I still say it in 2024.... Spring Session M is one of the greatest albums ever recorded of ANY genre of music. Too bad New Wave was a passing fad BUT these guys were enormously talented. Terry Bozzio is just a BEAST on the skins!!!!

[@bikerider5296]

As a drummer at the time I'll never forget how blown away I was when I first heard US Drag. Terry Bozzio was a beast. And I just have to say former Hustler pinup Dale Bozzio was Lady Gaga before Lady Gaga was Lady Gaga.

Terry is an amazing drummer, Warren went on to Duran Duran, Patrick a great solo artist...and Missing Persons still going in 2024...fantastic

[@BradYaeger]

A lot of the "New Wave" bands of this era were dismissed as all flash and image , but a lot of them were super solid with great songs . The Fixx, Oingo Boingo , INXS, Devo , Berlin , so many great bands that have songs that hold up great .

[@j.c.9784]

Those were all fantastic bands!

[@j.c.9784]

My first concert ever was INXS when they were touring for "The Swing".. Aragon Ballroom Chicago.. We went up close by the stage at first and could've been right there.. But we chose to go to the back and dance cuz there was not enough room to dance. In the front by the stage.

[@j.c.9784]

And I must say.. Oingo Boingo was terribly under rated.. Great band. The Fixx.. everyone knew what time that was.. they were amazing

[@davewestner]

Dang, these guys were a really solid band. Keep coming back to watch this. Friggin Terry Bozzio is a monster.

100%. The average radio listener doesn't appreciate this, but Chad Smith knows, Dave Grohl knows, Mike Portnoy knows, Neil Peart knew. I bet that's all that matters to Terry.

⁠​⁠@@willmchale3001speaking of Neil Peart, I vote Dale should be the new drummer for Rush.

[@willmchale3001]

@@terrorbulyfe He and Alex are 70 yo, but listening to Geddy makes me think they're not done - didn't get closure they way they wanted. In the moment, they were not happy with how it ended. Now of course they feel a degree of shame because they didn't fully grasp how bad Neil was physically and emotionally. Maybe not a world tour, but a dozen dates in North America doesn't seem crazy to me. Who would they take? I know they're friends with Chad Smith and Dave Grohl, but they couldn't do Neil justice if we're being honest. Plenty of other drummers could pull if off, including Terry. Would depend on whether they wanted to be out there with a true friend and fan of Ruch, or if they were making sure they had a technical wizard back there who would pull off every one of Neil's compositions with accuracy - for Neil and for those fans that would appreciate it. Fingers crossed it happens, and I don't care if there's a wind-up monkey behind the kit if I get to see them live again...

[@RedBaronlives]

I was there. Props to such amazing performers. No backing tracks, no lip syncing, real musicians, playing their set... Rock on Missing Persons

[@jodyroberts1008]

Shouldn't it be a given, there "should" not be any "lip syncing". That should not be something to worry about, but being you brought it up, makes me wonder if they actually did lip sync. Hmmmm.... something to ponder.

What a solid band these guys were! I was 19 at the time of this. With the typical knuckleheadedness of a metalhead my age, who wouldn't allow himself to enjoy anything non-metal, I didn't appreciate these guys & other groups 'til much later. By that time New Wave was history & the 80s were almost up. I will forever regret not being able to make this concert festival.

This band was so ahead of it's time and of course the drumming is legendary.

[@JoseMTamez]

@planejane - I absolutely agree with you on that. Everything is just so original, refreshing, and new. Nobody was ready for this and sadly, most of those in the audience had no clue as to who the drummer really was. At this point in his illustrious career, he was already a legendary drummer who played with Zappa.

@@0clockedin0 He was also in the Knack though only lasted a few dates. Apparently the amenities associated with being in a band that had fallen off the radar weren't up to his standards. He has a very high image of self and is very particular, which is probably why his career went nowhere after the Jeff Beck gig, where he truly had the opportunity to be a star. Sadly, that band, great as it was, couldn't get enough work to make it viable aside from a tour to promote the 'Guitar Shop' album, then a call from Santana, who offered a tour support gig.

Or if the original tapes of this iconic concert still exist they can sync all the cameras with today's technology ( in other words this is not a hard task ) Every camera video tape restored in 4 or 8K or whatever K exists I don't know 5 billion K there will be a way to make your own edit fun thing with choosing camera 1 or camera 10 or camera 4 and just click with a mouse or a finger or some kind of apparatus of some sort and also make well I'm not sure was this recorded in 24 track analog or does only a 2 track stereo I'm guessing one or the other BOTH ?? .... And you can make your own mix of visual and audio ... Like watching Dale the whole time OR WATCHING TERRY BOZZIO CAMERA FOR THE WHOLE SHOW ... NOW WOULDN'T THAT BE WONDERFUL ... NOW MOVING ONTO TONY WILLIAMS LIFETIME VIDEO in 1969 or 1970 .............. UH ...........................

THIS WAS NOT THIS TOUR BUT A WHOLE DIFFERENT TOUR WITH A NEW ALBUM A YEAR AFTER THIS CONCERT WAS PERFORMED. Rhyme and Reason tour 1984 where Terry's outrageous electric kit kept breaking down like a lot of times... To see this kit he used ( it was only used in 1984 and then probably put into a recycle bin after the tour ended ) Simply tyoe in Missing Persons 1984 and it will be there.

"Destination Unknown" has been my alarm clock wake-up tune for a long time, but the music and the lyrics have gained even more significance in my life due to the catastrophic, disruptive and life-changing events of the past few years following the international Covid coup d'etat. I just can't seem to find a more appropriate replacement for it (--other than "No Way Out", I suppose, but that's not what I want to wake up to! It's more appropriate for driving to work!) I still love waking to the soft feminine rasp of lovely quirky Dale's voice.

95% of the keyboard based bands of that time were just computer sequenced drums,keys,bass synth with vocals and misc keys and guitars laid over,but what I recognized when missing persons came out was this was not sequenced music (think berlin etc) as a keyboardist and guitarist at the time mainly playing top 40 rock ie genesis,toto,loverboy I was blown away but MP’s original sound and complicated songs. Later I found the bozio’s worked with zappa and I knew they were geniuses.

Awesome. I've never seen the entire show before. THANK YOU!!! Funny, I always thought of Dale and Terry as older siblings. When I heard that Dale was a sex symbol I was like "what???" Still see them that way today.

There will never be music like this again.
