The Del Fuegos - Don't Run Wild

[loudmusic67]

Can't believe they are touring this year 2012 I have to go see them in Mpls. thanks for the post "yakidk89"

[1stchoicemodern]

This was pretty cool.

[cynthiaisabelle12275]

I remember these guys. I can't believe they didn't get real famous. I remember they got in an accident in Ohio on their way to cut an album.

[damnifiknowu]

I remember when MTV was ACTUALLY Music TV......

[cklook1]

Eu queria que meu filho curtisse esse SOM !

e nao aquela porracaria de funk e emo desgraçados .

isso é musicaaaa rapaz , saudades do meu tempo

[PBDCooper]

i got to know this song on a trip to NYC in 1990 and taped it ... really good to see this video (for the first time!)

[willywalstone]

In those days we thought everything was lost, but little did we know how bad things were going to get

[LS1LT1]

For me, this might be the 'quintessential' Del Fuegos song, it's what got me into them initially back in the mid '80s and I love it.

[pinkfloydfan]

Great song.

[utexxas]

Remember this from way back when I was in college. Great song.

[BerkLeeDrm]

us fools roadies stole all their beer and booze at a new hampshire gig

[666UFO666]

Killer tune wow ......

[sadchild70]

you can always tell when a band is from boston. and not even the scenery or sound, it's the mannerisms of the people. if i turned the sound off, i'd swear that i'm watching members of j geils band or the fools right now.

[StoogeWatcher]

They're having a reunion this month.

[BigMark1963]

great video great show in kc at the Midland got my weed confabd i was the first to spark a joint that night they took mine an then let everyone else smoke! an it was first class concert weed i'd been saving! 80's were so cool and free!too bad our kids will never know how great freedom was now theyr'e all consumed with facebook need to get out and party and live!

[tipadaknife]

I went to Concord High with Dan Zanes. Was just typing classmate names into Google for fun and was shocked to find he was famous! He was pretty funny, introduced me to Little Feat via the band t-shirts he used to wear.

[lostbuffalo]

@Gulfcoastsurfer9 Disney channel doing kid's music and the band is on their own doing Beatles covers last I heard

[Tattooedbiker64]

Ahh the 80's in Boston WBCN V66 when Boston was a rockin town.This tune brings back memories like partying all day in the parking lot off Northern ave waiting for the BCN fireworks.

[mixerd0822]

my wife and i were dating when this came out,we played it all the time.awesome

[dcrowley66]

damn good tune ,A bar I hung out at played this as last call for alcohol I was 24, im NOW 48. Thanks for sharing the video...

[davedzone]

damn....... been a long time. so many great songs out there, almost forgotten

[timbiotic]

you might say that we sold out, well that's just the way it goes

cause were on MTV and the Beers are free

and we're opening up for the Del Fuegos

[littleguyho]

This song still rocks, as it was designed to do! Long live BCN and the Boston bands.

[Stealeye13]

These were not only a cool sounding band, but a great bunch of guys and crazy partiers. They came to my college back in '87 and I worked the lights for the show. parties with them and played a cool game or stoned frizbie on the back lawn. they kept bringing me booze while i was doing the lights for the headliners, The Smithereens. Dan Zanes was a funny dude.

[fourcorners92]

Saw them in Worcester, MA, at some dive, packed in like sardines. They rocked the house ("Xanada Do" opened). One of my favorite live shows, ever, and I've seen a lot of shows...

[Quackamagooska]

Had a cool conversation about rock n roll with Dan Zanes at the Paradise circa 1990. I had this LP, very good stuff. How'd the get to shoot this on the Mass Ave bridge?

[muddybrookrambler]

Dan Zanes continues to be a snappy dresser.

[1antennaman]

just listen to the sound of that Les Paul. Great tune.

[alyzu1]

Wow, thanks for the memories!

[krelbar]

V66!!!!!!

[larrymota]

Growing up in the Boston area we used to sit in front of the TV watching V66 waiting for this video.

[alyzu1]

@larrymota Me too!

[appletininao]

I forgot how great these guys were. Heard them first on Chicago WXRT in 85. Solid drums & bass!! Wish I could have seen them back in the day!

[flogadong]

Thanks to the old 104.1 "THE REAL WBCN BOSTON" for exposing us to the Del Fuegos on the FM dial.

[PlumberDave65]

I bought this back in early 1986 on vinyl!!! (and some are probably saying "what the f**k is vinyl?") I'm surprised these guys didn't get more fame because they sure as heck deserved it!!! I love the "twang" of an electric guitar that hasn't been overloaded with distortion boxes. Does anybody know what became of them? If so, please message me and let me know. Thanks!!!

[dglsl81]

@PlumberDave65, you speak the truth. I grew up in NH, and all of these bands--including Del Fuegos--were missed big time. What a tragedy! Wanna sell your vynyl? ;-) I had all this stuff, but the ex wife from "back when" stole it.

