  • Just Fucking BRILLANT!!!!!!!

    They don't make bands like this anymore!

    Shame isn't it!

  • Caught this tour at the Pantages Theater, Hollywood in 77.

    Changed my idea of what a live show could and should be forever..Tubes were so ahead of their time as far as integrating new staging, props, even synchronized dancing into live concerts, Alice gets all the credit but The Tubes were right there pushing the envelope at the same time. Underated does not begin to describe this band!

    Your life is smoke and the world is my ashtray!..Its how you do me ;-))

    RIP Vince...we miss you man!

  • Oh how I love the tubes.I had what do you want from live when I was seven years old and listened over and over.

  • Anybody got a cut or vid of 90 lb. weakling?

    The best band EVER HANDS DOWN! No-one even comes close. Musicianship and stage SHOWS were superb. You guys spoiled me for life!!!

    My records are shot and ALOT isn't available on CD.

    THANKS FOR THE POSTS!!

  • brilliant!

  • so cool

  • I can never get enough of the tubes!!! Love this song.

  • I watched a few vids on youtube of a Tubes recent tour. They sound great! I wish they would come back to Canada. Saw them in Calgary in the early 80's with Bowie and Gabriel. Of course I went for the Tubes! It was funny, I wore these bright yellow rugby pants and was laughed at by all my friends. They stopped laughing when the Tubes hit the stage, everyone of them wearing bright yellow rugby pants! Too funny. Most underrated band ever!

  • No worries man. I agree with you. Vince and Michael Cotton's keyboard arrangements were phoenomenal as was the twin guitar attack of Spooner and Steen. Just saw them recently. They are down to a 5 piece with one guitar/keyboard/bass/drums/Fee­. All original members with exception to the keys player. Still awesome. Dedicated "Dont want to wait" to Vince.

    Tubes Rock!

  • Duh, getting Vince mixed up with Fee. So I have to say, being a keyboard player myself, the Tubes keyboard arrangements were right up there with ELP and Wakeman.
