Holy crap, I never thought I'd hear this band again. I had their cassette in the late 80's and LOVED IT. I lost it and was never able to find it anywhere. Cool to see it again.

Heard this for the first time in years...Recorded this song onto an audio cassette in the 1980s.

Holly Sh-- ... NEVER thought I'd hear this again! KUDOS!!

Sadly, this song NEVER got any airplay on the radio in Vancouver, I saw the video on Video Hits, and I the only way I could hear it on the radio was by listening to AM 106 out of Calgary. All the bands mentioned in the comments were what made AM radio great in the 80's.

An excellent song and vid. I actually first encountered this band when they opened for Platinum Blonde in Halifax in 1986. I remember looking around for their "Just In Time To Be Late" cassette but only found it in Moncton.

I've been looking everywhere for music (besides the great song "Out on a Limb") from this band. Thank you for the rare and much appreciated videos.

Bill did indeed do those commercials in the Ontario market. He mentioned those to me some months back and I have been trying to locate the footage, so far no luck. Bill only remembered them himself when he saw Derry from Honeymoon Suite's Pepsi commercial.

GREAT NEWS FOLKS. FOUND EYE EYE Common Ground on i Tunes store for $9.99 . Been looking for years and finally found it.

I have looked for this tune for a long time now, I used to play the hell out of my 45 record I had :) Great tune! Thanks for posting, you made my day. I love the eighties and I'm glad I was a part of it :)

Hey, I was at that show, it's small world! I was born in Halifax and now live across the harbor in Dartmouth. A side to that, Bill from the band says he really loves Halifax and he went to school at Acadia U for a time.

To the best of my recollection, the were here with Platinum Blonde once in '86 after their first record and they were here in Halifax again after the second album came out, but the gig I remember was at the Misty Moon Caberet. I don't recall a gig with Glass Tiger and Eye Eye, as for Haywire, Eye Eye were a much bigger band then Haywire, Haywire played a number of shows at the Metro Centre but they were always the opener.

Wow, I have been looking for this for years, I remember singing this tune as loud as I could...loved it in the day, still sounds great today :) Thanks for posting dude, you made my day :)

I believe it was EYE EYE that opened for Platinum Blonde's Alien Shores tour. PB came to Fredericton twice, once at beginning abnd another time at the end of the tour. EYE EYE opened for one of them I believe (long time ago). Anyone remember New Regime? They opened for Glass Tiger here in Fredericton (again if I remember correctly).

@mimoscorpse Thank you! I was trying to remember what the big radio station in Calgary was in the mid 80s... AM 106, which is where I also heard Eye Eye's "Endless Night"... (Still, I think in rerospect, I preferred LG73 and KJR.)

you can get common ground album on itunes sites

Yes, I'm a bass player out East in Halifax, I played professionally for many years with various artists through the late 80's and 90's as well as doing professional studio recordings. :)

@cybercat29 Sorry but there is no video for that track, the only videos the band made are the 4 that I've posted. Their second album Common Ground is available on iTunes, it has been changed to add two tracks from the first record, "X-Ray Eyes" and "Out on a Limb" The band's first album was never released on CD, only tape and vinyl so the tracks have been harder to come by. Even Bill the band's frontman doesn't have digital copies of the first record, trust me I've asked.

yup, it's on iTunes if you are in Canada

They would have been much bigger if radio played all of their songs not just "Out On A Limb"

Awesome Hi-Tech !

Hi Frank, only thing available is on iTunes, they have the second album Common Ground with 2 tracks from Just in Time to Be Late

@cybercat29 You can easily convert them to digital, just need a tape deck and an adapter to run the outputs into a PC, you can buy cheap decks that are made specifically for the purpose. Last I remember Bill telling me, the albums are available on iTunes Canada also.

ah, cool, I get so used to talking to people in Ontario and stuff, I forget that every now and then someone local finds me on here. We are about the same age according to your profile so we probably spent time in the same bars. If you ever hung out at the Misty Moon we probably crossed paths at some point. I started playing around here way before I was old enough to get into a bar. lol

If you can, could you please upload the song "Love Runs Hot" by EYE EYE?

These guys are pretty good. CD is on eBay but it's too much for my blood. I will go to iTunes I guess.

@DanMoncton I still got 2 cassettes from the band "Eye Eye". I would love to get the CD version of them. Is there a way to copy the casettes onto CDs?

Great concert, wasn't it ? I was on the floor with the Coca Cola reps - I had won a contest and gone backstage to see Platinum Blonde.

If you'd like I can put you in touch with Bill, he still has original vinyls of the first record, as well as the second on CD. I would guess he might be willing to part with one or both for a fan in exchange for a nominal fee to cover his expense.

in itunes the common ground album

lol Now that has to fall under, "you know you are a fan when" you are taking screen shots with a still cam. I can't match that, but we did have a Beta VCR :-)