-SL81-

-D.G.-

[PlumberDave65]

@dglsl81 Unfortunately it disappeared a long time ago. Probably the victim of a yard sale when I moved to New Mexico for a few years. Thank You for writing though. If I do run across any vinyl in Cali. I'll let you know for sure!

[TimmytheGeek2009]

thanks for posting. I was in college when this came out and it sounds as good now as it did then. classic!

[tourmalinehunter]

One of the nastiest , ass kicking guitars of all time .

[bigmikeep1]

i was runnin wild in cantone's.i am surprised i did' get barred from there.went by the street name BALOUCHY.even painted on park street station wall.those days were wild.

[kingpleasure]

Great song....they kick butt, which is why it amazes me I never heard of them before. I only found them now because my son has 3 of Dan's Kids albums which we all enjoy alot. I had no idea he had a previous career as a real rocker. Thanks once again to Youtube.

[SweetSweetWaldo]

Dan Zanes has a phenomenal career as a children's songwriter. Not sure what Warren's doing nowadays.

[fuckittyfuckall]

@SweetSweetWaldo

Warren put out two great albums in early 00's, Memory Girls and People I'm Wrong For.

[relictele]

@SweetSweetWaldo I've read more than once that he's involved with operations at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

[fisher2521]

Nice job Woody! The drummer, Brent Giessmann, is originally from the Embarrassment.  A much more influential, and original punk band from Wichita, KS.

[waxwing01]

Its all good : the music, the video, city off Boston at night. And I will second the emotion one man said "you're never to old to rock and roll----Amen

[bfnputz]

I saw this video and hadn't thought of the Del Fuegos in years. And I could remember the names of all the members of the band, but I can't remember what I ate for lunch yesterday. Why is that?

[moltenone]

great stuff !!!

[countrypaul]

Zen-simple, smart, sweatily eloquent rock & roll, drives like a hammer! Super track - eats little children for breakfast!!!! Boston looks great in this video, too. Thank you for posting it, yakidk. (And loudmusic, we're never too old to rock & roll. Never.)

[sunphuk]

Anyone have "Coupe De ville" by these guys??

[ChrisJHutchins]

I saw them in ??? Yeah! Very underated band. Great show! Loved the album. Still have it!

[lexicon188]

thanks for posting this vid..

memories of my good ole high school days when i was just starting to learn how to rock...

REAL ROCK...

[mikehanks06]

This by far was the best road tripping music of my early years!!!!!!

[thenameisbond]

The slide near the end is my favorite part of this song. Great 80's band.

[loudmusic67]

Still one of my favorite songs of all-time. Here in Mpls. 92 KQRS still plays this song.

[originalmngsp]

when was the last time KQ played anything newer than 1985?

[loudmusic67]

Yes you are right they mostly play old music, I guess that's why they call it classic rock. But to answer your question, they were playing "Chicken Foot" Oh well I know you were just having fun with me. OK I am OLD. But you did listen to the Del Fuegos so you must know something about old rock too!

[tropicjester12]

probably not lately!lived in minnesota for 27 years moved to iowa, still listen 92kqrs on the internet

[TimidFury]

Well, considering that music started plunging around that time, and has ever since, probably never...

[rnargi]

Saw them a couple times at the Boathouse in Norfolk, VA...what an awesome band.

[heinikenlover]

Memories of the good old days!

[beatcat22]

Pure unadulterated PERFECTION.

What the fuck HAPPENED??????

No more MTV. You can't even turn on the radio anymore, it's pure SHIT.

This was the way things were supposed to be: The NEW WAVE

[yakidk89]

Good call.

:)

[panjok2]

@beatcat22 Angelo Petraglia is the one who helped make this sound & there is still good music out there! Angelo Petraglia works with Kings of Leon and they are todays best sound,in my opinion! IF U have'nt heard them u should! KOL have not really exploded here in the U.S. yet but they are being called this era's Beatles in Europe & I agree! They are even better in concert! The wife and I drove 15 hrs to see them and we are driving 20 hrs to see them at Red Rocks! check out my videos of them!

[matrix49A]

@beatcat22 Negro gansta rap.. dirt cheap to make, blacks spend like crazy on it (poor people right) so LOTS of profit... pure ans simple like rappers themselves

[judasplow25]

This song is a classic!

I Can't believe they look like high school kids.

[JFLD02186]

They shared a bill w/The Replacements...who are the shit

[chuckschilling]

Another great 80's band killed by doing a Miller beer commercial. Conspiracy, says I.

[staaceycakes]

I love the Del Fuegos. :) <3

[hippostomp7]

Thats Cool yakidk89,

Hope you can put it out here-- I dont think they even made a video for Coupe Deville??

I'd settle for a pic of some '59 caddy tailfins....

