And if anyone can tell me who's doing the singing at the very end (cut off by the announcer), I'd love to know the man's name.

For being at the filming of the finest music video that ever was and ever would be.

Of course, based on prior experience, I can honestly say that if I's been there, very little would be left of it, except a vague impression of sound and love and movement and camaraderie -- and a distinct inability to find one's car in the parking lot, despite many hours on a semi-mystical quest.

Some people consider the fact that their youth consists almost entirely of the aforementioned "vague impressions" a bad thing. I chalk it all up to a very positive learning experience, and move on.

"See, I can have this box fly and flip across the screen, and it has another video clip playing inside the box! Ain't that cool!"

Too funny!

Karaoke?

http://youtube.com/watch?v=og1HAkjOuL0

By the by, New Order was hands down one of the very best concerts I've ever attended.

but I've heard they were great live

I had to go and find THIS!

http://youtube.com/watch?v=iH33RIfi2KI

and THIS!

http://youtube.com/watch?v=dp-4o0IodsE

Another blast from the past... MBV. Who knew they had a video?
http://youtube.com/watch?v=GB8nCE2EoIw

MBV vid was fab! The following is a personal favorite of mine ... for reasons that should be obvious when you hear it:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=IhNZ_MEqDyI

Saw those guys in San Francisco ... wow. I made sure to stay away from the brown acid just for good measure.

Gotta love Frank Tovey ... may he R.I.P.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=xGXBjwifubI

Oh and ... having perused your site I'm shamed to bits, photographically speaking.

Harrumph.

Carry on!

Those were the days...

Savatage - "Gutter Ballet"
http://youtube.com/watch?v=JC_XzaedYJs&feature=related

http://youtube.com/watch?v=hFF7jzVfSB0

let's us watch tv and have a couple'a brews aye?

:toast:

Gutter Ballet is one of the tunes included in the soundtrack in my head for my novels.

you should check out Jon Oliva's new project "Jon Oliva's Pain" (if you haven't already).. very epic, and much like the Savatage of old.

Somebody's Watching Me: http://youtube.com/watch?v=aD21JDMp86c

Michael Jackson was fantastic in his heyday -- I heard that this was the only song he ever sung backup for... is that right?

http://youtube.com/watch?v=a1sf2CzEq0w

Golden Earring - another song that just slams me back into my adolescence.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=_UO3PAQodYg

Justified and Ancient.

(p.s. I'm not so sure this is 80's but well ... your subject begged me to post thusly)

long haired heavy metal and hard rock dudes. I will be content. :D

Peter Pumpkinhead... kind of a liberal martyr, modeled after JFK
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWgC9KyHyRk&feature=related

And just pure fun...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Da9sc6YDBo

Almost a hit...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0invUXXsRAQ&feature=related

And maybe my favorite song of theirs...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KoWcbGMLTI

Just a few I remember- Not always the best song of the group either but.... I still love where the hell is Bill from CamperVB

Wall of Voodoo covering the Beach Boys

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KoWcbGMLTI

But no LL Cool J "Going Back to Cali"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8DD2C2_RzY

Not as good as the version by The Call, but pretty good nonetheless.

Edit: Here's The Call doing the song live: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=272T8hZUqcs

I had a big crush on the girl in the video though. It still makes me feel funny, though now I feel like a dirty old lady when I watch it, but I was about her age at the time. :blush:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=xZ7L6MUUrTc

The girl's pretty cute.

This girl was one of my 80's video faves:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=tknMjFKKm5c

From .38 Special's "If I'd Been The One"

I think she married Bruce Springsteen.

it's the 80's hair that fooled you. :-)

The girl doesn't appear much until about a minute and a half into it. If all men looked like Lou Graham I'd probably not want to be with one again. :scared:

Crazy Nights: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkIIScXJt3I

They make about as much sense as The Scorpions.

Loudness were actually pretty good live.

Right?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOCDoKsXjP0

:hi:

always thought this was bruce for years :P

:hi:

like Bruce. Great song, fair-to-middlin' movie.

Georgia Satellites: "Keep Your Hands to Yourself"

http://youtube.com/watch?v=my4lhkxLRjg

Fantastic guitar solos... did they ever do anything that even came close to this?

The video is pretty corny, although I like the part where the singer ducks the tree limb in the truck without stopping the lip sync.

But that whole album was pretty good.

I especially liked "Battleship Chains."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8b0y9GsJ80

:headbang:

One of the most underrated hard rock bands of the 80s.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=1efoeJCB1xc

http://youtube.com/watch?v=qeCfgcHO5Xs

A falsetto so high it hurts, but a great song.

The Supertramp guy.

This is the loong version of a fantastic song:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=nuSiEYGwcXA

http://youtube.com/watch?v=a8HQYmFTdN0

Heh. Who am I kidding? I flippin' loved it at the time.

Yeah.

I'm a dork.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=0R9_ZLxsmmg

'Twas difficult to figure which vid to afford ... I recommend checking 'em all out.

Mayhap I need a vacation?

Jello rocks, m'kay?

Gods I miss the Mabuhay Gardens.

For the record I moved to Minnesota in '89. I am not Carol King. I do not like the Earth moving under my fucking feet. R.I.P. apartment in North Beach.

(on edit: afforded a more complete vid dammit ... Jello for Pres!)

Bow Wow Wow- C30, C60, C90 Go http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73S8BypdlxU

Another Bow Wow Wow song 'cause one isn't enough. Do You Wanna Hold Me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7BwRL2yhGQ

Posted this one a few times before but always good for a listen. Just Ice- Going Way Back http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAiSpnYEVhM

Big Audio Dynamite- C'mon Every Beatbox http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2StULuRAOM (There used to be a high quality version of this but it got pulled and a week or so later this "official" version showed up from Sony looking like crap. The song still rocks though and has the bonus of Neneh Cherry dancing around.)

Danielle Dax- Big Hollow Man http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbmjjgTI-uM

And I'll finish up with some harDCore. Void- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yVQTq6wKfQ Minor Threat http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6vOiyMi8l0

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkGV2qJUouM

Most under-appreciated band EVER...

The video is pretty manic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sFK0-lcjGU

Also 'Love is a Stranger' by Eurythmics is awesome http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLwy2QuVOUE

Or maybe they did and I'm just too lazy to read the thread

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tZO94Mhfzk

Shelter. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Lsm8jYcdbk mmm what a crush I had on Maria McKee.

And can't forget this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJLHKcJdHXU&feature=related Pivotal to my youthful dysvelopment :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEwu3xwnxZU

I was thinking about this song last night. It's one of the first videos I saw on MTV.

In the middle of nowhere in the Negev Desert, crammed into a caravan, we looked forward to these two on the pop video show, via scratchy reception.

One of the best bands I've ever seen live. Sooooooo much energy.

Wow, only in the 80s ...

Excellent choice.
