Ultimate Color Organ: Private Lightning - Physical Speed

[aprilglaspieable]

Probably the best one LP band ever, unless it's the Rings.

Thank you so much for posting.....I have been searching for Private Lightning!! What memories!! Where is the CD available?

[sully80587]

They were signed to A&M and got dropped like a year later.

[sully80587]

Saw them at the Orpheum when they opened with Luna for the Boomtown Rats on St. Patrick's day, maybe '79 -'80.

Patty Van Ness, great Violinist!

Grew up in Foxborough MA, remember crusin down the cape on 495 to this song, had the album too! ( GO PAT'S!)

Wow! Saw them while at Tufts. They played in the dining hall. Brings back good memories. They should get together with the Stompers....Now it's a party! -Vito

The Paradise...

omg decided to google this now. Cant believe all these comments!! I'm listening to Physical Speed right now! Dug out all my old albums and playing them on a Walmart "for show mainly" record player my mom got me two birthdays ago. finally took it out of the box! The girls and I went to see PL everytime they played at the Paradise. They were my fave to see there. Loved Them!!And one of the guys even lived in our neighborhood of Brighton!

I loved this band in the late 70's and early 80's, never missed a local show. They could of gone very far with the right management. I am surprised they never did. Lot's of talent in this band.

[woover101]

Finally, someone put that incredible song up. Thanks so much!

[zorro5280]

Been waiting forever for someone to put this song up. Kudos!

[Dataman61]

put up the rest of the album !! dying to hear song of the kite !!!

[bucky468]

Shame on AOR stations throughout America & Billboard Mag for not giving this band enough exposure. They were only huge throughout their native New England & possibly NYC where it seems most bands got lots of airplay. This is good power pop/new wave rock.

[Dataman61]

awsome tune thanks for posting looked for it on lime wire could not find it OLD SCHOOL thanks again DONNY SOUTH BOSTON MASS

[gld69]

Loved Prviate Lightning as they used to play Jonathan's in Salem. The chick in the Band was hot. Would've done her then would do her today.

[suzy3sixes]

Wow.. this song really takes me back. Lived in Boston when this came out. ( 1979?) This band could have gone far with the right management . NICE job with the lights! Thanks for posting this! NOSTALGIA... Now I want to go cruising out by route 128 at night ;)

[MovieMakerKeith]

@suzy3sixes Thanks! My dad got me into Private Lightning and they are a very good band. A CD with their original release songs plus 12 more is available too

[Msaprilconquest]

@MovieMakerKeith got it! :o)



[Wolfy491]

I like how he randomized the lights more than he had them before, but dude, when I see that on a Christmas tree... then I will be REALLY impressed! ;-) Search for "color organ. firefly" if you haven't seen it already.
