"White Punks on Dope" last track on side one of their first album The Tubes (1975). They were very creative. I loved being young in the 70's as it was a time of freedom and humans brave enough to explore and push boundary's . The singer is Fee Waybill. This is like an anthem for insanity.

[@nealamesbury1480]

Freedom. !

[@Drummingvulture]

Last track on side two, actually. Perfect ending to the album.

[@easyrolling]

love this band .. take us back to the 70's!!

[@donhadfield2835]

Great mix of theatre and rock... People forget how great the band is backing Fee

[@Deanrite]

Really, when the Tubes first got going, I saw them at Winterland in SF and the show had like 30 people playing and dancing on stage. All these skits and themes were so much more than we had ever seen. In truth is, they were doing MTV music videos live, before there was MTV. They were way way ahead of their time. Unfortunately, their biggest downfall was the staggering expense of putting shows on like that on a national or world tour. It came pretty close to bankrupting them. There is a video album, "The Completion Backwards Principle," which is outstanding and representative of their best stage shows.

[@dariffer8228]

Yep the Tubes at Winterland---some fun shows for sure!!

[@rickeyjohnson4701]

I was see them at the fox theater in San Diego when I was in the navy back then and a friend had an extra ticket they were awesome

[@martymar1964]

Tubes shows are the stuff of legends . I never got to see them ,but I heard the stories.

[@flibber123]

I think this is one of the high points of '70s rock. It has everything going on,. lyrics, musicianship, and great vocals. Plus, just look at them!

[@noheamike5036]

Keyboardist Vince Welnick later played with Todd Rundgren (who produced some later Tubes albums) and was the last keyboardist with the Grateful Dead before Jerry passed.

[@darrenangyal7190]

One of the greatest live recordings, true, incredible musicians

[@jordandentscheff393]

THEE Best showband ever. Every song had singers, dancers, costumes, and props. Very tight musically. Saw them several times in Cleveland in the 70's and 80's, and in Vegas in the 00's. Fantastic band! One of the most underrated bands ever.

[@John_Chu]

What Do You Want From Life & Don't Touch Me There are your next Tubes selections.

[@44ZiggyStardust]

I'm 65. Growing up in the seventies there was music everywhere. I've been to well over 1000 shows/concerts in my life, but I saw The Tubes on Pier 84 in NY back in "77-78 (it's kinda a blur these days) and it was by far one of the best shows I ever saw. Right up there with Bowie at The Tower in Philly, The Dead at Englishtown, and The Talking Heads at CBGB's and the "Big Suit Tour"

[@Pahdopony]

Up Next from The Tubes: What Do You Want From Life

[@edalisauskas7313]

Tubes had an outrageous stageshow back in the day very entertaining and musically talented

[@VaughnBrown1965]

I saw these guys in 83. all these crazy theatrics they did live. they changed costumes for almost every song. it was one amazing theatric performance plus crazy good live music. what an amazing band

[@waynecox3958]

Whereever did your favorite band go……..yes.

[@francoloc8238]

Saw them play in a bar in Tucson back in the early 70's - Was the most hilarious concert. Awesome music, great guitar, delivered with a ton of humor.

[@patches1589]

Fee Waybill in drag is classic! Loved The Tubes. Pure fun.

[@thomassblaquelourde4389]

The second drummer is Mingo Lewis drummer with Santana, they featured bands within the band this is the English rocker Quay Lude, others bits are punk band Johnny Bugger and the Dirtboxes

[@ronaldelliott4373]

Wow Chod, good on you for the deep dive of our youth. Never thought I’d hear a reactioner approach this one.🔥🤘😎

[@duncansolloway2497]

so glad you went with the old grey whistle test version- so good! also check out SHE S A BEAUTY and TALK TO YA LATER

[@Alewifes_Husband]

She's A Beauty! That's the one that got them a bunch of radio play, and I couldn't for the life of me remember the name of the song. Talk To Ya Later also -- were they on the same album? My bad memory tells me that those two songs were right around the same time.

