@@flowerforsyte5671 The best decade? You mean high inflation, high unemployed rate, economy was in poor shape. 90s was much better period for America but I get you, you were young that´s why it is the best decade now you have grown old and it sucks. I completely get you. Well. These times are gone and you got to live with it
Well, the world has become evil. Especially the West. Live with it. Young generations are uneducated, brainwashed, pampered and just simply dumb to do anything real or important. It's the money. Too much money ruins everything. You can thank for Coca-Cola and hamburgers.
It's not a very comfortable song for her to sing, she swaps between falsetto and regular often as we all do when a range just isnt ideal for our voices, but that's what makes the parts she can really lean into so special. I adore this song, love playing bass and singing background harmonies to it.
lol, this is untrue. Pop artists have been using backing tracks and lip syncing since the late 60s/early 70s. It's been a thing since over two decades before this video was filmed.
@@douglasholdenjr.45The studio track is definitely playing. The time is distinct to the track. I’ve watched enough videos of this song to see they used the recording and played to it while Aimee actually sang the vocals live. The fills and vocals are really obvious if you’ve heard the track a thousand times.
I am absolutely in love with "Queens of the Summer Hotel" right now. It was supposed to be the soundtrack to a shelved Broadway take on "Girl, Interrupted" (or so I read). There are some absolute gems on there ("Suicide is Murder" was an immediate favorite) - Aimee's confessional voice and lyrics, a playful use of time signatures and instrumentation, it's just so good - the best (IMO) songs and performances since Magnolia/Bachelor No. 2. I used to wonder why artists like Aimee Mann weren't more well-known - but then you look at what IS popular and think, "oh, right, I get it - this is ponderous, emotive, and deep. How can that compare with 'WAP'?!?!" I'm just glad that music like this exists.
I was to in 1987.i was 10..i was born 78..october...this was one song i remember..love her voice.and this song stuck out ...belive ....those were the days..love my 80s..this is my jam..thanks agin besafe..thursday .jun.3. Lupo
I graduated high school 1986 married my high school sweet heart in 1988 I just turned 55 March 24th and my wife turned 57 March 19th we are always reminiscing about high school and all the fun that we had growing up listening to all this wonderful music in the 70s and 80s 🇺🇸❤🙏💃🕺👏👏
Wow, the Google algorithm delivers yet again...I was at that show...I am 3 rows back, front and center somewhere in this video...What had happened is a rain shower delayed the start of the show...many left because of the rain...I was in the back...being soaked didn't bother me and was/am a HUGE fan of Aimee Mann...So I was able to just keep moving forward as people left because of the rain...by the time the show started I was 12 - 15 ft away. Still remember this like it was yesterday, what voice, what an artist...
Me too. In one of the long gone row homes to her left behind the restaurants. The entire area and bandshell constructed in 1930s. 26 at the time. A grad student at Embry-Riddle. Daytona was home for five years. What a world then. Thought life went on forever. Blesses to have lived through the 70s, 80s, 90s. Looking back is far greater now than forward.
I remember watching this on MTV - all of the "big" kids living it up (I was only 15). BTW, was the synth not coming through only on TV or was it turned down too low altogether?
I was a cook at Cane's in Mission Beach, San Diego and got to hang with BadReligion after the crowd left: free drinks; great conversation and an autograph. Of the famous actors and musicians I've run into, I've never asked for a photo or autograph until that night. I LOVED MUSIC BACK THEN!
God, I'm so blessed to have experienced the eighties. That was the greatest decade. There will never be another time like that. MTV rocked. Head Bangers Ball all night.
Eric the 80s was a dream within a dream the melodic Synths , the Guitar riffs and poetic lyrics will never leave us the greatest decade in music history.
@Eric Bock • the 80's were damn good but I came of age in the late 60's & early 70's and trust me there was no greater music than that, I saw live some of the greatest bands some of which are still around today. 80's yes, 70's Hell Yes !
There was always something very special about MTV Spring Break performances back in the late 80's, back when MTV used to play music, amazing music for that matter.
