Missing Persons were a phenomenal live band... saw many, many original concert performances in the '80s. But for this 'video,' the album track is dubbed over the soundboard recording (which was likely poor)...
Damn this songs goes off bigtime! What a true polished act Missing Persons were true pros with major hits! As usual Terry was terrifying attacking those drums as a man possed! I really dig the intensisity which he for lack of a better word "murders" the drums. Quite unique is his emotion as a provoked animal unleashed to play drum. Do study all their vids back then you will see waht I mean US drag live. Watch th animal seriously murdering those drums! I miss Missing Persons oh do I ever!
One of the most Kick Ass songs of all time.....all these years later I find out there was a promo vid....had no idea....THANKS for putting this up!!!!!!!!!!
To all the kiddies born in the late 80's who think Lady Gaga is God or something, I'll tell you her persona and looks would not have been possible if it weren't for Dale Bozzio of Missing Persons, Annie Lennox, Cyndi Lauper, Grace Jones, or Madonna to name a few. They were the originals. Lady Caca is just a recycled mash up of the original creators of the style.
Children, and I mean all you 20 somethings born in the late 80's who think Lady Gaga is the best, she and her look would not have been possible if it weren't for this group's lead singer, Dale Bozzio. She's the real thing. Since then, its been all imitations.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
too bad this isn't live. it is the video that was made with the fake audience in it. it is exactly, note for note and tone for tone, the studio version.
@ronnyboy1988 Blew up a lot of 6x9 sony's getting laid in the back seat of my car at the lake front in the 80's jamming to Missing Persons. Every girl wanted to be Dale. Oh and yeah she has LEGS all the way up to her ass. Thanks Dale!
@manginifan I love this song and band too, but no, Missing Persons were not way ahead of their time, they were very much part of and helped define the 80s.
okay and who did Dale take here look from? I remember people laughing at her and all her TUPPERWARE in the early 80s. Dont get me wrong i do love Dale and Terry is incredible! U people just make me laugh... there is more on this page about Gaga than Dale. Its just that ALL artists take from other artists thats just the way it is...
i remember when i first heard missing persons in 1982 on the radio it sounded pretty cool "Words".Then i went to the U.S.Festival 1983.I got to hear more of their music,and i became a big fan.Also saw got turned on to other new bands,Wall of Voodoo,Flock of Seagulls.I like Lady Gaga,Missing persons has a more rock sound and Lady Gaga is more club music.But if i was stranded on a deserted island and only had one record it would be Jimi Hendrix "Electric Ladyland"
I am so hard to impress. I never tire of SSMG!!! GA-GA-gag is such a compilation wana-be of other artists and a lot of unoriginal and uninformed people buy into her unimaginative slickness but
it's all smoke and mirrors and NO f'ing TALENT!! I AM SO OVER IT!
GA-GAG - is a total nasty hag. Has NO talent and she looks like she chases parked cars for aliving. Ga-gag probably has secret shrine to Dale in her hag lair. Diminutive Dale fronted the F out of M'ings Persons. Ga-gag is a compete bore. I do not listen to her barfy crap and have been listening top to MP for 20 years practically every day.
MagentaStrawbery you are oviously easily impressed and completely musically and artistically lost..and on somehting so so dev for sure. Girl what f'ing planet are you operating from. Barfy Ga-gag is not fit to have licked Dales vomit of her driod spikes on a bad night!! PISS OFF YOU whack job!!!Geeze I would honestly like to bi-atch slpa you for expressing something do idiotic. Go play in traffic!!!!
Lady Gaga was inspired by Dale. The thing is that the young people buying records never heard of Dale so they can recycle it and it works wonderfully. Copy a trend from 30 years ago and nobody will know the difference.
Boys & Girls they are BOTH great. If you like one better than the other, fine. No need to be a douche bag and put the other one down... What does that accomplish. I don't get the hate over musicians & music. You don't like it? TURN IT OFF. If it makes you happy, than good!
The only time I find my self mad at musician's is when they do or say stupid stuff in their personal life (independent of their music), or their music promotes, hate, violent, crime, drugs, materialism & misogyny.
I don't know what you all are complaining about, "Lady Gaga rips the hell out of Dale and will never be as talented" stfu. I'll admit that Lady Gaga's fashion is very similar but I'd take Lady Gaga's voice over Dale's any day, and her performances are much more entertaining. I'm not disregarding Dale's talent, which is obviously original, but Gaga definitely has a good number of modern (and original!) touches to her own material.
that is a fair comment..... Big Missing Persons fan. Dale is Dale, she was not a powerhouse singer, known for her squeak & chirps but fun, and she also wore pink hair & clear outfits like no one else could. Lady Gaga does have a better voice technically, plays keyboards and writes music. Gaga is more Pop/Disco and Dale is New Wave/Rock. Lady Gaga's fashion looks inspired by Dale, but has her take on it. Gaga & Dale are both Italian American and there's a small resemblance. Gaga can't help that.
i have to defend lady gaga for the amazing performer that she is. it is not fair to look at a few pictures of her wearing a few of her ever growing collection of provocating outfits and say that she impersonates dale bozzio. though you may be predispositioned to hate lady gaga i think you would be pressed to admit that she is an amazing singer and live performer who is original in that she is taking bits of the past and taking them to new heights by combining them with fresh things in new ways.
I'm so glad so many others get this; Lady garbage is an imposter...It makes me wish Wendy O williams were alive to give her the beatdown of a life time. Dale and Wendy could take turns kicking her in the stomach. I HATE RIPOFF ARTISTS!
