@@mikejessup9304 The venue usually decides that, not the artist. SNL insisted on one way or the other through out the years. But sometimes the backing vocals were synched but the playing was live. You really got to keep track of the venue and the year to see how they were going to do things.
@@jamesa.2880 you're living in the past. I have no idea what pop stars you are referring to are "high pitched screamers". you could label Freddie Mercury and Whitney Houston that.
All of you people that got to see The Tubes back in their heyday are soooooo lucky. Hope you realize just how lucky you are. What a show this band put on!
Back when music was music....the Tubes still perform today with many of the original band members. Love this song! Fee is one of the best front men in the business!
After seeing them last night in San Francisco at The Masonic opening for The B-52s, The Tubes still have it. Fee brings new meaning to The Greatest Showman and still grabs your attention with both his voice and flamboyance in selling a song with this great band. Wonderful to see this performance in San Francisco nearly 40 years before to bookend the experiences.
The tunes of the 80's are the best of any era except maybe the 50's. I was in the Army when this was king.Yes , I'm old but I know great music when I hear it.Rap/hip hop was the death of music.How sad.
I was 30 years old and 83. We had so much fun. Everybody laughed and smiled and we were just dancing and in the bars all the time. The chicks were the hottest and the best ever. No cell phones no computers just eyeball to eyeball with great people and good times. No DEI no ding dong Democrats and no entitlement. Life was good. Great memories!
All of the musicians in the are praised, but the unsung hero is Rick Anderson (the bassist) who just kills it everytime and cements the all thing and make it sound great!
My friends brother, Vince Welnick, was their keyboard guy and also was the last keyboard player for the Grateful Dead till Jerry Garcia died. He later took his own life which added to the curse of the Dead's keyboard players.
Saw Fee explain the backstory to “She’s a Beauty” and how producer David Foster brought in Steve Lukather (of Toto fame) to write a song with Fee on the first album David produced for them. David, Steve, and Fee met at the studio and the result was their hit “Talk To Ya Later.” The next album he did the same thing and Fee and Steve wrote “She’s a Beauty.” Even though these were huge hits, the rest of the band was disgruntled because these songs were already finished without them and they simply had to learn them after the fact. The next album they had a chance to work with David Foster again, but even though Fee wanted to, this time the rest of the band refused. So they “fired” Foster, went back to their old producer, and had no more hits. Fee eventually left the band.
Very original sound....and solid musicians..I think they were ahead of their time...and did not get a chance to shine in the commercial cookie cutter world of music!
yumha38 Very true. Unfortunately, their cookie cutter/mainstream sound was very limited. They hit a creative wall and the studio loaned Toto to them in order to help them complete Outside Inside so they could fulfill their contract. From what I’ve heard, nearly every song on that album has Steve Lukather’s finger print on it..... basically Toto with Fee Waybill on vocals. The rest of the Tubes learned to play the songs during the final mix and in time for the tour to promote the album.
@@justincase1445 Well, sort of. Lukather/Foster/Waybill came in early before the rest of the band and completely created/wrote/recorded The Tubes two biggest hits. Talk To Ya Later and She's a Beauty. According to Lukather's book, that was the only playing he did on the two albums on which those songs appear. David Foster probably had a heavier hand and involvement in their mainstream success than any other single person.