[@NoCanDu]

Cho’s: they even do funk! Try “Tip Of My Tongue!”

[@carlosmacmartin4205]

Glad to see a Millennial appreciate an under rated Rock band. Bill Spooner (the guitarist with the Flying V) is one of the co-founders of The Tubes.

[@garyspeed8961]

Best live band ever.. first 4 albums all prime candidates for rock operas

[@OGBobNoxious]

I’ve seen these guys live twice, and both shows were amazing - theatrical, raunchy, and very funny. They also happen to be a very tight band.

[@bobguilda6884]

I saw them at least two times as well and their stage show was batshit crazy and highly entertaining and their music is in fact very tight

[@bryandouple5595]

One great, more mainstream tune is "Amnesia". Great vocals & arrangement, sort of a love song. Then you go to "Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman" and you will see their diversity! Great stuff, keep it up!

[@roundtownKen]

I agree completely. Extreme musicianship and creativity here. So many great songs.

[@kellydelay18]

Wha do you want from life is a must do

[@joea7293]

The Tubes, wow had that LP back in 76' interesting group. Great reaction and post thank you for the memories. Stay safe and much love.

[@lediabolique5822]

Definitely react to more Tubes. Great band, top level musicianship and songwriting.

[@48mastadon]

All of us white punks from back in the day lived this song. I'm going to take some bong hits for nostalgia and watch the video.

[@thelowe6393]

I've been to literally over 400 concerts in my life and saw the Tubes for the first time in 1980 during their "Prime Time" tour and I rank it as the second best concert/show I've ever seen. Fee Waybill is one of the best, yet under-appreciated frontmen in rock and the rest of the band are all incredible musicians. They poke fun at everything from teen-age sex & drugs (WPOD, Don't Touch Me There) to television (TV is King) to wealth/money/materialism(Young & Rich) to 50's campy movies (Attack of the 50 Foot Woman). Truly a freaking awesome band. Oh, number 1 was Pink Floyd's "The Wall" also in 1980. Dig deeper, Chod! You'll dig it!

[@nealamesbury1480]

I love unexpected greatest shows. For me,# 2 of all my shows was ramones,Pomona amphitheater. !

[@asteverino8569]

Wow! Hearing The Tubes White Punks like 50 years later. J**us! And seeing your reaction and commentary. I was a teenager with a variety of "dope" around. The Tubes commentaries on modern life at the time were great. Such talent and creative art.

[@Alewifes_Husband]

Yeah the Tubes are one of those bands that should have been much Bigger. They sure were fun live and they never took themselves so seriously that they couldn't engage in antics like this! I think they were active from the mid 70s into the 80s.

[@DFitz-bk7dj]

The Tubes Always Bring it Live!!! Such an Amazing Band! Very underrated !!! All of their Live stuff Is Outstanding....

[@scottgelb2650]

For anyone who partied in the 70s/80s,, or anyone else who's just curious, check out "Nina Hagen Band - TV-Glotzer (Ich glotz TV)(Tubes) (live 1978)"

[@a.k.1740]

The cover by the Nina Hagen Band is as great as the original version by The Tubes !

[@annegeoffgullon8072]

The version behind this video is from the Tubes' album "What do you want from live," recorded at The Hammersmith Odeon. I'm happy to say that I was in the audience - a thoroughly jaw-dropping show, incuding a punk version of "I saw her standing there" complete with real live chainsaw!

[@salsonny]

PRobably one of the most entertaining concerts I've been to. The Q guitar stands for Quailude

[@bobcarn]

I've seen quite a few Tubes concerts over the years. All of the songs in concert were like that. Costumes, dancing, giant props, background dancers... every song was a show. They were one of our favorite concert bands.

[@CWargh63]

A theatrical 70's song that hardly anyone remembers? Paul Williams - The Hell Of It, from The Phantom Of The Paradise soundtrack. Yes, the same Paul Williams mentioned in The Tubes' song What Do You Want From Life.

