Bangles - Manic Monday (1986) PIttsburgh, PA

[@marcmanis2970]

How can one woman be so stunning and sing like an angel? The whole band is beautiful and talented

[@susiepittman601]

I used to work with her brother, but I've never met her.

[@lanalane6838]

2:53! How beautiful Micki Steele is! The most beautiful among them and the most talented. How I wish there were women who look like her today but I see none! I wish the camera is only on her lol!

[@HellPatrol818]

Let's not forget how good the keyboard player is. He's just killin it right from the intro onwards. Really beautiful. The girls nailed it too :)

[@glenrivara2353]

Yeah he's the Boy Bangle, never acknowledged.

[@ytcarol]

Love this live version - takes me back to those big hair '80s.

[@paulinelambert7780]

i bet hair spray companies make so much money in those days, lol

[@tod3msn]

I saw the Bangles open for Cindy Lauper in 1984 in University Park, Pa, at Rec Hall. I never had an opening act impact me to the point I told my friend, “these ladies are going to be big successes.” I never forgot the Bangles and this was before all their famous hits.

[@cbstevp]

1986 - real singing, big lovely hair, beautiful women, great music, and videos on TV

[@stardemonspacecat]

Oh, Susanna... She OWNS you with that side glance !!! ... Giggity :):):)

[@vatonorteno]

The very petite Hoffs is as pretty and talented as they come. Talk about bedroom eyes.....

[@joegallo8281]

Shouldn't have had her eyes and nose donr

[@airager]

This is brilliant! What a performance of a top tune. They were'nt given due credit for their musicianship because they were all gorgeous!

[@mickeygarlock4611]

Prince wrote this song and gave it to them to record, it charted at no. 2, no. 1 was Kiss, by Prince.

[@osbangloromerog.3559]

Perfect!! Susanna Hoffs Bangle~Girl & BANGLES, They're My Perfect Music Band I love since 1985!!

[@johnashley327]

I was attending Pitt in 86. Syrian Mosque was right across the street.

[@beyond_the_infinite2098]

why they tear it down? looked like a cool place to have a concert

[@kenmcneillmusic1699]

I saw them at Santa Monica Civic around this time. Not one flat note. Musically and vocally spot on. Another great Prince composition as well.

[@syarbrough8510]

The keyboard at the intro here live is great!

[@The_Swede90]

Susanna Hoffs got the voice of an angel 😍😍😍

[@MiuraLang]

Let's go make some noise... and the crowd went wild! ❤❤❤❤

[@Fiftynine414]

Great memories! Gorgeous chicks slaying it on stage. My end of the generation was as good as the front runners were.

[@PBmurray71]

An excellent band. Lucky enough to see the original lineup in London at the Shepherd's Bush Empire in 2001.

[@musicis.4045]

Gorgeous all of them.

[@arielcastellano]

Susanna manages the crowd with her eyes only

[@Lifestreamable]

Those eyes

[@garypeatling7927]

Her cute figure big hair all added to make her perfect and sings and writes

[@Iatacosmic]

In an interview she said that look was completely by accident. The director kept yelling at the girls to not look into the camera. She was looking off to the side, remembered what he said, and did the little blink thing instead.

[@victoriannecastle]

@@Iatacosmic in another interview it's said the style is copied from this person named Jett though it's not directly Susannah who said it

[@salozmen29]

@@Lifestreamable That body

[@davebyers16066]

the best intro ever

[@Choc1Joe]

This was an MTV concert...back when MTV actually showed music! Yeah, everyone looked and sounded great, especially Susanna, lol! This song has actually aged quite well, I like it much better now than I did at the time....

[@dougalmac54]

Prince wrote this song for The Bangles because he had the hots for Susanna Hoffs. Duh! Who wouldn't? I love this song and her voice. Not the typical chick singer sound. Plus i dig the fact that ALL these ladies can really play and groove, which is way cool.

[@Am0rLov3]

False

[@John-bf4zt]

They made the 80's wonderful 🙂

[@lauraserrano7920]

MIRAR. ESTO ❤

[@11rockiton]

Where there is a Rickenbacker, there is good music.

[@deheckler]

We would just walk thru the back doors at The Mosque in 1970&71 and catch bands like Allman Bros, The Band, Van Morrison, and like 100 other acts!!!

[@shaynesmith4327]

Each time I look at Miss Hoffs in this video I fall in love

[@golammahbubmorshed3514]

I like this song. Very melodious.

[@MrBigred1990]

Prince.

[@romeonarcizo]

My favorite song of them!!!...A real classic...And she's sound great live

[@Bojan1764]

Great live version, great harmonies.

[@Veil86]

Awe wow from 1986, the year I was born. Nice! =3

[@calam8286]

Micki Steele - long legged goddess.

[@ChildOfThe1970s]

This song sounds even better when performed live. I love the way Susanna's voice echoes from the microphone in the arena. People can say what they want, but Susanna was the main attraction in that band. Nothing against the others, they all had a role. But, she was by far the most attractive and her voice made it all work. And those eyes are hypnotizing!

[@roguenation]

If Hoffs was really the "main attraction" then how come she never amounted to much as a solo act?

[@ChildOfThe1970s]

That has nothing to do with her being the main attraction in the Bangles. She is the only one of the four who became a star while in the band and whose name most people remember.