2024 and listening. July 13th. I miss those days. I didnt think much about it, because I figured life would produce music for our kids. Now i sit here thinking... Vert da ferk! SMH Pretty sad when u have to come back here to hear a good song.
The Tubes, sonically and musically at their best in 1983 with all of their major musicians in-place. The 'Outside Inside' tour was their best headlining shows of the 20th century. We all need a CD/DVD box set from this tour. Complete with behind-the-scenes, sound-check and all rehearsal songs.
I was there too... Irvine Meadows was THE So. Cal. spot to see everybody... Rush, the Cure, the Bangles, Echo and the Bunny Men, Oingo Boingo, Jimmy Buffet, the Go Go's, the Psychedelic Furs... everybody that was Somebody in the 80's played there.
My first time seeing the Tubes was way back on SCTV, when they guested on "The Fishin Musician", and played Sushi Girl. This is my first time seeing one of their concert performances. WOW!! High concept for early 80s!
I was at this show. It was my senior year of high school. I just remember how amazing they sounded, their harmonies and those guitars! Every song was just like the record and Fee's voice that night in that auditorium so powerful and so clear. They all were amazing. Fee definitely one of the greatest front men who ever lived. He's got soul and he knows how to rock it.
This is the very song that brings me back to that certain time and place, my childhood. Once I hear those synths in the beginning, an array of memories unfold.
We've gotten far enough away from that point in time, that it's almost hard to imagine getting this kind of pure talent and showmanship live. Instead, now we have...well, I won't say anything more.
One of the greatest bands in the world that most people have never heard of! Thankfully I have been a massive fan most of my life and have been lucky enough here in the UK to have seen them live 3 times!
When I saw the show New Year's Eve '83, they were introduced as "San Francisco's Finest". At the time, true enough, and way ahead of their time. To this day, one of the most incredible shows I've seen.
I saw it live. Absolutely the loudest band I've ever heard, but they were very good. Yes, aware of the syncing in this video, but they were truly very good.
Love it when the live version sounds like the record. Saw the stones once and it would be 30 seconds into each song before I could make out what it was.
Me and my mates, boys night out,, always go to watch the tubes every time they come to Scotland,, you will not see a better live band, great music great laugh great band that come and say hello after the show!!
I saw these guys open for Ratt. Ratt was a great band and I knew what to expect. I had no idea what was coming from The Tubes and they kicked ass! Over all a great show!
Thank you for sharing this! I am so happy that I googled "She's a Beauty" for the music video! Gah! I wish I could've been at this show! They'd be the biggest band in the world if Mtv aired this live performance. I love that video, but I LOVE their live show.
I saw the Tubes and Todd Rundgren at SDSU outdoor amphitheater Jul 10, 1985. What a great concert. They had a similar costume theme as this, but the Love Bomb tour
Love this! Thanks for sharing! I just discovered this yesterday & can't get enough. One great live performance, in fact one of the best I've ever seen.. lip- sync or not.. love the girls doing the backing vocals! They really complete it!
@@hoopsheavenpa I felt the same way when I recently looked it up & saw Luke listed as a co-writer. Have been crazy about this song since I heard it as a kid, just like Toto & Luke (when "Rosanna" was released). Was an "ah-ha!" moment for sure seeing him named. Also when I saw writers for one of my favorite, though not well know Chicago song, "Waiting For You To Decide." Just an all all around phenomenal musician & my favorite. ✨💖✨

