Summary:
More than three decades after the release of their debut A&M album in 1975, the Tubes have never received the recognition and attention from rock historians they truly deserve. They have always been a cutting edge band, and the best material in the Tubes' repertoire has been able to melt quirky humor, intricate musicianship, and radio friendly pop hooks into a memorable blend. They have always been known for putting on an incredible live show, spearheaded by front man Fee Waybill's vaudevillian stage charisma.
At the end of the day, however, the Tubes' "in-your-face" theatrics were their greatest virtue and their biggest liability-when the Tubes became trapped by an unprofitable stage show they had developed, they went barebones and decided to focus only on the music. Unfortunately, no one was all that interested. The indifference caused the breakup of the band in the mid-1980s, and though they tried to re-group in 1987 without Waybill, it wasn't until a new deal with BMG imprint Radikal Records in 1995 that the core line-up finally reformed.
This show was staged at Winterland in the band's hometown of San Francisco, a few months before the release of their self-titled debut album in June of 1975. There is no visual aid here, but it should provide a good idea of Waybill's over-the-top showmanship with a litany of characters (which included a drug-hazed rock star named Quay Lewd). This is a short set, clocking in at just under 30 minutes, but clearly demonstrates the vivacious onstage energy of the Tubes at an early point in their career.
😊sooo glad I grew up in the 70's! Best times!❤
Never tire of hearing white punks on dope, love this performance, hope it doesn't get taken down again.
It's amazing to watch the progression of this song through the years. Never boring; never disappointed!
I will never recover from this concert ..thank the lord
Dang straight from a Cali Girl.
Serious greatness.
I was 16 or 17 years old and from Akron...Tubes were up in Cleveland Ohio. I sort of knew how to take 77 up into Cleveland. Took my buddy and we got up there and found the concert hall. Drank our butts off on the way and when we got there in the car and went in and bought some acid from the most f up dude we could find and I remember hot chicks dancing along with Fe and one heck of a show. The best T-shirt...big splash THE TUBES that was squirting out of the bottom. First major concert in Cleveland. 2nd was DIO at couple months later and both were friggin mind blowing.
Oh, this is great!
G-D I was 15 and I still am a " WHITE PUNK ON DOPE!".
I was 22 💨 😶 & I'm goin' back on the clinic in 2 wake-ups
"What do you want from live" their best album ever..wish i was there!!!the stage show must have been amazing!
I saw this show in Harvard Square in Cambridge MA, around this same time. What a fucking great show, needless to say I miss the hell outta those days.
I should've....I was old enough back then. Blown opportunity but I saw some other good shows ;). And I miss those days days too!
Pure Genius.
Their LIVE album is one of the best albums I've ever heard. Wish I had seen their show.
I saw them when that LP first came out at Vets Memorial Columbus ,Ohio. A buddy of mine called the radio station and got free tickets. No one was there, no one knew who they were. SAHB, Sensational Alex Harvey Band opened for them. Couldn't have been no more than a couple hundred people or so.
I was there too!!!!! One of the greatest shows ever...between Alex scrawling Vambo and Quay Lude throwing pills (candy) into the crowd... Being from Cleveland I was well aware of both of them
Fenomenal
Feenominal
Quay Lewd! Hellllll yeah!
perfect. such early footage and totally coherent lyrics
The 714 guitar. Perfect
The guitar in the end is unique in this performance! WOW!
I was there it was different to say the least,they put on quite the show.
I might have been there, saw em a few times at Winterland. WPOD
RIP Vince Welnick

Wild!
Love this simpler stripped back version, great bassline!
WITH PLATFORMS!! 6"9!!
I bought the first Tubes album in '75-76. "White Punks on Door" was well received in my group of friends. But I'll be damned if I can remember why we liked THAT song so much. And I'll be a monkey"s uncle if I can remember who those friends were.Shit, I can't really remember much about the '70s, or the '80s, or the '90s, dammit what year is this? What is dope? Who the hell is Fay Waybill? Why am I typing words on this thing? What IS this freaking thing called..........
70s. Once was enuff.
Classic…..
awesome set. . had to hurt.
Epic…..
This is not a lady it is a male lead singer Fee Waybill who is performing. Man I wish I could have seen this show.
He could still be a lady.. he seems quite well mannered.
@@@DavidMorashIf Quay Lewd(Fee Waybill) is a lady the i am a the monkey from space who impregnated Liz Taylor .
WPOD - Look at me.....saw this show in 75.
Youth now a days have no clue what they missed out on.
Taking Quaaludes of the market was a bad idea. Our country would be a better place now if that didn't happen.
The miltowns, seconals and Dilaudids were much better.
It's always 714 somewhere

Still miss the Ludes☹️
Epic……
FEE RULES !
This might be better than 'Earache My Eye'
Quay Lewd!
Oh hell.
I only knew the version Nina Hagen Band did, actually I have just discovered it was not a song of hers and was a cover of this! Amazing. Both are great, she screams great like a bitch she is.
Is that re styles as the nurse?
Does anybody know if this was a wig or if it was Fee Waybill's real hair here?
Teenage had a race for the night time
Spent my cash on every high I could find
Wasted time in every school in L.A.
Getting loose, I didn't care what the kids say
We're white punks on dope
Mom & dad moved to Hollywood
Hang myself when I get enough rope
Can't clean up, though I know I should
White punks on dope
White punks on dope
Other dudes are living in the ghetto
But born in pacific heights don't seem much betto
We're white punks on dope
Mom & dad live in Hollywood
Hang myself when I get enough rope
I can't clean up, though I know I should
White punks on dope
White punks on dope
I go crazy 'cause my folks are so fucking rich
Have to score when I get that rich white punk itch
Sounds real classy, living in a chateau
So lonely, all the other kids will never know
We're white punks on dope
Mom & dad live in Hollywood
Hang myself when I get enough rope
Can't clean up, though I know I should
White punks on dope
White punks on dope
Brilliant. Covered bu Nina Hagen ( "Ich glaub TV" )...
Vintage
Was that lady OK?
I'm not sure yet ; maybe I found a way to hear MY MUSIC again. Many years of groups around the world are now being heard by thieves who probably didn't know what they had. To me music is indescribable, personal, and I guess everyone gets ripped eventually? People are getting a little desperate, though.
This was a punk ass song before the word was used
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
did the bassist piss off the camera man? guy is cranking like a freight train and barely gets a shot on camera?
Cameramen hate bassplayers
Um, sir…Fee is too much of a special to not have the attention, Roger is pleasing to look at (or I thought so when I was 13), Prairie is by far the most talented drummer the world has seen, and Rick was a shy person…sooooo there you have it, that’s why no bass player in frame
I m psychic. everyone headed to federal fire camp and planting 1000 trees. Thank you for your compliance. Crescent Halitat Jihad. 5tt-011
Crappy sounding guitar
Better than any Alice Cooper performance…..
Ooh, not sure about that, both brilliant!
@@lorrainebennett7528...talk to you later....love the Tubes but not EVEN close to aLicE cOoPeR...nice try
just Incredible
