haha! Billy Zoom always played with that big shit eating grin on his face. Amazingly, Exene managed to stay on her feet in this performance. Good memories.
Gawd does this bring back memories. Last time I saw this was when it was first broadcast in the fall of 1980. Overruled new roommates who wanted to watch MASH rerun. Not even sure how I knew X was going to be on. The show was a CBS also ran against the Tonight Show and ABC'S Friday. It was the first time actually seeing what X looked like. Ah freshman year was fun.
X music that matters I'll follow the bed since 1979 when I heard Johnny hit and run Pauline then sole kitchen Ray manzarek of the doors used to play keyboard on it God Rest his soul what are the best live shows I ever seen
No kidding. I saw them during this tour in Philly. Afterwards I was standing out on Broad Street repeatedly wringing my shirt out, it just wouldn't stop.
Since this was a TV show, was the audience maybe told to keep it down? When I have seen them in recent years most of the audience is the age of the band and everyone is jumping up and down and dancing.
They were the greatest band of all time the early eighties they brought r&b and punk gateway the old rockabilly
To a bemused little kid growing up in Los Angeles,X,Adolescents,China White,The Bags,et al were charismatic as hell.It hasn't changed,really.
The single best (and most under-appreciated) American rock band since 1978.
LA's greatest band. And it's not even close
hmmmm, I'm a huge X fanatic, but I'll put Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magic by RHCP up against X,,,and it is close
@@jeffburrage Respectfully disagree.
yeah, huge fan as well. But! The Doors, the Eagles, Van Halen, the Beach Boys and the Peppers might have something to add to this discussion...
@@jeffburrage wrong sorry
@@lintelle2382 The Eagles? You just lost any argument about music
I love exene so much, for me she is just the all-time coolest woman in rock.
Why does this only have 1600 views? One of X's best live performances and one of their best songs!!
68,000 views six years later!
Because they suck?
I love Exene's doll; it sorta prefigured "Nightmare Before Christmas" by a dozen years or so. X rules!
One of the very best and smartest American punk bands. They always seemed to mean what they sang and played. Reminds me of the Clash.
billy zoom is the classiest guitarist ever - he always smiled like young eddie van halen
Like a crackhead Brian settzer
His shit-eating grin was hilarious. Slamming out the louder-than-a-jet-plane pain with a smirk!

Surprisingly god wish I was alive than
Thanks for finding this. Despite the sound quality it's Gold, because having something like this from 1980 is Important & Gold.
When X is so good even Anakin Skywalker likes them 1:13
that looks like nat fyfe
ROFL
Cillian Murphy
They are still together, all four of them, and on tour this summer. I am going. They still sound great.
Monday o5-22 in Houston. See you there.
On tour this summer 2022 with the Physedelic furs in America
@@miczic I already bought my ticket! Never too old to rock and roll!

Hi! Do you know if they're touring again? (I realise you wrote your message five years ago but I'm desperate to see them!)

ABC's Friday had DEVO!
major girl crush on Exene!
Amazing band...
Just truly ICONIC..
WOW!! Love it. 💗💟💗💟 what a great performance!
Thanks so much for posting this! It's the closest I'm going to get to see them as they never play live in the UK...
Astounding quality!
Other than the mono part and the tape glitch. Let's call it "pretty great" quality...
So young. But BZ still has his silver guitar
Great 👌 stuff!
“A beast caged in the heart of the city”

Great band awesome song!!!

I saw them 2 times in Vancouver. You would lose 5 pounds a show dancing your ass off. Great band!
No kidding. I saw them during this tour in Philly. Afterwards I was standing out on Broad Street repeatedly wringing my shirt out, it just wouldn't stop.
Hell yes! Thank you
They are AMAZING.
The days.....
Fucking great.
Back when sadobabies were the hot things to have!
Wait-is the girl in the shades photographer Mary Rat? She looks vaguely familiar.
good
half the audience is like WTF is this? half is WTF am I doing in a chair?
American punk at its zenith.
الة بشدة تخبل
Yayus Queen!!!!🌻💕♥️🎸
All of New York is a tow away zone😔
What show was this broadcast on?
You hate my older sister
And you burglarize her home...
Seems like they were surrounded by people who did not "get it."

Bastille Day much?
Great 👌 stuff!