That was one of the best live performances ever. They nailed it.
Yes pretty tight.
Not even close
What a fucking perfect live version of this brilliant track
Couldn't have said it better glutus!
Yesssss
Fee Waybill is one of the greatest singers and front men in rock history.Just a fantastic entertainer.
I graduated high school in 1983 and would do anything to get back to that era!
1984 for me
Aldo Nova was our song
Me too!!! 1983!!!😊
The power in fee waybills voice in this song is just fantastic.It really makes you realize that this guy was and is a fantastic singer!
Backing vocals are great too!
He is lip synching
@@GooglSucksDisk I didn't want to believe it, 3:48 he pulls the mic away as he kisses the girl. You still hear him singing..
@@Anthony-ns4fn agreed

One of the best pop rock songs ever imo. Nailed it live too.
It was great being a teenager in the 80's. Nothing today compares.
There is nothing today!
@@jamesa.2880 of course you're gonna say that because you're middle aged (I don't mean this negatively) and nostalgic for the past.
@@thebasedgodmax1163 Well all we have today is high pitched screaming "pop stars"!!
@@jamesa.2880 you're living in the past. I have no idea what pop stars you are referring to are "high pitched screamers". you could label Freddie Mercury and Whitney Houston that.
I agree! The 80s had the best music IMO.
Now that's a live performance! Damn great!
Totally kick ass! New bands can't compare.
New bands?
@@jamesa.2880 I meant to say old bands?
All of you people that got to see The Tubes back in their heyday are soooooo lucky. Hope you realize just how lucky you are. What a show this band put on!
I saw them in the 80s. I had no idea the show they’d put on before I go there. The dancers alone almost gave me a stroke.
What An Era, for Music and The Party!!💐💘🌹🌹🌹🌹🌸🗽🇺🇸🌎
Back when music was music....the Tubes still perform today with many of the original band members. Love this song! Fee is one of the best front men in the business!
I saw them at this bar in Ohio. Even got a shirt autographed by them.
music is still music. I hate to break it to you, but you disliking something doesn't mean its not music

Thanks fo posting this!
Does anyone know who he two background singers ae?
Thanks
I always love it when a song sounds the same live as it does in the studio. Good job tubes.
The tunes of the 80's are the best of any era except maybe the 50's. I was in the Army when this was king.Yes , I'm old but I know great music when I hear it.Rap/hip hop was the death of music.How sad.

No one ever took music to that end. Glad I saw them in 83 a few times in San Fran.
My friends brother, Vince Welnick, was their keyboard guy and also was the last keyboard player for the Grateful Dead till Jerry Garcia died. He later took his own life which added to the curse of the Dead's keyboard players.
I was only 7yrs at the time of this excellent performance and song!!!!!
Hang in there! There's still hope!😂😢😅
I'm absolutely speechless what a sick live performance damn
I’ll never forget listening to these guys in the 80’s. It’s so bittersweet now.

So they “fired” Foster, went back to their old producer, and had no more hits. Fee eventually left the band.
If they had continued working with Foster they may have had three or four big hits and become superstars.
Wow I'm totally impressed with how good these guys sound live, back before autotune
Autotune ruined real talent
now... thats a fucking FRONT! MAN! people used to have so much talent and show back in the 80s...
I liked Sammy Hagar before he joined VH too 😁
Very original sound....and solid musicians..I think they were ahead of their time...and did not get a chance to shine in the commercial cookie cutter world of music!

@@justincase1445 - Wow, learn something new every day.
If you dont absolutely love this I will refuse to ever speak to you ever again. Thats final!!
Back then this song kicked butt 🤣
The TUBS rock!!! FROM Oklahoma ❤️
Saw the Tubes at the famous Saddle Rack in San Jose CA. They played this song. I saw them just to hear this song live.
2024 and listening. July 13th. I miss those days. I didnt think much about it, because I figured life would produce music for our kids. Now i sit here thinking... Vert da ferk! SMH
Pretty sad when u have to come back here to hear a good song.
Amazing ! Why would I lie?
One of those under rated bands that just put on a great show...and fees voiice is always on the money..one of the best shows

One of the best shows They were fabulous,
Graham brought in the finest.....Filmore and Winterland
Saw this tour at Irvine Meadows, CA, the most amazing live stage show ever. Period. Fee. The man.
I was there too... Irvine Meadows was THE So. Cal. spot to see everybody... Rush, the Cure, the Bangles, Echo and the Bunny Men, Oingo Boingo, Jimmy Buffet, the Go Go's, the Psychedelic Furs... everybody that was Somebody in the 80's played there.
This is one of my favorite songs from the 80s!
One of the best live renditions of this song! Love it!
There were just so many FANTASTIC live acts in the 80s. What a time to be alive.
Man, I can't believe how these guys perform well. What a singer! Vicious synth
Great performance. Always loved The Tubes!
Brutal live performance ever
That was awesome. I thought the one girl was a mannequin until she moved. Nice stage show.
Wish I could go back to 1983.
I graduated in 1983 and I would kill to get back to that era!
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
AMAZING PERFORMANCE!!!! Much Love from the Bennett Family! BIG UPZ TO THE TUBES!!!
The tubes have been out since 1975. I saw them 3 times in concert including this album. High times! 🤘
73 actually. they opened for zeppelin in san francisco
What a SHOW! WHAT A BAND!!!!

