I’ll never understand why bands like this didn’t rise to the tip top instead of all the “other bands” in the 80’s. To me, THIS is rock and roll.

Same here, I thought they would be massive, but it never really happened, however still one of my all time favourites. Thanks for watching Denny.

I totally agree. Saw them six times, always great! Regret it wasn't sixty times!

Now I feel a part of my youth is gone forever. I used to listen to the Smithereens constantly! And I saw them live at an outdoor festival a while back. I remember Pats booming voice more than anything else. He had a voice like that. Then Nirvana came along and I listened to them nonstop. I tend to get obsessed with one band. But what I see they both had in common was great lyrics and melodies so I don’t regret listening to either band. Their music has held up. And now they are both gone and silenced. But the music is still alive! RIP Pat and Kurt

Loved 'em from the moment I saw they Rickenbackers. What a great band, what great songs. There wasn't a dud on any record.
Pat is totally killing it in this performance. What a voice. Never to be replaced or forgotten. Miss you my brother.

I did a shot (Seagrams 7) with Pat once at a club in Pittsburgh. Cool guy. RIP.
what a good, underrated band-should be much bigger!
We need bands like this, today!👍😎🎸🎶
Sometimes I feel like I’m going crazy. How was this band even possible? You could make a valid argument they were at least one of the greatest American bands of all time

I was 14 when I bought this album and I was wondering why no one else was listening to them. Awesome Rock n’ Roll band.

Smithereens blew 80s music to smithereens. A mostly subdued singer. Driving drumbeats, original tunes...good tunes. Epitome of underrated.
Pat was such a great singer

I can barely see Dennis with all the foggy lights 😳
Fabuloso, una de mis bandas favoritas, 1990, escuché x primera vez.
Terribly tragic end for Pat Diniziio/ had to take steroids to combat Hives attacks and ballooned to 350 lbs. with side effects essentially shortening his life/ but his incredible music lives on !!!###
The Smithereens had a deal with Rickenbacker (or a distributor) so got some unusal ones to try. Jim: Rickenbacker 370 in snowglow and Mike: 4003 Blackstar. Pat's perservering with the 350. I don't think he even looked that comfortable with it, it looks all wrong to me. If you're going to have a 325 then have a 325.
Now we’re talking....

Something got messed up on the "Only A Memory" first run at the chorus. Only the harmony and not the melody vocal.

Ross Shafer, the final host for The Late Show (1986-1988). Not to be confused with David Lettermans show which started a few years later.
ugh the sound hurts my ears! I can't listen to it because it just seems disrespectful to the song
