I have to admit, I fucking hate Reb Beach, lol (ok, not really). I pick up my guitar, look at my hands, and say "why can't you do THAT?" He makes a really tough song look so easy. The rhythm is beautiful, but a lot more complex than you'd think.. And the solo?...forget it. I had the great privilege of seeing Winger on the "Pull" tour at Dallas City limits...93 maybe? One of the tightest bands I've ever seen live (and I've seen a lot of great bands).
Great Song don't get me wrong, but when you think about it these guys are singing about statutory rape... (They were probably in their upper 20’s / low 30’s when they wrote/performed this song in the 80’s)
Nice loud version! Tons of rock songs have been penned by horny dudes on a tour bus jonesing for sex with a minor aged 17...Johnny Winter even did a killer cover of the Stones' Stray Cat Blues where she's 15, like the one in Derringer's Teenage Love Affair. But THIS tune has the best rhythm guitar I've ever heard in a rock & roll song--just fantastic, infectious, compelling, amazing. Reb Beach is an outer space monster come to Earth to show how they play guitar in his galaxy.
This song sounded great live! I saw them on this tour as a special guest with Bon Jovi and Skid Row in Rochester,NY in 1989 they did Seventeen as the last song in their set and it was awesome!
One of MTV's best live performances ever. This is a tough, tough tune to play and they killed that night. I've got Winger on two of my top 10 live performances of the 1980's. What can I say? They are professionals who can rip a tune live as close to studio as any group I've heard from that era.
I highly concur with derdude. Kip has a great rock voice and is actually a very good bass player. Reb Beach is a consummate guitarist, not only studio, but on stage. He played with Whitesnake for a tour, then with Dokken for a bit and made George Lynch look like an amateur. Gotta love Reb's style!
@aurzada uh, most bands do that... where's your bands tshirt? Oh, right, you just sit and run down people that actually DID something with their lives..
@aurzada When you're Reb Beach, you can do whatever the hell you want. The man is absolutely ridiculous technically and one of the tightest live guitarists there is.
@derdude ya think?! Perfection in what they do. Thanks for the video! Even if he has to hunch over all the time on stage, lol. Just kidding. Great vid!! EEEEE! The chick at the end... where'd she come from!! :O SCARY!
where's madalaine? I wanna see the entire new years' show...doesn't everybody else? (:

I'm still trying to figure out what the gay guy in a suit at 1:34 left side is trying to do at a Winger concert.
Every band should do a live performance like this close up and personal with the dancing fans. I love the crazy '89 outfits and loud music. Woooooo!

That is none other than Sandra Bernhardt, The Planet's Ugliest Human.
At least, she acts and sounds somewhat semi-human.