Why the F did Wendy have to off her self damn...... she was a WILD woman..... kind of the female version of Iggy Pop. She made Gaga and Dale look like Disney and Hanna Montana. Despite her wild persona she was an animal activist and a healthy eating advocate.
The audio is definitely from the album, so this video doesn't work for saying it's a "tight performance"...but recommend you see the "US Festival" video. They do well, live.
Don't forget. Bozzio, Warren & O'Hearn came from the Frank Zappa camp. There's a certain level of musicianship you have to have to play with Zappa. Hence, the tight performance.
this is clearly because you have not heard enough. she is her own songwriter, designer, and stage show designer. she plays piano (and keytar) and she constantly changes up her songs show and outfits. watch her VMA performance. amazing in every apsect. also, there shouldn't be a comparison. dale and lady gaga are very different artists.
she scams off someone who created something original and never gives accolades. i don't think you'd like it if you had it happen to you. lady garbage is just gross; a freakshow. a female marilyn manson. all for shock value. lady gaga rips the hell out of dale and will never be as talented, she's just a new packaged product for sad consumers like you to eat up like sh*it so u don't notice the real world and whats going on in front of your face, she hasn't morals, values, self respect..just trash.
her vma the was disgusting; mocked jesus and everyone in the room was disgusted. dale is the original. I choose not to pollute my ears with garbage like that; hence why i'm posting on a missing persons vid; not lady garbages. and believe me; I've heard enough; she's over marketed and shoved into our ears.
YEAH!!!! ALRIGHT!!! That just gave me goosebumbs. Terry my favorite, He's a wicked,bad ass drummer. Very cool song.......I gotta watch that again.......Thanks Trac88!!!
boy does this bring back memories. i was in college and an art major and we thought these guys were the BOMB! and my hair was also about the same number of colors come to think of it.... :-)
Thank YOU! I thought the same thing. Lady GaGa ripped off Dale's image...completely! and unfortunately...fags and teenage girls everywhere have gobbled it up. Sad
I've been listening to a lot of post-punk/new wave for a while while kids my age are listening to Soulja Boi and all that trash, and I've been listening to Missing Persons long enough that the first time I saw Lady Gaga, I knew who she was trying to be.
What's even more annoying is that people are actually ignorant enough to believe that Lady Gaga is truly "original" while it's so clear to everyone who isn't blinded by MTV that she's a cheap impersonator and publicity whore.
i also noticed the similarities, but gaga is no impersonator. she is highly original. she writes her own songs, designs her own stage shows, and many of her outfits. from her cd, to appearances on american idol, SNL, the vma's, ellen degeneres ect.. you will notice that she frequently changes up the way she sings songs as well as her stage show and outfits. musically, lady gaga is nothing like the missing persons. at the most, a few of her plentiful outfits may have channeled dale bozzio.
Everyone in this band(except the keyboard player)Played with Frank Zappa.When Zappa heard this album before it was released he said"There's no reason why this wont be a commercial success".He was right.
L.A.'s "Missing Persons" consisted of a smooth innovative 'change up' of new wave mix. With the great sounding hiccuping voice of "Dale Bozzio," and her very good looking space aged looks, along with Husband Terry on drums, Patrick O'Hearn; base, Chuck Wild; keyboards, and Warren Cuccurullo on guitar, "Missing Persons" introduced the world to one of the greatest cosmic sounds and looks of the early 80's.
DAMN!! They kicked that songs ass all over the place WOOOOO!!! Love Missing persons! Dale was so money!! All the musicians were awesome but Terry beat t hose drums into the ground!!
WOW...I thought I knew and had SEEN everything from M.P online. Thanks for posting this. This happens to be my all time favorite song by them, and never saw the video of it. (Saw it live, but that was before digital cameras!) ha THANKS!!!!
One of the best bands from the 80's and one of my all-time favorites still! MP were one of the first bands to incorporate rock and new wave into their music, and do it so well!
Bozzios sticks would be all shredded to shit by the time he was done with a set back in the day. I had a couple I got from one of the stage guys after they played in NYC.
Bozzio is probably one of the greatest drummer ever, and as a band they complemented each other. This is a live recording, compare it to the album version. Missing Persons had superb talent, looks, musicianship, showmanship and their very own sound. In other words another kick ass band from the 80's and from my home town Los Angeles.
Terry, Warren and Patrick Shredding it up. You should have seen them in concert .) fucking Bozzio's shredded drumsticks flying everywhere. Awesome musical talent in this group.
I know this is going to sound so mean, But I like Pat Benatar better lol! Dale was a one hit wonder unlike most of the women in the 80's...NOT being mean here, but I would have liked to hear more great songs out of this band instead of just one great album. But yeah Dale was cool.
Missing Persons were New Wave, but they could rock out with the best of em. I remeber them being played on Rock Stations like KMET and KLOS back to back with bands like Boston and Def Leppard.
terry bozzio is a fucking monster drummer probably one off the best in the world he plays like he is from mars nothing comes closer on earth.he attacks them like a killer machine.
actually no. she is moderate height. but her art is 10' tall. Love Dale. Yummy. great person. It is such a kick to have this collection on youtube. very fond of Dale. Self made, navigated all the shit in life, she has. Not an easy thing. Maybe she'll live to be a hundred. She has such a strong "mom" instinct in this band, unflinching pioneer spirit.
I remember when MP first came on the scene. I was so into Ozzy and metal in general, I never paid much attention. Man did I miss out. I love these guys now!!!!

