The glorious 80's- the clothes, music, & the vibe of the world was so light hearted! So glad to have grown up in these amazing times! Patti was such a bad ass before Pat B.! Love her- what a talent & the clothes & styles were fun & awesome! She is a Warrior!
Grew up in the 70's and 80's. Huge metal head and KISS fan. But I LOVE this song! Especially this live version. So good in so many ways. 🎉🎉🎉 Grateful for this posting. ❤❤❤
Yeah... everyone's too flippin'' uptight now... whiners, everywhere! No fun to be found anywhere... not to mention not much heart, soul and musical "feel" to be found in rock and pop. There are great players around today... but sadly, they are not mainstream. The 80's had the best of rock and pop... vocalists who could truly sing live and in the studio, and guitarists who did not fall off of their fretboards when rides were needed. I've played music professionally for most of my adult life... including a LOT of cover bands. Out of all of the eras of music, the 80's were the most challenging to cover, and best of all, the most FUN! Again, no one cares about fun much any longer... they're too busy whining about everything they perceive as "bad" in the world. Bad thing about today's rock/pop musicians, they never do anything about what they whine about, yet they bust everyone's balls over issues constantly... only "hostess twinkie" whiners acting as if they're superior to everyone else for having whined so much. Not much fun in rock and pop now... only self-righteous hypocrites. Oh, and did I mention "whiners"? 😛 There will probably never be anything close to the 80's again. My .02 cents anyway!
I was gonna say, the vocals and instruments sound great and you would certainly be hard pressed to find a modern act today that could sound as good live as they do in the studio.
@@davidlambert3892 If you've heard any pop or rap song in the past 25 years you've heard autotune used in various ways. Sometimes it's used to enhance weak vocals, sometimes change the sound completely.
One of the best 80s tunes and one of the greatest female vocalists of the era. This could have been huge and I have no clue why it wasn´t, but the recond industry was serving us various Kajagoogoo, Spandau Ballet and Duran Duran instead. They didn´t trick me though. ;) Always loved Scandal and Patty Smyth.
Well said!! Patty Smyth's voice a long with excellent musicians in Scandal....WOW!!! Such a rockin' band!! Every single track on their first album is well written, well played and well produced. The entire band is so well polished. Bands like them DO NOT come around anymore...period!!! We were very lucky to have lived through the '80's and got to witness such incredible talent!! Thank you for sharing!! Aloha from Hawaii!!
She's a good singer, with a good voice,....in my opinion, the music/songs scandal produced just wasn't good enough for her voice and ability. She was asked to join the mighty Van Halen but she turned them down. If she had join Van Halen together they would have done great on a bigger stage/scale.
I think she has a lot of charisma and a wonderfully strong voice for rock. She didn't have a lot of good material to sing, and her management was ... what it was.
Ha ha! I know. I see that word used so often to describe anyone that person likes. Someone described The Kinks as "way underrated". The Kinks! One of the most revered bands of the British Invasion. Ha ha ha!
What a powerful woman with a beautiful power voice and energy. I bet she intimidates a lot of men unnecessarily. She seems like a really downright grounded person and has a great sense of humor from interviews I’ve seen. Love Patty!!
She has such good breath control. Being that she can jump around like she does and still sing on pitch. WITHOUT Autotune I might add. I would like to see some of these so-called female singers today do that live.
what energy! I remember having that energy in the 80s! I could work 40+ hours a week, party hard, smoke it, drink it and on almost no sleep!!!??? youth is so underrated! I wanna go back!!!!
Agreed - The killer is we dont listen to the under rated people who cross our path. Not preaching John! dont want you headin up to my area doin a Rambo!!!
Patty Smyth is incredible. I sang this song live many times myself and it was a lot of fun. She was asked by Eddie Van Halen to front his band when Roth left. But she was settling down and starting a family at the time and was not in the right frame of mind. She would have made a great front person for Van Halen, for sure.
Exactly. Eddie was thinking with his little head, imagining sharing tour buses, hotel rooms, swimming pools and hot tubs with this cutie! 😘 Thankfully, she declined his offer, saving his & Valerie's marriage! 😮
