apb Shoot you down

[DetroitDiesel671]

Sounds like I'm playing the album track at double speed... Why so fast? It's almost like they want to get the concert over with so they can go home.

I've been hoping someone will post the original promo video for this song, I remember it had cool WWII footage in it.

[heresmyfunnyname]

cant see the video.... wtf?

[TheCodeLyokofreak]

@heresmyfunnyname what vid?

[heresmyfunnyname]

@TheCodeLyokofreak this video... all i get is the audio, no picture.

[TheCodeLyokofreak]

@heresmyfunnyname yeah you right

[heresmyfunnyname]

@TheCodeLyokofreak bummer, i was at this show back in "86

[TheCodeLyokofreak]

@heresmyfunnyname cool. i wasnt even born in 86

[heresmyfunnyname]

@TheCodeLyokofreak i was 21 back in '86. it was great going to the ritz, seeing great bands play live back in the height of the new wave era. alot of cool punk bands played the rizt too. these day , as with the ritz, are all gone now.

[unguidedtour]

@heresmyfunnyname I was there, too. The great old Ritz, gone but not forgotten.

[erell2]

Iain, just waouuuuuuuuuuu!!!!

[moschops12]

I attended Stony Brook in 1984 too- didn't go to the concert, but loved these guys back then.

[asafan]

I saw these guys apb at stony brook university 1984 i sat on the stage the WHOLE concert which was good.

Big Up To Funktuall!

[funktuall]

Your Welcome! Big-up to Matt Pinfield who also championed this record!

[actionjackson4441]

Fuckin fantastic. i grew up on this shit.. i love it

[rdaly333]

I think this show was in February because I remember my yellow canvas converse hightop sneaker got lost in the mosh pit/dancecircle and after the show I had to run across the villiage wearing only a sock on my left foot and the ground was covered with frozen snow and ice. An epic night in the Villiage!

[shnaggletoother]

A 20-yr mystery has just been solved: the catchy funk/punk song I recorded off a college radio station as a teenager in NJ now has a band name: APB. The song I taped was "Palace of Love" (which, until today, I thought was called "Just You and Me", and labeled as such back in the day). Whenever WLIR or WFDU or WNYU played this band (which they often did), I vaguely caught the band name as "ABP" or "APP", but now I know for sure. Thanks for the upload. (I remember WNYU: "This Is Pop!")

[shnaggletoother]

I've just been corrected: the song I taped is called "Palace Filled with Love". 20-odd years later, and I'm still having trouble the song's name!

[newwavelives]

Why APB was not huge in the entire United States, I will never know. Here on Long Island we LOVED them and still do. Please come back to play for us again soon. This song is WLIR in the 80's.

[Jhensy2001]

Yep! Any LIR fan remembers this one forwards and backwards. Great song, amazing it didn't catch on nationwide.

[nyladydi]

Still Brilliant, no matter how many times I hear them! Seems like only yesterday. Hurry back to Long Island guys and bring Mikey with you.

[spittal69]

Such an awesome band!

Wish i wasn't so young and I might of actually seen them live! :( Sheer genius, i love you guys!

[Dodapb]

Wish we were so young!

Thanks for the kind words.

[halandreos79]

@spittal69 .......i show them live! 1987!

[strangeromance1]

This was my favorite song when it came out-"Shreik of the Week" or something like that. If WLIR and WDRE were not around I would have missed just hearing those shows over the radio because I was too young (according to my family) to go to any of them-Even when my aunt was willing to take me:( Thanks for posting this!

[Gallomac]

APB. Fantastic Band. What an ALbum. Joey O = I will never give it a rest.

[lmqdefaria]

WLIR!great radio station! 91.7! With its office in Garden City, Nassau! good memories.

Do miss N. York. Who saw ministry at studio 54or even better, at the Ritz Peter Gabriel singing "Shock the Monkey",Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Flock of Seagulls or the Fixx

Grandes saudades, thats my Fado.

It is great to still see all those bands in the Utube, an epocque of melody rythm and inspiration.

And by the way who was in APB's concert at lido beach, LI, in 88 or so?

Good ones from Portugal

[BrewsterMom]

God, I miss WLIR!!!! Oh, the happy times I spent holed up in my room listening to the radio cramming and writing papers.

[katgrrrl]

Does anyone know where I might be able to download or purchase (on CD) APB's "When I Feel This Way"?

[Dodapb]

Hey Katgrrrl, This track is not available on any CD currently. Iain of apb may be placing it on the myspace page sometime soon but he is out of the country at the moment.

Best wishes

George

apb

[katgrrrl]

Muchisimas gracias, bro! I'll definitely keep an eye...and an ear out for it!

[katgrrrl]

Hey, don't forget Off The Boat! All the bands ya named...!! I still say the world just wasn't ready for B.A.D.! I'd give a pinky-toe nail to get "No Time" by Fiction Factory! "The Magician" by Seccession is STILL in heavy rotation on my mp3! Danse Society, Missing Persons (Can't Think About Dancing!), Falco, The Lover Speaks, Haircut 100, P.I.L., The Church, Electronic, Ministry (early 80s)... I used to record Dennis McNamara's shows; my old tapes are kaput. Ya can still listen to LIR online.

[ChasBeauregarde]

I still have their 7' import "Palace Filled With Love" and I saw them at My Father's Place in Roslyn, NY around 1983. I also remember them on a radio talk segment on WNYU when Pablo Dugan was a DJ.

