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.
Summary:
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 in the band's hometown of San Francisco, shortly after 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).
Several of their early classics are here, including: "What Do You Want From Life?," which they kick the set off with, "Space Baby," "Mondo Bondage," "I'm Waiting for the Man / Boy Crazy," and an incomplete version of "White Punks On Dope." Give it a spin and see why The Tubes were, at this time, one of the most talked-about-live-acts on the west coast.
Those dudes were entertainers. OMGosh!! Those dudes were entertainers!!
Thanks for uploading these gems from The Tubes ... I bought the LP way back in 76!?
coincidently ... just last week I got to see a Mariachi band perform this in Mexico ... As I "sang" along ... people around me thought I was a little wacko !!
I saw them at Winterland on New Year's Eve 1975 and once at Bimbo's 365. They were so much fun.
This song is nuts. They really committed to it!
they were great musicians and entertainment
I smoked do many joints to the 1st album and was instantly a huge Tubes fan the core band was so in tune they made money but should have been so much bigger due to a fickle album buying public their core fan base kept them going love their whole catalogue. I recently saw Fee Waybill on the movie " Epoch" I was hugely suprized
Fantastic to say the least
One of my favorite bands. Too bad I never got to see them live.
Once i met an american jazz- and blues guitarist here in Europe. Let's say his name is Garth. We spoke about music, and I told him that I like The Tubes. He said "really? Bill Spooner is a friend of mine."
One of the better bands their era and still today
I was at this show.
one of the best bands EVER!
I agree I've been a tubes fan since 73 seen a lot of bands you name them but this band was the best act ever some of the best musicians and some of the most complex music I've ever seen performed absolutely the most entertaining band in the world!!!
Love it!
