Wish we still had bands like this today. Thankfully JC & the BBB are still touring. Better enjoy it now kiddos.. they ain't getting any younger!

[@pjneslo8979]

John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band was born 49 years ago in a little state called Rhode Island. Like the band, I too was born 49 years ago in 1972 in that small state of Rhode Island. We share two distinct moments, forever etched in history! Thank you, JC & The Boys for the decades of memories also etched in my memory, forever!

Oh man, those were the days, back when music was worth listening. That Cobra song at the beginning really took me back.

[@davidwise4442]

The greatest rock and roll voice of all time

[@kiltmanm60]

The REAL DEAL Rock n Roll Band! Love those guys!

[@danielmills1092]

This performance really showed how much more talent than most BIG BAND sounds with SAX, truly had. Such humbleness. Loooove this, 4-Life!

[@scottmurray5409]

First concert I saw at Six Flags Over Georgia in 1984! Still listening all these years later!

[@skruloos1]

I remember this..they were imo the best band that night..

[@joealvarez2132]

I love this band till this day ! ! !

[@tooltime5661]

Epic band, so talented. I have seen these guys at the famous casino by the sea on Cape Cod, what a pleasure it was.

[@saffronwetter7944]

Who can forget John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band? Not even in this Pandemic 😕 2021 My favorite song is the dark side. 'I like them when their rocking!

[@davidwalsh7128]

A great live band. They always put on a show, worth what ever the tickets or cover charge happened to be!!!! A Rhode Island treasure.

[@geerterri]

In 2012 they were inducted into the Rhode Island Music Hall Of Fame.

[@theTommyWaters_]

Wow. This brings back the memories. Thanks for uploading

[@rolandedrummer9723]

You can tell they've played together a lot. Some years before this. It's tight.

[@houstonsheltonbees814]

Thanks John 👍 the sounds of my youth. JCBBB one hell of a band 👍 Thanks 👍

[@romeovoid56]

Its a miracle this music is magic makes me cry makes me smile

[@guillermoperezgerman]

What a great live sound. True band sound.

[@patrickreeves4650]

Epic performance! This is a great band, that writes great songs. Tunes is an amazing musician!

[@crashcarney100]

Thank You! You gave us classic movies and the soundtrack for ages! Without JC & Beaver Brown Band, we may have missed out on a fantabulous storyline and musicianship with Eddie & The Cruisers. Glad you did it! 😎

[@Idontwanttopickahandletoday]

Welcome glad to share some old stuff.

[@scottrichards3246]

Great Band and singer... Sax sound/player is awesome, and their music is memorable... Love them

[@MichaelCaliri]

They played at my Senior Prom 1974 Cranston West R.I.

[@Cammackaveli]

Amazing!!!

[@eagleforever6495]

The 80s gone but never forgotten.

[@donaldwilson7391]

What a band, awesome talent

[@JohnnyPringles86]

RIP Pat Lupo and Bobby Cotoia

[@knightowl7457]

Bobby had a lot lately f complications I believe. Live close to Princeton Univ. & went to see them there. They didnt come out for 45 minutes because he was in so much pain

[@RobertLongM]

Saw them each year! Greatest ever. Wish band played the lead in Eddie and the Cruisers

[@bigtommy9715]

Love love Michael as Eddie but back then John actually looked very similar he coulda done it

[@denisehedden5108]

🖤🥀Excellent People! John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band yes I love you Guy's so much. Plus I don't understand why you Guy's wasn't on the cover of the album & yes I still have mine. I love all of your song's. 🥀✌🥀☝️🥀

[@johngross4920]

And that kids is what we call rock n roll

[@RaynaRomano]

I love John Cafferty

[@mannydecastro8604]

Seen them many times. Sang with them once. . We shared the Asbury Park sound

[@Patti-e4s]

Great. Voice my best. Friend plays guitar just. As. Good😅😅😅

[@williamlane3145]

BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE, THANK YOU! VICKI 🦋

[@w.rustylane5650]

Michael Antunes doesn't get enough credit for his great sax abilities. He's the best sax player I've ever heard in rock 'n roll.

[@tdrewke]

Thirty seven years ago and it's still a great tune. Michael Pare did a great job lip synching in the movie, but this is the real deal.

[@jessewickens1159]

This guitar player shreds

[@zrriff2792]

I love Eddie And The Cruisers

[@farmertrip]

one of THE BEST!

[@michaelthune2603]

Great just f’n great. Great band

[@michaelcope190]

They played this song at the end of cobra, Stallone loved John cafferty.

[@digi3e]

Awesome!

[@BRUTUSPLAC]

THANK YOU MARTIN !!!!

[@MuayThaiBeatdown]

“Tunes” Antunes, very good sax!

[@Buckeye7Gaming]

It’s interesting how Eddie and the cruisers is basically a movie based around these guys. Fantastic band that couldn’t get a big record deal cause they said they was too much like Bruce Springsteen and his band. But both bands are very different

[@nickmartinez2252]

Soundtrack guys came to Bruce n Landau his manager asking for them to do the Soundtrack of course Springsteen said no they wanted a sound similar to Darkness Springsteen's 4th album he was already working on 1980's masterpiece The River with the E Street Band. Tired of the "ESB Sound" popping up on Meatloaf records and other Heartland Rock bands he referred them to his friend n a "great lil band outta Rhode Island " lol that's how they basically got the gig for 83's Cruiser Soundtrack. JC is still grateful. Both alumni of NJ's historic Stone Pony n Jersey Shore Bar Circuit.

The 80s..where bands care more in their music more than their appearance..

[@jedsteelwell2354]

Did you miss the 80s? There was a whole movement of bands that image mattered more than the music

[@stevewalls6918]

This is Rock!

[@RoasterRoaster]

😍😍😍

[@Ghop7577]

You can tell he was a fan of Springsteen

[@davidwalsh7128]

They were friends and supporters of each others music--still are.

[@mozfonky]

sure, but the songs were still great.

[@flashy5150]

The Brown Beaver Band😆🤣😂

[@joealvarez2132]

How can I be a fan in follow Facebook Instagram KZbin I don't care I love this band always have and always will

[@kindnessfirst9670]

Springsteen tribute band- not that there's anything wrong with that.

[@simonapaza9701]

👏👏👏

[@frausisu7465]

Does anyone know if they did a song called "Better days are comin " or who did?

[@austinjohnson3452]

Such an underrated group, love their songs even more due to Eddie and the Cruisers

[@romeovoid56]

Better than the boss

[@mauricepowers8079]

You have obviously never seen "The Boss" LIVE...I have seen both...and on the same stage back in 79' at Toad's in New Haven and then The Boss live in 81' and 82'...apples and oranges. Cafferty was doing a LOT of Springsteen covers back in the late 70's...Cafferty is Cafferty and Bruce is Bruce...East Coast R&B is the common thread. Each are unique...but to say Cafferty is better than the Boss...no...can't compare the two.

[@Daria_Morgandorfer.]

Wait Mtv actually once played music?

[@woodykelleher9253]

Eddie!! Eddie!!

[@alejandrodonosoparraguez9745]

Marion Cobretti

[@jedsteelwell2354]

So these guys are Eddie and the cruisers

[@bretbamforth32]

Awesome!
