Missing Persons, Live, Mental Hopscotch/Words

[alexisironman]

this crowd blows

[hogula]

Lady Gargler stole her whole act from Dale Bozzio except that Dale is a goddess and Lady Gargler used to have an eight inch cock before the operation.

[prijak1]

the lead singer was a babe and was original and straight she was married to the drummer TErry Bozzio. but she was never wierd or a freak like Lady Gaga

[brolltitch]

such great stage presence.

[PAMAROSHOUSE]

love those breasts sweaty and all

[silverballs4]

Lady GAGA is a Freckin copycat of Dale! The Original.

[carlosarios]

good drummer

[junkyturd]

@carlosarios Terry Bozzio great drummer

[bvg83]

everybody was like shocked no one moved even a finger :/

[TheNintendoJuggalo]

Warren FTW

[SpazChat]

Nice stage presence, but she's not much of singer. I always liked their records however.

[judgeman64]

I was good friends with Jon Lee of Feeder fame. RIP Jon! He got a lot of inspiration from these, and Stuart Copeland of course. First time I heard Missing Persons was with Jon. He beat the crap out of the arm of his armchair with his sticks playing along

!

[billyjoeboomboom]

This set should have ended with a DRUM SOLO!

[splatter96]

I still think U.S. Drag has the most amazing drumming on Spring Session M. Terry has since become even more phenomenal, using drums to produce melodies, not just rhythm. His work with David Torn and Mick Karn made me stop playing drums for good.

[stillspooky]

@splatter96 That's sad, see inspiration, not competition. There's always someone better.

[ShawnAbnoxious]

SHOULDER PADS!!!!



[tgsquier]

Wow...no shit...she really does have the Gaga thing going on...or Gaga doin' the Dale thing...whatever...funny. Dale's cool...suppose Gaga is too. It's like, I'd be so annoyed whilst fucking them...you know? yeah....Awesome!!

[AIKevorkian]

This is me in Grade 9! Howeva I never saw this recording until I was 41! Damn, he was an underappriciated AWESOME drummer!

[scarletkiss1]

missing persons is great!!

[Glenn1441]

Fab band. Lame crowd.

[MrThatjim]

Saw a video from 2011 with a different line up. She's still totally beautiful.

[jdu6]

i would love to be a microphone,,,hott

[debgibsonfan]

They were the greatest at this time.

[1251wire]

I was (and still am) a metal guy when this came out and this is still strong!

A lot of the metal chicks also dressed this way, lucky for us 80's metal guys.

[carakenio]

THE CROWD WASN"T DIGGING THIS ,WHAT'S WRONG WITH THEM ?!?!?!?

[carakenio]

OOOOPSSS THE ORIGINAL LADY GAGA !!!

[CallMeCygnus]

Love this stuff. First-class progressive rock drumming in Hopscotch.

[ERICWENDYBRIAN]

That crowd must all be on drugs. How can they just stand there like that and not dance or sing along???? I would have loved to have been at this and definitely would have been dancing!!!!

[pr192001]

Terry on the roto-tom set classic

[MissMariaMassacre]

She reminds me of the Jem and The Holigrams barbie doll!

[CONSOMI33]

hijos de frank zappa. los adoro.

[glomobile9]

Lady Go Home! I will forever be gaga for Dale Bozzio! <3 her!

[JasonLeonPike]

Terry is a freak!!!

[BethelAbba]

I recently described Dale's vocals for this song as "the Tasmanian devil chewing through a redwood tree" --- fast, fun and furious. Man I can't believe how many words she could throw into a sentence..... and still keep going!!!!

[nemirn]

"Words" has more musical genius in any 1 measure than Lady Gaga's entire pathetic repertoire.

[Zorsha]

@nemirn phht. ill bet Dale looks at Lady Gaga and says "you go girl" gimme a break with the gaga-ripping-off dale crap.

[Glenn1441]

@Zorsha Actually, that is Dale's take. If there is any imitation, it is the sincerest form of flattery, And Dale found some inspiration in Bowie. In fact, a David Bowie poster ripped from a dressing room wall was her first stage costume ever :>)

[Zorsha]

@Glenn1441 and see, i agree with that. and it's what Ive been saying all along! yes there are similarities - but to say gaga ripped off dale is just bullshit. everyone has their influences, but both Dale and Gaga have taken those influences and intertwined them with their own unique inventions. Really, if Dale and her family believe Gaga has ripped her off so badly, then why aren't they suing her? it's just ridiculous.

[Pridevanity]

UNIVERSAL GODZ !

XXX

[b1naryd1g1t5]

I prefer Blondie.

