This is so awesome!! I remember seeing it when it first aired- I was 14 and RnR was so alive back then, inspiring me like you wouldn't believe! Thank-you for these great Badfinger clips!!!
Tommy could sing, but, as the failure of the Dodgers and Natural gas showed, it was the chemistry of Tommy and Joey -- not to mention Joey's ridiculously under-appreciated guitar chops -- that made this work. Such a shame the way things went in the end.
Huh, where's Joe Tansin? I was searching for him on Youtube... Man, Tommy could sing... He's up there with the best, Pete could too, but Tommy had balls.
Great to see Tom happy and smiling. I'm sure it didn't happen often.

Badfinger is way underrated today. If only Tom and Pete didn't take their lives. They had so much still to contribute to the music world.

Great Tune From Joey and Tommy -Awesome song from the LP Airwaves
If Pete Ham would have lived he would have been right there with them!!
I Wish Pete was still alive today to see how popular Badfinger is today --
BadFinger will always be one of the Greatest Rock Bands of all time!!!