Ahead of their time. World-class musicians. The drums parts on this album are absolutely SICK - period. Just listen to the very end of this song for a mere tease. Love it.
OMG I've been looking for this video for years!! Thank you!! I was at this show! It was December 28,1982 at the Warfield Theater in San Francisco. They filmed the entire show but never broadcast it. A comedian named Dr. Gonzo was the opening act. It was a most memorable night out!!
hi there, saw your posting..there is the entire audio show of that particular Missing Persons that you attended at the Warfield Theater..it is online..drop me a message will send you the link
this song is so sick. seriously this band is beyond underrated. terry bozzio is unbelievable. the guitar work and bass lines are amazing. i love missing persons.
Does Dale have the longest legs ever? It's like legs, big round fake titties before everyone else had big falsies, and then the hair, with those gorgeous lips peeking through.. Loved that look.. To think now that the grade schoolers + buy the color clip extensions to add blue or red to their hair..lol
Terri Bozzio is definitely one of the top ten best drummers of all time. Perhaps even in the top five. And while Dale is nowhere near the top ten vocalists (nor 100 even for that matter) she too definitely demonstrates an equally talented performance in this song and video (not to mention the fact that she's pretty hot looking too). Both are "super hot" in this, their best song from either of their three albums (IMHO). Thanks for posting !
AH!!!!! Here we go. FANTASTIC!!! Somebody put the whole version up. I bow to you. That last and only version was only...what.....7 second long. THANK YOU for Posting the whole version. As I stated before "Terry the Master" behind the kit. Thank You