[@begrackled]

This was also a band based out of San Francisco not so subtly dumping on the LA scene, which makes Motley Crue covering this song kind of hilarious. "Yep, you got us."

[@djewjazz]

Oliva Newton-John with The Tubes DANCIN'

[@Itelkner]

This is the great version from the Tubes live album.

[@ivansavoie3190]

One of the best concerts I've seen, great theatrics, Quay lude was was his character name for this song

[@BV-nx6vq]

Thanks - one of my faves...nice musicianship here as well...

[@waynegray1380]

One of the best live concerts I ever saw was a twin bill, The Tubes and Utopia!

[@bobschenkel7921]

The guy on the keys with the long hair is Vince Welnick. He wound up playing with the Grateful Dead from 1990-1995. He then did the bummer and killed himself. Who knows why. The Tubes were a crazy, crazy band. You might also like their song "What Do You Want From Life?". It ends with the line "Or a baby's arm holding an apple." The lead singer is named Fee Waybill.

[@Escapee5931]

Managed to see this band on their UK tour about 5 years ago. Lead singer Fee Waybill was still donning those insane platforms for this song. Most of their songs were a spoof of something. This one was a take on the excesses of a glam rock star, "Quay Lude" complaining about his privileged upbringing.

[@palacerevolution2000]

Like what you said about smooth transitions. Anybody can pull of a transition of sorts, if they rehearse it long enough. But if the writing isn't elegant, and support the reason for that transition it will only be clumsy.

[@alexcampbell3032]

That smile on your face throughout the performance says it all! You get the Tubes!

[@juangill8086]

The tubes album live .piece of art.im fron Portugal..the tubes whas very popular in portugal in the 80.begining 80 the do concert in Lisbon after in midle 90 they came again too Lisbon .great concert..

[@macjam9090]

The great Tubes. Bought this first time around as well as many other of their singles and albums. Even bought a new compilation three months ago. Great diversity-rock, soul, Jazz, Ballads, Theatrics... ahead of their time. The singer was Fee Waybill

[@zedcar7326]

I couldn't agree with you more that many great songs are hidden on B sides or didn't see airplay for whatever reason, but are hidden gems. As for more Tubes I would suggest "Haloes", "What do you want from life" and "Mondo Bondage". I would also love to see you react to more Thin Lizzy particularly "Johnny the Fox meats Jimmy the Weed", a funky as hell song..

[@Roddy1965]

Now you talkin'. Also, German performer Nina Hagen did a great cover of this in German.

[@davidhumiston6500]

This band was very popular at Northern Arizona University in the sixties and seventies my uncle used to tell me about their shows I finally got to see them perform in the late '70s they kicked ass... Now check out ONE IN A MILLION and TALK TO YOU LATER..

[@gelsol]

The first two albums are amazing.

[@SuperWorstEver]

Fee is awesome!!! Love the Tubes!!!

[@EvanWeber1234]

The greatest thing ever!

[@brianjones8751]

Saw The Tubes in Fresno, 1977

[@blitztim6416]

Got to see them once. Way back when. Quite a show. I would recommend ‘What do you want from life?’ next. He used to dress up as a character named Quaa Lude for this song. That’s him in the big blonde wig in the video.

[@MurkuryMagick]

Vince Welnick the keyboardist was also the keyboardist for the grateful dead from 1990-1995

[@kenhoyer8601]

local San Francisco band from the 70s and 80s. Started play at the clubs.

[@floorticket]

Saw them twice in the 80s, and then Vince Welnick joined the Grateful Dead and I saw him another fifty times.

[@stevenappleman]

Takes me back to my senior year in high school.

[@davidhumiston6500]

The group 38 special has two drummers in their band on most of their songs

[@darrellhickey1990]

Luv the Tubes

[@jgreber1790]

The Tubes were EPIC!!!

[@thunderspike1892]

Nina Hagen did a cover in German called TV Glotzer. Tubes - What Do You Want From Life are a great song

[@MrMondo-xf2ji]

I've got to pipe in with recommendations for "Sushi Girl", "Only The Strong Survive" & "I'm Just A Mess".

