[@Audiogeek-kf2ez]

She always said she was not a trained vocalist. But what a voice. Sexy, flawed , and outright beautiful

[@erlonger]

The way her voice breaks on some of those words/notes. So real. So authentic.

[@williamwallace5857]

So average singer.

[@ricomajestic]

@@williamwallace5857 Well she is playing the sax and singing also. In both you have to have supreme control of your breath...it is tough to do especially live. If she had been playing guitar instead it would've been easier to sing and play.

[@FewNewReasonss]

​@William Wallace Average? She's pretty darn clean and clear. She's above average at least, playing the instrument and sounding so good.

[@79blackbelt]

Above average.

[@luissantos3817]

Way above average. This lady can sing

[@randydemaris5717]

I mean... nothing today sounds anything like this. Rindy Ross is incredible!!! What raw talent!!!

[@DropdudeJohn]

There are moments of brilliance that will last forever and look and sound as fresh as the day they were made and this is one of them

[@blakegregory969]

Bring it back...

[@TheIrishrogue68]

So true.. didn’t really appreciate this song at the time it was released...forty years later it sounds as fresh and relevant as ever.

[@wiegajc]

Word!!

[@scoobycrush9231]

I love her voice. The passion she shows with her singing is awesome.

[@ShanFerguson]

Damn I miss the 80's sometimes great music and gorgeous red heads that sing and play a mean sax, Rindy Ross was smokin hot

[@arthur006]

she goes from playing sax to singing to sax, wow very impressive!

[@TheArtofGuitar]

I didn't know she played the sax part too. Awesome!!

[@rclc161]

Portland OR

[@packerz3796]

That's the first thing I said to myself. Pretty damn Kool

[@chadharmon7563]

Wow she is truly a talented vocalist and hits every single damn note!! And plays the sax???!!!!!! Phenomenal band

[@mikeyoungblood1642]

Gotta have elite level lung capacity to play sax then sing, then sax and back to sing…90% of saxophone players aren’t also singing lead in the song

[@mdv1236]

What a great song I miss this type of music so much. 1978 to 1984 what a time for great music

[@daffidavit]

So many great albums during that period. Far too many to list. The Police, Michael Jackson, Bon Jovi, Eddie Money, Pat Benatar, Heart, I can't even remember one-tenth of them without a computer.

[@mdv1236]

@@daffidavit countless classics

[@MarkTurner-vs7uc]

Incredible time. I wouldn't trade it for anything. Especially today. Our country is gone. Everything good and beautiful is gone.

[@samsig1]

Wow a real woman .words don't convey my appreciation of this woman's and this bands talent ..fucking awesome.

[@Jetfire-kk1ti]

The way the guitarist hits it HARD after the a capella part is so cool. It's like the guitar is reflecting the singer's hardened heart.

[@JustMe-uu3bh]

no special effects, nothing just GREAT music that tears at your heart, this song. love this time of my life, we had it so good...........at least we had it, so we can recreate it anytime we want by coming back here and listening to it. I am so glad we had this. God bless everyone........

[@ukrainiansniper5916]

The 80s had some kick ass music.....

[@pannihto7588]

Слава Україні і попсі 80-х 😂

[@HardRockMaster7577]

See Kate Bush

[@rubenbustamante1828]

She has a beautiful voice ❤

[@ronrubicon1593]

You know how incredibly difficult it is to play that sax part with the enthusiasm it requires, then immediately sing the song with the enthusiasm it requires while also staying in key? Then go back to playing the sax with the same effort? A Herculean task.

[@JacobDavidCCunningham]

Damn she plays the sax then goes into singing... some pipes she has damn.

[@newborn986]

Sexy as hell too.

[@malikaihoon7337]

Seen tons of people do that. Nothing rare.

[@winstonli8081]

Play Alto. The Sax actually makes singing easier

[@brewaskew]

Oh yes. I know

[@malikaihoon7337]

Joe Casson joe get a freaking life. Stupid libs, just cause we dont agree with you, we’re trolls. Don’t like my opinion, move the fuk on.

[@livemusic8248]

Back when if you wanted to make a living in music had to have the following.... Able to sing Able to play Able to perform Today's acts just dance, their ability to play is limited, very few acts have following except as teen or 20's then fade away only handful at most can sing and perform.

[@johnx5891]

Please add "NO AUTOTUNE"

[@HardRockMaster7577]

All echoplex and lights and dancers. But the common folk eat it up !!!

[@MrWahooknows]

Such a wonderful voice - up and down and back up again on the scales.

[@Streeknine]

Now that's a concert I wish I could have been at. Such a good sounding band and Rindy is such an amazing singer.

[@peternewman1179]

Rindy was and is still irresistible!! 👍😊

[@sstreetguy]

Once upon time ago were real musicians and singers! Missed then… ❤❤

[@jacksonmarshallkramer5087]

When this song first came out it was HUGE. Every time the radio came on it was playing. Loved it.

[@markgriffin5889]

Ohio University Class, of '85 thanks you!

[@ZURPER_77]

Quarterflash is from Ohio?

[@garytamme]

I love the passion in her voice Live music at its best

[@romeo82587]

What your mean was.. She died ???

