The Tubes were/are quite, quite unique and the prospect of a documentary showing a true insight into the workings of the band is fantastic - can't wait!
rodensweet | March 08, 2008
I saw the Tubes in 76 and have never been the same.
SirFeaksAlot | January 21, 2008
It's all my brothers fault. In the 70's I was young, innocent, naive and he introduced me the Tube by giving me tons of your albums and I've never been the same since. THANK YOU! Here's to "Big" John Haase (my bro) and the Tubes!!!

The site is great Mike. I can't wait for the dvd. Love all you guys
daveswwworld | December 22, 2007
Thank you so much for this Mike. You guys were the most creative and fun band ever, with killer musicianship to boot. Your legions of fans are really looking forward to the DVD.
Any chance of putting up a couple of Beans or Red White and Blues band tracks?
