Wire Train - Last Perfect Thing

[@micgivens23]

I loved these gents. I was the cinematographer on this clip and we had ourselves quite a time. The fast moving dolly shots on stage were actually me hand-holding the camera while on skates. The morning of the stage shoot my VW go stollen. I was a bit late due to talking with the constable. I got the car back six months later, sans engine. The cops charged me for storage. I couldn't afford their rates so i had to give them the pink slip. Stevie Price was directing. Rock on! MG

[@joewatson5052]

This is amazing!!!!

[@dullatron]

Those shots work really well! Thanks for giving some insight behind the scenes.

[@wonderv8]

wow!....sorry for your VW, but great work on this.

[@anttitheinternetguy3213]

Such a great story, thank you! 👏🏼👏🏼

[@Thefubeca12]

As a fellow VW guy I have to ask what kind of VW and what year model was it? I have a 67 beetle and 66 bus.

[@MrMoisheLebowitz]

It's a shame that so many musical gems go undiscovered or unappreciated. This song is one of those gems.

[@jt.8144]

1989. Live 105.3. life was great!! No stupid internet drama. NOTHING. PURE FREEDOM OF MIND BODY AND SOUL.

[@cliffevans7661]

Played this album for my girlfriend in 85 she was 18 and so beautiful I was 25 and still got the album and we are still together

[@EndingSummerwithRalph]

Still a gf?

[@musicamust8155]

Too damn funny!!

[@craigroberts1670]

This is one of those rare bands that at the time combined great guitars with great songs, mostly about love so I can see why this worked magic on your relationship with your girl. My favorite is Love Love c'os I was into the nightclub party scene back in the 80s and though I had no trouble pulling hot baby dolls I could never sustain a serious relationship with them as they were just too gorgeous!! I'm 58 now and single but I still love love this album. U2, The Church, and Big Country are also on my top five 80s list.

[@rogerbelger2014]

@@craigroberts1670 i just have to say hello to you craig, ive never known anyone else in my life that likes U2 and The Church as much as me! finishing my top 5 would be Wire Train, Jesus andMary Chain , Echo and theBunnymen....( i just wish those 4 didnt hate U2 so much)

[@fall9438]

I'm 43 now way back 88 heard this song what a great band I'm a new wave artist fan

I want to go back home to the 80s.

I love Wire train! Freaking awesome!👏👏👏👏👌😎👍👉♥️

[@julioaldavep]

Era inicios de mi adolescencia cuando el año 85 escuché por primera vez esta canción que se quedó conmigo y me seguirá acompañando porque nunca se puede dejar de escuchar un gran tema como este. Gracias Wire Train por tu música. Lo máximo.

[@jasonnickles5892]

One of my favorite songs from the 80’s!

[@ForrestSalfen]

THE BEST New Wave music ever recorded! Was then and is now one of my all time favorite albums. LPT coupled with I Will are a match made in Heaven....

[@elijahtalbott8898]

“I’ll Do You” and “Never” are my faves. I remember when music had heart.

[@julioangelmaguinacaycho3391]

A pocos días de cumplir 49 y sigo disfrutando estas canciones como si tuviera 14, 15 , 16 en la ya lejana década de los 80 , aquellos días del colegio y los amigos y esta buena música . Gracias FM 99 doble nueve por educarnos musicalmente . Por supuesto que el 31 de julio escucharé estas canciones con mis amigos de siempre.

[@galaxyuno1]

Saw these guys open for Big Country back in 1984. One of the best shows I ever saw. Anybody have or know where I can get a time machine? I'd like to go back.

[@micgivens23]

When you find it or invent it, give me a call.

[@TBLLFIIRES]

We love Wire Train...and we ve opened for Big Country too !!

[@ArabellaRayne]

the drummer grew up across the street from me, remember my mother yelling for him to stop practicing it was giving her a headache, i was like "oh ffs mom, its good music".

[@Bellymeatman]

.......didnt the drummer ( Fedarico Gil-Sola) ..... go back home and did gigs down there with other bands (....cant come up with their name right now)...... .....a decent band that should have had more label support

[@FedericoAlaimo]

Yes the drummer went back to Argentina and played with Divididos on 2 great albums. The still plays with other drummer and are legends

Wire Train had some excellent songs.

