Better Days - Badfinger

[olamf1977]

great band, badfinger. they certainly picked up where the Beatles left off...literally!

[socrates1818]

The last couple lines of that bridge - whoa it doesn't get any cooler than that, vocally

[ysbryd1]

Great song - great band, great memories. Thanks for posting.

[MissSweatyknickers]

Try listening to the other, faster version this great band played on here 'Pete Ham plays killer guitar' it is unbelievable!!!

[Rubikscuber1]

two people never had a better day

[cooltooth112]

I don't agree about the Rasberries, they only had about two hits. I remember bands like the Rascals and The Grass Roots who together must have put out 30 or 40 hits.

[MiKikaIwaShizaru]

Great song!

Has anyone gotten the 2010 Badfinger (Apple Records) Remasters?

How do they sound?

[ceterceter]

@MiKikaIwaShizaru Sound is disappointing. Really flat. They did nothing for the high-end. Really mid-rangy. Apple blew it, in my opinion. Get the Perfection CD remaster, if you can find one.

[ZeroMinus007]

@MiKikaIwaShizaru sound good. with good extra songs

[NezMaccaHam]

@MiKikaIwaShizaru They're good! Better than the Beatle remasters in my opinion, partially because the Badfinger ones came with alternate takes and some more bonus material. There was a clear, audible difference in the songs.

[1FineYoungCannibal]

Not many groups have three band members that sing lead vocals on different songs.

[GriefTourist]

@1FineYoungCannibal

Beatles...Floyd.....Clash.....­Stranglers...any more?

[TheBierra]

i love how Joey and Tom meet eyes and smile every once in awhile.

[marsviking]

Still can't figure out why they stuck with the same manager when they were living in a ratty house and were never able to make any money.

[outlawcountryman]

@marsviking probably would have caused legal issues and taken money they didnt have.

[99ontguy1]

I get so pissed off when i think about how these guys got fucked around by their manager.,and all the great music they would have produced!

[lovebirdphil60]

luv dis tune!

[ang3nascar]

Tom was great for sure, very natural and good looking. Mark Healey who plays with them now is my kids dad and he has the look for sure

[BadfingerAirwaves]

@ang3nascar

Hi Angie

[paul54321]

great guitar playing.... tasteful solo.... at this time Pete sounded very much in the same league as Eric, guitar playing wise....

[Zeroefornono]

Why the hell is Pete Ham not one of the top 100 guitarists listed in the rolling stones list?

[christianphi]

@Zeroefornono i was asking myself that very same question wake up rolling stone

[hazor777]

@christianphi :FUCK Rolling Stone-they are nothing closely resembling what they originally were. RS is now the communist PRAVDA to the youth - funny thing is, they are losing their street cred re:music

[christianphi]

@Zeroefornono that's funny because i was asking myself that very same question

[luc137]

Love this band. Sad story their's.

[sbyrne1]

Who in the sam heck was that host. LOL my moneys on jimmy saville. rocking the gimp look

[brownsugah66]

I think it is Jimmy Savile but what is up with that pink mask?

[mrsclaudy]

a little time a little Joey...better days! Thanks for posting

[galaxies352]

I love this song. Does anyone understand where I'm coming from when I say this song sounds a little "Rutle-ish"?

[yourfavoritegreg]

It does sound Rutle-ish, but always contend that the Rutles music was better than it needed to be. Badfinger is sooo right on the money!

[christianphi]

@yourfavoritegreg the rutles can kiss my behind cause do you know what the difference is between the rutles and badfinger badfinger has talent some that the rutles never had and it's something that the rutles is in desperate need of .

[beowulven]

I always thought Badfinger WERE The Rutles (kidding, kidding...).

[gasmasktrooper]

Rutles Shmutles.

[slightlyperturbedmax]

Tom Evans has to be one the most natural, attractive sounding harmony singers. I love that man.

[eteachout]

@slightlyperturbedmax So true!

[hofnersinla]

Hope you are here Mr. McLenison...

Pete was brilliant!

[1ccgrand]

Got to love these guys.. Badfinger had great times and bad times. This video shows it all. Smiles, great music.. Wish they were still around. Tommy and Pete...talented young men with. So much the ahead they didn't see.

[pyrateer]

Pete Ham is so fluid on this guitar work on this song. He looks and sounds like he was born with a guitar in his hands.

[L88BS]

brilliant song and band

[L88BS]

One of my favourite all time songs

[danguitar142]

this is from top of top pops in jan 1971

[cynicalwordsmith]

They are so AMAZING~

[Daleski8]

Awesome video-such a great, great band!!!

[lovebirdphil60]

luv dis band so.lOT IN COMMON, with me growing up. great tune:)

[beefheart67]

perfection

[sixtieschick5]

omg i love these guys, so yummmy!!

[brownsugah66]

They are so cute at 2:10

[blizzard00961]

Joey added so much to the band. They truly worked well as a four man band. Excellent song and performance.

[popnutty]

@blizzard00961 : Yes.. and he also added the Paul McCartney look-alike. Why am I the only one who notices this!!  UNCANNY!!!

[DarkRidera]

Tommy and Joey are funny to watch in this video. These were "Better Days" for them. Fantastic band and fantastic songs. Like to see Tommy smile and have fun...Thanks for posting it.

[pushad147]

Love it!!!!, but what's up with the guy in the pink mask?

[zuck21]

i loved these guys so much ...so underrated and great musicians joey is still touring to this day with his own version of badfinger but of course its not the same without pete tom and mike...next stop cleveland...

[BadfingerFan]

Great song, great performance.

[rothr]

Too funny! It's easy to pass this by because it looks like all the others but it's totoally unique and especially revealing! Love it, thanks Chevy.

[johnboytosh]

Everytime I watch a Badfinger video all I can say; GRANDIOSE!

[fabguy44]

Thanks chevy505! I wish a lot more of these live

versions could have been on the Badfinger DVD. I remember driving around with a couple of my school buddies and hearing Come and Get It for the first time and we all thought it was The Beatles! Then the Magic Christian album came out and we knew these guys were the answer to our Beatle breakup blues! Still miss them and hope new fans are made every minute!

[bandaquartzo1976]

Dear Chevy you make a really better day in my new year ! God bless you !...

Muniz ( bass )

[markmusicman]

Joey did a find job on this one, Again those harmonies sound great!! Pete's lead guitar playing really compliments this piece of music!!!

[GraceBarrett]

Great video. Awesome to see. Thanks chevy505. It's funny, they sing to the edited single B-side version and Joey and Tommy forget and sing the wrong words coming in after the solo. Pete Ham's guitar work is fantastic on this. The live version of this is really cooking on the BBC Live Radio CD, too.
