Gentlemen Afterdark

So this the first music video that Gentleman Afterdark made. It's from about 1983 in Tucson. Needless to say we were all young. I was digging through old tapes and found it. Crappy quality but history is history.

Is the guitarist playing guitar after guitar off one of the back racks at the Chicago Store (in that one scene in the video)? Kinda looks like it. Know where I can hear the Pills "Gotta Get Away"?

Yup, in the second floor attic actually. We got yelled at by the owner for throwing stuff around. Can't help with the song finding.

my dad is the guitarist!!!

[ttanquary]

cool. Those were great times.

[Landlouper]

Wow - from before I used to watch gentlemen when I lived in Phx. I want more - is there more? :)

[ttanquary]

Alas no. That was 25 years ago and I'm surprised I still had it. That was such great fun though. Great people.

Gentlemen Afterdark to this day is still one of my all time favoritesI wish there were more videos or live footage of them.Whatever happened to the one guy that used to video tape them live at the mason jar Mike I think his name was.Hes got to have plenty! Mitch AKA (to Brian as Toby)is what he used to call me when we first met in the early days.PS I still have my autograghed album and tape along with my photo album of all kinds of GAD clippings and stuff even song list that I took

@keithacdc7 Keith, your dad and I grew up together in Minnesota before they moved to Tucson. Your grandma is my godmother. It is sure great to see this video. Tell your dad, grandma and Jackie hello for me! Mark Banker

What's up with the 'COMPUSMITH' keyboard? I've been trying to purchase one just like that in the video, but can't find any . . . they must be awfully rare!!!! Boom, Boom Don!!

Thanks so much for posting this-- saw them a few times back in the day.  Very tight sound!

3 of them are my uncles: singer, guitarist, and keyboard/fiddle.

I instantly knew that was the Chicago store! but sadly, today, there is no junk like that to sift through anymore. Ironically they are playing a reunion show tonight in Phoenix...

Very cool. My neighbor just ripped their 4 song EP for me. I love GAD.