[hippostomp7]

Anyone have the Delfuegos "Coupe Deville"?

That was a cool slow blues.

[yakidk89]

Have the song- Yes.

The video? - No :(

[panjok2]

@yakidk89 put the song on with just a pic

[icicicles]

@yakidk89

What's stopping you from down loading it ?

[Sdragnasty]

i got embarrassed over that comment, but i still love this song and the video! --and still miss watchin' the "vee"!

[bigrpb]

That is some fine dancing there.

[NJACNS]

Warren is clearly the real talent of that band.

[dinkwinkerson]

I have thisalbum on LP,casette, andCD. this is one of those albums to be included in the soundtrack of my life.

[crucified303]

That guitar riff has been stuck in my OUT-dated gourd for ? years?!

[crucified303]

Awesome Never expected to hear from these guys again!

[loudmusic67]

Thank you for the post yakidk89 (It's clear & the sound is great!) Never thought I would find this song...I love this so much!

[morgaow]

i love the song and the group but really the direction was horrible. Now that was back in at the beginnings of videos but it would have been nice just to see the Boston skyline behind them while they played

[lookylooky2006]

Saw the beer commercial and then found the Dont run wild sometime latter

great little jam that obvioulsy holds up well

if you like this it reminds me of another group only a few of us have heard of Taxxi

Coctail Queen ( exellent) as well as leaving you

rock and roll

[chaz9966]

Regardless they were a really good band from New England....and yes comparing Pittsburgh to Boston is like comparing a twinkie to surf and turf...those connecticut 80's.....

[deepreverb]

this video begs for MST3000 treatment.

[ilovewillf]

I can cum from listening to this

[AmpluexCompressa]

Oh my god.

I work at a toy store and we play a lot of Dan Zanes albums, that's how I found about the Del Fuegos. I just looked them up on YouTube on a whim, really.

I can't believe this is the same guy that does all that kid's folk music! Mr. Zanes is certainly a man of many musical hats.

[Redsoxxplayer]

Saw them at some dive in Worcester, MA. One of my favorite live shows. We were packed liked sardines...and they rocked the house...it was awesome...

[nightscreams]

The funny thing is this band is NOT from Boston, they are actually from Southern New Hampshire. I grew up with the Zane brothers' cousin Holly. There was a big pissing match because they called the album Boston, MA but I guess Concord, NH doesn't have the same ring to it...

[ppboogers]

i played in a wedding band in the 90s with drummer up and around NH. great drummer

[SweetSweetWaldo]

My stepbrother is the Zanes' brothers' half-brother. I am a distant relative. Their old man was married about six times. In 1985, if you wanted to play anything bigger than a lounge at a candlepin bowling alley, you had to relocate to Boston, so the Del's did!

[telecasterchopper]

And yes, another underrated excellent rock n roll act from Boston, rock city!The Del Fuegos were GREAT along with 20 000 others bands that mainstream people will never know!!!

[sleekcartim]

THANK YOU for posting this! del fuegos were highly underrated! saw them a few times, once at wheaton college in Norton Ma (one band member married the deans daughter (hehehe)

[beats1969]

everything about boston rocks !!!!! i miss it very much !! musically , morphine was (is) the greatest band ever...period !!! r.i.p. sandman !!!

[sleekcartim]

amen brutha!

[tompettygoddess]

i think warren zanes is cute :]

[smialek316]

This video is total 80's shlock, although the song was not that bad. Great shots of Quincy, and the Mass. Ave. Bridge in Cambridge, and a cool night shot of the Charles River, at the Lee Pool.

[magickmom]

BOSTON PRODUCES ALOT OF GREAT TALENT!....;p

COMING FROM A BOSTONIAN

[chaz9966]

Everything was fun back then.....must be fun now with The Sox and Patriots on a roll!

Kinda like Pittsburgh in the early 90's!

[beats1969]

oh, jesus ! i'm sorry chaz ,but comparing anything to do with boston to pittsburgh is like comparing lobster or filet mignon to a twinkie !!!!!!!!

[ledfeat]

The music and stand up comedy scene was

great in Boston in the 80's

[chaz9966]

Thanks yakid89!

[chaz9966]

Great song,and one of the best albums from the 80's......anyone know where to find a copy of Boston Mass on CD?

[yakidk89]

Theres usually a CD of Boston, Mass. on ebay.

If not now, one will pop up within a few days I'm sure. Thats where I got mine!!

[rcknbkr403]

@chaz9966 The album before this one was MUCH better. A local indie release.

[odoe522]

It is amazing that the Del Fuegos were trashed for their involvement in a beer commercial. God only knows that there is no corporate sponcership in music. Boston Mass is one of the best album from the 80's!

[pilatso]

Wow...this brings me back too !!! Good times visiting Boston, what a town !!!!

[murrayrothstein]

This one brings me back. Favorited.