Holy crap that was so much better than I thought it would be. That COMPLETELY rocked! I was expecting something rough and ragged and slightly embarrassing. I'm honestly a bit stunned. I figured they were a frothy early 80s New Wave act with not much substance. The vocals were meaty and bluesy, the piano on point, the guitars and drums kept up the energy. That's a better live performance than I've seen from MUCH more famous and accomplished bands and artists. Yes, rock stars indeed performed live in concert. LOL :)
Most of the guys in Scandal either were already, or soon became established New York session and live musicians. It shouldn’t be a surprise that they sounded this good. Back in the late 70’s-early 80’s, you had to be superb to get anywhere as a player, as the competition was all world-class.
What a fun band this was to see live. Saw them at the Roxy in Hollywood when this song was getting a ton of airplay. Love Has Got a Line on You was another awesome song. Thanks for the great memories.
Saw Patty and Scandal open up for John Waite at the Palladium in Hollywood on Wednesday November 7th, 1984. I won tickets on KMET. It was standing room only-General admission. Radio winners were in an area with tables to the left of the stage. Scandal rocked for sure. They played Warrior and Goodbye to You and a few others. When John Waite started his set, he asked a friend to come up (who was standing a few feet away from me and my then girlfriend). It was Eddie Van Halen! There is actually audio of this whole concert on the net-I found it a few years ago. Some great memories for sure
I saw this "live" on TV one night when this was current. Frankly, I have yet to see a female rocker that looked or moved like she did in this. 100% rock and roll yet appealing. The outfit was very cute and, again, very rock and roll. She crushed this performance.
learning this song for my new band I'm in. So sorry to ready about multiple musicians in the original band gone too soon. Pattys so cute and that voice was recognized as soon as you heard it..
I saw a live video yesterday of her and the band from last year ... she still has the energy and stills kicks ass! We're about the same age, I wish I had her energy. Team Patty!
But Patty said no. Here's a segment from the Patty Wikipedia page: Following the end of Scandal, Smyth was invited by her friend Eddie Van Halen to join the band Van Halen to replace David Lee Roth as lead singer. However, she declined the offer, because she was eight months pregnant and "It was just not the right time for me," she says now. "I was a New Yorker, I didn't want to live in L.A. ... and those guys were drunk and fighting all the time."
@@funfreq9282 They would've wrote material for her...and I would've loved to have heard her voice paired with Eds gtr virtuosity...it would've worked and would've sounded even better than the stuff they did w/Sammy...who was and is at a level Roth will never or could never attain. With Patti Smyth on vocals they would've sold more records than with Sam and Dave combined.
Scandal is the most under rated and mis-labeled band by the magazines and MTV not a new wave band, but a rock band with a smooth guitar player-Hendrix-BB-Page rolled into one with Keith Mac and the greatest Female Singer in Rock n Roll History. Pretty like a bird and hard hitting Baritone Boom!
I love you Patty! Love your energy here, how the beat comes in and within a few seconds you are bopping and dancing. I can tell it's your true character that comes alive when the music starts.
Without a doubt their most memorable performance, hands down she is a great singer and hot! Hot! HOT!! And I have to mention the 2 keyboard solo's blow the original recording away!
Benjy King was a phenomenal keyboardist with extreme coordination and enthusiasm!! I miss him terribly. Rest In Peace Benjy! Your fast fingered skills will never be forgotten! ~Dutch
The group Scandal had that perfect quintessential rock and pop band image and style from the 1980s. I don't remember this band as they weren't popular in Australia except for Patty Smyth's single The Warrior.
The glorious 80's- the clothes, music, & the vibe of the world was so light hearted! So glad to have grown up in these amazing times! Patti was such a bad ass before Pat B.! Love her- what a talent & the clothes & styles were fun & awesome! She is a Warrior!
She's almost 70 now and still sounds the same. One of the best female rock vocalists of the 80s.
I can remember rockin to this in the 80s as a teenager. So fun. The girls would all bounce around to this. I miss bouncy girls.
Yeah...this is what real talent looks and sounds like.
Wow! She sounded great live!!!
Grew up in the 70's and 80's.
Huge metal head and KISS fan. But I LOVE this song! Especially this live version. So good in so many ways. 🎉🎉🎉 Grateful for this posting. ❤❤❤
I got to live through the 80s. Blessed. Nothing had ever come close for fun.
Yeah... everyone's too flippin'' uptight now... whiners, everywhere! No fun to be found anywhere... not to mention not much heart, soul and musical "feel" to be found in rock and pop.

