Mutual Surrender Bourgeois Tagg Video

[Rummani]

I'm a Bourgeois Tagg fanatic, listen to their albums all the time and catch Brent when I can on Sundays. Just amazing music. Cheers for this video! :-)

[radioonemike]

I have the 45 myself. Always will remember this from Spring 1986.

[Taopuppy]

When did this song come out. I'm thinking late 80s because some of them are sporting a look that came into vouge during the early 90s.

[PsychoPunk1965]

1986

[elliegtabosdad]

Loved these guys--used to see them at Club Can't Tell in the 80's still have the old album!

[humboldtcounty1]

YES! Finally some one posted this!!!!

[66evansblue]

I really love this song, I always did. Thanks for posting it, I can't seem to get it off Limewire.

[izituorizitme]

Thank you for this song. I had the single way back when. I hope whoever stole it from me enjoyed it as much as I did.

This is my Favorite Bourgeois Tagg Song. I'm Trying to Get it on Playlist. Anyone know How to do that? Videos are often the Vision of the Director, which often has Nothing to do with the Band's song, per se, plus whatever is currently trendy in the vid arena.

[abauminole]

Loved this song in college, in fact it was on a jukebox at the place we did laundry-wow! I actually have the 45 of this song, am I showing my age or what? What a great memory and a great song! Thanks for posting!

[jeb12blur]

@abauminole I have this 45 too!!!! I was in high school, so I wasn't too far behind you.  Unlike some of the other stuff I was listening to at the time, though, I think this song has aged very well and is still tremendous.

[theseekerz]

Brilliant piece of music that's as relevant today as it was in the 80's.

[dkim68]

hahahahaha I like how they keep these ugly guys in the shadows for the first minute-and-a-half of the video. That's got to be some kind of record. LOL!

[izituorizitme]

These guys are not ugly if you are really paying attention. Beside that, some of the ugliest people in history were the most talented and soulful.

[papamalo]

wow!!!! great to hear this song again! they played with us when I sang for the Freaky Executives at the Pauly ballroom at UC berkeley. great days.

Now if I could only find "watching the rain" by zula pool (beatnick beach) I could die a happy man!

[cubdukat]

It's a shame these guys didn't last, but if you want an idea of where they might have gone, check out Larry Tagg's first solo CD, "With a Skeleton Crew." Several tracks feature other BT members, and "1/2 Yes, 1/2 No" has everyone but Scott Moon on it (even Brent). They were supposed to be part of a third BT album, but when they broke up, Larry and Lyle Workman re-did it themselves.

[mrdjjames]

I have been looking for this song for years! Didnt know who did it. Thanks for posting. I didnt think it was INXS like I was told. This closes this chapter! hahaha

[eseahawk67]

I found it yesterday and I'm so excited!!

[lorischroed]

Brent Bourgeois and Larry Tagg wrote a beautiful song called "dying to be free" that was on this album. I think it should have won a grammy. These two are so talented. I wish they were still making music together.

[laurthedinosaur16]

Brent Bourgeois is my vocal instructor

[FLAK1ZZ]

Larry tagg is my English teacher!!!

[jnelson30000]

Please post more videos - we love them down here at Guantanamo Bay. We're, um, huge Bourgeois Tagg fans, yeah.

[Taberah2001]

Wow, I loved them in high school! I had a crush on Larry Tagg. ;) This takes me way back, love this song.

[ncsbear]

Brent was in my philosophy class. Crazy cat.

[yetanotheraccount2re]

I Loved this song! Of course Todd Rundgren produced it. Didn't know that at the time, but I hear him now in the arrangement and mix. Yeah, *Todd.*

[famulous]

Todd didn't producer this song. It was on the first album> He produced the second album.

[roblmri]

I remember seeing Lyle at Guitar Showcase in SJ.What a great band. What really happened on the tonight show, I heard that broke up the band

[raybaisden]

I knew the band well. Tonight Show did not break them up - it was nerve wracking because they had a false start due to bad set up by in house techs - but they pulled it off. They broke up when Brent decided to leave.

[MurasakiGoddess]

I have tried hundreds of google searches remembering only a bit of this song.  I remember sitting with my friends way up on our Jr. High sign singing it at the top of our lungs. AntiRegonomicdissestablishment­ism!

[DarcyTV1]

This band was amazing back when they played in Sacramento. I wish I could see them perform again. In addition to their own songs, they also did wicked covers of a couple of Beatles songs that melded together, Tomorrow Never Knows and Within and Without You, I think. And what was that "tall, tall grass," song? Was it a Charlie Peacock tune? And I wish there was a video of their "Electic Train."

[4darin5]

lie down in the grass? Charlie Peacock is AWESOME!!! incredible jazz musician

[har9020]

Only saw them perform once -- opening for Heart in Charlotte in 1988 or so. Sound mix was best I've ever heard.

[raybaisden]

They are playing a reunion June 3 at the Crest Theater in Sac, along with Uncle Rainbow, Charlie Peacock and the 77s.

[salaices]

thaks for post this video i waqs searching for this song since 1990 i didn´t know who was it until now thak you...

[Dildgaf]

Man, I'm trying to download yhis on my IPOD, but I am having the damndest time doing so. 1986- what a year.

[westlife13]

Wow. Senior year in high school anthem. Great memories. Nothing better than riding around with friends on a Friday night BLASTING this...

[pgiarratano]

Ho-LY #$%*! I LOVE YouTube! Just on a whim I searched this and I am DELIGHTED to see it up. I always really liked this album and ws sad that it dropped out of sight within months of getting released. Thank yooooooou for posting this and making my night!

(Now if only someone decided to shoot and put up a video for "Electric Train"...; )

[W1P]

I used to see this band at Lord Beaverbrook's in Sacramento long before they hit big. They played very long shows and they were fantastic. I saw them at Club Can't Tell after their first LP was released and their show was much shorter -- kind of sad. As an aside, guitarist Lyle Workman is a very highly regarded session guitarist and has played on some amazing records since the demise of BT.

[neargere]

I worked with Brent in a rock horn band in 73. He use to amaze me with his perfect pitch.

[progrotech]

I worked for the at David Holman's studio in L.A..  They were fun and lovley people.

[JimHarttube]

Brent graduated from high school in 1983. So you worked with him in a rock horn band when he was 7 years old?

[neargere]

I think Brent was finishing hight shool are just graduating during my first year of Collage and that was early 70's. Did you go to shool with him?

[danielmaness]

the bass line is straight up Faith No More's "We Care Alot" although i don't know which song came first. So it could be the other way around. The rest of the song wouldn't be out of place in 'Big Trouble in Little China'

[gijosnow]

thank you for posting this video! i have been searching for this forever!! it was my favorite sone back in the day, and i still love it!

[tiabradford]

Been looking for this video for years! Thank you sooo much!

[groovedigger00]

oh, i loved this song, i actually had the video on VHS somewhere from back in the day, but i lost it ... thanks for posting!

[cubdukat]

Same here, although I think that Todd Rundgren was both the best and worst thing that happened to Bourgeois Tagg. On one hand, he was mostly responsible for "Yoyo," but he also ended up absorbing them all into his touring band, after which they were never heard from again.

I have to say, though, somehow I imagined them a little less energetic as performers, given the video for "I Don't Mind at All," but they can definitely rock out :)

[irtheclerck]

Thanks for posting. These guys were very underrated. Loved both albums.
