No, I graduated many year's ago. I wanted the 45 of this back then but, ended up with the LP. It hit the trash can rather quickly and judas priest replaced it. Defenders of the faith I believe or maybe it was real hair band ratt? Outta the cellar? Who knows, busy year for me at 16yrs old.
Speaking as a guy who was a teen during the 80's, here's the thing I love about 80's music so much. We had huge mega stars and bands like Van Halen, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Cindy Lauper, Prince, The Police, Journey, etc. And you also had these smaller hidden gems like this great song by Giuffria that may not have had the chart success or the airplay the others did, but were still great songs that remain on my playlist today.
Come on! There's gotta be rockers from the 80s looking this up in 2023 like I did, turn it up when you hear it, there will never be anything like it, glad to be alive at that time era, 80s rock on forever !🤘🤘
@@gcord21 we have another station that's on repeat. I can tell the time of day based on what is playing. They swap stuff out every few months or seems. Rock on & carry on!
Mike " Madman" Markham illistrated how to build a time machine on your back porch ..only as far as we know 2mil watts and some utility power transformers with a couple rotating magnets causes an 800mi lateral trip..with 4 yrs into the future..
We didn't say that at the time of the 80s thinking it seemed to last forever flawless genius call it what u want.Gosh yikes omg scary getting old suxs and this Song in 84 is coming up to 40.Hard to believe half of it is in its 40s
I remember hearing all these great groups and songs like this back in the 80s when I was just getting into boot camp in San Diego we were playing the same songs after boot camp so we wouldn’t get thrashed by the DIs
Hahaha... I remember pulling over the Lamborghini a lot of times and parking it in the midst of the gameplay just to listen to those great 80s anthems. The Vulture, Emotion and Wave are still my favourites.
@@horatiohornblower170 most of us haven't been alive for 30 years Also 1980 was 40 years ago though I'll let you off because the 2010s might as well not have happened.
Guarantee that all 44 who gave thumbs down are under 30 yrs old and couldnt tell the difference between snot and applesauce.Music from the Eighties is timeless. The shit out now is disposable.
I'm 30 (born in 1984), but when I was in high school in the late 90's and early 2000's, I was listening to 70's and 80's music -- specifically rock and metal -- and ignored most of my generation's "hits." At the time I thought the current music of that period was horrible in comparison to the previous generations, but it's only become worse and makes the music I hated back then sound a lot better.
This is music!! Not the crap that exists today!! Giuffria was a great band!! Very talented and underrated!! Never got the respect that they deserved!! Every member of this band is just awesome!! David's vocals are fantastic!!
Back in the early 2000's I looked for this band's CD on eBay and it was fetching $90 and early in the UA-cam years you weren't able to find this video either. This is a much underrated and obscure band which never received its dues.
We all had everything to look forward to in our lives back then. Now all I can do is look back on those times with the realization that the anticipation of the future was better than the realities and, at least for me, wish I had lingered longer in the moment.
Gordon Gibbons what You said here is awe inspiringly true.....I'm 47 now and am like what the hell happened!? where did the years go...I had a jack blades Night Ranger haircut...tall tan and trim...32w 34L Levi's...endless energy and a will to rock like a wild man..a black 85 Pontiac trans am..a black book that took me on a pussy pilgrimage 4 or 5 surrounding counties wide...now I look like a broken down Goldberg.... 247 lbs. kojack bald..and 38w 32l levis and a belly that no matter how little I eat is always there....I quit smoking...drinking..and doing drugs...grew up ..got married...had kids...got divorced..and seems like I can't go back...and looking forward seems to suck...like the Eddie Money song.." I wanna go back"...and do it all over...but I can't go back I know."
John J. Rambo Hahaha!!!! Thanks for the laugh John! I'm right there with you buddy, almost word for word. Even at work I'm now the older timer looking forward to retiring probably being mocked by the new kids coming thru the door. I see people I grew up with and to a greater or lesser degree, we are all in the same boat. Some look great, some look terrible, some are dead. Others are financially set, others are broke and homeless, most are making there way like we are, day by day. I share your sentiments, I would give anything to go back and do it all over again.
Gordon Gibbons lol....too funny man...but yes we are alive and still going! it's funny that we are thinking about one day retirement is coming...and sooner than we think...in 15 years I'll be 62!? retirement age!!?? lol...but I swear I'll be playing me some Night Ranger and a little Def Leppard till the end! we just got stay alive brother! we can do it! (theme from Rocky playing)...cheers man.. glad I know theres other guys like me from the same time era that can relate to that mess..stay cool bro.....
