The Bangles Hazy Shade Of Winter Xmas Special 1987

[@MrVortexRider]

The "Walk Like an Egyptian" chicks went full on Metal on this one. Probably their best song they ever did, Still holds up.

[@Urbanhuskies]

Ya it's a brilliant cover

[@ZooomaCW]

Not metal. And of course it "holds up" great music is great when it's released, its great a year later, it keeps on being great 5 years later, and STILL GREAT 50 years later. Great music is timeless.

[@MaskedMan66]

@@ZooomaCW That riff Vicki plays is metal, even if the rest of the song isn't.

[@lanalane6838]

I like how Micki played the bass here! And the perfect moment is when the camera focused on her beautiful face!

[@TWHISPERER]

Love Vicki, not only was she good looking, but she was the most rocking of The Bangle girls. Love the way she looked in this video and the Walk Like and Egyptian video. She gave this group energy during performances...

[@TheInnerParty]

Agreed! 💯

Totally Agree! But all are fantastic!

This is one of the best covers 👏👏

[@carlosgarcia-jz3dq]

S&G and the bangles did their own version really, both are awesome, Bangles murdered the heavier rock style, just a fantastic job. Great work ladies.

Love you Micki! I hope you are ok and enjoying your life. We miss you! Always take care. You're still the Queen of bass and the most beautiful among women in this world!

[@AgentM79]

I love that they actually played and sang over the track on this performance. These four were unstoppable.

[@socretesturtelli4577]

Their voices in sync. Love that

[@danielfronc4304]

The song is recorded but you can acatually hear the girls sing over their recorded studio vocals. Makes for a kick-ass and unique sound.

[@derlinclair4867]

God bless dear Micki.I really hope,and pray that Godwilling she had a very Happy, and hopefully a very Healthy Christmas as well.Micki truly deserves it , friends.ALL my love, and God, s Blessings & Protection, my sweet Micki.

THIS WAS APPARENTLY the "Christmas Special" for the relatively short-lived "Top of the Pops (America)" series -, which premiered on CBS on Sept. 25, 1987 and ran for 26 episodes. Those episodes combined video from the half-hour U.K. version of the show, hosted by Gary Davies, with an additional half-hour recorded from the Roxy nightclub in Los Angeles, hosted by Nia Peeples (whom we see introducing this segment).

[@viiviwagner3240]

I love the Bangles, all four of them

[@laurylienorman8822]

"Hazy Shade Of Winter" (originally by Simon & Garfunkel) Time, time, time, see what's become of me While I looked around For my possibilities I was so hard to please But look around, leaves are brown And the sky is a hazy shade of winter Hear the salvation army band Down by the riverside, it's bound to be a better ride Than what you've got planned Carry your cup in your hand And look around, leaves are brown now And the sky is a hazy shade of winter Hang on to your hopes, my friend That's an easy thing to say, but if your hopes should pass away Simply pretend That you can build them again Look around, the grass is high The fields are ripe, it's the springtime of my life Ahhh, seasons change with the scenery Weaving time in a tapestry Won't you stop and remember me But look around, leaves are brown now And the sky is a hazy shade of winter Look around, leaves are brown There's a patch of snow on the ground...

[@ProtestVideo]

coolest ladies of rock and roll-saw them a few years ago at the House Of Blues in Boston-i got all their autographs and some great photos-they ended the show with their cover of the 1960s song "Pushing Too Hard" by The Seeds. Notice at the sing-a-long at the end of this video Run DMC, Michael McDonald of The Doobie Brothers and Kenny Loggins of Loggins and Messina.

[@kevinb3812]

The multi part harmonies make this excellent!!!

[@ilovetrump3209]

Now that was one hell of a band with everything! Looks, Musical Abilities and Awesome Vocal Harmonies! God I Miss Them!

[@jimmyjambhere]

I know this isn't their song but they sound pretty tight playing this song live back in the day and now. They should have had more material like this

[@GonzoGolf]

jimmyjambhere so your saying they should be a cover band?

[@jimmyjambhere]

i was just saying i think they sound better with more of a hard rock sound.

[@zacebbflo]

They are brilliant at mime

[@Caprizonica]

The vocals are live but not sure about the playing. They played it live at SNL and it sounds even better. The vid has been removed.

[@nickyblueeyes2925]

Love the Bangles. Funny how towards the end of of video 3:40-3:46 Vicky kept nudging Micki Steele to Kenny Loggins Micki got all shy and awkward hahahaha!

[@SacredFire777]

Michael seemed to be ticked off at Vicki. Wasn't that Kenny Loggin's wife and child next to them? I don't think think that was Stevie Nicks. I could be wrong. Kenny looked bewildered too.

[@joyk555]

nicky clue eyes 29 I don´t think Vicki pushed her exactly against him. She was just playing rough. Just a second before (3:39) it's seen that pushes Susanna too, even makes her wobble. But when she went against Micki she got very hard, it seems that she even hit her in the chest because it seems that it hurt her. That's why she gets upset, but Micki is very calm and tries to just reassure her with her hand. It's just Vick playing rough with Mick as was normal in her. It's something I miss about Micki in the band: the dynamic between her and Vicki, especially offstage.

[@pamsatira7784]

haha. ya, that was really funny and cute reaction from micki. she's the best.

[@TikaPants]

@@SacredFire777 Watch it again and see that Vicki nailed Michael right in the boob with her shoulder. That's why Michael cringed. I don't think she did that on purpose, she was just being playful and didn't realize where she bumped her at. That looks painful. Ouch! Poor Michael had to just try to keep smiling through the pain. Gotta love live TV!

[@SurferFille17]

Less Than Zero (1987) one of my favorite tunes from that year

[@MsVictorcrumbs]

Vicki hair always looks lovely

[@Mina-ok5qm]

This was a great performance. I can't help but to think of Robert Downey Jr when I hear this song ♥

[@mickeygarlock4611]

Susanna's side glance (sexy as it was) was her way of hiding stage fright, she would look at one person on each side of the stage to avoid looking at the crowd. Oh that I could been one of those people. It simply became her trademark. :)

[@wensmanyu8358]

Nice, They're still Wishing Merry Christmas Back then...

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you have ever been so high that you just wish you would NEVER come down and in the same time, you PRAY that you can find a way to stay high and live. I guess this is you. I have had to help friends quit cold . I have never hurt for people so much :( This is my favorite song by them. It is a wicked subject to get a hold of. They did it.

Simon & Garfunkel's version was more folk than rock. The Bangles turned it up, and I think the cover is better.

[@AJandWrmyinitials]

Definitely better. Simon and Garfunkel’s version is great (and had an edge that they usually didn’t have), but the Bangles own this song.

Damn, seen some live vids, saw them live a lot but never doing this song, jeez, they absolutely killed it, they really did become a fucking fantastic band. So sorry that this occurred right before they imploded and ended, they were wailing. Would have loved to had a whole cd produced by Rick Rubin, they deserved one hard rock record. Still, gotta say, new one's great, so much better than Doll Rev, but I miss Michael, still great, the Peterson's rule, but not the same sans Miki...love Bangs
