what a classic song. Great job

The Bangles, the way they're supposed to sound, with those 4 part harmonies and soft electric guitars and bass. And when they go up a half note on that second verse, Susanna's higher pitched voice kicks in, and the entire harmony goes in crescendo till the end. Perfection. And this is not a recording but a live concert. I've always wondered how it would sound in a top quality recording. They could have been a hit band back in the 60s and joined the Beach Boys and The Mamas and the Papas to be counterweight to the British Invasion. And even though Susanna is my Eternal Hearthrob, all four look absolutely stunning in this concert. Something about 40 year old women that are confortable in their own skin.

Yes. There's also something about 40 year old men who are comfortable in their own skin....something about humans of any age who are comfortable in their own skin.

Nice rendition😊

Great take by the song penned by Sylvia Fricker. Popularized by We Five in the 60's. Love the awesome harmonies but I still am partial to the powerful vocals of Bev Bivens of We Five's version.

All four of the Bangles!!! Yes!

I love when the bangles do 60s remakes. They do it right

What an interesting song choice by them- a beautiful song, rendered beautifully by the Bangles.

Always loved this tune; Bangles covered it well, not easy.

I love the chord changes half-way through; it adds an interesting dynamic to the song. This is a great cover

This nice bit of Canadiana made this Canadian very happy!

Yes, Ian&Sylvia were coming from the end of the folk hootenanny era, and We Five were at the beginning of the so-called “folk-rock” era later epitomized by Linda Ronstadt and her backing band who would become The Eagles.

I don't remember the original (I'll have to listen to it) this is really good, all four singers are beautiful, I always had a crush on Debbie , and Be With You is my favorite Bangles song, it came out when I was a teenager, and I was out of touch with reality back then, When I use to see the video I use to think she was singing it to me, then a few years later reality hit me like a cruel jerk and realized she wasn't singing it to me, The Bangles really do sound good live, I never have sadly gone to see them in concert, but I'm glad I can at least get to enjoy it on KZread ,

I love The Bangles! Last time I saw them was at the 80s weekend at Microsoft Theatre. I was on shrooms... It was awesome! The first time I saw them was at The Fairplex in Pomona. They are ROCK LEGENDS.

Greatest 80s girl band covering a great 60s SF sound tune from the one hit wonder .... We Five! Excellent post!

I'm impressed, that was damn good.

Written by Sylvia of Ian and Sylvia and We Five took it to #1 in 1965, the same year Bob Dylan committed sacrilege in the folk community by doing "Like a Rolling Stone" with an Electric Guitar! We Five's lead singer and only woman was Beverly Bivens, who's the only surviving member.

Great harmonies!

As another has said, it's not an easy song. They didn't play all the intricacies but the jangle, rhythm and harmonies done well it rises to another plane..as it does here.

Wonderful harmony.

Great song sung by some lovely girls.God bless them.

Listening in 2019 and really loving this wonderful hit song from the 60's group known as We Five.

Simply Beautiful!

I'm impressed!

Fantastic! Great harmony

Great job girls on a great song !

This is fantastic!!

One of my favourite 60's songs, sung by the GREATEST girl band of all time!

When I first heard this song in 65, I belived it was a love song, between two people. But now, it really makes sense. WOW blow my mind.

Beautifully done.

Beautiful ladies. Beautiful voices. Then and now.

Gorgeous and the song is perfect too

I don't know the original, but Crispian St. Peters sings this wonderfully well too. An amazing artist, as are the Bangles.

I'm old enough so that the '60s hit version by We Five came out when I was a kid in grammar school. It was a big favorite of mine and I've loved it ever since then. I wasn't aware of this version until today. Excellent cover!

The song was written by Sylvia Fricker - in 1962 - and recorded with her husband Ian Tyson whom she married in 1964. They were known as Ian and Sylvia...both Canadians...and well known for their song 'Four Strong Winds'.

Great cover, girls! LUV those voices all blended like the best mousse. LOL

Micki Steele told me how much she liked this song in 1982 or 1983. So I went home to the Hollywood Hills and got the single out. Drove over to her house late that night and put it in the mailbox so she would be surprised to get it when she got her mail the next day. It turned into a VERY hot day in Los Angeles so when she got her mail about noon she found the single in its sleeve in the mailbox but it was warped beyond belief. It looked more like an ashtray or a boomerang than a 45rpm recording.

Nice!

A nice rendition of the original I do believe it was from 1966. My cousin had it on a '45. I was 8 years old and loved it.

Saw them at Slane Castle 1985 they were outstanding.

In the 1960s also an Italian beat group called Equipe 84 sang this song, translated into 'Io ho in mente te'. So long

A massively under rated, and highly talented group. I don’t know who managed them and lined up their gigs, but it should have been way better. Before “You Were On My Mind”, you can see the blond worried about her guitar being out of tune. I’ve been up there in the lights that heat wood and steel at different rates. The harder you play the harder it is to stay in tune. So you do your best to stay in tune, not only with your instrument but the others as well. So you wind up pushing through hoping it is not all that out of tune. Well done gals. 👍👍😎

Susanna is beautiful

Sooo cool.

I love these girls.

Susanna Hoffs.. How beautiful you are 🙏👍

After all these years, they are still dolls.

Great cover Ladies.

RIP Jerry Granelli (7/20/21), drummer on the 1965 song by "We Five." Mr. Granelli is best known for his jazz drumming, including “A Charlie Brown Christmas".

FAN-FREAKIN'-TASTIC!

Timeless.... Eternally timeless

Saw them at The Channel in Boston in '87. For their encore they did a beautiful, sad, sailing version of the Grassroots' "Where Were You When I Needed You?"

Brilliant.....

This is a really kick ass cover of a truly classic pop song. Actually, the We Five version most of us are familiar with was likewise a cover version of an Ian & Sylvia composition. Whatever, great job ladies, y’all rock!

Just more proof that the Bangles were/are the greatest girl group ever.

MAGIC !!!!!
