Awesome band

I always loved this song on the original album but, this is a great live version! It's been 35 years since The Works released their album "From Out Of Nowhere"! Still one of my favourite Canadian band albums!

Outras músicas deles onde estao

Rockin 😂😅

Hope you are still rocking it? Not a chair. Life's too short. Cheers

Surprised this did not be a bigger hit!

RIP Davis Manning. You were a good friend and the reason a learned to play saxophone as a kid.

Great AOR band! Thanks for share!

RIP Downie!

The Works were a truly great, Canadian, kick ass band! I have the album the only album by The Works and it always getting a listen on a regular basis!!!

I just wish there was somewhere out there in Toronto that just happens to have an entire video camera tape filled with this entire live show of The Works........I have this album and I never get tired of hearing it!

Hello Brian! Ron Behro here from Sarnia, ON. Great Job on this tune!!! Was this done in your house? Are you guys out there gigging? Keep up the great work! Cheers!!!!

vaya pedazo de videazo

Beautiful voice.

Stan Johnston, today you are my hero, lol! 1984!!!!! Just for having a video camera back then, this is exceptional. Thanks so much for sharing this. & If you have more from this show--anything at all, no matter the quality, you can be sure we all would love to see it. Cheers!

I've never seen any clips with the sax player in it. He was good, but I'm currently trying to image the difficulties of working a sax in to every Hip song. Its much easier to show the Canadian Pete Best the door.

This is the first video I've seen with Davis Manning on sax. Thanks for recording and uploading! Was this at The Loyalist? Check out my channel if you want to see how The Tragically Hip Day (August 20, 2016) unfolded in Kingston.

We need more!

Thanks for this great video! One of the band members was a friend of mine, way, way back and I have been looking forward to seeing it again. Reminds me of how old I really am. Still nice to think back though, this is very, very.............oh so very 80's. I love it!

Hello Stan, Thank you very much for posting this video. The songs "Slave To The Thrill" and "Love Is A Dangerous Weapon" video. So cool!!!!!! Where did you record this live performance? The Works was an awesome Toronto band and this is first time I have seen any live recordings posted on KZbin. Awesome!!!!!!! I saw The Works play live in Toronto at a place called The Diamond Club for free. back in 1990 when I was going to college. Thanks for the post!

Very cool!

Voice is strong as on the album. Nice range. The key's are quite tacky sounding. No fault of the guys. Liked this group! Still have the cassette somewhere! HA!!

aww cute Stan !!

This is awesome! I have been searching for this video for 20+ years. Someone taped over it bak in the day and I have been trying to find it ever since. Love it, thank you. Huge fan.

this is great....any chance of a renunion tour...or maybe a trip to regina?

Awesome video Brian! Thanks for sharing! -Angie

Brian, thanks so much for posting this one! Did you have this one on an old videotape? I have never seen it since back in the day when MuchMusic was playing it all the time. Any prospects for you guys getting back together to make some more music? This one brings me right back to my days at Humber College living next door to you on Yorkview Drive in Toronto. Thanks for the memories! Cheers! Ron

Hey Brian good to see you are still playing drop me a line to let me know where you are living and what you are up to...I am out in BC you can see how nice it is out here on my video above...shot in Feb last year....talk soon. Terry Mancin

Brian, I have watched this video at least a dozen times since I found it and I really like these songs. You should record these songs and release them on CD! I have the first song, Man of a Few Words stuck in my head. I would love to hear it with full band backing. Lead guitars, bass, drums, keys, vocal harmonies. Great work Brian!

Brian, these two songs are excellent! Glad that you posted this video. You should record these and put out a CD. Cheers! Ron Behro Sarnia, ON.
