They often opened for acts nothing like them and unappreciative audiences who failed to realize they were listening to what were quite probably the finest woman's group ever. Their songs will live on in my memory as long as I am here. Maggie, may you rest in peace.
I’m on the twilight side of 50. I have always loved music of all genres. I was introduced to The Roches via “Please, Mr Sellack” during my waitress days. I was instantly captivated. Lifelong fan.
This is phenomenal. It's extra special knowing they conveyed something so delicate through a audience waiting for a rock show. Just a testament to their talent and will.
I saw The Roaches in concert at the University of Kentucky as a young adult in 1981or 1982. My companion and I loved them and had such a fun time! These songs being back a flood of memories of a joyful time of my life. For me, it almost seems like yesterday in some strange way, yet it feels so odd to know it was almost 40 years ago! Where has time gone? Ah, the joys of youth! Thank you for posting this magnificent trio of incredible talent and personalities.
Still one of my favorite songs ever. The harmonies and the bravery of this song. Not so subtle criticism of the double standard; married men having affairs but “all of that time in hell to spend” for the women? It takes two to tango folks. All of those married men will get to reunite with theses gals in hell? Oh, the sweet biting social commentary here.
This song was one I listened to back in the 70's. Phoebe and LInda's version. They were so brave to sing this song back then. I am a songwriter and this song came back to mind a couple years ago. I'm wondering what you think the audience response would be today???????? Please chime in!!!!
100%. To be a grown up male adult is to own our side of the power imbalance. If dudes cannot do this, they’re just farting in the wind as hard as they can, signifying nothing but their eternal adolescence. And that’s a shame, bc males growing up could easily start with understanding the Roches 💯
@@teribiniononutube Watched Phoebe and Linda's SNL's performance last night (along with their exuberant "Shoop Shoop Song," and found my way here. The song does skewer the double standard, but it was a paradoxical time in my opinion. I came of age in the 70's and though the sexual revolution was in full swing. Love and commitment was decoupled from sex and yet it was still frowned upon to cheat with a married man. Interesting how some women, now in their 30's and 40's, are now saying "sexual freedom" diminished their esteem and contentment. Louise Brooks is making the podcast rounds discussing her book on this topic. A great song like this was not only beautiful but provocative.
My first words were a line in this song. As an adult, listening to this song provokes so many emotions. Their voices, so so beautiful. The way they harmonize, you can literally feel it in your being
Thank you so much for posting this (and with the story too). I wasn't previously aware of how the sisters had to perform this in such hostile circumstances. Now I do, it's impossible to have anything but the greatest respect for their beautiful delivery of such a Roches sort of song. That arrow passed right through me. RIP Maggie.
The applause at the end was polite but not wildly appreciative. Anyway, Maggie, Terre and Suzzy were so brilliant weren’t they? Great songwriting AND performance skills.
First heard sung by Pheobe Snow... but my (sadly deceased) friend brought me eventually to original version.... because reminded him of me.... thanks mate!
I only learned of them and their talent, from seeing that they sang back-up vocals on Paul Simon's song, Was A Sunny Day. It was written in the liner notes of a 12" vinyl album, back in 1973--the year I graduated high school, in Ohio. Remember those nice, large 12" album jackets? The information might be on the CD's today. But, I only chanced to read it because it was large enough to see. They often showed beautiful art and photos, too. I'm not down on modern technology. I use it every day. Still, "for everything that's gained there's something lost". Dan Seals.
Lyrics: One in Louisiana One who travels around One of 'em mainly stays in heart-throb town I am not their main concern They are lonely too I am just an arrow passing through When they look into my eyes I know what to do I make sure the words I say are true When they send me off at dawn Pay the driver my fare They know I am goin' down somewhere O the married men The married men Never would have had a good time again If it wasn't for the married men One says he'll come after me Another one'll drop me a line One says all o' my agony is in my mind They know what is wrong with me None of 'em wants my hand Soloin' in my traveling wedding band O the married men The married men Makes me feel like a girl again To run with the married men One of 'ems got a little boy Other one he's got two One of 'ems wife is one week overdue I know these girls they don't like me But I am just like them Pickin' a crazy apple off a stem Givin' it to the married men The married men All o' that time in hell to spend For kissin' the married men
I was in the last row at the Wax Museum in DC (parking lot now)& 'we' were taping: 2 of the same decks/Mics- mine was snagged at the door to be returned after-show. When they did Hallelujah Chorus & a few more: '84's 'Another World' Tour. I was a buffer & our mutual Friend the same on the Left side of the Mic/Deck-safe & clear; NO noise in the Mic. When they hit perfect pitch as a Trio- I saw as I felt- every, tiny little hair shaking w/the electricity in the Air from the front row at Stage to us in the rear row- ALL HEADS TURNED TO EACH SIDE (known or not!) conveying 'Do YOU FEEL that also‽' silently. I spent that night at the house of a stranger but another Taper making copies of a few things we'd just seen together, et al. One I'd later tell the members of IABDay You should release (& I gave them the date before a reunion show of the 2nd line up- mostly the same members except for the Babe Singer & Linda LaFlamme (#1). It's the 2CD Set w/Green- Yellow poster Art on front & starts with Creed Of Love. ✓
In 1982-1983, I lived in Marin County in California. There was an "alternative" station there called KTIM (not sure of the FM frequency) that played a lot of Roches pieces. I've loved them ever since and I miss KTIM.
Acoustic opening acts get thrown to the lions, at rock concerts. I saw the Incredible String Band open for CNN. You'd think that would work - but it didn't. The audience was rude and disinterested. And not quiet!
I have loved them for many decades!❤❤
I think a lot of people would agree with me that Maggie was a rare talent and will be desperately missed. I loved The Roches.

