YEAH!!!! THANK YOU YOUTUBE!!!! THE BEST PLACE TO FIND ALL THE 8OS SONGS FROM LONG AGO......this was the first concert I ever saw......crazy!!! I met them years later......Have a Happy Thanksgiving to all Americans..
This is my favourite Canadian CD, Vertigo Tango. Jump on the 401 and crank it up, look out for speeding tickets. Seriously, this CD and band were very much underated.
I'm having a quiet moment looking at all our old videos. Some I haven't looked at for over twenty years! Great memories. Hope to see you all out there this summer as we tour for our new Static In Transmission album.
@gorddeppe Hey Gord. Static in Transmission is great, as is Waterline. Just wanted to tell you it's taken me years to figure out where I got the idea for the metronome drum part in a song I co-wrote over fifteen years ago and demoed last year. Guess this means you're an influence. ;)
I really, really wish someone had a good sounding version of this song. This song is amazing and well produced. This version is just not doing it justice.
Hey great memories!! This was my first underwater scuba shot, never used scuba gear and the next thing I have an underwater camera and I am weighted and sitting on the bottom of the pool!! LOL
I made them put black cloth in the pool to make it dark and all the colour ran into the filters, what a mess, ;-)
Great song and video by the best Canadian band ever! Love the juxtapositioning water, waves and reflections off band members Gord & Sandy... And despite the water off the snare effect having been done before I can't think of a better use of it, here... Man, I've seen the Spoons just a half dozen times and I just can't get enough. When I first saw the Spoons in '82 at the Police Picnic @theCNE they immediately became my favourite band... the Spoons rock dude!
The songwriting still was top notch during this period in their career. Not sure how big of a hit it was in Canada but, boy, brilliant song all around.
Ah this is a great song, and I resisted it for a long time being a hard core spoons fan for so long before it. But I can surely say now, this was one of their best. And as for that Martindale comment, damn, you know IIV would have sounded cool doing that song their way.
Think it was shot by " Champagne " media..swimming pool... late night sessions....Beautiful stuff..always loved it. Dale Martindale from IMages in Vogue says its his fav Spoons tune..............
I had a dream - this song was IN my dream. Hard to believe, but sure...yeah! But when I found the VERTIGO TANGO album all these years later, I bought it within an instant. AWESOME!
Wish I could find this as a download!!

Sandy & Gord make a great looking duo, What's the scoop on them, are they married, shacked up or is this a business relationship?
83056 4 years ago
They were strictly business. Friends before that, actually.

Thanks

They're both married with children but with each other.
It's true they are both great looking.