he still is!
HE STILL IS. THEY STILL GETTING 🍞
Is it his real voice???? 🙀
@@Arema00 yes
Badass live band. What a voice Fee has.
What a performance! How the hell did I survive the 80s without seeing them live? :(
Thanx again Al Kooper...forest gump of rock....found skynyrd,tubes etc etc
Fee has a great singing voice. Clear, powerful and most importantly, on key.
FEE !!! These background vocals are no slouch either ! I am blown the F away, kinda better than album but same mix / vox / effects.
He has a very powerful voices which enables him to hit those notes and really carry a tune. Few singers have such strong voices.
Dang dose that bring back memories!😊
I saw The Tubes in Boston where Todd Rundgren's Band Utopia opened. One of the best shows I have ever seen!
I don't remember if there was an opening act but I saw them in '83 at the Keystone in Palo Alto.
Great, I saw their concert in Hamburg Germany early 80ties -. awesome musicians and entertainers
Todd's wife, Michele, is one of the singers in this .
I saw that tour in San Diego. One of the most memorable concerts I have ever seen.
We've gotten far enough away from that point in time, that it's almost hard to imagine getting this kind of pure talent and showmanship live. Instead, now we have...well, I won't say anything more.
awesome :) Thanks to whoever uploaded this!!
One of the greatest bands in the world that most people have never heard of! Thankfully I have been a massive fan most of my life and have been lucky enough here in the UK to have seen them live 3 times!
2018 and the Tubes still out class modern bands for originality....tour Australia some day tubes, you'll love it!....cheers!
Powerful voice
When I saw the show New Year's Eve '83, they were introduced as "San Francisco's Finest". At the time, true enough, and way ahead of their time. To this day, one of the most incredible shows I've seen.
Did it really sound live or a record playing like in this video and their lip singing ?
I saw it live. Absolutely the loudest band I've ever heard, but they were very good. Yes, aware of the syncing in this video, but they were truly very good.
Denis Simard I have seen them live this is the spectacle I recall.
A Great Band!! Just heard this and cant stop singing it!
i LOVE this tune! it EXCELS in every way!
You go Fee. Hitting those notes while hitting that thing!! You the Man
A band that sounds as good live as on their studio albums...and what a show. Very few artists can do this today...
Love this song, Everytime it comes on turn it up my friends... Why would i lie,she's one in a million girls.
I saw this tour. Absolutely amazing!
This is an amazing live performance.
great voice ,tight band , awesome stage presence
Was gobsmacked seeing them at knedworth [uk] 1978 .
Amazing live version!
What a kick ass live version!Love it!
I know this song by heart from the radio, never saw them before. Now I can't unsee this carnival look.
The level of talent they have onstage is unreal. God I hope to see them live someday

Excellent😁❤👍👏Fee is the voice👏👁❤
Their presentation quality...made them unique...The Tubes Vida Eterna...and the Beauty Too 😊🎶🎶😗🎶🎶
Amazing performance! This song is a classic and done so well with the live show.
Love it when the live version sounds like the record. Saw the stones once and it would be 30 seconds into each song before I could make out what it was.
Imo Fee has the greatest pure natural singing voice ever!!!
What a live performance!
We saw them last night. Awesome.
I saw it twice and I lived in Portugal in the late 70's ... or early 80's, one of them was the most fantastic concert I saw ... in Cascais
Me and my mates, boys night out,, always go to watch the tubes every time they come to Scotland,, you will not see a better live band, great music great laugh great band that come and say hello after the show!!

Amazing voice. Amazing entertainers!
Christ, this is right on par with the studio cut.
They were the house band for a theater in SF. My friend helped produce their stage shows. SF was wild back then.
