Love love love the Bangles, and Susanna Hoff video for Eternal Flame melted many a young man heart……but for some reason My Favorite Bangles song was always this one.
This song reminds me of a girl I dated. I knew from the beginning that it was never going to last but I wanted to see if I could love her unconditionally and be able to let her go knowing that it was the right thing to do that she would have to go and find herself someday. She didn't know what she wanted and there was no point in trying to rehabilitate her or point her in the right direction she had so many ideas running around in her own head She didn't need anything from me so I just loved her unconditionally and then I set her free. I hope she finds her peace. I think this will always be my favorite song by The Bangles It's the only one I want to learn how to play myself.
How can such beauty by Susanna be more magnificent now than when she was 20 or so years ago? Beauty and voice. Amazing. Know I know who I really want...Susanna
I was of age back in the 80s listening to the Bangles, but the more I listen to them now, the more i appreciate how good they really are, great to look at, great to listen to, and great songs that just hold up.
The footage used is not of them performing "If She Knew What She Wants" in 2006, it's a footage of them performing the track in the year 2000. This is why Michael is playing with them.
I always liked listening to them, I loved their music. When I got to know them by watching their videos, I immediately fell in love with Susanna, but also with Micky, and now they are my two angels of music.
Looks like an angel too. I couldn't believe how well she's aged...63 years old....with same beautiful smile and same beautiful shape. It's nice to see.
In an era of heavy metal virtuosity, where you play an instrument to show off your ability, it's refreshing to hear musicians (note that I didn't say "female musicians") play in function of the song. Kudos to the sound engineers, the balance was perfect. Debbi's solid and nonexagerated drum line, Michael's cool bassline, Vicki's effective and melodic solos on lead that gave flavour to the song, and Susanna's rhythm on her signature Taylor Koa Accoustic that sounded so delicate, almost like wind chimes. The in crescendo leading into the bridge at 1:42, so understated but so perfect for the song. It all sounded so delicate and understated, turning Jules Shear's wonderful composition into a performance materpiece that just relaxes your ears. I know I sound korny, but I love it when the Bangles show, not only what great singers they are, but also the solid instrumentalists they are. Always better in concert.
Right, the brilliance of Jules Shear ... he has some really wonderful acoustic work and has written songs for Cyndi Lauper, Aimee Mann and Til Tuesday.
Spot on. Steele is keel of the boat. A heavy weight personality and a lady of sparkling substance. Of course she lies in the background, but boy, do I enjoy her presence.
Such an amazing song ... another Jules Shear gem ... am especially partial to Susanna's solo of this (2012)? She's incredible, but the song is pure pop delight.
En mi juventud pues soy de edad parecido a ellas las escuchada pero con el paso de los años me he dado cuenta lo grande que son volvieron y me enganché de nuevo ,no esta Michael pero no han perdido su frescor un aplauso grande para ellas
If time travel is real i will Go back and find susanna hoffs and i'll tell her. how much i like her and how much beautiful she is.....take care always susanna hoffs and God bless you
Bangles - one of the best liveband ever! Vicki fantastic guitarplayer, Debbie the boss behind the drums and Micki - I have comment her so much so I don't have more Words for her - I find one -OUTSTANDING! All of them sangs good! This is music history when it's best!! Bangles music gonna live Forever!!
true words. I agree. It's good that the bangles are still playing, I like them very much. but they will never be as good as at this concert. without Michael Steele it's just IMPOSSIBLE ! She is (and she remains!!!) the best
@@ullischuster1263 No😣. I'd been so darn busy with work, I had to spend this past weekend at home, recovering. I've been up and down the coast, between Fort Bragg and San Luis Obispo, these past few months, but not so far as Del Mar. I wonder how they sounded? My guess is Susanna still looks great....you know me! Any word on how they were? Annette Z. do ok? Michael Steele sightings? All too early to tell, probably. You may recall my last try to get down there required a lot of last second planning.... I just couldn't swing it, again. Another opportunity missed, and Susanna just waiting for me...😂😂😂. Hope things are well, my friend. Oh...I'm handsome but keep that to yourself😂. Out here, I'm just Fred....read fast, 'cause that'll disappear, soon!😉
@@fredflintstone2958...I'll keep your secret :-) It's a pity that you couldn't meet susanna yesterday, but she will surely continue to wait for you :-) of course they played the hits but also some very old songs. as always it was too short, but they only got 1 hour for the gig. michael of course wasn't there and i can only say, i'll always miss her. but best you look at it yourself. jump to minute 4. ua-cam.com/video/E_Og7avDTFA/v-deo.html
Susanna Hoffs. Timeless beauty.
This is perhaps their most under-rated song.
I'm a sucker for that side-eye glance Susanna mastered.
Back when girl groups were talented... 2000’s you’ve much to learn.
Susanna I love you. Hottest 63 year old ever........🥰
Love love love the Bangles, and Susanna Hoff video for Eternal Flame melted many a young man heart……but for some reason My Favorite Bangles song was always this one.
Her voice, angelic . Watchin in 2023
Miss all female bands and groups 🙏❤️
How can she is more beautiful here than in the 80's??? And the voice..
I hear ya...
You can thank the good Lord up above. But ultimate perfection beautiful susanna was always beautiful since day one. And of course even now.
Perfection♥️♥️

