  • lady gaga is nothing compared bozzio!!great years

  • fucking amazing band. i think they were marginalized/boxed, but they are true originals. love you dale!!!

  • Terry Bozzio is DA MAN! Hard to believe pop had such talent for a time.

  • Really bad camera editing. They missed half of Terry's drum solo.

  • Comment removed

  • @shirtgod Dale's rack is much more impressive.

  • Ironic that a song called "Windows" was performed at a festival sponsored by Steve Wozniak of Apple Computer.

  • @twinsmm1 : MS Windows was about 7 years away from being invented.

  • all i need is a window to smash through

  • epic drumm riff 3.02

  • I was there, it was amazing!!!! I love Dale and I am seeing her tonight in LA......

  • @MrPingarick

    When you say you're "seeing her", do you mean that you're dating Dale, or seeing her in concert? LOL!

  • @n8tureboy - I was saying that I was seeing her that night in concert In Redondo Beach. I also met her that night too, she still has the voice and was so sweet.

  • @MrPingarick

    Thanks! I was kinda' kidding with you a little. I'd like to see her perform, she's got a great voice and some really cool songs.

  • @n8tureboy - sorry,lt's monday and I am a little slow today......she does have a great voice and I have seen her throughout the years.... I wished her career would have continued with new songs but I still love the old stuff and she still rocks at 57 years old.....

  • I taped all 3 days on vhs from Showtime back in 83.someone broke into our house and stole a few things,one of which was my vcr and this tape was in it.I wanted this vid back more than the vcr.

  • was there too! drove out from colorado with friends and missed the last few days of classes ...our seinior year. ...they didnt want to let us gradutate, since we skiiped town early, but we had all passed our finals. willnever forget it !

  • I love Dale's 'hiccup' effect. It's a turn-on! :-)

  • Yeeeeeeeeah ummm all the guys just watched this video because it was a good song right? I mean, yeah it was. It really had nothing to do with Dale's outfit.....right?

  • Good times!! I want to go back to these days!!!

  • @64mung me too, me too

  • Excellent tune and footage!! I miss these days!!

  • I had to fold my arms around my chest so i could breathe - the crowd was that big and was just squeezing everyone at the front from behind. Eventually the band finished and I was able to get back to my friends etc. But faar out it was great. I also went to Cal Jam2 but this was better.

  • The closest I got to the stage was on the 'New Wave' night. I think Men At Work were the final band... I found if you follow behind hot girls all the guys parted the crowd for them, and I followed a few groups of them til I was 1-person from immediately stage front. It was a massive crowd squeezing from all sides and hard to breathe mainly hot carbon monoxide air - i'm 6 feet & had to get on my tip toes to get fresh air. Girls were passing out & being passed over the rail to security.

  • I went for all 3 days and slept in a tent just outside. I still remember walking 'up the hill' each morning to get in. It was baking hot. I found a huge plastic water bottle and was mr popularity wandering around giving people drinks. People were selling all kinds of whacky stuff and I got blazed out of my mind just outside the beer area...(at least i think there was a beer area - i was blazed remember...)

  • One of all time FAV missing persons songs!! I listen to something from Spring Session M and the Best of Missing Persons almost dialy!! NEVER GETS OLD!! STILL SO EDGE ALMOST 3 DECADES AFTER THE FACT!!

  • I would really like to have seen a better view of 2:58 - 3:10. One of my favorite drums sections in a song.

  • God she is so hot here

  • @mrpicky510 I know, I'm a straight female and she's turning me on!!! Love this band!

  • Not attractive at all. See, real men like a woman's physique, not a twelve year old girl. If this turns you on, you could be a pedophile.

  • @varsume Sorry, that would be madonna. Dale is just naturally willowy.

  • Dale should have said: Hello, this song and operating system is called WINDOWS. So prophetic.

  • I remember learning this solo on the tape. I rewound it over and over to get it just right. This was one of the first recordings I geeked out like that with. Then it was onto John Bonham and Stewart Copeland.

  • @Gretschdrums75  Its interesting that you went from Bozzio to Bonham and Copeland. Terry owns both of them combined. I am a fan of Bonham and Copeland (more). After learning Bozzio....John and Stewart should be easy ;)

  • @nopast68 Terry owns them in technique but not overall. That is just a stupid comment. Bonzo was the only drummer who could have played in Zeppelin. Same with Stew and the Police. Same with Ringo in the Beatles. Bozzio was not so hard to replace in Zappa was he? Vinnie did just fine. So did Chad. Bozzio is a freakin monster but so were they in their own right. Come down off your techniquesville high horse dude. Buddy Rich owned them all and still does. I also loved Cobham and Tony Williams.