I hung out in high school in New Jersey with Maggie and Terre.
Weeping. So beautiful. They were just an arrow, passing through.
I love the chords they sing so much, they hit me so hard.
Maggie’s talent and vulnerability gave the band the emotional power it had. RIP to a star
The first concert I ever saw was The Roches in Boulder, CO in February of 1984. I was 15.
💕
Celia awesome super great first concert pick.
Maggie, we miss you dearly.
I didn’t know we had lost Maggie until reading your comment. I’m in pieces. The Roches are one of the highlights of my life. Stay safe everyone.
Those girls were great, they did really nice Shows... Funny, entertaining, Melody, Harmony ,Truth &much Beauty ***
We’ll always have this!
“Want Not, Want Not” is another cautionary tale!
Thank you Roches
This is phenomenal. It's extra special knowing they conveyed something so delicate through a audience waiting for a rock show. Just a testament to their talent and will.
Largely Lovely !!
Great soundtrack for one of the best movies ever--CROSSING DELANCEY. One of the sisters had a role in the movie.
Yes, Suzzy did.
Married Men - one of the best songs. Losing True is another one.
literally the voice of an angel, R.I.P. Maggie.

How ironic KENTUCKY IS HERE!!!
just found this band what cool songs
I got to see these great girls at The Bottom Line, fantastic memory!!
Soloin' in my travelling wedding band
They sing straight from the heart.

I pity anyone who has never heard the beautiful voices of these women
I miss them. Got to see them at Universal Amp back in the 70s. Very tight show. I’d never even heard of them and the next day I bought to lps
Maggie just glows! What a soul.
How can such a talent die?
My first words were a line in this song. As an adult, listening to this song provokes so many emotions. Their voices, so so beautiful. The way they harmonize, you can literally feel it in your being
Love this song. To paraphrase Whitman: do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself.
i love The Roches so much

I just read about the Boz Scaggs fiasco. Why didn't their managers put them with similar acts instead?
@@ClarenceFisher what happened in that one?
this makes me sad. so beautiful
Can't believe I'd forgotten how great this stuff is. Wonderful.
Thanks so much for posting.
The applause at the end was polite but not wildly appreciative.
Anyway, Maggie, Terre and Suzzy were so brilliant weren’t they? Great songwriting AND performance skills.
They were the best.
Suzzy and Terre still record and perform, as does Suzzy's daughter, Lucy.
Maggie had such a great vocal range! She could sing with both a deeper and a higher voice! So amazing!
First heard sung by Pheobe Snow... but my (sadly deceased) friend brought me eventually to original version.... because reminded him of me.... thanks mate!
Wow. I didn't know Phoebe Snow covered this. Will need to look around for it.
Original and beautiful. X

Lyrics:
One in Louisiana
One who travels around
One of 'em mainly stays in heart-throb town
I am not their main concern
They are lonely too
I am just an arrow passing through
When they look into my eyes
I know what to do
I make sure the words I say are true
When they send me off at dawn
Pay the driver my fare
They know I am goin' down somewhere
O the married men
The married men
Never would have had a good time again
If it wasn't for the married men
One says he'll come after me
Another one'll drop me a line
One says all o' my agony is in my mind
They know what is wrong with me
None of 'em wants my hand
Soloin' in my traveling wedding band
O the married men
The married men
Makes me feel like a girl again
To run with the married men
One of 'ems got a little boy
Other one he's got two
One of 'ems wife is one week overdue
I know these girls they don't like me
But I am just like them
Pickin' a crazy apple off a stem
Givin' it to the married men
The married men
All o' that time in hell to spend
For kissin' the married men
All around just always fantastic lyrically and musically.
so, so nice
They are really beyond wonderful.
My favorite all time band. Best harmonies, lyrics and arrangements.

Says thé Mickey Jupp...?
Certainly one of them. ;)
Perfection!
Awesome!

KTIM was awesome. I miss it and I miss the Roches... RIP Maggie
video quality, yeah, its a bit worn out, but it does the trick. the audio is freakin great.
Just amazing !!!!
A masterpiece
So glad Phoebe Snow and Linda Ronstadt duetted this song together and made it awesome
chills!
Lovely
WOW.
Amen
Hearts can sing!
Acoustic opening acts get thrown to the lions, at rock concerts. I saw the Incredible String Band open for CNN. You'd think that would work - but it didn't. The audience was rude and disinterested. And not quiet!
Screw the audience and screw the Go-Gos too. I will always love the Roches. The Go-Gos?
They're both great, but The Roches were transcendent, especially this album. It's just too bad the audience were idiots.
Who are the go-go's?
I am just an arrow passing thru
That line…..it really pierces the heart.
@@freetomato don't give me that bullshit about me breaking someone's already fucked up heart
@@DUHORIGINAL007 OK! (…….backs slowly away….)
@@freetomato oh great I get penalized for using my own material
Strong Wii Sports vibes from this
All that time in hell to spend for kissing the married man...Such a good song
🍒🍒
Apparently a GoGos audience. I want to find out what they are saying at the beginning.
I couldn't make it out either... must be some German banter, but obviously the sisters weren't impressed.
definetely English yelling! my guess is American tourists.
My last two 'girlfriends' were married women... now I fancy a married man...
They were so cool. Didn't give a crap what some dumb Go-Go's fans thought.
Let no man put asunder
Wonderfull music. Everybody should see this! BUT the germans comes and take it down and put it in a locker forever! That is not how you treat art!