[@joshuawright8990]

@@ingodwetrustdellaware-inc8322 According to Google, she is still alive. She’s 70 years old. Born in 1951.

[@paulrichard10]

Great band. A classic from the era. Rindy Ross is terrific. Good lead/guitar tone.

[@modgiemodge261]

A song for the ages.Congrats to all who made this-excellent

[@metalerowilliamxxx]

A beautiful voice of my past, the 80's. In 1982 i was 12.

[@WineSippingCowboy]

1 of the great sax solos in the 1980s. Quarterflash should have been bigger. Only 2 members, wife and hubby, are left. They can still play! 👩‍🎤🎸

[@Caltops78]

That sax solo is the definition of 80’s music. I just discovered this live version. Love her passion! I think I almost prefer this to the studio recording

[@derekwatson1118]

You'd really say this is better than Clarence Clemmons? Get f-ing real

[@mikeyoungblood1642]

They had 3 Top 10 hits

[@raymundoalfredoislasaguila6613]

BRAVO, BRAVO GOOD JOB, EXCELENT THANKS FOR SHARING

Love the drumming.

And the drummer’s perm!

I couldn't help but zone out on his hair bouncing around.

[@brokl26]

The 80s spoiled us…Proof Saw them open for Rick Springfield. Great concert even though our seats sucked.

[@robertthomas5736]

Rindy Ross,of The Incredible Band Named Quarterflash

[@douglasdixon524]

I guess they figured Seafood Mama wouldn't work outside of Portland. I do love Quarterflash though.

[@isaiahmarquez9717]

Great song. Great sax. I’ve always loved the way the distortion kicks in at 4:15. 🤙🏼

[@tagmstr02]

That sound is unreal. Both the singing and the sax.

[@Arturo-sm1tb]

That is some true talent up on stage. My god, they were so underrated, perhaps if they had worked with some great songwriters they would be higher up on the scale of the 80s musical scene.

[@brianallancobb]

Sure like that French sailor's blouse Mrs. Ross has on.

[@gardengirl7446]

And the gaucho pants!

Une voix qui met en scène les amours d'un saxophone 🎷 et d'une guitare 🎸, inoubliable titre qui n a pas vieilli !!!!

Very talented on the sax and great voice..today they can't play instruments.long live the 80 s

[@frankbreuer8849]

Your joke really sax.

Omg!! Why can't the music today 2121 be like this, that's real music, come on ppl ..get with it!!

One of the finest sax players ever...one of the finest groups ever....so underated!!! Love Rindy and Marv!

hands-down, a Classic rocker . No matter who you were, if you were hearing this song, you were tapping toes, or up, & dancing ! Rindy Ross !! --------------------------MJL< 76 y/o

[@HardRockMaster7577]

It's so 80's.... I LOVE It !!

[@johnpochinski727]

This is amazing and that it is captured for eternity

[@BasementBerean]

I grew up in the Greenwood district in north Seattle. The "G Note" tavern was next to the Lucky supermarket (now Fred Meyers) where I used to shop. I remember seeing the sign out front saying "Seafood Mama" was going to be there. I laughed to myself and wondered what kind of crazy band that was. Later I found out. D'oh! (I also think this is the best live performance of this song I've seen. WOW.)

[@samsonn25]

Excellent

[@neilouellette3004]

Perfect song if you have ever been stood up on a date.

[@kiekie1965]

Damn this is awesome

[@michaellazzeri2069]

In '83 /'84, I saw them 2 times, with Rick Springfield. Both times, they stole the show ! Fantastic live band. Rindy Ross, & husband Marv. -----------------MJL, 76 y/o today.

[@amoh5]

Such a great musical formulation!!! I never get sick of listening to it, Rindy has such a beautiful voice along with the backup vocals, drums, bass, rock guitar etc etc etc, you kind of hope that bands can continue coming up with dynamic music formulations, but they often tell you that the song didn't arise deliberately, it just came at a random moment in time, wow!!! I call it divine intervention 🤔

[@juliogavilanchoque4029]

Linda y hermoza rindy ....enamorado de tu musica.....

[@72skytop]

I always loved that extra guitar lick that comes in about 2:47 when they play this live. Why the radio and recorded version did not have this, I'll never understand. I could listen to this song over and over forever. The harmony when they sing is incredible. 80's and 90's forever.

[@dogbarbill]

It's not unusual for artists/bands to lengthen a live version of one of their popular tunes, especially when it's the finale or encore.

[@ingodwetrustdellaware-inc8322]

Me too

[@daffidavit]

He should have done what Lindsey Buckingham did in the famous comeback concert of Fleetwood Mac. He should have made a 3-5-minute guitar solo improvising as far as he could during that time. He only went about 30 seconds. Imagine what a 5-minute guitar solo would have done for that live telecast?

[@extremeconcepts1]

Rindy rocks this song!

I liked the song , but very much impressed to Rindy Ross with Saxophone !

[@RideWithTheWolf]

The hat they threw on stage worked perfectly. Super great song, just wish they had more hits. I don't remember hearing about them playing anywhere back then. Maybe I was just into different stuff.