  • Comment removed

  • @Gretschdrums75 As I said before, your comment was stupid. I pity you man. I'd love to see you play some day. I bet you are awesome by the way. Nice comment too. I didn't flag it btw. Someone else did. I actually thumbed down my own comment because I was kinda harsh but stupid is stupid you know?

  • @Gretschdrums75 You know what....I removed my comment because I realized there was no point in replying to your meaningless post. Yet once again you posted something. Apparently you are looking for a fight. Lets think about this for a second. I post a reply based on my OWN personal opinion. It was not hateful by any means...just an opinion. You go on to say that my post is "stupid" and also that "you pity me". Who is the one that should really have the pity. LOL...u ingnorant fool.

  • @nopast68

    Nope on the Copeland. I feel he has equal status here as far as unique sound. I agree with Grestch in heading out to other styles. Speed and scope is one thing but unique sound is another. But must add that from 2:57 Terry rules on this one.

  • FUXDBACKUPGUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Maybe she said "today" to be clever since its daytime. It isn't wrong but it's just not right :)

  • Did she screw up at the beginning? She said "Today" instead of "Tonight" O.o

  • @bozzioisgod44 I think she meant to say that because it was day time

  • AWESOMENESS at 2:57 by Terry!

  • YUP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 32nd notes everywhere :)

  • 400,000

  • Other then screwing Dale, this time must have been really awkward for the great Terry Bozzio!

  • Beatiful! Thanks for the memories!

  • Yea, I remember this! I remember her great,... eyes! lol. I went to both US Festivals when I was in the Marine Corps. We slept in our cars. $23 bucks each day for the tickets I think it was. Very hot n humid, and lots of grass passed around. On one day we sat next to David Gilmour. In 83 we stood behind Stevie Nicks for a few hours. Had a full dresser Honda next to us that shuttled beer and ice in. We sold it from the trunk of the car. Had a great time! DVD's are available out there now.

  • Dale is absolutely hilarious---I love her! She's not really a "musician" in the same class as the others, but she's the best DALE there ever was! That squeak is priceless.

  • Considering Paul Allen funded this concert, I'd say this was the first release of Windows of Microsoft. But I hate windows and use Ubuntu.

  • Wow! Look at that! Talent!! no cgi! and And no black rap racism towards white people and cops!

  • @vexviper

    Amazing isn't it?

  • daymmn that's a lot of tom toms on that drumset!

  • Right on man! Where did you get this footage?? New Wave kind of got thrown under the bus by the critis (though all critics are posing losers who never had the guts or talent to take their own shot). But there was much talent here w/solid lyrics, great musicians who've worked multiple genres. Any Terry fans who haven't done so, check out his effort in Jeff Beck's Guitar Shop, esp. behind the veil.

    THANKS FOR A KICK ASS POST!!

  • I concur!!!

  • Oh yeah and Warren Cuccurullo's guitar works is some of my favorite of all time! I really like Missing Persons'/Dale's lyrics & Patric O' Hearn's keyboard/synthwork too. When will we all help cultivate each others talents, appreciate one another, and be as cool as these motherfuckers!?

  • The way terry moves on the drums is so evocative and original at the same time.

  • yeah well, toilets are white.....

  • Feces is black. What are you defending? Your love of nigger and mystery meat trash? You think it's cool to be politically correct? Have some pride in your race and heritage.

  • You're a f*cking moron.

    People like you make me less proud of my "race" the human race, dick.

  • Hey Dick Head! Humans aren't a race ,they're species.

  • Hey Dumb Ass! Learn you sum fukkin Englishhh you racist moron.

  • My Mom is dead, you p.o.s., but maybe those sorts of things are funny to your "kind."

    At least I know my mom didn't raise me to be a cunty punter, such as yourself.

  • OMFG that is SOOO hilarious and/or hurtful!

    DURRRRR!

  • ur a cumguzzling thundercunt who is secretly extremely insecure

  • I was there pressed against the stage. Quite a day. U2, Berlin, The Pretenders, Bowie, and Stevie Nicks. A great highlight of high school.

    Got grounded since I didn't make it back in time for school but, entirely worth it! Cheers Brian and Julie!

  • @born1965 Stevie Nicks was the only non new wave rocker at that concert. That's a crop of rock & roll talent you just mentioned. WOW!

  • @bucky468 Van Halen was there.

  • @ErikOosterwal Then that would be 2 renowned non new wave rock & roll acts at that concert. Wow! What a power punch of talent. I'd love to see something matching that today. Bet it'll never happen again.

  • This is what I LOVE about the 80s.

  • Yeah, I was right, Terry Bozio replaced Korn's drummer in 2007. Is he still with them?

  • Hey didn't the drummer go play for Korn and the guitarist for Duran Duran recently?

  • @kcarpio64: Warren was a member of Duran Duran for years from 1986 through 2001. As for Terry Bozio playing with Korn I can't say.