It was a great time to live in the area at that time BECAUSE of the shows. I saw so many great bands when they were new, from Big Country to Bangles to R.E.M. to 10,000 Maniacs to Golden Palominos to this very show. Not like us locals would ever be caught dead at that nasty tourist trap of a beach for any other reason.
Not really; they played music but it was the same shit over and over. The rotation of bands and tracks was pretty limited and only to what the record companies dictated
Gem? Wtf. I was a major DJ in the 80s and 90s. Her performance is off key at best often. No power in the voice at the end. She sucks and I feel bad for the band
bought an 82 Tbird, had a demo cassette in it, had like 6 songs on it, im sure this was right before their 85 release, good car, good music, good friends and great times
Yeah, I've mentioned that in the other video live at the Ritz. I love the guitar sound. Not too heavy but crisp. Not too many notes played, just here and there.
Wow… they nailed it .. what a killer live band. Too bad that era of real music is dead and buried. If you want real music played by real musicians, get out to the clubs and support them .
Aimee Mann seems to have been born to be a rockstar, with her model-esque facial structure, her 6 ft tall frame, topped with that sexy platinum blonde punk style hair. And that soothing voice ...
I couldn't agree with you more I just love her to death and I did not know she was 6 feet tall and someone else on here said that this song is about breaking up with the drummer what a dick why he must have been but anyways this goes out to Amy man you're my sweetheart baby
Apparently the drummer had a crush on her and that's it. The song "Voices Carry" lyrics were changed by the big corporation because it was about 2 women. Not a man and a woman. Aimee did refuse a deal that, this song, with the original lyrics, would be performed by Alison Moyet. She kept it for 'til tuesday and changed all the "she" with "he" and some other words here and there. Basically, it was a song about lesbians. I can't confirm Aimee sexual orientation and its none of my business.
I love how all the musicians own their space. They are all doing something different, but balanced and complimentary to the whole song. Give me the 80's or give me head.
Till Tuesday was awesome Those were the years when MTV Was about music videos Now MTV is about bullshit I would pay all the money in the world to go back to the late 70s or Early 80s
Yup !! GK RB 400s, Guild/Hartke 4x10s JC 120s, really good synths... really good music with a really good sound being played live by really talented inspired good looking musicians who totally understood fashion as well, this was the 1980s........ So glad that was my era
I remember exactly where I was when I heard it in 1985. I was at a church retreat or after Sunday school summer swimming, sports, whatever day. And there was a gal there who I became attracted to simultaneously with this song. I was in grade school. She wasn't interested in me though heh. Very obvious I think maybe. I was too "unchurched," too I guess bad or in "darkness" being a non-church-goer. It was my cousins' church and I'd spent the night and therefore had to go with them next morning.
And I love Aimee Mann. Voices carry never gets old and I hear it played on occasion on Baltimore's 102.7. The '80s was a great time great musicians, and when MTV actually played music.
Growing up in the Boston area 1980’s 1890’s… there were talented female singers. Aimee, Laurie Sargeant, Julianna Hatfield, Kay Hanley, Mary Lou Lord… these ladies rocked and were beautiful! Where’s my time machine?
She dropped out of Berekly college of music because she didnt want to sing the way they wanted her to.I remember her Punk band,Young snakes before she went pop.
amiee mann, so ahead of her time... I was 6 when this vid came out... I still knew even then, the dude's attitude wasn't OK.... this saved me and showed me red flags on weird assss dudes that the first clue, RUN way....and I did, didn't always save me, but did on a couple of times..thank you aimee mann.. you've showed girl power, women's worth, etc, you are my hero :) :) :)
I was there, back when MTV actually played music and Spring break was an all out free for all great time, you could drive on Daytona beach at night, I feel bad my son didn’t get to enjoy all that we had.
![NIN: "Cars" with Gary Numan, London 7.15.09 [HD]](/img/n.gif)
The magical, blissful, fantasy 1980's.
The best decade in American history.
You're damn right!
This is amazing. She wasn’t just a commercial rockstar or popstar. She had actual legit talents as a musician, and a vocalist.
Her Christmas album is amazing
She AND Michael
I love watching her on stage … her moves …. a real performer
When the world was great….
We had no idea, did we? We thought it would never end….
Yup. The magical, blissful, fantasy 1980's.

