***** If you find one ***** let a brother know cause I would love to cruise back to the days where the music was truly banging and You right I love those Old Tunes
James Bell jr. Yes, those were the day's my friend.. I like all Music from that era. Can't wait to check out. " Straight Outta Compton " Going tomorrow with the Wife. They'll be some Heavy Memories from seeing that movie.. Hopefully nobody will get Capped in the Ass while I'm there.. .. Ha, Ha.. Be Cool, My Brother.. T. B.
I remember hearing this song driving into Boston seeing the skyline as the daylight fell, listening to BCN and thinking as this song blared in my car, that leaving LA was the right decision. That was over 25 years ago. Dan Zanes has done so much good for humanity. I'm glad I was listening to this song when I decided to make my home in New England.
Sure, I would add to this the Gun Club, dB's, Salem 66, Let's Active...the list could go on. But with the music of today, all of the 80s music is looking better and better...from the big pop stars, and the new wave bands that made it big, the classic rock bands that were still recording and touring, and the "hair metal" bands, all of them look so much better in comparison to the music today.
And yes, another underrated excellent rock n roll act from Boston, rock city!The Del Fuegos were GREAT along with 20 000 others bands that mainstream people will never know!!!
Oh my god. I work at a toy store and we play a lot of Dan Zanes albums, that's how I found about the Del Fuegos. I just looked them up on UA-cam on a whim, really. I can't believe this is the same guy that does all that kid's folk music! Mr. Zanes is certainly a man of many musical hats.
Boston was killing it at this time: SSD, The F.U.'s, Gang Green, Negative FX, DYS, The Dogmatics, The Proletariat, Jerry's Kids...I could go on all day. ;)
I lived in Worcester when the Stones played. Turned the city upside down. For those that haven’t been there (which is almost everyone on YT) it had a capacity of 200 tops. Oh yea, saw Bad Brains there a few years later :)
Helped set up the Del Fuegos when they played at Northeastern University in 1982 I think. They were so raw and awesome! My first exposure to Rockabilly. I used to see them at "The Rat" and then later at after hours loft parties where they would play for beer and cigarettes,etc. Band played every night they could. Hard working blue collar band that shoulda made it huge. Was amazed to see Dan Zanes face on a CD at Starbucks with Childrens music. Gravelly voice still sounds great. Miss the Fuegos!
Philly guy here- heard these guys & this tune while living in New England mid-1980s, damn good. Pretty strong airplay in New England, sorry it didn't break big nationwide.
Used to listen to this song on a am radio in a DOC work truck cruising around McNeil island repairing the roads for 4 months this song was on each and everyday right around 11 am before lunch.
I went to Concord High with Dan Zanes. Was just typing classmate names into Google for fun and was shocked to find he was famous! He was pretty funny, introduced me to Little Feat via the band t-shirts he used to wear.
Great song! This song should have been huge back in the day. Listening to it makes me wish we lived in a simpler time. Makes me sad to think in the years since this song came out, things in our world are so much worse.
great video great show in kc at the Midland got my weed confabd i was the first to spark a joint that night they took mine an then let everyone else smoke! an it was first class concert weed i'd been saving! 80's were so cool and free!too bad our kids will never know how great freedom was now theyr'e all consumed with facebook need to get out and party and live!
Sir Morgan's Cove Green St. Worcester around 1984 or 1985. We were packed in like Sardines. Stones played there in 1981 calling themselves The Cockroaches.
Blessed to be young and alive in Boston during these times! No cooler band back then. Nice that we also got Dan Zanes to entertain our kiddos in the early 2000’s too! Thanks Dan. Love the Del Fuegos!
saw them 87 with tom petty and the heart brakers and the gorgia satellites they opened then satellites then petty came out thanking every one for all the free gifts for his new house as he had a house fire he said be safe wear a condom and petty show started delfugos did a lot of stuff from wear it like a cape tour
Hearing this music connected some synapsis and made me recall that when my teenage daughter was little, like 4 to 6 years old. One of her favorite kids music singers was Dan Zanes. Zanes was the front man for the Del Fuegos and became a kids music icon during the early 2000s. At this time he was touring at small venues throughout the Northeast and my wife and I brought my daughter to see him in Oneonta. After the show, he was cool - signed autographs, posed for picture and such. My daughter was apprehensive at first but as the theater cleared out, he motioned for her to come down. She went and sat down next to him and they just chatted for 20 minutes.
I saw them back in 85 at St. Anselm College in Manchester NH. They warmed up for the Kinks. The lead guitarist got hit with a golf ball and stormed off the stage. I remember the crowd yelling "you suck we want The Kinks" and they left the stage. It was crazy, there were no seats and we almost got crushed against the fence that separated the crowd from the stage.
Hopefully it's never too late for this party. Lol. But yes these guys were excellent. This and I Still Want You are imprinted on my brain for life. Great stuff. Typical 80's low quality vids and they looked like kids themselves. Peace.
Great song....they kick butt, which is why it amazes me I never heard of them before. I only found them now because my son has 3 of Dan's Kids albums which we all enjoy alot. I had no idea he had a previous career as a real rocker. Thanks once again to UA-cam.
I was Working in a Record Store when this was Released , We Got a Promotional Copy of there Album , I Played it Alot In the Store this Song Must Have Charted on Billboard! I Never Forgot this Song, I Play Guitar I will Learn it and Play it!
I love this song and this is my home turf. looks like the Massachusetts Avenue Bridge. How many weekends in 10 years of being a patron at mar Ray Club had I passed over that bridge
I had this cassette when I lived in the USVI back in the 80's and loved it a effton. Forgot all about these guys. Then I heard this on Underground Garage this week and I had to search it out. And here's my reward!!!
Definitely heard this a zillion times on WBCN!! I had a '61 Corvette, top down, and crusin' all the strips with friends!! Sure did turn a lot of heads! Great cruising song... this, and green onions!!!
Never saw them live but they were getting lots of air play back in the mid-eighties when I was living in Boston working on the Mass RMV system. Great band!
I saw them with Tom Petty that same year in Houston. They were openers in a triple bill. Petty was great as always, but the second group sucked big time.
Ahh the 80's in Boston WBCN V66 when Boston was a rockin town.This tune brings back memories like partying all day in the parking lot off Northern ave waiting for the BCN fireworks.
What ratings? Are you disappointed they weren't on Top 40. Part of what makes these bands great is they were never "commercially viable" and we loved them. Almost everyone here had their minds blown seeing these guys live, that's all the rating they need.
Its all good : the music, the video, city off Boston at night. And I will second the emotion one man said "you're never to old to rock and roll----Amen
Zen-simple, smart, sweatily eloquent rock & roll, drives like a hammer! Super track - eats little children for breakfast!!!! Boston looks great in this video, too. Thank you for posting it, yakidk. (And loudmusic, we're never too old to rock & roll. Never.)
Who remembers this band? well I do
James Bell jr. i lived a summer back in the day w this LP....yes vinyl
Jp Richie I was in the army when this gem dropped I wore my album out too #VINYLTOO
James Bell jr. Dude, Ya talking about the Good Old days. Anyone have a Time Machine I can Borrow ? I Love these Old Tunes. C ya, T.B.

