I was an 80's teenager and 1987 was probably the best year of all of them. You had Starship, Toto, Foreigner, Duran Duran, Michael Jackson, Huey Lewis, Cheap Trick all completely killing it and at their peak, to name a few. And then on the metal side it was equally as wild with Bon Jovi , Whitesnake, Priest, Cinderella, Guns n Roses. All this I was 16 and right in the middle of this musical hurricane.
I was into Slayer, D.R.I, Misfits, Dead Kennedys, Septic Death, Dr.Know, ill Repute, etc. And also still liked "radio/ Mtv" music. 1987 Freshman year! Miss it.
I had the pleasure and privilege to see these amazing guys live and loud and I gotta say it's like a dream come true. It blew my mind when I found out they was coming to my town to play closing out the season. We have live music in our downtown area every Thursday during the summer. It just so happen my fav classic rock band came and played. They put on one hell of a shindig. I'll never forget that night. Greatest band out there. There lyrics are out there on something's and simple with others. Nothing compares to the evolution of Jefferson Airplane. Jefferson starship and now just as they deserve. Starship!
I am a percussion-lovin' fool but, when it comes to '80s music, I have an equal love for the keyboards (synths included), and it sounds especially great (fitting) in this song! 🎹
Do you ever get that feeling? The one that twists your stomach into knots so tight that your only emotion is well up with tears and fly back to those times and wish you could stay? Yeah. Me too.
I tore my achilles playing basketball.. odds were I wasn't going to play competitively again. this was one of my comeback songs! I used to cry in triumph to this when I made it back to basketball. GO STARSHIP!
Its not over til its over----still standing with all my memories of this point in time. It was a new beginning for me , split with the wife of forever--since high school ,changed jobs ,moved---oh it was hell. Then saw this video on MTV--life just flowed right on with me and my dreams. The best part of my life was yet to come----THANKS STARSHIP---love you Grace and Mickey......!!!
I feel you, yesterday something brutal happened to me, I thought my dream was definitely over, and then I was in the car and this song came up out of knowhere, I've never heard it before. I hope I can share a history as yours! And I think I got he message
I'm a black person but I can tell you right now somebody's rock and roll musics in the 70s 80s and 90s I totally fascinating. And I thank God as I get older my music taste gets different
Wow! I have been waiting for this video on UA-cam. I only saw this once in the 80s. I watched no way out, we built this city, nothing's going to stop us now, and this takes cake!
Jefferson Airplane/Jefferson Starship/Starship had a total of 17 U.S. Billboard Top 40 hits from 1967 to 1989, including 8 Top 10s. Of those, 3 hit #1. This song was their penultimate Top 40 and final Top 10 hit, peaking at #9. It was over.
This man might just be the most outstanding vocalist EVER! He's one of my influences grew up with their music. Just so passionate and emotional. We need inspirational songs like this again. BTW this would be a great locker room song for a hockey team. They'd win every game! Just brilliant lyrics too.
I don't know why, I've never heard this song until today. And what a day to hear it for the first time......... Really! What a Day! Never heard this song before but damn I don't think this is coincidence. Great song! and yes.... I'm against all odds
Yup. I dont like getting political in music video comments but youre absolutely right. this song perfectly describes whats going on in the US right now with the election. Merry Christmas!
This is the first song I heard from Starship (under their new name). After getting hooked on this and Its Not Enough, I listened to Nothings Gonna Stop Us Now, from that movie soundtrack (I forget the name). Then I started revisiting all their classic hits from the 60s..,Somebody to Love etc. Stuff I grew up with when young, that I hadnt heard in years!! 😍😎
there is also a movie starring Bill Hader and Kristin Wiig, wherein they both sing the song as a duet together. I think it was called something like The Skeleton Twins, but dont hold me to it.
As someone who prefers the predecessors to this band by a mile!! (Jefferson Airplane and Jefferson Starship for those who don't know) This is a great song and really probably the only song by this version of the band I can tolerate.
@Douglas-Lee Dempster A funny, yet embarrassing thing I did when I was a kid. The movie Mannican played on the movie channels often for a couple of Summers. "Nothings Gonna Stop us Now" was that movies theme song, right. So after the movie was over in the early afternoon, I went outside and started swinging an empty plastic outdoor trash can around in a circular motion, while singing that song at the top of my lungs, "and we can build this thing together, standing strong forever, Nothings Gonna Stop us Now...." Haha! I didn't know anyone was watching or going to hear me, until our neighbor opens her door, walks out to check her mail, then looks right at me. I stopped and froze immediately while feeling super embarrassed. The neighbor said, "don't stop on account of me, pretend I'm not here", followed with loud laughter. I knew she was being sarcastic and making a joke about the awkward situation. After she went back in her house, I ran back inside my parents house feeling a bit humiliated, but got over the cringe worthy feeling later that evening.
51 people love being loosers I guess! WOW!!! This is a truly awesome song! It's a shame they don't make em like this anymore! Groups like Starship, Toto, Scorpion, Styx, Survivor, Forigener,Night Ranger, Journey, Reo Speedwagon, and Kansas are the last of musical geniuses that bring heartfelt soul, grit and meaning!
This song describes the daycare I work at. We are like family....no....we are family! We love and care for our children and their families.And we will fight to keep it right and stay here for these families that need us. We love them and their children!
Huge moment in rock and roll history. unmatched video effects combined with top-notch writing. This video continues to age like spam on hot asphalt - in the mall parking lot
“It’s Not Over (‘Til It’s Over)” (1987) was Starship’s fourth Top 10 hit in less than two years. It was released 20 years after the epic “Summer of Love” (1967), when the band was known as Jefferson Airplane. Back then, Jefferson Airplane had a huge following among hippies*, especially in the San Francisco area. As the group evolved into Jefferson Starship (1974) and then Starship (1984), their tunes became more polished and radio-friendly. Instead of drugs, war or revolution as inspiration, they recorded numerous catchy love songs. 💛☮️💚 * “Hippies” got their name because they were “hip” or aware of what was going on in the world 🌎 around them. The hippie movement grew out of the earlier beatnik movement, which was a group of non-conformists living in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco.
To All People over the World. We can stand together to fight for peace, economic crisis and humanity. "IT'S NOT OVER TILL IT'S OVER" guys. DO NOT EVER YOU ALL GUYS GIVE UP TO WHATEVER YOU FACE IT. LOVE AND PEACE (Nov' 27, 2022)
This was Starship's final top ten sing ever back in 1987. They would never have another top ten hit but it was to be that way then they went out with a bang. A great tune that it reminds when I reconciled with a then girlfriend of mine. Sadly we broke up for good a year later .