[viynaljunkie1]

crazy beattt

[enissenbaum]

I saw themin Winter of '06 at The Knitting Factory in NYC. I have it on video - search enissenbaum APB and it will show. Great night. Cool footage. APB - THE GREATEST, MOST UNDERRATED BAND OF ALL TIME!@!!!!@@)#$@#)$(@#%_)(

[beanxxxx]

My favorite top 5 APB songs -#1-When i feel this way #2-Summer Love #3-Shoot you down #4 What kind of girl #5-One day

[chriso99]

WOW- this is truly the days of living free. Loved the RITZ, and LaMour east every saturday night for the Ramones. FUCK! The dope was great. WLIR was fantastic - truly missed.

[FlubbaSketchy]

"Hello folks, this is Jim at the Dublin Pub..."

[beanxxxx]

Yes the WLIR days, i will never ever forget this group. I saw them in 1988 in NYC and after the concert my friend and me got into a car accident. I broke both my legs. The doctors said i would have to use a cane for the rest of my life to walk, but my legs healed well because i was only 24 years old. This is a true story, anyway great song, but i like summer love a little better

[katgrrrl]

WLIR (sigh)... Party Out Of Bounds!!! I cannot tell you how frickin' inspired I am to make a frickin' time machine... What I wouldn't give to go back to those days. And of all the songs that LIR played as well as the Something To Believe In cd, Summer Love is the bangfest, IMHO.

Just did a search of 'em. Didn't know they were still together! Got their own site and a new album to boot!

Hey thanks for posting this video!

[beanxxxx]

Yes, WLIR made you look foward to listen to music because it was fresh cutting edge new music. Don't forget the screamers, new songs every week, some of my favs- Cure,depeche,apb,king,yaz,omd,­n.o.,u2,smiths,ongo,b.a.d,heav­en 17,seccisson,ub40,echo,ficton fact. WLIR is now history. We will never again experience such a radio station., but we do have those great memories., and some of us have some old tapes of songs and the DJ's. At least i do.

[batgurrl]

I saw them at Danceteria and stole their set list from the stage after they were done, I was right up in front as I tried to be back then. Anyone remember 'the Simone Phone'??? Seems like a NY/NJ club here - hehe

[BushInJail]

Simone Phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was WPIX-FM the greatest radio station of all time!!!! short lived

[batgurrl]

thanx for jarring my somewhat feeble memory on the station - yes it was, but music was also great back then too. If you still live in NYC, have you seen him on NY1 with Linda Stasi? Never would expect him to be a repub, but then again I didn't think about him till I saw him in that piece. Love your ID if it means what I think it does - hehe

[BushInJail]

I haven't lived in NYC for about 5 years. Good to know he is still around. My ID means exactly what it says!! Lock him up :))

[batgurrl]

well, he is alive but loves Bush (not 'blindy' like foxnews, but 95% of him does) haven't seen that feature in a while, but I don't watch our local news religiously - tune in for the temperature in the corner mostly. No arguements from me on your ID - I'm with you. I give you 3 words - PIX PENTHOUSE PARTY! lol

[fdextro]

As Johnny Ramone said in CREEM magazine, WPIX (1979) was a dream station that you knew wouldn't last. I still have two 90-minute cassettes taped during that era. Mostly The Simone Phone, but there's some stuff from Jane Hamburger and The PIX Penthouse Party as well. Great memories.

[jimsouls]

Yfdextro, You are lucky to have the Jane stuff on tape. I had a bunch but lost it in a housefire a few years back. I consider Jane a major influence on my life. She's the reason I joined my college radio station. While I didn't have a "career" in radio, the whole experience changed my course. And I owe it all to PIX and Jane. The best radio station ever.

[fyodos]

never were a good live band---i saw them several times and was always dissapointed---here is proof they should have stayed in the studio

[leetie]

Wow! I saw APB at the Ritz too.

Great video

Thank you, WLIR for such great music.

[jahraytv]

Great song! Takes me back to my youth going to high school at Springfield Gardens High School listening to WLIR 92.7 and dating Denise Gencorelli. Saw them open for A Flock of Seagulls with her at the Beacon Theater! Still own this song on 7''. Man, those were the days! Shout out the early new wavers, Denise Gencorelli (wherever you are) the WLIR listeners and I cherish the days when all this was quality music.

The 80's rule!!!!

[nyladydi]

I saw apb 26 times before I lost count. Brilliant every time! Glad to see they're still at it.

[hendersong]

Just fab. Seen them in Edinburgh in the very early days.

[MyMomSezImACatch]

I had the aural pleasure of seeing APB @ The Green Parrot in Neptune, New Jersey (Jersey Shore) on July 2, 1988 for $8.00US. Great gig.

Thank you fro posting this video !!!

[vintendo]

I was also at this show. The Green Parrot is long gone, but I saw many good bands there in the 80's, APB at least 3 times there, Immaculate fools, Camper Van Beethoven, Hoodoo, amongst others, Im old and confused now, but those were the days.

[HangerSeven]

Thank you so much for posting this! Ahhh, reminds me of the WLIR days....

[anthonydevito]

Hanger, you read my mind.

[itskirk]

Great post I remember seeing them at Spit in the late 80s

[PrincePurple]

Wow! Great stuff.

[TBanksman]

I remember going to this show, we were down front dancing our asses off one of my all time favorite shows!

[depechelover]

where did you find this????????????? i have been searching for them since I joined youtube! OMG thanks so much!

[anthonydevito]

YES!!!!!

[mlozina]

great. wish i were there!