Thanks for the memories! Grew up in NH just outside of Boston. WBCN was the benchmark back in the late 70's on!
Ya BCN when rock was rock and BCN played ALL of everything... What a shame today kids know nothing,.,..
WBCN....THE ROCK OF BOSTON!!!!!
Boston sucks!
😂
Louisiana?
The Del Fuegos. Some of the best sound of the 80s from New England.
The 80s were 🎸the best🎼 so many memories great music!!!
Saw them live, @ "Spit" a nightclub on Landsdowne Street in Boston around this time @ one of "Spit"'s "Midnight Surprise" shows.
WBCN The Rathskeller
Mister Butch. All good!
Still have my vinyl copy from ‘85 that I bought at Newbury Comics.
One of the best from the 80s. Plimsouls, Cruzados, Smithereens, Concrete Blonde, Mason Ruffner.
and the list can truly go on....
Or add Meat Puppets, Replacements, REM, the Minutemen, Bodeans and X.
@@jamessullivan4391 DOA, BigBoys, and The Black Flag?

Too bad many 80s bands were short lived.
And yes, another underrated excellent rock n roll act from Boston, rock city!The Del Fuegos were GREAT along with 20 000 others bands that mainstream people will never know!!!
Boston Mass on the turntable...constantly in the day and Big Audio Dynamite..early 80's rocked
I ran into this song when I was stationed at Naval Air Station North Island Coronado,San Diego...in 1986 and I jam out to it 2021
Much respect to you! Thanks for your service.Fair winds and following seas!
Thanks for your service! I was NAS and NOB Norfolk cv-66 haze grey and under way 🎉

I saw them on my 21st birthday!!! At The Ritz in Dallas. So AWESOME ❤
They should been signed and gone way further than they got !!!! RUN Wild !! 👍😎😎😎
Once upon a time when Boston rocked...and you could see the Rolling Stones at hole-in-the-wall in Worcester.
Yes sir Sir Morgan Cove!!
Boston was killing it at this time: SSD, The F.U.'s, Gang Green, Negative FX, DYS, The Dogmatics, The Proletariat, Jerry's Kids...I could go on all day. ;)
Um..Boston STILL rocks!!

@@blanktv Don't forget The Neighborhoods
The last time I saw that video it was on V66!

