The Romantics Live: Talking in Your Sleep - August 18, 2019

[@bjerguotou3853]

i dont care if theyre past their prime. i dont care if theyre out of sync. I care if theyre having a blast and being happy while playing an awesome tune. Cheers.

[@ZippyThePinhead]

Well said!!! They sound good, the crowd is enjoying it, and they're having fun doing it.., THAT'S what counts. Wish I could've been there myself.

One of the greatest song of the 80’s, but they are clearly no longer what they use to be. Never mind, would love to see them live.

[@chasgorman1086]

Dude seriously? One of the greatest songs of the 80’s? What alternate reality we’re you living in?

[@MrDoneboy]

Who still is who they used to be...Lol!

[@carlrudd1858]

@@chasgorman1086 he's right. One of THE greatest songs of the 1980's.

[@chasgorman1086]

Hey dude, whatever floats your boat. It’s all good too.

[@carlosmallque6585]

Quienes vivieron en aquel tiempo tienen el derecho genuino de calificar, personalmente son una leyenda y aportan una cuota en el cofre de los clásicos del rock...

[@Dgoldsweeps4002]

I graduated in 86 and man this was awesome rhen and STILL is da bomb today, thanks guys please never stop performing and thank you for all of your songs.

[@pedroebarbosac]

the song is DA BOMB still in 2023....

[@pallen49]

Class of '82' here, lol

[@juandiegouribe7535]

Me too in 1986

[@1Arrowhead]

This is the kind of show where you drink before it, during it, and after it just because The Romantics are still awesome and so are you!

[@kaylawashburn5321]

I'm 29 and born in 1994.. mad I never saw the 80's .. but I sure know one thing.. this was the freakin song!!! I watch 80s vids all the time and this is at the top of the list. Jams every time... sometimes on repeat..😮 ❤❤❤❤

[@eric.cachetes4273]

I was 13 years old when this song came out the 80s were awesome

[@RonaldSanford-pl7tf]

I have seen the Romantics live at least five times starting in the early 1990s. The first time I saw them I was expecting a pop band playing the hits that we heard on the radio. I was totally blown away by what a poignant, energetic rock ‘n’ roll band these guys are. I had the pleasure of meeting Mike and Wally backstage at none other than, the Cleveland zoo amphitheater of all places around 1999. Wally was a little apprehensive since I had just kind of found my way backstage when they were climbing into their golf cart to be driven away to…wherever. Mike Skill was one of the nicest guys I have ever had the pleasure of shaking hands with. He asked me my name, and I told him hey, I’m Ron… He said” Hey, I’m Mike.” All I could come up with was yeah, I know….. Really nice to meet you. I am a huge Kinks fan and I asked Mike if they were also Kinks fans since they did a cover at that show of “Cadillac” by the kinks. Mike said …“We love the Kinks!” Awesome experience!

[@Megafoot2164]

Great tune , one of the best from the 80's .

[@luisromero2500]

Uno de los mejores temas de los 80tas ,the Romántics ,talking in your sleep,con una guitarra espectacular,y un swing, de los mejores temas ochenteros,a guitarra limpia.

[@Jorge-Tamacas]

Ésta canción está entre mis favoritas de los 80's, creo que yo tendría 8 o 9 años la primera vez que la escuché, se me quedó grabada en la memoria

[@awwwyeaboyeeee]

god bless this band

[@MrDeterioration]

That guitar solo was brutal.

[@Lowered_Gadh]

yeah right!!!

[@xstylus9950]

Yeah...AND the guitar solo

[@cedricsmith2567]

😅😅😅

[@calvinwalton2096]

They sound like they hadn't played live together in years...geez!

[@Maureen2909]

Right

[@rickyparrilla2426]

These guys kicked ass in the 80s and their songs still hold up today. I guess this was a bad gig and all bands have them.❤

[@steveacker31]

Thanks for posting this! I was lucky enough to see The Romantics at a small bar (The Bayou) in DC back in 1982 or 83. Fun night, great music.

[@markpenn4831]

Excellent ! Great to be successful !! More please !

[@geloma]

Everybody wants classic rockstars will live for ever, in this times there's no singers like those.

[@chasgorman1086]

They sound like a garage band without a garage.

[@chustad1]

More like garbage without a garbage can. Fucking hell. I don’t know what the shit that drummer is up to but he’s a total Heathcliff

[@VaultedR]

Yeah lol

[@aleyva44]

Beautiful song 🎶❤️🎤

[@estelaalvesdepaula366]

Amo está música ! Sempre que ouço lembro do meu irmão, ele ñ vive mais, já se foi...😭 ele ouvia praticamente todos os dias 😔 Muitas vzs ao ouvir este som, sinto as lágrimas descendo pelo meu rosto 😭😭😭 Saudades meu irmão 😔✨

[@calvinwalton2096]

But you know what? They should keep playing until the rust falls off. I know I cracked a few jokes but it is clear they haven't played together in awhile. Don't give up dudes, keep jamming!

[@MSB042170]

I agree they sounded pretty good. I mean it was a Sunday afternoon. Not much of a crowd. I bet if it was inside at night, some drinks etc. performance would be better.

[@kbtube8125]

true. have some burritos and beer too. might help.

[@user-zx6lf5so4w]

Un a banda que fue la mejor en los 80's el sonido limpio el bajo las guitarras electricas y bateria era como ir un dia de campo o vacilar en la playa o en un parqueadero de comidas rapidas una epoca donde el sonido de estas bellas bandas fueron inspiracion para muchos que nos gustan de la verdadera muisica con gran calidad que son los instrumentos que dan ese bello toco a una melodia .

[@DrJ-hx7wv]

Love the Romantics. Not sure who these guys are.

[@chrischamberlain836]

Its Heratio Sans from Saturday night live doing a skit

[@emanuelmifsud6754]

38 years later what we are missing here is Wally's voice and Mike's guitar skills and the drummer's skills.. Nothing like making an amazing song into a mishmash of sounds. How hard to reproduce the original sound, it was a reasonably simple song. Mind you, I have seen cover version bands do great reproductions of original song without computers

[@synthonaplinth5980]

Mike is here but he played bass on this song when it was recorded. Agreed though, the drummer is horrible.

[@bravotronalpha3787]

They sound like an over-the-hill cover band of themselves.

[@60guitarzan]

Nobody's forcing you to listen to them!

[@kbtube8125]

that about says it all.

[@jeffmartin272]

The drumming is just as on point as it was 40 years ago- loving it!

[@kromedome0101]

Unfortunately it's a different drummer.

[@pallen49]

@@kromedome0101 I was just gonna ask if they all were originals or not?..

[@rohanreed238]

Nah the drumming completely different, this guy constantly messes around and doesn’t play the high hats when he’s meant to and often doesn’t play rhythm at all

[@ntsantarosaca9321]

The music is still on point maybe with a little rehearsal time they can get the vocals back to the way we remember :) great effort glad they made this appearance

[@saferbytheshore]

Oof, the drummer keeps randomly slowing down and then the band gets out of sync. They look like they’re having a blast at least.

[@sjtom57]

Wow, they got old. Geez, so did I. Anyway, it was nice seeing them again.

35+ years later & how they changed but still sound similar. Youth is finite.

He’s no where close to how he sounded in the 80’s but I love this song I discovered this song when I played Namco museum 50th anniversary I wish people’s voices just don’t change

[@emanuelmifsud6754]

Without sounding negative, it was recorded by someone in the audience, Wally's voice is garblely, Mike is not strumming properly and the drummer is ALL over the place.
