I'd check out the Retrowave music genre if I were you... The midnight, FM 84, Timecop 1983, Sunglasses Kid and a LOT more are putting a fresh face to the 80's sound and have been for a few years now. It can never be exactly the same, but these bands are giving us Gen X and Xennials a small piece of it back.

If i could turn back time I would find my way back to the 80s I don’t know why I did the things I did but if I had a chance I’d do it all over again, my very first bootleg was of Eddie Money and it was this tour from Pittsburgh and the tape didn’t last very long I believe I played it until it came out of my cassette deck on it’s own

Ronnie Spector was the absolute definition of the phrase "In a class by herself." Never was before, and never again will be anyone like her.
The suit, the cap, the hair, the sax, the exuberance, quintessential 80's.

So happy for Ronnie to get back in the spotlight back then. She was a hot lil number!
What a gentleman Mr. Money is. He doesn't try to hog the stage or out perform Ms. Spector, In fact, he seems to give deference to her as a Queen of Rock. You know he was just an awesome guy.
Ronnie looks beautiful here and she sounds amazing..when her voice kicks in with that classic voice crack of ronnie on the high notes..like heaven.

I met this wonderful man! In Ft. Wayne Indiana! He was so nice to me and even signed my guitar! He was an amazing person and human being!
Two of the real class acts of the music business. She looks and sounds fantastic, and Eddie really tips the hat appropriately. RIP to two legends.
I produced Eddie Money at Santa Clara University for a free Post Finals Celebration. It '77/'78. I had him outside in KENNEDY MALL; surrounded by 3 Dorms! He was awesome. Great guy.

Just after I turned 60 last year, I have realized that most of my best years are behind me and time is closing to an end soon. Looking at these two great artists sing is a great joy. They remind me of those good old days. Sadly they are gone now. Life is truly short. Don’t waste time thinking it will last. It don’t. Get all the things done that you want done. Travel, learn a new language. Experience all that you need to do. Because in the end, time is all we have left and for some it’s not enough. RIP Eddie and Ronnie..

Okay. Who else got chills when Ronnie Specter literally MATERIALIZED on stage next to Eddie for her part for that live television broadcast? My God. This wasn't the flashest performance you've ever seen or heard but it was absolutely magical beyond words. To be there in the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City to watch these two legends do one of the best songs he ever recorded live... I can't even imagine it.
Truly two world class legends, gone way to soon, love ya always Ronnie, rest in peace, 🙏
Ronnie is a true legend that will be remembered forever
I got to see Eddy at the Stanislaus County Fair in Turlock Calif. on the free stage it was major coolz...
I miss the Money Man so much. And Ronnie? One of the greatest of here time brought to the 80's and showcased once again. Such a gorgeous and talented lady.

Watching and listening with emotions overflowing, we’ve been blessed
It's obvious why everyone misses the 80's --- two music icons just rockin' out --- no Auto-Tune or two dozen choreographed backup dancers needed to entertain us!
I love how they sped up the tempo to the song from the original recording.
Can not believe this fine man with gif given talent has left us way too soon .
Live. No auto tune, no backing tracks. So good. jw