There will probably never be anything close to the 80's again. My .02 cents anyway!
Except the 70's
Pay close attention this is real talent. Actual vocals without autotune and jumping around performing and entertaining.
What is autotune?
I was gonna say, the vocals and instruments sound great and you would certainly be hard pressed to find a modern act today that could sound as good live as they do in the studio.
Totalmente cierto bro
@@davidlambert3892 If you've heard any pop or rap song in the past 25 years you've heard autotune used in various ways. Sometimes it's used to enhance weak vocals, sometimes change the sound completely.
She's literally jumping at times
She puts her heart and soul into this performance!
Stellar live version of this song. What an incredible performance. And that keyboard player? WOW!!!!!
Benjy king , que genial teclado.
Justo lo que más me impacto, el solo superó la versión de estudio
Great improv on the piano. The original was synth. He just went with it. Hard to do and he pulled it off.
Best version of this song....So much raw energy
I just fell in love with this woman, her energy, her sexy rock voice and presence. Since I was a teen, hell yea!
I can't lie...i've always loved this song!
Mee too!
A muchos que la escuché les encantara. Esta bien hecha
Me too! It is a tribute to all the toxic people from my past.

A real song by a real artist singin with her real voice.
In my humble opinion, Patty has the most under-rated female voice of the 80s New Wave era.
She's a good singer, with a good voice,....in my opinion, the music/songs scandal
produced just wasn't good enough for her voice and ability. She was asked to join the mighty Van Halen but she turned them down. If she had join Van Halen together they would have done great on a bigger stage/scale.
I think she has a lot of charisma and a wonderfully strong voice for rock. She didn't have a lot of good material to sing, and her management was ... what it was.
totally agree. amazing voice.
Gawd I have not read the over used under rated term near enough
Ha ha! I know. I see that word used so often to describe anyone that person likes. Someone described The Kinks as "way underrated". The Kinks! One of the most revered bands of the British Invasion. Ha ha ha!
Back when pop stars could actually sing and pop songs were actual songs with composition and melody.
1 bazillion liked
Saw her in NJ with John Waite mid 80’s approximately (before kids)
Great show
Last minute, last row
Incredible energy and she still brings it.
man they are just straight up jammin and she's kickin ass all over the place! I love the live version so much it's hard to be still while it plays.
Excelente banda. De mis tiempos. Ojalá. Venga al peru
What a little ball of energy!!! Wonderful to watch!!!
She’s the female singer version of the Energizer Bunny 🐇🐰😂
What a powerful woman with a beautiful power voice and energy. I bet she intimidates a lot of men unnecessarily. She seems like a really downright grounded person and has a great sense of humor from interviews I’ve seen. Love Patty!!
This is on the short list for my all time favorite music videos.
Strong vocals on this firecracker.
She always was a keeper
One of the best songs of the eighties ,she still looks great.
So do you
Better than ANYTHING out today!
A top flight rock n roll band. And the keyboard player is KILLING IT!
Again, this blows the "offical" MTV out of the water, this vid was on full speed from start to finish.....
So much energy I always find myself coming back to this to put a smile on my face. Make real music and performance great again.
(Patty Smyth + Scandal) + (1980's) = Best Decade Ever
One of the best bands/videos ever. This shows why today's music SUCKS.....
I've seen Patty/Scandal a few times in the last few years and she still has it. Always a GREAT show.
This is awesome!
The Mighty Thommy Price being his dynamic self on drums 👏👏👏👏 All Real Musicians 👏👏👏👏
This blows the "offical" MTV video out of the water, such energy packed into one song.
I was a freshman in college in 1982 we would travel anywhere to see Scandal. Absolute favorite times ,of my life.
Hermoso recuerdo de 1985 con esta canción sonando en las emisoras de radio de Lima!!!!!.
She has such good breath control. Being that she can jump around like she does and still sing on pitch. WITHOUT Autotune I might add. I would like to see some of these so-called female singers today do that live.
Cocaine is a hell of a drug
I guess you've never seen Gaga Live. She's constantly on the run for 2 hours.
I'm going to exercise now
you know what is the meaning of the line: "You know I never got by, "I feel it too" " ??
Logra potenciar su voz... genialmente
I miss the 80's .
what energy! I remember having that energy in the 80s! I could work 40+ hours a week, party hard, smoke it, drink it and on almost no sleep!!!??? youth is so underrated! I wanna go back!!!!
Agreed - The killer is we dont listen to the under rated people who cross our path. Not preaching John! dont want you headin up to my area doin a Rambo!!!
I’d go back if I could still keep my life lessons with me.
We were young then.
@@GeographRick I go back without them and learn them all the hard way again…
Saw her in a bar when this came out and let me tell you I was hooked Great band!!!!! Miss them Wowwwww!!!! Dammmm
Patty Smyth is incredible. I sang this song live many times myself and it was a lot of fun. She was asked by Eddie Van Halen to front his band when Roth left. But she was settling down and starting a family at the time and was not in the right frame of mind. She would have made a great front person for Van Halen, for sure.