No worries man. At least we were born at the right time to come up through Jr High, High school, and college with this music. We were lucky to be born at the right time. We are a lucky generation. I look at my nephews and the younger generation, they will never have these type of memories! Just a different time...
wahoodal0896 you said it brother...we lived at the perfect time in history...the 80s were awesome...the music, the women, the food even the money we made with endless overtime back then....there will never be a time as sweet... ever.
I was a kid in middle school when this song was popular, I remember loving it as I skated around in circles in a skating rink with a hairbrush in my back pocket.
I felt that comment! The Skatin’ Gator was our local skating rink complete with laser lights and disco ball. Private Eyes by Hall and Oates is a big memory from then as well.
What a voice this man can really really sing. This man is in the leauges with the StevePerrys JamiJamesons and LouGramms.Something todays music lacksis real raw talent without nasty or volgar content..
Music studios today choose their "artists" (I use the term liberally) for how pretty their faces are and how hot their bodies are, period. They figure whatever problem may exist with their voices can be fixed with Autotune. And of course the singers never need to write their own songs either. Today's "music" is nothing more than modeling.
chirag tolia Uhh, only on this song, the rest were just squibly. He should have gone the more melodic route back then and ditch the speed picking, be was too sloppy.
I'm a keyboardist. In my 50's, and bought the Giuffria cassette from the old RCA record club just on a whim. Found Angel going backward, and House of Lords later. A while back, my son was watching a video from a Spongebob episode with an epic song, and I INSTANTLY recognized the voice. So I have to ask; How many were led here by hearing "Sweet Victory"?
Giuffria should have been huge but had bad management. Just like Greg's old band Angel. Also too much BS with record company executives. What a shame!!
This could be the perfect early eighties song. Everything about it takes me right back in time. The clothes, hair, style of music, everything about this song screams 1984.
Great song!!! Brings up a lot of memories. Breakups in the 80"s were way different than they are today. (Just my opinion) Love this song. Wish I could go back in time. The 80's will forever be the greatest!!! To all who grew up in the 80's, lets keep the great music "Alive" and make sure to introduce it to the younger generations. They deserve to hear great music.My kids absolutely love the 80's tunes. Keep rocking!!
She came back! The girl I last saw in 1985, who I always thought of when I heard the line "Your love, I lost along the way . But darling, I'll find you someday" came back 10 years ago. Turns out we both spent those 25 years hoping to see each other again someday. Soon we'll celebrate our 9th wedding anniversary. Love you with all my heart Hun! Always especially enjoyed this song from what was one of my favorite albums in the 80's.
Tricia Star I think I had the 12” single back in the day. I bought a LOT of those for the reason you listed -the songs I liked weren’t long enough so gimme the remixes & loops of instrumentals 🤘🏻
I listened to three times already this morning it's only 806 am it's very addicting along with alot of the great musicians we had back then I guess as a kid you really don't notice until you are a adult what a great time it was I'd go back today to relive this awesome time
For those of you who are wondering, the lady in the video was an actress named April Clough. She was in the first few episodes of T.J. Hooker before being replaced by Heather Locklear in 1982.
I had no memory of this song or band til this popped up on my recommended. Now I remember loving this song back in the day. Video checklist: Ridiculous hair? Check Ridiculously tight pants? Check Wind machine? Check Fur coat? Check Drummer wearing sunglasses? Check Guy playing two keyboards at the same time? Check I think this could be the Most Perfect Eighties Video Ever. The only thing missing is the gauzy curtains/scarves blowing across the screen in slow motion, but their hair is so glorious it more than makes up for it.
Absolutely! Reconnected with a kindred spirit 18 months ago, unfortunately after she had made arrangements to relocate 1,000 miles away; 13 years after my first wife and first true soulmate passed away. The potentially devastating experience might have a happy ending after all. A year of online friendship has revealed to her that I had been planning since the 70's to set up a winter home not far from her new home as soon as my current home & future summer home was paid off next year. Hopefully she'll realize after two summers of 100°+ weather that the idea my grandparents inspired 40 years ago of keeping a house in our hometown could elevate kindred spirits to soulmates.
