  • The brilliance of the band is already evident... Great work Mike, I sure wish you had some clips from the La Paloma show I saw in Encenitas I saw in 76 or so... You guys should have been bigger than Aerosmith, you have way more talent...

  • I saw the Tubes live when they were on their completion Backward Principle tour in the early 80's. What a great show.

  • man i wish he would've taken that trench coat off so we could see how he's clad under it!?! or find another video later in the shoe w/o the coat?

  • For What Its Worth,Fee Is Part Italian. From Omaha,Neb.

  • @sirlovemehard That doesn't necesarily guarantee that he's jewish. Other ethnic breeds can have THAT same feature. Like he could also be Lebonese or even Greek ( though I admitedly don't know what his ethnicity is ).

  • @sirlovemehard yeah, really relavant sirantisemite

  • in 73 somebody asked me did i want to audition for the holland tubes, inever found out if this was them.

  • I cannot believe this is on YouTube. So glad. Now I'm just waiting for a good version of Poland Whole/"Madam, I'm Adam" (or just the latter) :D

  • Awesome cover.

  • bravo!