I graduated in 87 was a great year.🐱
Sure was I graduated in 1987 as well.❤
I agree Mickey has a voice you want to hear all the time.
No one can forget Grace Slick. One of the best female rock voices of all time !
Except that’s Mickey Thomas singing the lead on this song.
Legendary voice 🎙
We Built this City on ROCK AND ROLL XOXOXO
The 80s always has the best guitar solos.
best music era ever
Amen😊😊😊

And so MANY GREAT Artists! phenomenal!
@@livehealthyberich3160 🥰🎼😭As they say Legends Never❤️Die🎼Rockn! SweetCheers!
I was into Slayer, D.R.I, Misfits, Dead Kennedys, Septic Death, Dr.Know, ill Repute, etc. And also still liked "radio/ Mtv" music. 1987 Freshman year! Miss it.
The ‘70’s, and especially the ‘80’s-a song for every memory.
Music from a far far better time... I lived it... I miss it....
Man how I wish sometimes I could go back to the 80's
😂🎉😅🎉❤
Até eu gostaria. Foi muito , muito bom.
It would go back in a New York minute..❤🎉. It sucks so bad now ..the 80s were the best time of my life ❤❤🎉🎉
You got that right if we could I'd go back and never go to the future..❤i stay stuck in the 80s. .
Can we appreciate how good Mickey Thomas is?
Was this song ever in any movies?
If not, IT SHOULD BE!!
Playing for Keeps
Grace Slick . B E A U T I F U L , Good looking Lady , Awesome Band !
My favourite Starship song. It really deserves a lot more love. As a band, these guys were as solid as any.
Perfect workout music!!
I could listen to Mickey Thomas sing the phone book. What a killer voice! ❤❤❤
Sharon Egan agreed! I also loved his voice with Grace’s! It’s sad she retired!
I always loved his voice,,!!! 🤟💣👍
Mickey, is one of my favorite lead singers.
We play for KEEPS!
The keyboards in this song, are catchy and Brillant. This song was way underrated!
Cannot understand why this song didnt get more airplay. Its Starship hardest song by far.