Thank YOU! I thought the same thing. Lady GaGa ripped off Dale's image...completely! and unfortunately...fags and teenage girls everywhere have gobbled it up. Sad

I agree.
I've been listening to a lot of post-punk/new wave for a while while kids my age are listening to Soulja Boi and all that trash, and I've been listening to Missing Persons long enough that the first time I saw Lady Gaga, I knew who she was trying to be.
What's even more annoying is that people are actually ignorant enough to believe that Lady Gaga is truly "original" while it's so clear to everyone who isn't blinded by MTV that she's a cheap impersonator and publicity whore.

she is a swagger jacker...lmao!!!

i also noticed the similarities, but gaga is no impersonator. she is highly original. she writes her own songs, designs her own stage shows, and many of her outfits. from her cd, to appearances on american idol, SNL, the vma's, ellen degeneres ect.. you will notice that she frequently changes up the way she sings songs as well as her stage show and outfits. musically, lady gaga is nothing like the missing persons. at the most, a few of her plentiful outfits may have channeled dale bozzio.

Everyone in this band(except the keyboard player)Played with Frank Zappa.When Zappa heard this album before it was released he said"There's no reason why this wont be a commercial success".He was right.

L.A.'s "Missing Persons" consisted of a smooth innovative 'change up' of new wave mix. With the great sounding hiccuping voice of "Dale Bozzio," and her very good looking space aged looks, along with Husband Terry on drums, Patrick O'Hearn; base, Chuck Wild; keyboards, and Warren Cuccurullo on guitar, "Missing Persons" introduced the world to one of the greatest cosmic sounds and looks of the early 80's.

Bozzios sticks would be all shredded to shit by the time he was done with a set back in the day. I had a couple I got from one of the stage guys after they played in NYC.

tempusfugit68 3 years ago
Bozzio is probably one of the greatest drummer ever, and as a band they complemented each other. This is a live recording, compare it to the album version. Missing Persons had superb talent, looks, musicianship, showmanship and their very own sound. In other words another kick ass band from the 80's and from my home town Los Angeles.

Missing Persons were New Wave, but they could rock out with the best of em. I remeber them being played on Rock Stations like KMET and KLOS back to back with bands like Boston and Def Leppard.

actually no. she is moderate height. but her art is 10' tall. Love Dale. Yummy. great person. It is such a kick to have this collection on youtube. very fond of Dale. Self made, navigated all the shit in life, she has. Not an easy thing. Maybe she'll live to be a hundred. She has such a strong "mom" instinct in this band, unflinching pioneer spirit.

Does Dale have the longest legs ever? It's like legs, big round fake titties before everyone else had big falsies, and then the hair, with those gorgeous lips peeking through.. Loved that look.. To think now that the grade schoolers + buy the color clip extensions to add blue or red to their hair..lol

This is why 1982 WAS (without a doubt) the best year of the entire 80's. As the 80's went on...FORGET IT. Music died a painful and agonizing death.

Terri Bozzio is definitely one of the top ten best drummers of all time. Perhaps even in the top five. And while Dale is nowhere near the top ten vocalists (nor 100 even for that matter) she too definitely demonstrates an equally talented performance in this song and video (not to mention the fact that she's pretty hot looking too). Both are "super hot" in this, their best song from either of their three albums (IMHO). Thanks for posting !
