[bmalloy1]

The tubes are not gay, most have wives and fee is definately not. They do support the gay community though.

[longfootbuddy]

heheheh

[isandrich]

I love this vid. I stop by often to view. Wish I was there.

Saw The Tubes last week at music in the park in san jose. Got them to sign my wristband.

Gonna see them again in Santa Cruz.

IF THE TUBES AREN'T GAY, I'm a 100,000 pounds hunk of flying Granite.

It's all good....

[akijade]

Fee would have been a great HM in Milk.

This is a great slice of history. thanks for posting.

[ToolShedDaddy]

The Tubes are totally gay and proud

[gumpdog36]

Dude are the tubes gay? WTF.

[eye4sf]

Dude, the tubes are long time friends of the gay community in S.F. I don't think they are gay. Just good friends.

[boyblue922]

who cares?? I doubt they are gay- but can't you give a tribute to the gay castro community without being gay? It is 2009- we also don't call people niggers anymore either- times change-get over it

[avlmedia]

Cool! Thanks for The Tubes!!!

[CusterFlux]

Take a firehose to the monitor guy ...

Fun seeing fee doing the diva mariachi saunter ...

[pohelger]

Amazing.  Thank you

[lordmjh]

I seen the Tubes in Boston Ma at the Channel then the next night a few members joined Todd Rundgren for a radio live broadcast from WBCN. I remember hanging out with the Tubes and drinking up a storm with them and one of them saying we got to got , we got Todd's show to do tomorrow. How did you get to post a 62 minute video ? can you show me?

[mskilj]

The Tubes are great. They are also from San Francisco. ROCK ON!!

[Enki13]

sorry my friend..but they grew up in phx. arizona area and were a very popular band there...then moved too SF... they were first known as "the beans" then switched to the tubes..as I remember anyway..

[RIFFERLOU07]

BRING YOUR LEATHER

[MarkMBravura]

Nice cover of Ghostriders in the Sky

[brabon]

omg...they played haloes...i havent heard that song in years

[thedeepchristy]

Not Too bad camera work. Great band !

[isandrich]

Great video!

[marnebass]

Thanks for some excellent work, but I would really like to know what it might take to get a Hi-res version. How did you compress this to get all of it on? Can I send a blank DVD with a couple bucks to handle the postage? I really appreciate your documentation of a band that doesn't exist any more. Gary left the band the following year and Prairie doesn't play with them much anymore.

Please let me know!

Thanks

Just asking: i just bought the Wild West Show-DVD two days ago which is from 2005 i think. The show is awesome, they kick ass and don´t appear like splitting up shortly after..is it really true ? The Tubes finally split up for good? Why? Thats so so sad.

[brabon]

if they broke up...then it must be amazing imposters doing their tour...these guys will keep playing until they are in wheel chairs

[123jaguar0]

This is a five star band and a five star video. The best band EVER....Where can I get a copy of this???

Simply superb

[kissed61]