I spent my teens listening to these tunes. It was a spectacular era. If you like this, you will like White Lion - Wait, Skid Row - I Remember You, Tesla - Love Song, Cinderella - Coming Home, Steelheart - Never Let you Go, Slaughter - Fly To The Angels, ...and the list goes on and on.
One of the KOOOLEST things in this video that i just noticed is the 55 gallon drums with the Guiffria emblem painted on them & used as stands & props. My dad passed away in '99 but he had a chemical company that he opened in 1971 here in Mauldin, S.C. (near Greenville) that he ran for 30+ years & i worked there for him for ALL the 30+ years & these metal drums really give me GOOD memories & really takes me back to REMINISCE........I LOVE YOU DADDY & MISS YOU.........
This song holds many amazing memories for me of meeting the finest lady ive ever met in person while this song was playing, To giuffria, thanks for the memories as 1984 was one of the best years of my life
Still a great song and video. David Glen Eisley was a vocal dead-ringer for Steve Perry of Journey, and what a voice!! Always loved this song and still do. 👍🏻
I'm not a vocals expert, but can someone who is comment on the quality of his voice - or is this not a good song to use to judge?... His voice gives me chills - and I'm a straight dude!
Giuffria rocked! I got to see them in 1985 at the King Biscuit Flower Hour concert in Milwaukee. I still have the drum stick my brother caught at the show! Such memories......
This brings me back to my childhood when I first heard the song in 1984. I would later go on to buy both Giuffria albums and Angel's albums through the years and I can't figure out why both bands weren't much more successful. They had great songs and today more and more younger people are craving what isn't there in the current garbage mainstream music. When they hear actual instruments and no autotune I think they catch on. I'm nearly 45 and I can't say anything positive about my generation. All we had was greed and hate and selfishness except for the music. Still it was a simpler time I guess, but in a very narrow minded way. Give me the music back again, but that's it!
Saw these guys with Deep Purple Jan ‘85 what a treat……and DP was louder than any rock band I have ever heard live….side note saw KISS in the same week. Ears rang for 3 wks.
A great song from the 80,s ,Guiffria was a good underrated band MTV was always showing their videos, David Glenn Eisley has a great voice, shame he didn't get in another rock band
Revisiting this again... late 2021. God...What a time. The Roaring 80's. Just went and searched brief interviews with both Goldy and DG Eisley...and 'Found 'em. Just wanted to hear and see, where they're at now. Both seemed in good spirits and spoke quite well about past things and current things. Another thing i can't help but 'hear...listening to this one ( and certainly no slight to Eisley, as he sounds great on this) but...anyone else hear the Steve Perry' goin' on, in his voice. In this 'song, even?.... Could have easily been a Journey Hit. As if they didn't have enough of those... Lol! All around, just great memories of that golden decade of 'perfect decadence' and 'carefree youthful fun'...we all had. I was a drummer in my 20's... in a band called Northrup...in Sacramento. We were showcasing all over California... Johnny Edwards was our singer, who later went on to Foreigner for a time. All now...in a galaxy, far, far away.....
April 24th. There is a quarantine in my hometown. Living alone in my apartment ( and my cat Emma ). Drinking some ice cold beers and watching Giuffria. Hope you are everything alright and taking care of your love ones.
Is anyone else still jamming out to this great song in 2024??? ❤
daily
Yup!!! Right now on this snowy morning, Columbus OH.
Playing along on my Yamaha MX 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

The first few times I heard this I was CONVINCED it was Steve Perry. What a great song.
Também achei amigo que era
I thought it was Steve Perry myself. It does sound like a song Journey would sing
Love this music… Release date 1984. Early teens without a care. The years they fly, I wish I was there… again.

Ain't that the truth. This is one power ballad no one can top in today's music.
So true man. Today’s stuff is crap

Dave Eisley was my amazing singing neighbor when he lived and rehearsed in his mountain studio in Crestline during the 90's.
He sounds similar to Steve Perry. This could have easily been a Steve Perry song.
The drummer cracks me up. Everyone else is so serious, and he's like "I'm just here for the paycheck. Anybody got some gum?"

Reconnected with a kindred spirit 18 months ago, unfortunately after she had made arrangements to relocate 1,000 miles away; 13 years after my first wife and first true soulmate passed away. The potentially devastating experience might have a happy ending after all. A year of online friendship has revealed to her that I had been planning since the 70's to set up a winter home not far from her new home as soon as my current home & future summer home was paid off next year. Hopefully she'll realize after two summers of 100°+ weather that the idea my grandparents inspired 40 years ago of keeping a house in our hometown could elevate kindred spirits to soulmates.