When Mtv was all about music. Now it's another CNN.
Aint dat duh truff
It still exists!? last time I saw it was all shows about pregnant teens
One word, perfection. Never recognized for the talent they were.
Strange song.love it😊
Take me back to 1987, one of the best years of my life, 24yo... I miss the eighties!
Same feeling, 22 in 87....
37 in ‘87 got a divorce…But I loved the music. Teenage sons to rock out with😊
For sure!
23yo in 87 - splitting the difference. I miss my motorcycles, my Dad and much greater freedom than today.
Diddo
Her smile singing this song adds new meaning to this performance.
Yes! She’s conquered the world and loving it . And why not ? We were loving it too.
Probably one of the best live versions of a song and vocal performances I've heard,I miss those days so much
Amazing!!
Aimee Mann is still fantastic. Check out her many albums.
Well, the world has become evil. Especially the West. Live with it. Young generations are uneducated, brainwashed, pampered and just simply dumb to do anything real or important. It's the money. Too much money ruins everything. You can thank for Coca-Cola and hamburgers.
The NYC 1985 performance is better
Are you nuts. She's terrible. Off key and off time a lot. With 0 power she portrayed she had on the record.
You are just a butt kisser
Omg she is so beautiful
@Lennox1492 . A genuine “Stunna”.
She’s the whole package. The real deal.
I would give anything to go back to the 1980s arcades music mtv happier times.
Yeppers. We had a blast . Life has gone by way too fast,for sure.
And yes definitely happier times,for me at least.
And less sub humans
2024 and still an epic song. Talent beyond belief
This runs circles around so many singers in the last 30 years.
Back when MTV actually played music videos.
Was at a party when it started, jr in High School!!!
I know what you mean man. I miss my MTV.
Agreed
such a shame they blew themselves up but it is what it is.
Facts
I cant believe how blessed I was to grow up with this music in the 80's...and WOW can this girl deliver live...WOW WOW WOW !!!!!
God damn, that was cool.
Robert Holmes is such an underrated guitar player. Beautiful song!
Agree
Thanks for clarifying, for the longest time I thought it was a chick.
@@aaronquy1968same, until about 2 years ago.
Talent to match her beauty. What more can I say?
Her voice live on this so much better. The look, the voice, the moves, the attitude. What a rock star.
A true rock star... Had it all...!!!
What a difference a couple of years made...
It's not a very comfortable song for her to sing, she swaps between falsetto and regular often as we all do when a range just isnt ideal for our voices, but that's what makes the parts she can really lean into so special. I adore this song, love playing bass and singing background harmonies to it.
like her voice on the album better but still strong emotional and great range.
Goddess
Back when pop musicians had the talent to play live without lip syncing or pre-recorded tracks
Plus during a thunderstorm.

You are correct
Aimee Mann......what a beautiful woman! And that voice! All while playing a mean bass line. This was my young adult life......what a great time!
This was in 87. I was 10 yo. It wasn't too many years after this that I started jamming to this song. Awesome
I was to in 1987.i was 10..i was born 78..october...this was one song i remember..love her voice.and this song stuck out ...belive ....those were the days..love my 80s..this is my jam..thanks agin besafe..thursday .jun.3.

Right on, right on, right on
When music was performed by musicians
No keyboards???

Missing persons, Til Tuesday, The Pretenders, Pat Benetar, Souxie, blondie...I love Female New Wave Bands, and there's many more
Man this was the 80's great hair great variety of bands best decade.
For some reason she always has a look to her like if she was searching for something she knows shell never find. A sad haunting look.
Her Mother abandoned her when she was only 2 or 3 years old.
Thats an interesting description, and very observant, now that I think about it! 👍
The sad haunting look comes from when you are being audited by the IRS
Never knew this. Did she find her or ever knew her when she was older?
She's really feeling the pain
april 2022..one of those songs that you turn up louder..
One of the gems of the 80s.
Gem? Wtf. I was a major DJ in the 80s and 90s.
Her performance is off key at best often. No power in the voice at the end.
She sucks and I feel bad for the band
Aimee Mann is amazing!