Just saw the remaining members in Deadwood, SD & they killed it! 🤠
That sound of The 80's. Magic.
I am a percussion-lovin' fool but, when it comes to '80s music, I have an equal love for the keyboards (synths included), and it sounds especially great (fitting) in this song! 🎹
As a keyboard/piano player myself, that’s a heck of a setup for 1987!
God how I miss being a kid growing up to AWESOME MUSIC like this!!!
Rewind is a phrase now. Used to be a word
Amen 🙌
M
Same
so right you are
This would make a great soundtrack to a movie. If only movies today could have music like this.
Was just thinking that it would fit the 1st Terminator ost perfectly.
this song was actually in a movie a year before this was made, it was on the Playing For Keeps Soundtrack back in 1986 by Chris Thompson
If only movies 2day were set in those times.
@@SillySandyAJ "Christopher Columbuuuus!" lol omg, that movie. haha
@@gwenda2808 im just happy someone else heard of it
Do you ever get that feeling? The one that twists your stomach into knots so tight that your only emotion is well up with tears and fly back to those times and wish you could stay? Yeah. Me too.
Still listening to this in 2021
Mickey Thomas what a voice... Amazing..loved this song since 1998 when I was 18 and started getting into amazing 80s stuff. x
STARSHIP,it is not over TILL it is over.

What a great song. Miss the 80s
Me Too!! Wish we could go back to that time. We didn't have any cares or worries. But we had the music!!
Agree 100 percent guys
Nothing can come close to the 1980’s beat and sound.
Simply fantastic.
I love so much Starship, who is listening in 2022? Amo demais Starship, quem esta ouvindo em 2022?
Still listening and having pleasure.
2023

- Wicked tune by Mickey Thomas & Starship! Didn't hear this tune until recently...very, VERY underrated song for sure!

Listening in 2021. I will always listen to Starship
2021!
Amazing Mickey`s voice!!!!. love him!!!!!
Saw Starship two weeks ago tonight at Topsfield fair in Massachusetts. Mickey still has an amazing voice at 73… they put on a great show ❤️
Jefferson Airplane/Jefferson Starship/Starship had a total of 17 U.S. Billboard Top 40 hits from 1967 to 1989, including 8 Top 10s. Of those, 3 hit #1. This song was their penultimate Top 40 and final Top 10 hit, peaking at #9. It was over.
A great song by Starship and it's great to see Grace Slick, again. Music past this will never be as good. I'll just keep listening to my old CDs.
This man might just be the most outstanding vocalist EVER! He's one of my influences grew up with their music. Just so passionate and emotional. We need inspirational songs like this again. BTW this would be a great locker room song for a hockey team. They'd win every game! Just brilliant lyrics too.
Mickey Thomas, originally from Cairo Georgia.
Derek Miller one of my favorite Bay Area bands starshi