Hong Kongs in Harvard Square 👍🏿
Great memories of the Boston Music Scene.
Driving trucks all the time from CT to Boston in the late 80's. Flying down the Mass Pike hearing this song on WBCN. Takes me right back there.
Charles Laquidara... bcn gone but not forgotten.
Oh man, you aren't bs-ing when you mention 'BCN and The Pike! lol love it
This song will still show up on WBLM'S A to Z!
Don’t forget seeing the video on V66
The 80's rocked.
Philly guy here- heard these guys & this tune while living in New England mid-1980s, damn good. Pretty strong airplay in New England, sorry it didn't break big nationwide.
Great song. Cool band too especially since they're from Boston.
Still one of my favorite songs of all-time. Here in Mpls. 92 KQRS still plays this song.
I was so into the Del Fuegos back in the 80's
They totally rock! 💪✌
That Boston Skyline has changed so much! Loved the Del Fuegos!!
I did RUN WILD! Wow Back In the Day! The Channel, BunRattys, ect... Still have this Cassette!
Lord I do miss the 80's!!!!!
One of the many gifts to Boston ❤
I just discovered this band. Incredible. I’m a few decades late😢😢😢🎉🎉🎉
Used to listen to this song on a am radio in a DOC work truck cruising around McNeil island repairing the roads for 4 months this song was on each and everyday right around 11 am before lunch.

How cool that he went to Concord. Mass I presume? Concord-Carlisle
@@Jgeneraledger23 Concord, NH.
Love this song..the guitar intro is awesome!
The slide near the end is my favorite part of this song. Great 80's band.
Saw them open for INXS at The Expo in Portland, Maine sometime in the late 80's
Great song! This song should have been huge back in the day.
Listening to it makes me wish we lived in a simpler time. Makes me sad to think in the years since this song came out, things in our world are so much worse.
Del Fuegos definitely takes me back to the day. Just graduated high school and joined the military.
great video great show in kc at the Midland got my weed confabd i was the first to spark a joint that night they took mine an then let everyone else smoke! an it was first class concert weed i'd been saving! 80's were so cool and free!too bad our kids will never know how great freedom was now theyr'e all consumed with facebook need to get out and party and live!
so many great underrated bands, this song is as timeless now as it was then, kick ass song...
Reminds me of a Lancaster PA 80s band The Sharks, who won an MTV, remember when that was cool, Battle of the Bands.
Saw them at some dive in Worcester, MA. One of my favorite live shows. We were packed liked sardines...and they rocked the house...it was awesome...
Nothing like seeing good bands in small venues - its the best
Sir Morgan's Cove Green St. Worcester around 1984 or 1985. We were packed in like Sardines. Stones played there in 1981 calling themselves The Cockroaches.
Del Fuegos are one of the best to come out of Boston. I loved them from the first time I saw them. At the Ratt, of course.
Blessed to be young and alive in Boston during these times! No cooler band back then. Nice that we also got Dan Zanes to entertain our kiddos in the early 2000’s too! Thanks Dan. Love the Del Fuegos!
I saw these guys back in the 80's. They definitely ROCKED THE HOUSE.

so many great bands from Boston back then
Indeed, it was a good time.
Such a cool song. Brings back a memory with this little angel I dated for a spell.
Best thing ever to come out of Concord, NH?
This by far was the best road tripping music of my early years!!!!!!
WXRT (93.1 FM) in Chicago used to play them quite a bit. I saw them playing at a small club in Chicago in the 80's and remember it being a great show.
Man I loved this song 🤣
I saw them back in 85 at St. Anselm College in Manchester NH. They warmed up for the Kinks. The lead guitarist got hit with a golf ball and stormed off the stage.

Musical loveliness! Viva del Fuegos!
I remember seeing them at the Boston Hatshell on Earth Day 1990, good time!
Boston Mass is one of the finest rock albums ever made.
The beat of Boston circa 1980. Spare.
i saw them a few dozen times back in the 80s. REALLY FUN BAND!
80s classic!
Miller Beer commercial. Lol. Them and Long Ryders
I love this band.. So happy to find this and especially this particular song and I agree, they were so totally underrated. Thanks for posting 💕🎶
I saw them back in the 80s & they definitely ROCKED!!!
Besides the whole Boston thing , this is one of those almost perfect songs. Everything fits
for sure Bro and I used to follow them around from Mass to RI back in the day. Boston, MA is an awesome album!!!
I remember seeing these guys back in these mid 80's with ZZ top. First time I had front row seats to anything. They were quite good.
saw them with tom petty and Georgia sattlelights delfugos opend then sattllights then petty
damn good tune ,A bar I hung out at played this as last call for alcohol I was 24, im NOW 48. Thanks for sharing the video...

A very cool and great garage rock sound that came long after garage rock hey day... The Seeds and Standels must have appreciated this.
Great memories from Dan and the boys!
Wow!!🤩
Blast from the past
For me, this might be the 'quintessential' Del Fuegos song, it's what got me into them initially back in the mid '80s and I love it.
Saw them with Tom Petty at MSG NYC in '87. OH the memories!
I saw them with Tom Petty that same year in Houston. They were openers in a triple bill. Petty was great as always, but the second group sucked big time.

Growing up in the Boston area we used to sit in front of the TV watching V66 waiting for this video.
Forgot about this band, good to hear them again.
College radio memories. :) WRSU
I love the Neighborhoods. Best live band
Love this. So many great songs get forgotten......
OMG. The memories....good times!

Awesome.....Saw them around Boston a bunch of times
