Best live show band to see back then.

Missed seeing this tour at Metro ‘86, didn’t have a car and couldn’t get a ride up from Purdue. Man, what a band

One of my favorite hoods tunes!

My favorite bad to see.

Saw the awesome band at least 30-40 times in the albany NY area and in their hometown of Boston -so fucking amazing!

I grew up in Boston around this time but was never exposed to great music like this because I was slightly too young. First time I heard No Place Like Home was on an album called DIY- Mass. Ave - The Boston Punk Scene from 75-83. Some really great bands on that album, Real Kids, Nervous Eaters, Mission of Burma, Human Sexual Response, and of course, The Neighborhoods. Oh yeah, and a little band called The Cars.

Dave is a dead ringer for Judy Garland (sorry Dave)!

This is great to watch. Man, David’s been doin it for a long time! I was in 6th grade in Miami in 1979! But I grew up to become a fan and enjoy the Hoods when I moved to Boston in 1990.

Thanks for sharing. This was my last time seeing Danny and Clarence play together. Did you happen to get "Jungleland "?

Dave Minihan... The pride of Upton MA. 🤘

Greenday no comparison to the Neighborhoods Billy Joe Armstrong doesn't even come close to SIR DAVID MINEHAN .just watch one of the Replacements shows with David and Billy Joe on stage together he doesn't even come close to DAVID

Boston had great bands in the eighties.

Saw them a bunch of times. Saw them open for The Ramones at Taunton High School gym. Weird venue, great show by both bands!

We need more of this era! God Bless the people who resurrect happiness😅❤❤❤😊

So good, I booked them at Jacks in Cambridge on Mass Ave., always a lot of fun!

Wow, this brings back fun memories seeing them in Boston in the great days!!!! Hope all the guys are well!! Denise ☮️❤️🙏🏽🍄🌱🐾🎸🕊️

I always rolled down the window when this song came on the radio ☺☺how lucky to live when this was 😊😊😊😊😊

I was madly in love with David Minehan ❤❤❤❤❤❤ back in the 80s - the best Boston Scene Ever

Fantastic! It ain't easy being a 'hood.

It ain't easy being a 'hood.

After watching this for a decade or so, I just now noticed that the guitar and bass cords have been edited out. At the 19 second mark, you can see the guitar is plugged in.

More Replacements…than the Replacements.

it's really too bad they never got their live sound down on vinyl. The single was pretty good but not as high energy as this

I got to play with the Hoods, the Lads, the Atlantics, the Eggs, Human Sexual Response, the Probers, Lou Miami & the Kosmetics, the Gluons, the Outlets, Rubber Rodeo, LaPeste, the Stompers, the Moderns. Nervous Eaters, the Real Kids. . . can't remember them all. We were The REPUTATIONS. THE CHANNEL, LINCOLN PARK BALLROOM, BUNRATTY'S, THE RAT, PARADISE, THE LIVING-ROOM, METRO. . . there is more. We all took turns opening or closing the show. One big happy competitive family!

I'm a high school teacher. Have been for thirty years. When I put this video on, ALL the kids STOP and LOOK, and LISTEN. Why? Because this is so good, honest , real and raw and because it is TIMELESS. The Hoods were great then. They are almost even better now. Dave is the frontman's frontman!

I just saw David the other day. Great guy !

Great Song!!

The Rat 1979 !!!!

I met Paul back in 1989 at NYC. China Club. He was on a date with his wife. Great guy for a professional rock star.

Hey,Dave took my daughter and her husband when you opened for Iggy at HOB Boston,they wouldn't let me near dressing rm upstairs to say hi,you sounded great still,Eddie from The Rat,the good old days.

Bowie was a big fan. They played the tree Cafe in Portland for 300 and the next night opened for Bowie at his bequest for thousands.

Great set Dave, saw you guys with Iggy a few years back,time flies eh pal? Your friend,Eddie from Rat.

Thanks for posting this. Sometimes you find some gems on YT!

Baby blue Strat years. The best Neighborhoods era.

Just started randomly singing “The Prettiest Girl” in my heart and thank goodness it lead me to rediscovering the Neighborhoods. They are definitely one of the great bands from my days in Boston.

Another great song!

I'm about a decade late to be 20 years late for this comment, but who is the second guitarist in this video? Just a show pony for the vid? Saw the Hoods a few times back in the day and been listening to them for a long time .... I thought it was always a three man show. Amazing to stumble across this now.

Mullet City

Realy cool but it could’ve been better if they had tuned first.

Jammed with Willie Loco Alexander via Jay Moore. MORE COWBELL ON BASS ROCKS!

I was your back up singer FM RADIO with the Bowling Balls the CLAMZ and the FIXX. I smoked too much.

You sound like your my LIVING ROOM

Inspired at least 1000 Bands. Love them.

If any of you have followed the Hoods for a long time you might remember a guy who was their biggest fan named Mike Oliver, Steel Tip alumni, he passed away on Tuesday 12/7 in Woonsocket RI.

My brother John was the bass player. In the fall of 1979, I visited him one weekend, and Dave Minehan asked me if I wanted to be a roadie. Dave Minehan, Mike Qualia, my brother John, Og, Chuck and I all lived together in a big house in Scituate MA. We did a lot of shows. What a great experience.

the neighborhoods used to play at the punk bar i worked at& i'd see them in boston. mike qualia the drummer & I used to makeout, because our last names begin with a Q!! they were always so much fun& good guys. I worked at K.J.'S Hollywood & vine in Milford, Ma. A freakin blast to be in & work in. I AM the prettiest girl!!! yow!!

They were so f*king great back in the late 70s/early 80s. Michael's drumming and singing here is absolutely top f*king notch.

I saw them in Providence, must have been 81, lived right across from the Rat...

This is one of those perfect pop songs. It really is timeless and could be covered all these years later and a band could get a hit out of it. . .again.

No Place Like Home is really a phenomenal rock and roll song. Doesn’t get old after FORTY years!
