Wendy O. Williams - You'll Succeed (Live In London, 1985)

“You’ll Succeed” is another video from Wendy O. Williams´ concert at the Camden Palace in 1985 for the program Live From London, produced by Philip Goodhand-Taite and directed by Rod Swenson. It is a rare recording because the song, recorded here, and worked up originally for the WOW album was never recorded on any album and only performed briefly during the Kommander of Kaos tour. So this may be the only recording of it.
The three piece band seen here (a departure from the Plasmatics usual 4-piece line-up) is composed by:
- Michael Ray, the wunderkind guitarist discovered by Gene Simmons in 1982 on lead and rhythm guitar. He also played on the WOW album, the Kommander of Kaos album, and later on the Plasmatics' Maggots: The Record album;
- Greg Smith on bass, who later played with everyone from Alice Cooper, Ronnie James Dio, Ted Nugent and others. He was the touring bass player for the WOW album (on which Gene Simmons played bass for the studio version), and then the Kommander of Kaos album;
- TC Tolliver, Plasmatics long-term heavy hitter on drums. He also played on the Plasmatics "Coup D'Etat" album, the WOW album, as well as Kommander of Kaos.

I saw The Plasmatics play at a little bar called Mother's back in '87 in Illinois.... Such a major influence on my life !!!

[@alexnelson9512]

_Wendy O made life such fun - when life was worth living! Look at us now._

[@Empirism]

When I was a kid, in 1984, Wendy rocked into this kid's heart with it's my life.

[@richardmanley2072]

I miss her rest in peace she was one of a kind

[@AO-rc2oi]

Yeah!!! :D I wish that this song was on Kommander of Kaos. Maybe a reissued one in the future?!

[@alexkx8599]

Is it an unreleased song? Why that one in particular? Was this show part of that project?

[@PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

Unmistakable as always.

[@zoltanjanostar187]

I 💔 Wendy. & Plasmatics.

[@virgiliopalominonunez8089]

Maravillosa, eterna.

[@tonyrobles2696]

Love Wendy❤️

[@eddiemuniz761]

Greg Smith has to be one of the most hungriest motivated individuals that I have seen!I wonder if he is going to do a studio album with TYKETTO?

[@cyberpunk7192]

RIP Wendy O' Williams 😘

[@luisavilaperez8652]

This is love and rock n roll

[@JDWheels1]

Saw the plasmatics opening for kiss... and they blew the painted foursome off of the fucking stage. Many of my bands since then have at least one plasmatic cover.

[@robertstirewalt7789]

Love her

[@jorgeleonelmundodiaz7449]

Very good punk - rock

[@barackmycat9448]

They certainly make an impression. I`ll say that. Quite good actually.

[@1Craftyone]

Just curious if you plan to put out anything from Maggots LP? That was the most underrated LP ever and you can hardly find anything online from it, must be a copyright thing

[@jorgegonzalezaguilar5467]

👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@NickNicometi]

I'm just now learning of Wendy O and the Plasmatics at 54! I'm dumbfounded that I never heard of them in my teens when they were hot. She no doubt inspired Joan Jett and other female rockers. Courtney Love totally ripped her persona, as she ripped everything in her pathetic, murderous life. When I first saw Wendy jere on YT a few months ago, my first thought was that I want to see this lady, even though she's older now. Saddened to learn that she is no longer with us. RIP Wendy Orlean Williams 🙏💓

섹시하고 멋있다 훌륭한 뮤지션

[@dennis1662]

Pure evil. One can see it in their eyes, their facial expressions, their actions and their voices. And that is the beauty of self expression, without which the world would never see what the possessed really look like.

[@97warlock]

Didnt care for this era , 78-83 bLOWS THIS AWAY IMO

[@thewkovacs316]

she wouldve made millions doing exercise vids

[@SweetTeaConnoisseur]

If Wendy were still alive that is probably what she'd be doing.

[@PeterC-up9ue]

Now that I'm successful I don''t wanna suck seed.

[@melmortimer1545]

I love her......she's my punk rock queen....such a great performer ..real ..raw....and very sexy!!! ❤️ Melanie 32..x.

Примитив полный по части музыки. Точнее её нет совсем.

[@PietroDeSalo]

Менди-Венди делает сосенди.

[@cometblazt]

And she died from a drug overdose? surprising! what a pity of wasted lives.

[@needtashow]

Wendy did not die from a drug overdose. It's very simple to look it up.

[@JohnDoe-xf8ew]

Wendy was straight edge the time of her death. She ended up taking her own life.

[@edwardramirez9098]

No voice. No talent.

[@peterlynch7435]

Crap

[@BjorgenEatinger]

Her vocal is either heavily processed or she's singing to track. Just doesn't sound live or natural.
