I was a huge XTC fan by 1980, but sadly never managed to go see them. This is a fantastic set!

My husband plays this song for me all the time. ❤❤

I'm Still listening all the time.

Pat D was the coolest guy, ty for acknowledging my fake karaoke attmpts. RiP. Gr8 underrated tunes. The Smithereens..

Great guitar tone.What a bass tone

We wont see or hear music like this ever again. The music industry is a real POS sometimes. Thanks for the upload

I'd like to christen these guys as 'The American Fab 4' . They deserve it, and were influenced by the 'other' Fab 4, and it shows!

Las Vegas

They belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Trailblazersndud their own thing....crafted their own sound. ICONS!!!

Happy 35th birthday!!!

Love to Keith Star...

The guy who he look at meg 😂😂😂😂❤

Little! To No! Talent.The Guy Talks No Singing.Udiotic! Idiotic! Group ?!?

They're so plainly all enjoying the song. That's the way it should be.

Poor Paul. When the video you brought to show is better than the feature film you're about to release.

Unique and damn good. ✌️

I just took to Jus5.Ttttttttttt rad, mnda to 1 change×

My god, they were just the awesomest couple!

I saw them in Chicago a few days earlier. Still the best gig I've ever been to. They were better than they'd been since 76.

Bombarderos pesados!!! Que banda increíble!!!

Tin roof rusted!

This was definitely the highlight of the Letterman show that night. Should have given them to full hour. Man are the good times really over for good?

Tin roof Rusted

Rip big cat

In that weird period where he had to explain what a record was lol. Now most people would be more familiar with records then something like a cd. My local targets have a small cd rack, maybe a few blurays/dvds, but an aisle of records.

Every movement and utterance with purpose and yet feeling spontaneous makes this band a modern day Mozart in performance and edge. So constantly obsessed. They are going to be my life epitaph recording after life. All their performances on vid and repeat.

2024 🎵🎵🎵🌎

If they were 20% less gay, they’d have been 80% more popular.

So underrated

Love this song and video so awesome 😎😎😎

Odd that this upload has 1.6K upvotes in 14 years vs. less than 900 for the official upload in 12 years.

was supposed to be in a movie in 89 I believe

Never seen this before

Every night with my heart meds

Great song, great hook, deserved way better than that shitty hand held camera vid.

Try to see Terry Chambers’ show (eXTC). They do a nice job and Terry is a great guy.

I can't believe that I forgot this band for so many years. I ... I remember it now so vividly. Wow!

The most criminally underrated rock band ever.

This is so bad it's perversely good.

Thanks. ✌🏻👊🏼

KILLER HARMONIES!!! M.O'B

An Outrageously Amazing Song ! A Totally Terrific Fantastic Rock Band " The Smithereens ! I could listen to this song all day Long ! Great Job Guys !

This is from the last year ever XTC performed live! Had the luck to see them in Wiesbaden (Germany) in that same year! One of the greatest acts that ever touched my ears!

Fred is on point!

This is mega.

I still love this band 37 years after I was first introduced to him by accident