Blown away that she could sing that well live...
bought an 82 Tbird, had a demo cassette in it, had like 6 songs on it, im sure this was right before their 85 release, good car, good music, good friends and great times
Man! I miss the 80, s Oh the pain of fading away.I should have burned out back in the day when I had the chance.
I just loved this piece .
I just love Aimee
She had it, and she still does. One of the great ones.
The guys were 😍😍😍
2022 and this song still fucking rocks.
Back when MTV stood for Music Television! Good Times!
This song just never gets old.What a great live performance in front of an adoring audience.And how do you describe Aimee Mann? One word:incredible!
One word: *SIBILANT!*
Bring back MTV! And vidoes/ live performance only!!!! No reality suck shows!!!!! Oh yeah.....the V Jays too😅😅😅😅
I was blessed to be there that day! Cold(for Daytona) and rainy. I didn't remember that many people there. Seemed like I was there by myself.
Brings back great memories
I always liked their guitarist’s style and tone.
Me too. Robert was and still is one hell of a guitarist. He never got the credit he deserved.
Robert Holmes
Yeah, I've mentioned that in the other video live at the Ritz. I love the guitar sound. Not too heavy but crisp. Not too many notes played, just here and there.
3:22 & 3:49 the voice of a friggen angel. Love Aimee
Wow… they nailed it .. what a killer live band. Too bad that era of real music is dead and buried.
If you want real music played by real musicians, get out to the clubs and support them .
Beautiful band "Til'Tuesday,
Great musician, beautiful lead singer Aimee Mann" love her! She is so Beautiful
Too good
Two thumbs... to whoever recorded the sound for this concert. holy shit
I think it's partly the heavy, heavy humidity hanging in the air (and the quad twelves in the Marshall cabinet behind her)
@@brennangirl could very well be!
Wow. That was a very good live performance. She nailed it.
Mann....what a voice....wow.....sweet....80s....
Aimee Mann seems to have been born to be a rockstar, with her model-esque facial structure, her 6 ft tall frame, topped with that sexy platinum blonde punk style hair. And that soothing voice ...
I couldn't agree with you more I just love her to death and I did not know she was 6 feet tall and someone else on here said that this song is about breaking up with the drummer what a dick why he must have been but anyways this goes out to Amy man you're my sweetheart baby
John Tuttobene you should be thanking the drummer, if they didn't break up, we'd never have this perfect 80's gem
Yes ,one of my idols then. I tried looking the same!HA! Can't even come close!! ;)
She looked the part but too bad they didn't have more good songs
Apparently the drummer had a crush on her and that's it. The song "Voices Carry" lyrics were changed by the big corporation because it was about 2 women. Not a man and a woman. Aimee did refuse a deal that, this song, with the original lyrics, would be performed by Alison Moyet. She kept it for 'til tuesday and changed all the "she" with "he" and some other words here and there. Basically, it was a song about lesbians. I can't confirm Aimee sexual orientation and its none of my business.
She's beautiful then and now when I was 15 years old I fell in love with her never lost my crush on her
I love how all the musicians own their space. They are all doing something different, but balanced and complimentary to the whole song. Give me the 80's or give me head.
Till Tuesday was awesome
Those were the years when MTV
Was about music videos
Now MTV is about bullshit
I would pay all the money in the world to go back to the late 70s or
Early 80s
A beautiful woman with lots of talent... great.
2022...... I walk around with noise canceling earbuds and this song cranked !
I am 59 and still love this song!
Yep
This song is seriously underrated.
Cannot say enough great things about Aimee Mann's singing and songwriting abilities. An honor watching her career unfold the past 30+ years!
The whole album was great❤
The best of all Time...80s
Thank you Til Tuesday for your song..
Best time of my life, living in S.Daytona Shores on A1A in 1986, 87, 88, n MTV Spring Break,. Love this place! Good Times! :)
2019 spring break is a joke here in Daytona

Yup !! GK RB 400s, Guild/Hartke 4x10s JC 120s, really good synths... really good music with a really good sound being played live by really talented inspired good looking musicians who totally understood fashion as well, this was the 1980s........
So glad that was my era

Pure talent and real music! 👌🥰👉❤️80s new wave was awesome!
Her hair is perfect 80s at it's best.
