The best. Great memories.
Surf music is still popular today. Sirius XM has a channel devoted to only surf music. RIP Dick Dale.
I will say it again, back when the san francisco bay area had a great music scene. While the Jefferson Starship was a little szchopranic musically going from "miracles" "run away" "ride the tiger" to "jane" "stranger" "can't find love" they were a great band. The critics were never too kind to them which i believed inspired on modern times album "f..k you we do what we want" but I saw them live and they put on a great show and they seemed to be having fun doing it. Nuclear furniture was the beginning of the end. While it had a few good songs, they seemed to be running out of steam. But nonetheless I think they were still a good band especially as a straight forward rock band from freedom at point zero to winds of change. Miss those days. 🤘🏻✌🏼
She was freemason blood sacrificed by freemasons
As a guitarist, he has already eaten everyone else for breakfast. There’s soul and emotion in his speed and in his silences between the notes.
album recording: 25 cents. hair styling bill: $20,500
Yikes! I remember this commercial.
Edith Massey is the best!
Used to cover this with my band. Killer song!
A friend of mine in AZ covered many of their songs and claimed them as his own :) Not long ago he was able to tell that story to Paul Collins and was allowed to sing a number o stage with them. Great sound!!
A humble man. Truly the best sailor in his time. Fame, fortune and trophies were unimportant to him. Ahead in the Golden globe race by a wide margin he decided to forego finishing the race and turned back out to sea.
this video is awesome
They were amazing. Saw them live in 1979. "The Knack" had Casablanca Records behind them, but were not nearly as good. So.... where is "The Knack" today?" Uff. Loved The Beat. Their first album - "The Beat" - one of the best EVER.
The water was indigenous until it was all sucked up by agriculture & livestock. The Desert Fan Palm tree is indigenous to that area as well.
Rockpile - one of the all time great live R&R bands! ❤
It’s a real shame this band doesn’t get more recognition outside of power pop nerd fandom. I couldn’t believe how good that album was the first time I listened to it, and I had never even heard of them until maybe 15 years ago.
Thank you for this. : 3
These women have no morals
John Waters polite and wholesome degeneracy is a gift to us all~
Landmark Music Video for 1979 of Early New Wave Classic ( 2 years before MTV made Music Videos a thing).
Try putting that on the market now 😮
Justice for Jennifer!!!
What I liked the most about Lou Reed was his companion Laurie Anderson
The voiceover guy on this is familiar… it just came to me. He did voiceovers for The Movie Channel in the early 80s
I saw them a few times around Los Angeles back in the 1980s, I think Paul's based in Spain now? They put out some very catchy-sounding music back in those days and I still have their first album. Love the video, it looks like they just set up 'wherever' on random Hollywood street corners and cranked out some air-guitar moves.
Say is that a picture of Mindreaders below the NBC N?
We Covered This Song back in the 80's Alot of Fun very Danceable!
Dr. Benway and Waltzing Matilda. Sad image circulates through backward time...the real song she won't even admit to herself.
This vid is soooo avant guarde
Sal looks wonderful! So handsome. 💕

Thats not how it went with jimi hendrix saying that. Dick developed cancer in 69-70. Jimi heard it from a band mate and then Jimi said the actual words "surf music is dead. Him and Dick were good friends.
Second movie isn't based on a Second book but i like it anyway
Paul Kantner comes off as a giant douchebag, which tracks.
Great song to wake up to every morning.
There speaks someone who knew the business. I Like how he drops into song, at the beginning
Where can I get the full version of this?
So it showed a f18 and a f16…..
Love the feel of the video. You can tell the 70s had segued into the 80s
The way the women in the beginning says Baltimore ha! Balimer
God bless the good commander. Saw him several times, he let it all hang out on stage. He blew away many of the world class acts you have heard of.
Just think roughly ten years before Grace was going to slip the president a Mickey
Bonito look tenían!
They were the best!!! The record companies screwed us and them for not giving the Lloyds a big fat contract!!!!!!
Right 👍
Interesting to see them all cool with each other. Miss these days!
I saw the commander an Illinois State on a triple header with the amazing rhythm aces and who was the other one I don't remember then I saw him again at the slippery Noodle oldest blues bar in the country in Indianapolis
"I will never see that bird again..." Bradbury, what an amazing man! It would be interesting to know when this video was produced.
He played the best looking best sounding Fender Stratocaster. Love that golden metal flake finish. Makes him stand apart from the others.
The line 'you'll never hear surf music again' by Hendrix wasn't in regard to surfs waning popularity. It was a tribute to Dick Dale who had cancer at the time and wasn't expected to survive.
He got it early didn't he?
@@cynthianaslim Yeah, I read somewhere that his treatment was one of the earliest times they used lasers in surgery!
Who is the woman in Which of us is the fool music video by Robert Palmer ?