The audience looks dead. How can they just sit here as they witness this greatness??
She has such an awesome voice!
What a performer! So much energy! I love her!
She's pretty wonderful. Where can all that energy come from?
I was able to see Scandal and John Waite at the Hollywood Palladium - many years ago awesome show and venue, true performers and awesome times
Awesome! I was born in ‘60 & miss the 80’s!
it's nice to see the keyboard get such a showcase 🎹
She’s great and the band, outstanding
Goodbye to You terrific new wave rocker, the song keeps movin', no "flat-spots". Patti's strong vocals aids very well!
These songs age like fine wine.
She is amazing
She sounds so good despite all the energy she delivers on stage......
WOW.... a REAL singer.. absolutely incredible live.❤️❤️❤️❤️
La mejor de las rockeras de los 80', no faltaba más...
This blows the "offical" MTV video out of the water, this vid was on full speed from start to finish.....
dammm this band was tite . crap thats live sounds amazing wow !!!

before auto tune as well
They were great musicians. Look up who they played and recorded with besides Patty. And they toured constantly which gets you in great playing shape!
Such an incredible rock song! I love it more and more every time I hear it.
Scandal still rocks!!!! 💕
What a fun band this was to see live. Saw them at the Roxy in Hollywood when this song was getting a ton of airplay. Love Has Got a Line on You was another awesome song. Thanks for the great memories.
Los 80” lo máximo Grande Patty…!!!!
Love the style. Best days of my life!

i want this song at my funeral !!!!
I can’t express how happy this video makes me
What doesn't get mentioned enough is what a tight little band Scandal was!
I saw this "live" on TV one night when this was current. Frankly, I have yet to see a female rocker that looked or moved like she did in this. 100% rock and roll yet appealing. The outfit was very cute and, again, very rock and roll. She crushed this performance.

La primera vez que escuché está canción fué en los 80s en una estación de Rock era una de mis favoritas ROCK 101 , y Radio Capital
I saw a live video yesterday of her and the band from last year ... she still has the energy and stills kicks ass! We're about the same age, I wish I had her energy. Team Patty!
Still kickin' ass... Still super SEXY !!! :):):)
excelente banda de rock..saludos desde Peru..Patty angel magic del rock!!
Love her voice!
I love this kind of groups, the band soooo good and a great voice!!
BEST SINGER EVER AND DANCER TOO ;) !!!
Food for thought....When David Lee Roth left Van Halen, Patty was Eddie Van halens's first pick for a new singer.
But Patty said no. Here's a segment from the Patty Wikipedia page: Following the end of Scandal, Smyth was invited by her friend Eddie Van Halen to join the band Van Halen to replace David Lee Roth as lead singer.

Yes she was. Eddie really wanted her to join the band
@@stevehampton9146 i never knew that and I basically live in the 80’s cuz it was a blast!
That would have never worked out, I just can't hear her singing Hot for Teacher and really believing it.
@@funfreq9282 They would've wrote material for her...and I would've loved to have heard her voice paired with Eds gtr virtuosity...it would've worked and would've sounded even better than the stuff they did w/Sammy...who was and is at a level Roth will never or could never attain.

Una obra de Arte sin lugar a dudas. Magnífico Rock!!!!
SI LA MUSICA ES MAGNIFICO !!! ;)
She’s so energetic.
what a voice, what a song

Amazing Energy....one of the Best Female Rockers of all time...Blonde is also on that list
That drummer is having so much fun with those fills.
That's a real good performance by the band .... seriously, they sound tight. Like the piano.
she's got it! she's got it! she's STILL got it!!!! # cheers :)
Piano player is 🔥 at the end
Benjy King was a phenomenal keyboardist with extreme coordination and enthusiasm!! I miss him terribly.
Rest In Peace Benjy! Your fast fingered skills will never be forgotten!
~Dutch
Benji king ya no esta en este mundo pero sus obras son inmortales 👍
Great performance,,always liked her energy and enthusiasm,,she still sounds ok in their most recent concerts....
Me encanta esta cancion y la voz de Patty..!!!🙆🏻♀️❤
WHAT A VOICE!!!!!!!
Simply fantastic.
Patty can sing!! Just great performance!
The Piano bit at the end is masterful .
I had such a huge crush on Patty Smyth when I was a kid, she still holds a special place in my heart
You should have played tennis. As she is Mrs. John McEnroe...😙😙 Just saying 😜