Oh gawd!
That was a beautiful comment! Should be in the song!!!!😘
That last high note....DAMN! Eisley brings it!!
何度聞いても素晴らしい。壮大な空間が広がるような、荘厳な響き！夏聞くと涼しくなる。
Damn! I had forgotten how really good this song was,and still is. Brings back a lot of good memories too!
Always loved this song. Wish Giuffria did more like this.
I still have their album! This is such a great song and under rated/appreciated Band!
Thanks Bill!! Very cool thing to say!!
I have their cassette tape.
Love how the singer belts it out. Powerful !
One of the best songs from the early 80's
....My most dangerous years.
One of those 80's tunes you heard & never forgot!
greg giuffria of angel! possibly the best rock keyboard player of all time!
+TheTruthseeker59 Geoff Downes might be the best,this guy is good though.
Don't forget Rick Wakeman
or Derek Sherinian, Keith Emerson, Felix Hanemann, or Josh Silver
or paul taylor!
Jordan Rudess of Dream Theater...hands down! :)...but, I always did love Gregg's playing, especially with Angel.
Can't believe this was from 84. There was a lot of awesome movies and music that year.
I wonder what Giuffria thinks of these awful days. This music gives me respite in 2021.
Wish we could go back in time to see Giuffria again. Such a Talented and Awesome Band!
Great song. Wish i was young again
I'm glad I'm not the only one who misses the 80s , they were my Jr high an high school days, I'm the old guy now who cry's when I hear a 80s song.
I spent my teens listening to these tunes. It was a spectacular era. If you like this, you will like White Lion - Wait, Skid Row - I Remember You, Tesla - Love Song, Cinderella - Coming Home, Steelheart - Never Let you Go, Slaughter - Fly To The Angels, ...and the list goes on and on.
One of the most underrated singers ever
There were a lot of bands in the 80’s that didn’t get the radio play or recognition.Giuffria was one of those bands.
Anyone here in 2022? Love the 80s 🤘💥
One of the KOOOLEST things in this video that i just noticed is the 55 gallon drums with the Guiffria emblem painted on them & used as stands & props. My dad passed away in '99 but he had a chemical company that he opened in 1971 here in Mauldin, S.C. (near Greenville) that he ran for 30+ years & i worked there for him for ALL the 30+ years & these metal drums really give me GOOD memories & really takes me back to REMINISCE........I LOVE YOU DADDY & MISS YOU.........
There's NOTHING like 80's MUSIC!! PERIOD!! IT ALL KICKED ASS!!
A powerful song even after all these years.
When music and music videos were timeless!! I miss the 80s!!
Still a killer tune after all these years..Guiffria was classic and underrated...
This song holds many amazing memories for me of meeting the finest lady ive ever met in person while this song was playing, To giuffria, thanks for the memories as 1984 was one of the best years of my life
Nothing like the 80's. Best time.
This was such a Awesome song!! Reminds me of someone who was very dear to me!
This disc is sitting in front of me right now. I love Guiffria , House of Lords , And ANGEL ! GREGG was the MAN !
HA! Gotcha beat. I have the cassette...and yes I have several ways to play it!
Still a great song and video. David Glen Eisley was a vocal dead-ringer for Steve Perry of Journey, and what a voice!! Always loved this song and still do. 👍🏻
I don't really hear Steve Perry in his voice. To me, he sounds closer to David Coverdale.
I agree with you. He sounds a lot like Steve Perry . And looks similar to Coverdale . Great voice
@@yaboyblacklist2431 LOL he LOOKED like Coverdale, but sounded absolutely nothing like him.
happy days being young loads of hair and big dreams. why do we have to get older. still memories will never leave you..
Another great hit from the 80s.....thankful to be alive during that decade.....
This sound would have fit perfectly on Journeys Raised on Radio album.
Thank goodness I'm not alone!
Yes!
This tune takes me back to good times like no other WOW what a time!
ballads live forever. thank God for them.
80s were soo awesome too bad our younger peeps will never experience the power driven ballads
The hair in this group is most spectacular!
Brings back sweet memories...nothing like the 80's music. This music is and was the best!!