Vicki Peterson such a GREAT LADY guitarist and also great choice of guitars. I have always liked you ;)

This song bleeds raw innocence
I fell in love with that voice when I was 14 or so. And I just did it again with 45. 😍😘🤗🍀🇨🇭
JUST the voice.. uh huh. Sure ;) But yes, theyre wicked talented! Cheers mate
This arrangement is better than the album.
I was of age back in the 80s listening to the Bangles, but the more I listen to them now, the more i appreciate how good they really are, great to look at, great to listen to, and great songs that just hold up.
I was a sophomore in college when this song came out. I am STILL waiting for her to marry me.
@@henrylee8510 She still looks fantastic!!

Thanks. I wondered why Michael was there in 2006.
Very very rare lady’s just magnificent harmonizing vocals, meant to be...
Yet their music sounds a little just seen before (i.e.The Bestles)
I always liked listening to them, I loved their music. When I got to know them by watching their videos, I immediately fell in love with Susanna, but also with Micky, and now they are my two angels of music.
And Debbie nice medium
Voice and her style on.drum
That rémind me the drumming of Fleetwood mac
Susanna,vicky, micky, debbie.
I'm in love with this band ...!!! what a shame I didn't pay more attention back in the day...she sings like an ANGEL...
Looks like an angel too. I couldn't believe how well she's aged...63 years old....with same beautiful smile and same beautiful shape. It's nice to see.
I think I’m in love with Susanna Hoffs!
swallows are my favorite....How long have I been looking for you..yu

You said female
Actually it was from Sept. 23, 2000. I was there. Electric!!
Vicky is really a good guitarist, I'm impressed !
Yeah thanks for that mate
Great live performance...better than the original studio version. These are superb musicians.
this is such a well written song! many forget that ;)
Right, the brilliance of Jules Shear ... he has some really wonderful acoustic work and has written songs for Cyndi Lauper, Aimee Mann and Til Tuesday.
And performed perfectly
That was just beautiful with the harmonies. These ladies are super talented.
Drummer is excellent
The microphones love these lady’s...
So do the cameras.
The Bangles are one of the hottest bands ever 80s,90s,00s,10s,20s😍 🔥 😏 👌
The Bangles are the female Rolling Stones.
Hoffs ❤️❤️❤️
I relly love susanna voice she so pretty
Me too
Me too
Susanna is still so sweet
Susannah is lovely. Great voice and musician
Que bonito es ver a una mujer en la batería, sabemos que es el instrumento que más energía pide.
So underrated as musicians
Wow what awesome vocals.... outstanding performance...
I was always in love with the bass player, Micki Steele
Gross.
Spot on. Steele is keel of the boat. A heavy weight personality and a lady of sparkling substance. Of course she lies in the background, but boy, do I enjoy her presence.
@@Stan4488 Presence....an important word.
Same, she is the coolest and my favorite bass player of all time.
Really? I thought that was just me. Gorgeous girl.
Debbi is my favorite Bangle.
When the drums kick in ✊️😘💓💓

En mi juventud pues soy de edad parecido a ellas las escuchada pero con el paso de los años me he dado cuenta lo grande que son volvieron y me enganché de nuevo ,no esta Michael pero no han perdido su frescor un aplauso grande para ellas

Awesome
So good. Thanks.
...vicki plays mean jangly power pop guitar...
I love the Band!!!
Bangles were a great band with Michael Steele. Without her, they lose a lot, but are still pretty good.
Gary Simons can’t agree with you, Steele made the Bangles who they were
@@mickfunny4185 Another Michael Steele fan. Geez, how boring. Oh, wait..
.I forgot.....so am I.
Never mind....
Never heard the real story of why Michael left
💯 especial 💯💯💯💯💯
Year: 2000.
Divas
Now that be a Jumbo Taylor, beautiful, and thank you #JulesShear
In my next life, I'm going to come back as Susanna Hoff's husband (involves time travel into the past, etc, but who knows...)

They're good; but, c'mon!
There are some women like Ms.Hoffs who are hotter at 65 than 25
She's in her 40s here...