  • After reading some (not all—who has time??) of the comments comparing Dale and Gwen, let me just say it's okay to think both are talented and attractive without disrespecting one or the other.

  • Ah Shit!! Wow I was There and I still Have the T- Shirt. 10th Grade year. I remember It was HOT as HELL that Day..In San Bernardino Ca. May of 83...

  • And it's the charming Mary from Canoga Park

    Up next in her bid for the semi-finals . . .

    Hi, Mary . . . howya doin'?

  • You know, the last tour? You know, leather?

  • love terry's solo in this song. but i hate those vocals hahaha but what the hey. what ever flaps ur wings i spose

  • AAUUGHHH

  • what a small drumset.. pfff

    :P

  • I also was there. One of the best days of the three All the bands where good I thought U2 was the Best. Then again Stevie Ray Vaughan with David Bowie His guitar playing on Lets Dance Was Unforgetable What a Day.

  • Bland, indiscernable screeching?

    Yes, it's Warren Cucuracha.

    Bozzio made the group.

    Oh and the hot chick...whatsherface.

  • I was at the US Festival in '83. It was hotter than hell, but not as hot as Dale!

  • yea remember the huge fire hoses spraying every one because of the heat.i was eleven and i can even remember this is the first time i saw breasts from this girl right behind me flashing everyone..good times..US 83 forever

  • You bet....Then Dale took that Polaroid of the crowd and asked everybody if they thought she looked ok? lololol

  • damn you are lucky!! to go to us festival..i was 12 at that time ,almost went but my grandparents talk my mom out of it!! i was so pissed off

  • I remember whatching the Us Festival live all weekend on MTV back in the day. I thought all I had was memories of it. It's nice to know that there is this medium now that lets me watch some of this again. This is the best footage I have ever seen of Missing Persons. Sounds great and Dale is so sexy.

  • One of the best Popgroups, they had only the wrong Name and much to good musicians!!

  • it's so bad it's good! I think that was the idea :)

  • Comment removed

  • @jonnj1975 It's original, which is a rare breed these days....

  • it's great!

  • Great Song!!--One of my favorites!!--Great Guitar and Synthezizers!!

  • My ass this band blows hateaters ur a dumb fuck.

  • O'Hearn is on synth - black & white pants.

  • I was at the US Fest, and remember the show so well. My favorite acts of the entire three day weekend were Missing Persons, David Bowie, and surprisingly enough, Men at Work, whom displayed fabulous musicianship. And despite thier pop-hits they proved to have some depth. The guy that played alto flute was especially talented.

    I also remember seeing Stevie Nicks, and not being impressed at all.

  • twelveax7: great job on the re-sync!

    -- an old fart who saw them and still loves them

  • Dale had her signature hiccup. They were great musicians.

  • @MISSEDHERSIR They still are great musicians....

  • They were singing about Windows and the Internet long before it was ever conceived. Way, way, way ahead of there time. By the way that's a blue tooth in her ear. You go Dale. Futurist for sure.

  • Good one! I am surprised Microsoft hasn't picked this song up for their ads. Dale is the best.

  • and to think windows os wasnt even around back then, remember the apple setups towards the back of the concert, i saw steve wozniak there with steve jobs..my uncle told me years later it was them i was only 11 back then what did i know

  • Great Video BTW whats she wearing on her ear?

  • Where is O'Hearn? He was totally denied. All I see is Cuchurillo on the cigar box.

  • Thank you so much for posting this, such an excellent band, in every way.

  • Thank god to whoever posted this. I've been crazy about this band for like two months now despite not listening to them much for about 20 years.

  • ha! Same thing happened to me!! This band was so great.  They really nailed that 80's synth pop sound.

  • Fuck you all MP was cool.

  • i only went to metal day .. glad i missed this

  • Damn Terry? what happened to you. you use to be with Frank Zappa. geez. lovely chick though. :)

  • I wonder how ofter Gwen Studied her in this before she put out the "New" video...lol same hair, I think same makeup...same everything.

  • Dale kicks the shit out of Gwen Stefani.  You go girl!

  • Love that guitar tone. Great song Great riffs.

    Bozzio, Cuccurello and O'hearn....You cant go wrong.

  • I was in the first ten rows right in front of her what a weekend it was hitched hicked from moorpark with a buudy to get there and back

  • I was selling nachos, subs and soda for 3 days!

  • I was at this concet selling t-shirts and they all got conviscated as they were bootleged.

    what a weekend.

  • Thank you for post this. I LOVED IT. Brings back good memories.

  • Thanks!!!

  • she kind of gives me the creeps but hey to each his own

  • Is she feeling a little stage fright or is it my imagination?

  • Can you believe Terry and Dale played with Frank Zappa after listening to this?

