this video.
I first heard this song on the movie "Modern Women" in the begining... and then I heard it today on my SIrius radio.. it made me pause and think about this song and it clicked... lol awesome 80's sing... will always remember those times...
@dodgybizkit Oh no! I just happened to think of this song just now, for no apparent reason, I just thought, "I have to hear that," and this is the first I've learned of it. I'm sure sorry to hear this news. Rest in Peace, and rest assured you did wonderful things for the world, Michael Been.
We will miss you Michael.... Rest well...
This didn't slip into the mainstream for any other reason than it was very well written lyrically and musically, which is why most christian music stays within its own genre. Metaphors are much more interesting, something lots of christian music lacks.
great song!!
Rest Easy My Friend. You will be missed.
These guys were just too damn good. They weren’t “cool enough” and the religious tone of many of the lyrics turned the big wigs away. Ridiculously shameful. They were too good for us.
I could care less if the call had any religious leanings at all, they where a great band who colored my teenage years for the better. Thank you to them for their skill and craft.
May God bless you too!
This is a great post reminds me of my college days That bassist stole more girls from me.... nuts but I cant blame them
When I hear this song now, it reminds me of my last boyfriend Jonnie. He overdosed on a speedball. When I woke, rolled over to him to find him dead. He was 36 yrs. Old. I miss him Alot. This song is just Awesome. Thanks for posting it on here. Jonnie, I look for you, everywhere I go!!!!!!
So sorry for your loss Becca he is with the Angel's now🕊🔥👑('streetministries seven' goes live on youtube🔥)Godbless🙌 Jesus truly loves you and willingly gave his life for us in this sin filled broken world! he is coming soon as he said himself"As in the days of Noah so shall the coming of the Son of man be."Mathew24:37 Baruch Haba Hashem Adonai🕯
So *that's* why he goes, "Lord, I need you..."!! But for me, the "Christian" aspect doesn't really change things. It gives me insight as to what they actually meant, but doesn't make it any less awesome for me. I think most rock fans back then wouldn't have considered any religious links just because the music is too good (that guitar riff! that bass line! his singing!), and the content is not smug, preachy or self-righteous. Wouldn't it be awesome if churches had more music like this?
My desert island band.
This guy was the shit!!! RIP
If it wasn't for them it would be someone else. Right? No. They should have been broadcasted Everywhere.
Spiritual undertones
MeeYum🎉
@2:06 Jesus is sitting in the front row.
Haunting. I think of this song when I think of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
"My people are destroyed through lack of knowledge"Amen 👑🔥🕊(streetministries seven live on youtube)
I had no idea these guys are a Christian Band. Good thing: I probably wouldn't have given them a fair listening. But they're too good.
@bakersferry Oh my god !

@anovak66 Thank you
Michael Been:
Well, I try to write about my own life experiences, and I'm a Christian myself, so I write from that point of view. Although it wouldn't be the type of Christianity commonly practiced these days. I believe it's a vain presumption to think that all people in the world should believe what I believe or that it would necessarily be right for them. I only know that it's right for me. I'm not interested in selling religion; Christianity or otherwise.

@blzbub665 RAmen, brutha!
such a good hearted person was 100% a pain in the arse to someone..i assume they've poisoned him
usually I'd prefer a ballpeen hammer to the forhead than listing to ANY Christian Rock...OWWWW...However, the Call offered a Amazingly different sound in the mid-80s. I'd go see them today(without bible or related stuff).
is this a christian song?
Yes, they were a band with devout Christian faith.
@@tericarson5854 HalleluYah🙌👑🕯(streetministries seven on youtube🔥)
U2 cant hold a candle compared to the Call

Can't hear shit...
