Dick Clark interviews Firefall on American Bandstand. Firefall introduces Lisa the singer that showed up to help them with the song. Her dream is to become a recording artist with her own tunes. The Firefall's singer says that when he travels he tries to sleep as much as he can because no matter how much the schedules looks empty it's always busy to be on the road.

Ricky is one of smartest & vocally talented dudes I've had the pleasure of knowing. Mark the kindest, most compassionate. Jocko his passion for his guitar & devotion uncommon. David (RIP) kind, spiritual & multi- creative beyond belief. Tristan - happy most all the time... Mr. Joey Lala sweet sweet, sweet! Old friends & good Music go together like wine & cheese. Much ❤ missing you ALL!

I loved watching American Bandstand. Miss Dick Clark he was so respectful when he interviewed the be bands.

[@patriciaa.fisher5493]

These guys are great I listen to their music all the time favorite song strange way

[@timothymbess]

Drummer Tris Imboden is probably best known for his time with Chicago, as their second drummer after Danny Seraphine left.

[@thomasguitarman9025]

great song from a great band

[@drumbyte]

Jock's guitar playing is so classy and sublime!

[@deanusmanus]

Lala! That guy is a legend in percussion. Not a surprise that he played in Firefall for a spell with his connection to Stephen Stills & Rick Roberts.

[@andrewdouglass1427]

This is such a DC moment. He can seem superficial, but look at what he integrates and what he draws from the performers. It's astonishing.

[@pauli6043]

Tris Imboden on drums! Wow! He would go on to spend over 25 years in Chicago the band

[@shauntrailskinner9645]

Dick Clark was a stand-up guy, a real down to earth person. Their was nothing pretentious about him. Probably one of the best gameshow hosts of all time, with the, $100000 Pyramid show. He made it look so natural on that show, with his quick wit. He was very charismatic, very intelligent, on that show, which is sorely lacking in todays gameshow hosts, like Steve Harvey, or Drew Carey. Their were no foul languages or buffoonery from Dick Clark.

[@gochstree14]

So great to see this material. I never had the opportunity to see this episode. Lisa is a nice addition to this group. I still need the DVD's to these episodes DC productions. Please produce.

Recuerdoos de los 70 y 80 calidad de rolitas

[@hectorsalinasisback]

I don't blame singer Rick Roberts for letting this beautiful woman tag along with them. Rick was also a member of The Flying Burrito Brothers, the spinoff of The Byrds/Gram Parsons.

[@willteuscher8253]

These comments really opened my eyes to Dick’s finesse. He really does erase any awkwardness.

[@zachhoran]

Staying with It was the #34 1981 hit that Lisa sings on.

[@rickgrosse8211]

Drummer is Tris Imboden who played with Chicago for many years.

[@BlueEyes-gp8lg]

And with Kenny Loggins for many years before that.

[@hippydippy]

Their original drummer Michael Clarke was with the early Byrds, & Flying Burrito Brothers as well.

[@sb66516]

The great Joe Lala

[@uncleelmer]

Mark Andes was with Heart for a long time in the 80's.

[@shahinabbasov790]

Lisa Nemzo such underrated ARTIST her albums amazing I didn't knew she contributed vocals for staying with it with firefall , florence warners version also great

[@allang1968]

1981. The last year of disco

[@MellowCorn-xs8bn]

yup, it died Aug 1st 1981 when MTV came one, and boom the 70's were over overnight.

[@mediaguy4037]

This band changed lineups once a week, according to what I've read on them. I like their song "Runaway Love" that's about it.

[@billbright1755]

Lisa what a beautiful face.❤

[@tootrue6529]

Dick Clark was the master of conducting awkward interviews. I don't know how he did so well...

[@lauragem796]

That's exactly what I was thinking! The guy was horrible as a host.

[@bobdavis4848]

I did a tribute to Dick when he died, but here he apologizes for reaching to take Lisa's hand, then he touches her arm, then shoulder, than holds her hand…not exactly a feminist. I saw Lisa Nemzo in concert solo, she did a song about needing a "Buckwheat Colored Jaguar Automobile."

[@larryhinze3664]

I like to hear his old radio show...ROCK ROLL AND REMEMBER. Still plays on KIXI in Seattle.

[@robertgray1281]

Yes...i though Dick was a dick...very snide.

[@kdbadk]

In the history of awkward interviewing, only Letterman surpasses Dick Clark. What sets Letterman apart is his clear advantage in the forced humor category.