[Wscate]

@b1naryd1g1t5 wow thats a hard one Blondie or Missing persons there sooo diferent i can see you point both thoe amazing. I dont think i coud pick one over the otherBlondie lasted longer and well dale or Debbie i couldnt pick.

[Glenn1441]

@Wscate Only thing in common is that both bands had a blonde lead vocalist.

[jamaicanyodamon24]

sound sucks and it takes forever to load

[eflow415]

Very 80s . Love Dale .

[jamaicanyodamon24]

could ou use a slower fucken format shit for brains?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[dantetomaselli]

Electrifying performance! I love The Missing Persons.

[WildChild80Style]

OMG..... THANKS!!!  Thanks to the AWESOME person who uploaded something SO rare and such a freaking treat!!! My FAV band of all time..... !! Dale made all her own costumes.... etc... so for me it's like wanna-be gaga WHO? Give me a break! At least gaga could give credit where credit is do and at least acknowledge Dale did it all FIRST! ~ Cheers to pcramon! Thanks!

[italianman2112]

@WildChild80Style Amen !!!! for saying what you did !! Sooooooo nice of pcramon to take the time for us to enjoy !! All the memories that are blasting through my head seeing this and terry bozzio drum. I was lucky enough to see the Spring Session M tour in Milwaukee !

Did you know Spring Session M is all the letters in Missing persons

[AIKevorkian]

@italianman2112 Wow! I never realised that! Spring Session M = Missing Persons! That reminds me of Music Television = Live mice sit on us (MTV used to show that way back then)

[JoeCoolRoxYou]

@AIKevorkian Remember when MTV used to play music videos and not the crap they do now? Peace out...

[agentmikeyman]

there at the end the drummer is like i've had it with you fucking drums and beats there ass.

[skintrade]

why does terry always look pissed off

[kramerbassplayer]

@skintrade because everyone wants to bang his wife!

[northbreed1a]

GREAT upload. Thank you.

[Aliendear]

Cool song, Mental Hopscotch. It's what we had to do in the 80's.

Such cool words and phrases.

[thegonz9]

Is Terry left-handed?

[italianman2112]

@thegonz9 no he is right handed, but he is ambidextrous, meaning he uses both hands and feet. I went to his drum clinics and when he hits cymbals on his right side, he uses his right foot (base drum) and left cymbals, left foot( base drum) etc.... He does this for independence :)

[thegonz9]

@italianman2112

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

[thegonz9]

@italianman2112

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

By the way my mom's full Italian. Dad was Spanish.

I guess that makes me 1/2italianman.

[italianman2112]

@thegonz9 Hey there :) not a problem, the only reason I know this is he has been my favorite drummer since he began with Frank Zappa :) You are indeed an Italian !

[MrSteveEllis]

She is stunning And TErRy BoZZio is GOD!

[madsketcher]

this is just how it's done. so much fun

[doggsector]

Wow, Terry Bozio smokes on the drums. Why does anyone compare a classic rock band and Dale Bozio to Lady Gaga is beyond me. Kind of like comparing actor Robert Deniro to Barney Rubble.

[arivera3426]

Terry Bozzio is a monster on the drums. No sequencer or drum machine for him.

[faridjabba]

what year?

[purelypolyester]

Dale was stunning! Punk rock china doll!

[cranie4]

Terry is such a great drummer. This was kid's play for him.

[bunnyhead71]

I know Terry very well, I assure you..he's not gay whatsoever...

[lordmjh]

Lady Gaga took everything from Dale except the name and voice.I've met Dale a few times from around 86 to 07.She's so tiny and adorable,I just what to pick her up and take her home, like Santa gave me a present.

[HarryPotter87]

I thought Missing Persons were unknown in the UK! But, thanks for uploading this. :)

[babathhh]

Awesome feeling...Terry is great as always ^.^

[Glenn1441]

Extremely rare footage. At one time, MP fans could find plenty of rare footage of Dale and Co. online, including:

Local L.A. TV spotlight on Missing Persons, focusing on Dale's handmade wardrobe, after EP release in '81

MTV interview, 1982, after launch of Spring Session M

MTV co-host spot, 1984, after launch of Rhyme & Reasons (with several interview interludes)

MTV, 1984, interview: making of 'Right Now' video

Thicke of the Night, '85: on-the-scene interview, Alan Thicke and Dale in a club

[happyhappydude1]

Long before Lady GaGa there was Dale Bozzio! Love this band. Thanks so much for uploading!

[rhymeandreasoning]

omg THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

[SpringSessionZen]

WOW! Very, very cool.

[12sandwicheatin]

dale was so hot here back in the day. one of the hottest singers ever-missing persons was so hip! all frank zappa all-star performers! terry was married to her back then, he was even gay-thats how hot she was!

[HarryPotter87]

@12sandwicheatin I doubt Terry's gay.
