Book of Love Full Concert [1989 05 28] Gift Center__360p

[@miketaylordrummer]

In this day of all things auto-tuned and pre-tracked, it is refreshing to hear live vocals that may not be perfectly on pitch. It lets me know that I'm hearing a live performance and not just someone lip syncing to the track.

Saw them at the Fillmore in the Spring of ‘89, with my sister as part of her up coming HS graduation gift. Her other concert gift was seeing The Cure at Shoreline that September. The first concert I had taken her to was The Smiths at the Greek Theatre in ‘86. She told me she loved when I’d tell her, “I bought you tix for ‘whatever band’, it’s on ‘such n such night.” She kept all the ticket stubs of the gigs we went to. Music truly was a family affair. So happy to have been born in ‘69. Music is my SSRI. 😉

wish I was your sister yo

[@Scikonaut]

We saw them around that time as well, in NYC, can’t remember the venue’s name atm, think it was mid or uptown. Incred show.

[@movimientoelchapo5336]

Probably one of the most underrated bands from the 80s and probably underated in general. However they were way beyond the limelight in terms of lyrics, story lines and the beats are just pure and simple. Magical and Smooth

[@DJAlgorhythms]

Shhh…there’s no actual rating system.

[@chazzcarsley4635]

i agree I saw them live twice with a meet and greet amzing band and show

[@colinwilson4609]

Italian-Americans from Philadelphia can't do synth pop. Untrue. Nova Heart by the Spoons is also great if you want to check out Canadian stuff.

[@ricogomez4020]

After their 1st album they just sucked.

[@charleschandler7303]

only xers from the 80s can really apreciate the music in thier ears

[@calypso2niner]

Oh damn, I went to this tour and just found this video in 2024 and my heart is melting.

[@markheidema3699]

T.B.O.L. got me through High School back in the late 80's. Would listen to them on my Sony Walkman in my biology class...lol

[@Exmirror]

I saw them open for Depeche mode in June of 1986 at the Tower Theater in Philadelphia.

[@bobbyfriske1956]

Same! But in Fort Worth. What a great show by both bands!

[@Eljuanpi828]

wow, what an honor!!!

[@tronique]

I saw them open for Depeche Mode in May of 1986 in Duesseldorf, Germany.

[@VIC-20_Synthwave]

@@bobbyfriske1956 I was there too! My first concert & first band to see live.

[@BlaineFeldstein-nd5ei]

Saw the same tour some great reward chicago aragon ball roomm. It wasn't a concert it was a dance concert and book of love was amazing

[@brianptguitarkeyboardcover9957]

Love this band, late to there music but better late than never

[@NelaniStine]

I LOVE bOOK OF LOVE:

[@mjproebstle]

Always loved BOL! Can’t help thinking about Kraftwerk and how many excellent electronic bands such as BOL stood on the shoulders of those pioneering giants! Cheers

[@surveillancedroses6813]

great example of how stage presence is the best set piece

[@TaquitoTown]

This can't be real....I wish I was there....

[@charleschandler7303]

it will always be the happy day as long as you keep singing

[@victorevanssr.5034]

Just a great band

[@silviaadriana4299]

No puedo encontrar Book of love!❤

[@paojensen1]

SOMOS TODOS UN AVE FENIX cuando se nos toca la fibra musical en tiempos felices que marcan al empezar a oirlos😍😍😍

[@carlosalbertoroa9578]

MUI lindo tu comentario me hace acordar esas tardes de verano mirando el cielo y saliendo a boliches ❤️

[@richarda1937]

[@prowlermadmax2]

I saw them live in Brownsville, Texas back in 1989

[@richarda1937]

Amazing !!!

[@edaudio]

Lauren Roselli worked at a kitch shop called "Little Rickie's," around the corner from my audio shop in the east village. I admit i had a bit if a crush on her. Saw them at the Pyramid Club on Avenue A and loved them!

[@rupertfergusson]

Jade is such a boss. I saw them at Visage in Orlando.

[@theimaginarygallery5935]

That guitar!

[@brendanfrancisgrady]

You can sing with or without you to Boy. Same chords. I still love the groove though.

[@luisandresrivera4557]

ADORE!

[@stephenpage5687]

Crisp and clean and no caffeine..

[@cabaddude]

👏👏👏 I remember seeing them open up for Depeche Mode but I’m not sure if I saw them here, but I kinda remember being there and admiring their shoes 🤣

[@rgray35]

Buen grupo

[@smokeyanthony]

I guess the only other voice that I might compare to Susan Ottaviano is the late Patty Donahue. Both sang in a laid back style, but yet so sexy.

[@jessefigueroa345]

❤️

[@djkenny1202]

Sweeeet

[@silviaadriana4299]

Se me pianta un lagrimon

[@mattmontalto7511]

Good Lord what a trainwreck.

[@WilliamAshleyOnline]

Whoa getting massive Masterboy - Colors (Show me Colors) allusion at 3:00 to 4:00 on for a bit.. obviously not the same but I am curious if colours was inspired by Book of Love imo Show me colors is a better track than this version ... odd that Master boy also contains the name of the title curious if it is linked or just coincidence, the melody vaguely alludes to Show me Colors. Not sure why it feels like a second generation offspring of Book of Love Boy kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKW5m2B9ftKjkJo

[@ampdaptive9988]

I first heard their song pages from my book love back in the 80s and though this band is very cool. I never saw them live until I came across this video. They are excellent when it comes to sampling and synth but voice well its not so great though

[@Thekijuju]

@@DanielToth-1976 you're the boss my good sir. Thank you!!

[@djkenny1202]

Play Witchcraft?

[@ricogomez4020]

So they play tapes at a live show?

[@spunk69monkey]

At this point in history, midi tracking and triggers were standard. They had several sounds and effects that were called through the tracking. There were no tapes. In contrast to today where bands can barely perform without a click track in their ears and computers which control the entire show, including being sources for music and vocal tracking, in addition to all effects, automation, video, et cetera. True, it's still triggered, but at least back then the band was still a band and not so much puppets.

[@-art3544]

love the band - sound kind of bland live :/

[@spunk69monkey]

Lauren's brother Fr Marc was my instructor for two the four years in high school. He always spoke of her and the band. He was who introduced me.

[@1aJohnnyP]

Horrible kidiing meeeeeeee