I don't know why, I've never heard this song until today. And what a day to hear it for the first time......... Really! What a Day! Never heard this song before but damn I don't think this is coincidence. Great song! and yes.... I'm against all odds
Anthem of this nation right now!!!
Yup. I dont like getting political in music video comments but youre absolutely right. this song perfectly describes whats going on in the US right now with the election. Merry Christmas!
Anthem of this WORLD right now!!! Some erased, silenced or numbed... "WE STILL STAND A CHANCE....IT´S NOT OVER TILL ITS OVER".
It's over.
You're not paying attention it goes way bigger than that.
Micky and Grace a gift from God!
Oh yes the 80s music had always the good best guitars and keyboards
This could have been a Foreigner song, too. Both amazing bands. And I always wanted to see a Chicago and Starship Tour.
This video just radiates happiness!
Even tho it was simple, it still looked SO COOL! 🥰
Join this fantastic music.
My fav starship song..rockin hard with a message..play for keeps!!
Loved them in the 80's! I miss that era so bad! 💔💔💔
Hi missy hope you're okay?
The 80s never die.
Fantastic motivational music 🎶 🎵
Great video
Yes💜❤️🥰😍👌🙏👍🦁🐎🍀
No Protection is one of the best albums from start to finish. This song is my pump up song. It's not over, until it's over.
Definitely 👍🏻
I agree,this is a good anthem song. And still a classic.
Grace rocks!
I LOVE this guitar solo, slighty different from the album's version. Amazing Chaquico!!
This is the first song I heard from Starship (under their new name). After getting hooked on this and Its Not Enough, I listened to Nothings Gonna Stop Us Now, from that movie soundtrack (I forget the name). Then I started revisiting all their classic hits from the 60s..,Somebody to Love etc. Stuff I grew up with when young, that I hadnt heard in years!! 😍😎
The movie was Mannequin
I like this one. Starship and its not over
there is also a movie starring Bill Hader and Kristin Wiig, wherein they both sing the song as a duet together. I think it was called something like The Skeleton Twins, but dont hold me to it.
As someone who prefers the predecessors to this band by a mile!! (Jefferson Airplane and Jefferson Starship for those who don't know) This is a great song and really probably the only song by this version of the band I can tolerate.
Still listening 2021...lt's not over...!!!
I'm going to be blasting this song while speeding down the street in my Mazda Miata during my midlife crisis.
One of the most inspiring motivational songs of the century.
3D Editor, I agree.

How This song was not in an 80s movie I have no idea
This is a very inspirational song and one of my all time favorites. 👍🏻👍🏻

I go crazy with this song. Something which i cant explain oh what a feeling
Genesis Aswell Brother
@Starchaser you're well informed.
@Starchaser thats alot i like it
ドラムがキレの太くてかつキレのある音で非常に良い！😍
This Song Went To Number 9 On The Billboard Hot-100 Chart In 1987.
It should have been at least #3 or #2 if not #1 in the charts.
Mickey. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This song describes the daycare I work at. We are like family....no....we are family! We love and care for our children and their families.And we will fight to keep it right and stay here for these families that need us. We love them and their children!
Loving the 80s Guitar
Tune !! 💯🎤
I've always loved this song since it came out. I always thought "if there was ever a song that should be in a 'Rocky' movie, this is it!
Love this song. Still have the vinyl single 😄
Huge moment in rock and roll history. unmatched video effects combined with top-notch writing. This video continues to age like spam on hot asphalt - in the mall parking lot
I've never heard that analogy before - did you write it? Im genuinely curious.
Long live the 80s music ❤

From original soundtrack from Playing for keeps!
With out question grace slick will always be one of the most beautiful ladies in music history
Fun song.............thanks to Craig, Mickey, and the rest of the band.
El tecladista es simplemente magnífico! Me encanta en "No way out" y otras...

I remember rolling in the hot sun on a 1985 Honda 250R through the corn fields and golf course and down the roads,, growing up in the 80s ruled!!!
Mega banda esta, os anos 80 época única de músicas boas
I like this song.
Want to see more of Grace in this video, she is not show too much, a bit of seperation to two great singers
YES Love his voice and energy ❤️
Desde Argentina 🇦🇷 disfruto la mujer música de la historia...
Starship uno de los mejores grupos de rock de los 80 yo no había escuchado está canción las otras si buen temazo
Starship, best band ever!
No one really thinks they're the best ever, right?
@this week in the 80s this is my opinion.
It was never over for Starship. They just kept changing their name!
Good song! 🥰🥰 🎼👌🎵😎😍
Thanks starship!! Great and beautiful song!
This song is total magic.perfect.
I was birn '83. But sometimes i wish iwas teenager in this decade. I love tge style and the music so much.
80's Ruled, you can't argue! Never be another time like it sadly.
Great Great dance hit! Nothing depressing here.
Great Starship Song, can listen over and over, it's not over till it's over, yes !!!!
I agree cousin Michael.
This was Starship's final top ten sing ever back in 1987. They would never have another top ten hit but it was to be that way then they went out with a bang. A great tune that it reminds when I reconciled with a then girlfriend of mine. Sadly we broke up for good a year later .
Haven't heard this since summer, 1987
