Deb's killing it on them drums. That kick is heavenly heavy.

Great concert! The Bangles performed 12 out of 13 songs from their album "Everything" which is my favorite record that they released.

[@garysimons1608]

These 4 ladies were so great together- especially live!

[@ullischuster1263]

You are right! They are (were) a fantastic live band. This is best heard at the Pittsburgh concert. To me, the only criteria for a good band always only was...sound on stage better than on record. More i don't need to know. And they are what i call...a real good band

[@holden190]

Love Crash and Burn.

[@divahasse]

My favorite Bangles song. Vikki is a master lyricist, way far better than she gets credit for. I got hooked on the band when I heard her sing the chorus to All About You. Love all their voices, it's always been about the Peterson sisters for me. They're all super talented. Their harmonies are right up there with the Beatles. Michael is a superb bass player fantastic, excellent singer and songwriter. Suzanne was a perfect match for the girls because she brings a different vocal quality and the three of them end up bigger than the individuals. I can listen to Debbie or Vicky sing all day long and never get tired of it. Also on Crash and Burn what she does with her voice along with the inventive lyrics, the attitude she has when she says "nothing can touch me", it's like her voice is speeding up just like her car. I've never read anything about it I always felt she was writing about her sadness of the band falling apart and just her need to get away from it. You get the feeling it hurts her a lot. Glad they worked it out a decade later.

The best female rock band ever! Thanks for posting

[@alejandrotintureeguren7273]

What about The Go Go´s? They were otstanding!

[@donwayne1357]

Have you ever heard of 'Fanny'? Give these women a listen. I love me some Bangles but Fanny kicks backside!

[@asia23425]

I like the Go Go's also

[@jamiethornton6101]

certainly the most billboard hits of any all female group. They even blew the Go Go's out of the water in that category.

[@addicktedtocharlton1167]

Girlschool. Not a lot of hits but a great live band. With Motörhead, released the only 10" single I have, St Valentines Day Massacre.

[@esteban26768]

I love the 80's😊

[@aryssonlima8784]

Finally I could listen I'll set you free live, just fantastic. Unbelievable they disbanded after a performance like this 😢

[@RedArrow73]

The band's managers had this agenda of wanting to set up Sue as a solo artist. Unfortunately, Michael had recently had a nervous breakdown and wanted off the carousel, called Susanna saying, "I can't do this anymore", and mgmt pounced and dissolved the band. The girls found out in a business meeting, I'm guessing, days after this show.

[@badgasaurus4211]

High notes in eternal flame. Class

[@Howoldareweanywayyipes]

I wish all you girls well in your futures... 74 and in love with you all.

[@edhc44]

This version of Angels Don't Fall in Love is probably the best thing I have ever heard

[@CHRnorton]

I've been loving the song too and this version is stellar, I would love to see Vicki's stage performance and how she rocked her guitar that nite. But the 86 Pittsburg gives you a taste of her. #11 Something to Believe was Michael doing a great song too.

[@ImperialRadioYT]

Sue's got so much energy and spunk, especially in In Your Room, Hero Takes A Fall, and Walking Down Your Street. Her voice is top-notch as always. and so sexy! this is where she starts to get her grit and rasp. it's just to die for!

[@holden190]

NOT THE LAST SHOW. I saw them in Easton PA 4/9/89

[@CHRnorton]

Great A performance!

[@svengarber7962]

Great how they perform the songs live. Harder, more straight, but still melodic with great vocal harmonies. Unfortunately I have never seen them live - so thanks or posting this live recording

[@gringopines3476]

WISH I COULD-A BEEN A PART OF THE CROUD WHEN THEY JAMED... BUT WAS BUSY JAMMIN IN A BAND MYSELF AND MISSED THE CHANCE... THANX TO ALL THOSE WHO DID AND GRACIOUSLY SHARED YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS... PEACE...

i like so much the Bangles ! i have their last dvd :)

[@pjay5964]

These girls ROCK!!!✊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ullischuster1263]

The bangles had 4-5 very successful years in the 80s. is the great pittsburgh '86 gig really the only concert before 2000, that was filmed in good quality ??? that would be really a pity!😞 They were a fantastic live band!

[@Taz90]

They had 6crazy, hectic but very successful years from '83 - '89. They released their first album 'All Over the Place', in '83 to moderate success. Then they exploded onto the scene in '86 when 'Different Light' was released. They also had another hit with their version of 'Hazy Shade of Winter'. Which was on the Less Than Zero soundtrack. And then there was their last album 'Everything' released in late '88. They were on their tour when they disbanded in '89.

[@edhc44]

I've been looking all over for the past month but I think the Pittsburgh '86 gig is the only old one with high production values Edit: sound-wise, this one right here is pretty top-notch though

[@Taz90]

Thanks for posting the complete audio of their last concert from '89. Until they reunited in 2000. #TheBanflesRRHOF2019

[@jacobsullivan7527]

C B tazfisher14 That was '89 not '98

[@Taz90]

Yes, I know. Just saw the error & corrected it. Hate typing things into my phone. Come out wrong half the time. LOL

[@chriswright1021]

Fantastic set,thanks for putting it on

[@yessicacartesmedina1285]

te extraño micki ,por que nos dejástes tan solos

[@JStarStar00]

Missing three of their best songs: "Going Down To Liverpool," "Dover Beach" and "September Gurls." Of course, they didn't know at the time this would be the "last" concert.

[@ankihansen2489]

And "Let It Go"! I love how all the girls harmonize in that song.

[@Cicilo1983]

Let It Go is really a great example of a missed single opportunity. I'm pretty sure it would have hit the top ten. It's still a personal favorite of mine after all these years.

[@svengarber7962]

The best songs of the Bangles are the cover songs and the ones they wrote with no co-writers....

[@Cicilo1983]

@@svengarber7962 I guess you're not crazy about the "Everything" era, then, since they cowrote each song with outside writers. (You have a right not to like that album, of course !).

[@svengarber7962]

@@Cicilo1983 I like it, especially Vicki's and Michael's contributions to the album, but I like the earlier songs more - and the last two albums.

[@riccardofanelli2181]

Bellissimo

[@jayberthoookenstein7370]

Buy this music. See a show.

[@FireMinstrel]

Somebody else is clearly playing lead guitar in "Watching The Sky". Who else was up on stage with them that day?

[@ullischuster1263]

there is a video of the tour (no good quality). There is no 2nd guitarist to be seen ... maybe it is somehow keyboards....or susanna (joke 😊) ..... kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJ2Udod9acSKeJo

[@divahasse]

Wrong!!! It is Vicki, no keys or Sue. She mostly plays a very clean sound which is why you can hear every note she plays on her fingers. Watching The Sky is their nod to Zeppelin and Sabbath. It's the one song she puts all the old 70's rock pedals on her guitar. So she sounds like that. She's amazing.

[@mbskates]

Fantastic!! Go some great rare bangles on video in perfect quality please visit Kurt Brady channel. You will love his quality.

Concerto

I be towpath towed and rolled by Centurions Concerto O

[@wesleycarusos8225]

The harmonies are ridiculous

[@tod3msn]

The Bangles sold records because of the pop sound and great front person selling their sound. This mix is way to heave with the drum sound. They would have sold less records and been less successful with the heavy drum sound in the mix and the lead vocals; of Suzanna Hoffs buried.
