[@Susan-h9z]

Where?

[@juliannbruneio2222]

I am so excited about seeing John Waite again at the Steel Stacks Cafe on October 7th. This will be my 4th time and still he gets my heart. I will never forget when he invited my friend and I back to his hotel bar to have drinks with. He actually got on the phone and sang to my friend's mom to prove we were with him.

[@susanmoreland2671]

Wow I would luv to meet him and have a drink...

[@irishpirate6779]

dry martini at the temple bar ???

[@Alecmonster3]

John is absolute perfection. I have loved him back in The Babys days. I've been blessed to see him several times and meet him. His music has gotten me through incredibly dark days and I was able to say "Thank you." He is a gift and is cherished. His entire band is fantastic.

God bless you, John. Thanks for all the great songs, that have brought so much fun and good times.

[@TheTruthseeker59]

his voice still sounds great!

[@matthewcoddington2389]

Like the voices of John, Paul, George, and Ringo...John Waite was a voice through my teenage high school years with The Babys. Saw him and the band at the Oakland Auditorium. 79 or 80 I think. Keep going John. Keep making music.

[@karenbilyk-vogel6553]

What a absolutely fantastic interview!!👍👍

[@samualthelamanite7560]

Downtown is one of the best songs I have heard in years. Love the version on the Wooden Heart CD, but of course MUCH better Live. John is one of the greatest!

[@yvettesdavis]

Thank you so much for this and "When I See You Smile" is one of my favorite songs of all time!❤️

[@rockingdownunder]

Love it

[@airbake]

great host. JOHN SHOULD BE IN THE HOF>

[@elk9414]

Missing You came out the summer after my grandparents had been murdered so this song always took on a little bit of a different meaning to me. It took me another 33 years to figure out that my dad, still alive and still the lead suspect in that murder investigation, was the trigger man. And here we are.

[@davidmartin1949]

Sorry for your loss and pain .

[@susanmoreland2671]

OMG.. how horrible...

[@rosieweinstein209]

Oh my god sweetheart I’m very sorry to hear that it’s a nightmare that you had to endure 😭😢😿 how awful

[@chuckfriebe843]

I think he sounds better now than ever.

[@kroggydog]

thanks for this

[@andrewweber2010]

I don't think that host is all that familiar with John's career. "And you worked with a couple of guys that went on to work in Journey....." Neal Schon formed Journey in 1973, Jonathan Cain joined John's band The Baby's in late 1978 then joined Journey in 1981. Bad English formed in 1987. By 1987 Journey was finished as a song writing band. Plus Modern English was never heard from again after 1982.

[@guyo7351]

Yikes, that's what I thought at that point. Up to there the interview was ok. The Modern English reference was odd. Yeah that "went on to be in Journey.." was awkward. Jonathan Cain went on to be in Journey..after the Babys. Bad English was 3 ex-Babys + Neal & Deen....but you knew that, ha.

[@lobitome]

The interviewer embarrassed himself. I think it's a problem with a lot of people on radio or tv, they just don't do enough research, or have pop culture knowledge floating in their heads, like actual fans do.

[@berthag]

I just heard that. I was like 'whoa!! this guy!' Went on to be in Journey?? Neal and Jonathan were Journey long before Bad English was even an idea. But oh well, it is a very long history for both John Waite and Journey, so maybe the interviewer did not have enough time to do some in depth research. I'll give him a pass.

[@wandamundy1759]

Check out the video/duet he did with Alison Krauss - "I Ain't Missing You." It's killer !! Not what you would expect from Ms. Krauss - but she was HIS pick to do the song as a duet - which he'd thought it should be for 20 yrs.

[@silkyammer]

Those four solo albums "Ignition", "No Brakes", "Mask of Smiles" & "Rovers Return" were so good but then so were those five Babys albums . They should've been bigger than just in my house , but fuck it some bands really don't get the breaks they deserve

[@bodyslamchannel]

7:50 still sound like 1989 wtf !!!

[@pilsnrimgaard2507]

The soul of Paul Rogers.

[@Formula-602]

Rodgers*😉

[@wesdenham3847]

I did not know one of the Ramones was in John's band.

[@marceloromero4515]

Is that Pete Way on bass??

[@davidmartin1949]

18:25 and 31:56 !

[@bodyslamchannel]

the small picture before you click this link is absolutely horrible, john looks old and sick

[@brendastraley8829]

oxoxo good night

[@lobitome]

This clown said guys who went on to be in Journey... What a joke of a host. That aside, always great seeing John not only sing, but talk about the music.

[@atlbobby215]

First time I ever heard of this show not bad, it's the only thing VOA does that's not leftist propaganda

[@irishpirate6779]

white heat.....IGNITION !!!

[@christopherkenway]

You are just a conduit.

[@JWCFB]

Ol John, still butchering his own songs. Sad.