I'm not a vocals expert, but can someone who is comment on the quality of his voice - or is this not a good song to use to judge?... His voice gives me chills - and I'm a straight dude!
The great David Glen Eisley!!
@@RedtheCat2014 100% 80s at its best!
@@07jeepgirl Exactly!!! What a great time to be alive 🙂!!
i remember this on the radio 40 years ago. still rocks! bring back the 80s!
What a voice. Love this song!
Nah,boring song...👎😴👎
@@erwinstada1811 county music lover 🤮🤮🤮
Giuffria rocked! I got to see them in 1985 at the King Biscuit Flower Hour concert in Milwaukee. I still have the drum stick my brother caught at the show! Such memories......
Amen Bro
The time of the synthesizers. Awesome.
Scott Fox I fucking love 80s synth so much. especially while driving.
@@SusieSynth Me too
This song always brings a smile to my heart ❤️
I’ve always liked songs that rocked hard but end mellow. This is one of them! We need more bands like Guiffria 🎸
Giuffria ROCKS! Wish they had more than 2 albums. Yes, another awesome band from the 80's : ]
They have Giuffria 3 release a couple of year ago look on internet.
This brings me back to my childhood when I first heard the song in 1984. I would later go on to buy both Giuffria albums and Angel's albums through the years and I can't figure out why both bands weren't much more successful. They had great songs and today more and more younger people are craving what isn't there in the current garbage mainstream music. When they hear actual instruments and no autotune I think they catch on. I'm nearly 45 and I can't say anything positive about my generation. All we had was greed and hate and selfishness except for the music. Still it was a simpler time I guess, but in a very narrow minded way. Give me the music back again, but that's it!
This is frikin music.love it .good job gentleman.well done.
Thanks Ron!!
I saw Giuffria open for Deep Purple back in 1985 Tingley Coliseum, Albuquerque. Great show!
This song never gets old, tears me up every time I hear it...... one of my ALL TIME favorites!!!
THIS SONG HAS A SPECIFIC MEANING TO ME.....ABOUT A GIRL I LOVE TO THE MOON & BACK!!
IF ONLY SHE KNEW HOW MUCH I STILL CARE ABOUT HER 5YRS LATER....
@@Frankie-qb9fh Awww, me too! Isn’t that amazing how a song can do that?! ♥️💯✨🤘🏻
Omg for the longest time I thought this was Journey....no wonder it's not in their box set! 😅
It 2024 still loving this song!! ❤
Quintessential 80’s. Miss the decade, every single day.
Saw these guys with Deep Purple Jan ‘85 what a treat……and DP was louder than any rock band I have ever heard live….side note saw KISS in the same week. Ears rang for 3 wks.
A great song from the 80,s ,Guiffria was a good underrated band MTV was always showing their videos, David Glenn Eisley has a great voice, shame he didn't get in another rock band
Yeah, but he has one other well known hit, even if most people who know it don't know it's him.
Revisiting this again... late 2021. God...What a time. The Roaring 80's. Just went and searched brief interviews with both Goldy and DG Eisley...and 'Found 'em. Just wanted to hear and see, where they're at now. Both seemed in good spirits and spoke quite well about past things and current things. Another thing i can't help but 'hear...listening to this one ( and certainly no slight to Eisley, as he sounds great on this) but...anyone else hear the Steve Perry' goin' on, in his voice. In this 'song, even?.... Could have easily been a Journey Hit. As if they didn't have enough of those... Lol! All around, just great memories of that golden decade of 'perfect decadence' and 'carefree youthful fun'...we all had. I was a drummer in my 20's... in a band called Northrup...in Sacramento. We were showcasing all over California... Johnny Edwards was our singer, who later went on to Foreigner for a time. All now...in a galaxy, far, far away.....
One of my all-time favorite songs. Soooooooo underrated.
I remember dating a Girl who said she didn't like this song and from that moment I knew we didn't have a Future.......
One of the best songs ever!
No joke, when someone around me starts making fun of the 80s I take it as a slight red flag.
April 24th. There is a quarantine in my hometown. Living alone in my apartment ( and my cat Emma ). Drinking some ice cold beers and watching Giuffria. Hope you are everything alright and taking care of your love ones.
OMFG!!!...I've been trying to find this song for like 30 Years...I had it on cassette tape but couldn't remember name...So freakin' happy right now!!!
Killer slide guitar solo, fits perfectly!
Reliving the past is incredibly satisfying just by coming back to music like this.
