Was (not Was) - Hello Operator

[RaintreeLDS]

Hello! Got the moves. (Got the grooves 8-D. HaHa!)

[JackOffVille]

Damn this makes me move my feet.

Saw them 3x in 2008.

[devilduck]

I recorded this off the tube and played it back repeatedly. I blew up my stereo with it!

Can't get enough!

They still play out occasionally. Still great live! If you hear of them playing anywhere, go out of your way to see them! You will not regret it!

[ajarnfrankie]

- That horn attack and the funkiness...shakes your head.

[TVGord]

I have this on tape from the original David Sanborn show on Sunday Night! There has never been a performance with more fuh-rickin' ENERGY! This is the BEST!

[banjaxed31]

Killer track. That bassline is something else. An amazing live performance from one of the best live bands I've ever seen.

[devilduck]

Gives me chills every time I listen to it. I wished they played more live shows. The studio stuff doesn't do justice to this live stuff.

[DaniboyCom]

I'd be Sweet Pea Atkinson if I could live another life. These guys were responsible for the best live show I've *ever* seen - they had the crowd literally jumping and screaming for more - back in summer 1989 in Birmingham, UK. Would dearly love to see them again.

[4801eSlauson]

Monster hooks! Maybe the best thing on live tv ever!

[allarmsfall]

Wow. That performance was tighter than a virgin. What a band!

[szanepyd]

blew my head off..

[DRUMTOY2002]

OH DEAR GOD....CAN ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW I CAN OWN THIS PERFORMANCE ON DVD FOR MYSELF??? This very performance ranks as in my TOP 5 FAVORITE PERFORMANCES OF ALL TIME!!! I remember watching this very performance and losing my mind because it was sooo bad ass!!! It was 1988/1989 that they did this on a show called Sunday Night hosted by David Sandborn and Jools Holland sponsored by MICHELLOB Beers!!! I love Don Was bass line !!!! I NEED TO OWN THIS PERFORMANCE, PLEASE!!!

[Movemusic1]

That is exactly how I felt about watching Bootsy Collins on this show doing Stretchin' Out. Search for it. You will like it too!

[DRUMTOY2002]

Hey man, I will search Bootsy out!!! Thanks for the tip!!!

[mntnman62]

These guys are amazing and even better live. Caught their show at Blender in NYC this May. Great show. Unfortunately there were maybe 150 people there. My friend has this video which he taped (yes taped) off the Sanborn show when it aired. I can sit here and replay this video over and over and never get tired of it. I would also love to find a way to download it so if anyone knows where we can do that, I'd be immensely greatful.

[joedruo]

check them out on bbc iplayer... they were on 'later... with jools holland' recently. 'semi interesting week' and 'where did your heart go' are great songs.

[MzFlux]

Damn, I love Was (Not Was). They just came out with a new album "Boo!" slated for an April '08 release. BUY IT!

I know I will.

[mountainman62]

And now they are going tour!! Caught their last tour. Totally awesome. Blender in NYC on May 1. Get the CD and go see them live.

[mtalaba]

Killer group! And they are back together -- new CD ("BOO!") to be released April '08.

[barfchunks]

Why can't these guys get back together again?

[Draykid]

They are, lol.

[juniorfats]

Sweet Pea is Badddd Assss

[NewtNoho]

Love it.

[karamojong]

I feel pretty good!