  • they all came from Zappa's lineup. Don't ask me why but i actually loved this lp when it came out.

  • Hey. Warren Cucurrulo and Patrick O`hearn played with Zappa. And cute little Terry but Dale made a guest appearance on a coupla of recordings.

  • Are you kidding? Terry played with Zappa for like 7 years.

  • Sorry. Excuse my grammar. Must`ve been . Of course that cute little drummer played for Frank. Whoring himself out to Korn recently.

  • No, it was three years. He joined Zappa sometime around may 1975, and left during the first half of 1978.

  • Oh my god! Im happy that 80s are over.

  • i know i mich rather like now when all radio and music is done with a computer and a rapper. back in the 80s people new how to play there music and they had differenmt personalitys i like how everything is easy and safe and no one trys anything new. its so safe and nice and rap hmmmm yea there are some real musicions in rap today which meens there are real musicions on the radio. so glad the 80s are over it was all about trying new things yuk. like same and safe.

  • nice rack

  • (.)(.)

  • the Best performers of that Festival!! Dale's oufits, hair and voice combined with the Boys' musical talents nad hairstyles!! There was this Red Bird Dancin dude who deserved more recognition also!!

  • I agree that Dale is WAY hotter than Gwen....

  • Well, I just saw Missing Persons (Dale only)2 nights ago. The band she has now is very tight and the drummer handled all (nearly) the Terry nuances very well. I was about 10 feet from her. She still looks pretty damn hot but, she is kinda looped out now. She seemed a bit disconnected. Still fun though. And yeah, Terry was great with U.K.

  • MP's classic New Wave 80's look,Dale's eeks and squeeks, Terry's and band's energy!!:}

  • shes so cute looks like a little doll

  • The US Festival only lasted 2 years '82-'83. 82 was a 3 day event on Labor Day Weekend. 83 was 4 days on Memorial Day weekend. Yes both Berlin and Missing Persons played on Monday in 83

  • those arent Stretch Marks you IDIOT those are the clear straps to her Bra and What do you look like Faggot? Probably a fifty year old man with balls sagging down to your knees huh??? Ha,ha,ha...LOSER

  • Dale Bozzio Blows Gwen Steffani Away in Looks, Singing,Style and originality !!! Missing Persons you all Kicked no Doubts Talentless Butt :) Cucurrullo and Terry Bozio were the Heavy hitters in this band along with Dale the sex godess

  • geeee, where did Gwen Stefani come up with her act?????

  • i'm somewhere in that opening crowd shot, *gasp* 24 yrs ago.. tempus fugit indeed.. thanks for posting this..

  • I love Bozzio, Cuccurullo and O'Hearn but damn that's ugly.

  • warren and terry from zappa's band to this? lol ......... ok..

  • I love this band. Terry Bozzio influenced my drumming, what a pioneer of drumming and of reinventing the drum set every few years. Patrick O'Hearn went on to do new age music. His best new age CD is "Rivers gonna rise". Dale sure has a hot body in this video!!!! I wish I could've been at the US festival to see them. Way ahead of their time. Love it!!!!

  • Terry Bozzio - what a drummer!  What a cutie!!

  • No Doubt you can see where that no talent ass Gwen Stefani stole her stage persona from.

  • I also see Dale and automatically think that Gwen must've been heavily influenced by her. Though, I do like Gwen and think she adds her own spin to the look and sound.

    (nice play with your first two words, gener)

  • Hairbands77 your stupid name says it ALL. You obviously have no clue as to what real musicians are dumbass. Youre just another hair metal retard that listens to poison and ratt. LMAO.

  • wow

    :) :) :) :)

  • i´ll fuck with her any day

  • DALE WAS FUCKING HOTT

  • Omg, Terry Bozzio is one of the best drummers ever.. Missing Persons was a VERY tight band . No band has ever come close to their unique sound... I almost got to see them live in 1983 but My mom said I was too young . But in 1997 I finally saw them , different line up though, No Terry Or Warren or Patrick & etc, only Dale.. Good show either way, but I still would of loved to see them from this 1983 era because I'm a Warren & Terry fan.

  • You know there is a God when you can find spread eagle shots of Dale on the net. Dale is and always will be fine.

  • His best work was as a member of UK. Awsome 3 piece with Weton

  • I had the UK Live! LP. I wish I could get a CD of it now.

  • green day level? fuck that! this band rocks... listen to mental hopscotch

  • This band sucks, but the singer was HOT!!!

  • Um... band sucks? Terry Bozzio? Warren Cuccurillo? Patrick O'Hearn? Yeah, those Zappa cats need to get some music lessons I guess to get up to the "Green Day" level huh?

  • Yes man, this band sucks at all!!! and the blond singer was so hot!!!