[@sukie584]

Quay Lewd 🎶

[@ralpholson7616]

They are so much fun to see live.

[@KennethSavage-nn2vv]

The great Prairie Prince on drums

[@screwyootube1]

I was a Punk before You Were a Punk is another cool one from The Tubes!

[@allengator1914]

You have to hear their song "Don't Touch Me There"

[@kianpa1]

True story!

[@vinceaaron8921]

seen them when they opened for bowie and they sure got the crowd going with their energy.

[@GooseOD]

Audio is from the live album, 1978. Vince Welnick on keys, Mike Cotten on synth. Drummers are Prairie Prince and Mingo Lewis.

[@julieb.5860]

yes it was an anthem for some of us silly teenagers in the 70s....

[@brianjomansenstinesmith5132]

Quaay. underrated guitar player!

[@roundtownKen]

More Tubes please Chod. Anything from Completion Backwards Principle or Inside looking Outside albums. Agree with another poster "Amnesia" is a KZbin friendly track and is much more interesting musically than White Punks. Closer to something like Steely Dan. The old story goes that one of the roadies for the Tubes said he could sing much better that their lead singer (way back when). He auditioned and blew them away. He got the job. It was Fee Waybill.

[@greendoor49]

TUBES:: "Don't Touch Me There"

[@Itelkner]

The great Vince Welnick on keys.

[@kevinlundgren1169]

The Tubes do play a wide range of music ,, probably too wide . That could be why they didn't get as famous as what they should have !!

[@rickeyjohnson4701]

They are awesome to see in concert you should check out what do you want from life

[@michaelrue1400]

They performed in Xanadu, but this looks more like Rocky Horror.

[@edb6690]

You can see where Dee Snyder got his makeup idea from!

[@kathieovercash8414]

They have a song called Don't Touch Me There.

[@tedpetry2028]

I saw them in concert

[@dougthePogingguitarist]

can you do a reaction to St. Anthony by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band

[@tedpetry2028]

They were on the movie Xanadu

[@douglasg.9271]

One of my top 5 albums is “remote control” by the tubes.

[@julieb.5860]

try 'don't touch me there' by the tubes. hilarious send up of the sanitized songs from the late 50s and earlyn 60s

[@bobguilda6884]

I have been a tubes album since this their first album. Let me assure you this was their big hit on their first album. If you want to see something really crazy find their live shows holy shit

[@bobguilda6884]

Sorry I meant a tubes fan since their first album

[@antidote7]

Check out deeper cuts like Wild Women of Wongo, What do you want from life, Whiz Quiz, Space Baby, etc... some good videos on youtube..

[@brokervc1]

Good you like off music Zappa's" Carolina hard core ecstasy or joe's garage"

[@davidbentley145]

Those platform shoes aren't tall enough and that guitar isn't big enough!Ha,ha,ha

[@diogenesagogo]

Interesting that they formed 6 months before SAHB & a year before Kiss. I wonder how much they influenced those 2 bands? My personal preference is for SAHB, but that's because they appeal to my Brit love of humour & satire mixed with extreme menace.

[@myd0gr3x]

there are no more live stage shows like the Tubes, KISS, Alice Cooper, STYX, ANGEL... good-by 70's and 80's the stadium general admission is gone forever...

[@tomscott4438]

Check out "Brother Brother, Don't Slow Down".

[@nealamesbury1480]

I love fee waybill ‘ voice.- enjoying the guitar,as well. ! This could be the transition song ,from 70’s party scene ,to 80 s- just a thought. Hold it in …to damn this shit smells like cat piss !

[@12floz67]

WPOD🍻

[@markuskoenig]

check "king charmelange" by "steely dan".. if you haven't yet

[@jeffsands7119]

Like I said earlier teliside of remote control

[@bluesmike1]

Check out "What do you want from Life"

[@tonydelapa1911]

Sadly, I owned this album. I did enjoy your take on it though, Chod.