[@alesecardhu7303]

I Will, The Ocean , She Comes On, etc amazing band !!

[@Limagris912]

what a great band, their music was unique, a sound so special, they gave us so many songs to sing and remember.. Where are they now? I miss it when there were bands, you know? BANDS: young people who loved music and had things to say and music to create... bloody nostalgic!

[@JustBlinkMe1]

Listen to Angels and Airwaves if you haven't already! They're like a 21st century version of Wire train. Absolutely brilliant.

[@Limagris912]

thanks!

[@Wenz44]

+JustBlinkMe1 Nice indication

[@jefflofgren5304]

Jeff Trott who is the guitarist on the following album (Ten Women) and their remaining studio albums has been Sheryl Crow's music director and guitarist since the late 90's. Its pretty much the reason why the rest of the band has never gotten back together.

[@dampergoldenrod4156]

@@jefflofgren5304 he sold out for the money because after madoona sherly crowe had to be the most grotesque female singer ever at that time. it only got worse and worse.

If Springsteen had written this, it would've been a global smash - nothing against the Boss, but there just isn't the justice! Wire Train rocked! Greetings from the UK! J x

[@dampergoldenrod4156]

springsteen music is simpleton music and primitive and for low class people but that is what the usa promotes the most. same for billy joel aerosmith bon jovi.... all primitive rauncy and stupid sounding.

Such a good song! I love Wire Train.

[@infinitocachirulo7408]

Great memories, bought their LP's at the tower record store on sunset, Hollywood. In 1984 I had a platonic love, never told the lady, and always thought about her when playing Wire Train songs. Beautiful music! Truly timeless!

[@jorgemingottfernandez7769]

Buena canción, este grupo es buenazo

[@humdae6738]

I discovered this great band too late back in 1995 when i was going through a phase of introspection and embracement of existential literature. This song reminds me a lot the stories of somerset maugham especially the ones related to polinesia.

[@MartiW]

@Thegeezerjk The band that Kings of Leon wish they could be. Bought this album and wore it out!

[@filibertoa85]

The best 80' s rock band in 1986

[@jillianandhaime60]

Before I thought that all New Wave bands all came from England.. but there were several American New Wave bands besides Wire Train, there are other bands like The Replacements, Information Society, Red Rockers, Ramones and Many others..

[@albertedwarddeguzman4012]

yeah right its all English Musick

[@dennisc2154]

This album was so damn good. I plowed through the vinyl and then wore out my cassette because it was so good. Skills of Summer is even better than this single.

[@hofnerjoe]

@kevinfhunter My comment wasn't meant to be taken personal. As a former music writer my "ego" comment was based on a brief meeting I had with you after a gig in LA in the late 80's. I was writing for a college paper.You came off as someone who had a chip on your shoulder which could hold back a band.While Mr. Trott seemed to be more comfortable in his skin... You/WT WERE successful artistically,just not so much in mainstream. I'm sure you're not the same "ego" driven songsmith today right?

Ohh man does this song take me back! back to the spring of '86 , i was 20 yrs old and had my whole life ahead of me....only recently i see the video to the song- its corny as hell, they couldn't get two more cycles? had to ride bitch? the singer is a lil over confident i think the way he girates his pelvis and stuff...but man what a great song

GREAT BAND...if not Hunter's ego they would have had much more success. The more level headed guitarist Trott scored big time later on as Sheryl Crows co-writer.

The song is way way better than "Melt with You" -- again it's just me I guess.

Glad I wasn't around in the 80s. F all that shit

[@dampergoldenrod4156]

+Chad Shepard Music was great in the mid 1980s. The best ever but you were expected to always work and fit in society and not pursue niche lifestyles and not be limited to closed circles that you were comfortable with. That kind of freedom did not come until the late 1990s.

[@shinybeast8946]

So, just bash an entire decade of music. You're not very bright are you?

Gawd this awful song should be the Last Perfect Thing.