[@GregoryRCosta]

@@ChildOfThe1970s Agreed. It's like Debbie Harry, who never made it far in the solo career. Don't get me wrong. Clem Burke is an amazing drummer and Chris Stein is a great writer...but Debbie WAS Blondie.

[@StiffAftermath]

Sound fantastic live!

[@martinzaehringer1697]

Back when guys filled the arena to see a girl band . . . because they could rock

[@mickfunny4185]

That hairspray tho😆

[@MCM686]

Straight up.

[@KuroshiDawn]

Hairspray was the 80s tho but yeah

[@eljefescientist5726]

back then there was no such thing as Female Artists performing to Female Audiences. That came in the 90s. In the 80s it was rock or Menudo.

[@mickeygarlock4611]

@@eljefescientist5726 They were never a girl band, they were a rock band.

[@attamuhammad5139]

Amazing fantastic song old is gold thanks

[@mikeanderson2123]

Love The Bangles..!! 😍 👍

[@jander1018]

Probably the best live recording of The Bangles --- my opinion of course! And if you like this, look for the complete KZbin vids of the Pittsburgh '86 concert, in five parts, courtesy of what was MTV.

[@stephennixon9609]

I was flabbergasted when I found out Prince wrote this song under the name Christopher. It just showed what a genius the guy was. And then I heard his version and I was like this guy is incredible. And I wanted Susanna so bad. I would've loved to tell her C'MON HONEY LET'S GO MAKE SOME NOISE.

[@phenixreturns]

one of my fav band

[@Cptbiggb]

Dang how I wish I could have been there! I was there in spirit. I was 9 months old! -B

[@luciobarrientos4853]

Me gusta mucho la baterista.

[@vatonorteno]

The guitar is as big as Susanna. Sexy, talented group. Who can resist them? By the way, this song was written by the late Prince Rogers Nelson.

[@CatNolara]

The guitar looks bigger because the picture is horizontally stretched. Just wanted to point that out ;)

[@WAQWBrentwood]

+Klaufmann Yep, People, Stop "stretching" 4:3 video to fit 16:9!! It's worse than jagoffs who shoot video in "portrait"!

[@victorormido8893]

The best girl band of my time their songs melody,the voices and the way they played.others only they could only sing. Butt they could not play the instruments.the bangles is the best.

[@ShaneSamsa]

Anyone else find it hilarious (and badass) that Michael rolls her eyes in this and WLAE from the same performance, their two biggest hits?

[@ryugakira7706]

It is badass ngl

[@user-RomYch978]

Great ballad! Cool, catchy, in other words: majestic!

[@GeorgeVreelandHill]

I want my Mondays to be manic with the Bangles!

[@erreur]

@ the old Syria Mosque in Oakland, now a parking lot......miss that place, great venue

[@lancemccormivk6407]

I saw them twice, still just as sweet!

[@michaeladamcik7475]

Lance Mccormivk Check out the live U tube Florida concert. Still the best now.

[@injanhoi1]

I would imagine they would rich. Hugely popular in the 80s and had many hits. I would have to say they one of my favourite groups. When I think of a group I really loved they come to mind.

[@markduncan6690]

You bet there is something very powerful with Susanna,s very powerful gaze!

[@atilacouto4931]

Susanna's voice is a amazing. They were a very good live band.

That is one beautiful woman

[@Coryesp79]

My first love.... Suzanna! God!!!!! so beautiful and talented

[@talldarkhandsome8587]

I knew Susanna was gorgeous before I ever saw her just based on her voice. To me she was one of the best lead singers of any group then or now. Taking her out of the group would be like taking Gwen Stefani out of No Doubt.

[@onoitsuagain]

Manic Monday always liked it....

[@bernardfreire]

[@stooge35]

@@cbarrett34 Yes. I see in the description now that it was the Syria Mosque. Looks like it was torn down in 91. That's too bad because it looked like a nice place.

La gente disfrutando a lo bestia del concierto y no como ahora que están todos con el puto movil y no se enteran de lo que están viendo. Susan "Hot" sigue siendo la mujer más sexy del planeta. Que locura de mirada. Palote palote solo con verle los ojos...

[@eduardojosevillarroellored7534]

Fantastic!

[@bganonimouse2754]

One of the few real live performances of this song on youtube and its fantastic. As a side note, the 'side eye' that Hoffs is giving, left and right while never looking forward or into the camera is because she couldn't see the camera in the distance in the middle. She's usually got a great awareness where the camera is as can be seen from multiple other performances.

[@ledheads]

Loved the Syria Mosque

[@chipon31]

Susanna Hoffs is smokin' hot!

[@thomasharris1953]

Another great Prince hit done by a talented artist

[@MsCaleb79]

Good old days when the bands played real live

[@luboskrnac]

Great song...nice girls

[@punishedexistence]

Suzanna looks a bit like Christy Canyon. Aside from her smokin body and pretty face, they all are great musicians, it's not easy to exactly replicate a song on stage. I think I was 7 years old at this time, the 80's were great.

[@ugowar]

Never cared much for Manic Monday myself. IMHO, the intro here is by far the best part.

[@MrBigred1990]

But do care enough to comment on it. Perhaps you did care, even a little…

[@AlanAlian-xd4cx]

Love you Bangles.

[@choicetaco44]

I know it's a prince song , but it reminds me of "Take me with you" from the purple rain ☔️ soundtrack