[@TopazShane]

The song would have been nice to hear too. Actually, when I first clicked on this, I was hoping to hear "Staying With It." I don't know what it is about that song, but it sits in my Top 5 songs of all time. Great music, great lyrics and superb production. Rick kicked around for a long time. Love "Christine's Tune" from when he was with The Flying Burrito Brothers - what a great name for a band.

[@rzrbckmz23]

Agreed. Love that song and probably my favorite Firefall song. Unfortunately it barely made the top 40. I think it was their last top 40 hit also but I'm not sure.

[@randyfarrar7049]

Andes also the Bassist for Heart in the 80’s. Busy guy.

[@Mooseboy08]

Also a founding member of Canned Heat, and a member of Spirit, and Jo Jo Gunne. Busy guy is definitely true!

[@Quantanthead]

Tris Imboden, drummer, a part of Chicago now for years.

[@79steelymatt]

Also Kenny Loggins saw him play with Michael McDonald years ago great drummer

[@davidhall1174]

And now bank with the Kenny Loggins band.

[@DunerecordsGent]

and in the early 80's he was part of a Aor band called "Thunder" ( the U.S band not the U.k ) who's second album "Headphone for Cows " was great but ( no suprise when you come up with a title like that ) sank like a stone and was found in the bargain bins....but a really great find.

[@Kirkvanhouten55]

Bassist Mark Andes played with Heart during the height of their 80s popularity. Rumor has it that he is still trying to get the Aquanet residue off of his scalp

[@joeolson9251]

also a member of Spirit as I recall..

[@scrapeyhawkins5299]

Was also a member of canned heat but left before they signed a record deal

[@rzrbckmz23]

Drummer is Tris Imboden who was with Chicago for most of the 80s until about 5 years ago. And he had a shaved head so it's funny to see him here with the receding hairline.

[@rggcon10]

All I remember about Lisa Nemzo is that she was a contestant on Star Search and lost (and this was a few years after this song).

[@zachhoran]

Jim Photoglo was on Star Search early in the run, and after he'd had two top 40 hits

[@zachhoran]

Jim Photoglo who recorded the hits We Were Meant to be Lovers and Fool in Love with You around this time also appeared on Star Search during the first season.

[@davidhall1174]

He toured with Dan Fogelberg for years.

[@austinteutsch]

Can Dick Clark be any more squirrelly? Shit. Get on with it!!

[@frank1720]

Great tune😂

[@tomdulle1707]

Wow. Tris Imbodewn, who would go on to replace Danny Seraphin on drums in Chicago-when he still had hair!

[@jrock2264]

Tris Imboden...was in Chicago for a bit, I believe....

[@JHBguru1]

David Muse is my wife's cousin!! Please pray for him as he is having health problems !!🙏🙏🙏

[@SuperDrJeckyl]

Is there a video of them singing the song on Bandstand?

@@NS1. Thanks so much!!! Very appreciated.

@@SuperDrJeckyl - You're welcome. Damn, I just realized you posted that 4 years ago, I bet you pretty much forgot all about it, lol.

[@SuperDrJeckyl]

@@NS1. I do recall, just didn't realize it was 4 years. But super thanks for posting this. I always hated there wasn't a video I knew of. She has such a wonderful, smoot voice on this song, and is pretty good looking, too.

[@cocarr1]

Where's the Bandstand video of the song?

[@bobdavis4848]

Uptight copyright folks prohibiting songs to be used here, same with other interview clips here.

Obvious here the influence the 'Pat Benatar look' was starting to have on some musicians. ;)

[@johnchandler271]

Seems to me Dick wanted Lisa to be the center of attention rather than Firefall, he was a smooth character.

[@josephambrose2852]

Wouldn't know these guys and gal if they fell on me 😂

[@toms6193]

Pollyester, spandix, they just don't wear it that way anymore ✌

[@derrickgreen9020]

I wonder what they sang…..

[@andyinoregon]

Rick Roberts is a better-looking version of David Crosby here.

[@michaelseay9783]

andyinoregon LOL my first thought!

[@jamesmaass8929]

Dick Clark was a legend , but one of the worst interviewers of all time. Awkward, cringe worthy, downright embarrassing , and get your hands off the woman singer. This stuff is almost impossible to watch

[@HubertofLiege]

[@ChosenWon]

Shut up

[@citygirl5705]

I don't understand Dick Clark's popularity. He's such an annoying dork.
