Y&T - Mean Streak (live 1987) Kansas City

[@tonychavez2083]

One of the most underrated bands of the 80's period!

[@yeahright302]

no not really,they had lot of success

[@shawndardbarbarbarian5061]

I agree, should have been bigger than they were

[@Crippled69]

Yeah these guys and Kix got a raw deal

[@SteveOuimette]

Back when I was a freshman in high school my guitar teacher's band opened for Y&T and San Ramon High. I got to roadie for the night for my teacher and ended up helping Leonard load in his drums. Great show, great band.

[@shawndardbarbarbarian5061]

Forgot how good they were, saw them once and they killed it

[@dennisthemenace5466]

Saw them in 84 with Dokken and Twisted Sister, man what a great F**KING show🤘🤘🤘

[@frevryngrocks9346]

I love Y&T & miss the 80's!

[@marlahart2060]

🎸🙋‍♀️I miss the 80s too!

[@AndresMedina1]

His vocals are terrific! OMG same as the album version

[@The1WhoKnowsTheTruth]

1987.......nuff said. Everyone was golden.

[@64underground69]

Y&T was one of the first bands I saw live when I was a kid. Saw them play with Sammy Hagar in the mid 80's. It was the Mean Streak tour! Don't remember the year. It was in Sacramento, CA. Also saw Kiss, The tubes, WASP & Krokus. I was in middle school at the time. Awesome times!

[@jesusmeza4335]

I was there to brother🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@rycherules]

What a great band and one of their best songs. It is so awesome to see these old vidoes and relive my youth. Y&T rocks!!! Meniketti will always be one of the best metal vocalists....rock on.

[@GreenManalishi1000]

Classic Rock from a sadly very underrated band!

[@OrkoSukisuki]

Heavy Metal

[@beavishawk1]

Good rock.. Not slayer.. Which is trash ​@@OrkoSukisuki

[@OrkoSukisuki]

@@beavishawk1 Y&T is Heavy Metal/Hard Rock band. Y&T were one of the first bands who did influence many US-metal bands for example. And did gigs/tours with metal bands like Metallica, Saxon etc. And btw. It's Thrash.

[@ctfan1486]

This band was the last show I saw before the lockdown. One week later everything was closed. Hope to see them again.

[@tyre3]

I was front row at this show. It was Faster Pussycat,Ace Frehley and Y & T. It was suppose to be GNR. Faster Pussycat was in raw form and really kicked ass. Ace was so drunk on stage he call us St.Louis. Y & T came out and just blow me away. The one and only time that came to Kanas City. They showed this whole concert on a local channel and I recorded it all and I still have it to this day. A drunken ACE interview was the best part. I'm out

[@randallfloyd4476]

saw them in stl....probably the next night.

[@savarulz]

I literally grew up with Dave and the guys in San Leandro, Ca. Love this song and glad Dave is back touring.

[@rapharovelasco9149]

one of yhe best selected Heavy Metal Song 1983, imcluding where eagles dare, The Power and Glory, Flight of icarus, Another Perfect day amd Breathless of Quit riot...

[@arleneram5636]

Love this band and song! Awesome talent! Singing and guitar!

[@ralphster2567]

Y&T ...these guys still rock..... demand them at your venues.... dave is a very talented dude. rock is forever.

[@CocaLightMan]

I loooooove this song... the fact is, I knew this song playing Nascar 2000 on my PC when I was 18... but I didn't know the track's name! Great!

[@johnd100]

Same here bro! I was 10 when that game came out and my dad was holy shit that’s Y&T in a video game??? Hell yeah lol

[@DAIEDRO]

Same here! But on PS1.

[@joekowalski182]

Seen them at Harpo's in Detroit 1986 with Saxon what a show!!

[@ZaveAres]

Just learned that intro guitar riff it's so badass! Also they sound just like they do on the album!

[@pjmoreau]

nice camera work zooming the rhythm guitar during the guitar solo ;) great band still great live

[@ssdtrain1]

Awesome voice!!

[@marlahart2060]

🎸🙋‍♀️So awesome. One of my fav bands!🤩

[@davidporter1943]

kickass as always followed y&t for in years.

[@philwright2112]

9 morons that don't know good rock gave a thumbs down, such a great band, I've seen them live about 15 times over the years, always a great show, so underated, thankfully here in 2020 going into 2021 they are still rockin

[@jamesigou9033]

Great band. I saw them in Philadelphia at a small venue that served alcohol. I took a good friend who was underage, but the guy at the door let him in anyway. My buddy said it was the best live show he'd ever seen.

[@lauraz2896]

30 years and they sound the same ❤️

[@a1guitars]

Dave is the only surviving member.

[@josecasaldiaz2889]

Obra maestra de la música

[@drumdude46]

this guy had the most bad-Ass Vocals.... jeez. such power, and control. and that's "BEFORE" we start talkin' bout his Guitar playing.

[@myvett95]

Seen them twice,at Sweden Rock Festival both times. Best concerts,ever,for me!

[@TheSphinxy69]

Still great after all this time .......roll on 1st of october 2011....going to see them at rock city nottingham

[@TheoIam]

Jesus the metal ware from mid to late 80’s!! Haha. I was there to.

[@drumdude46]

[@jennifermaynard1973]

@drumdude46 agree buddy, saw a few times in Manchester and liverpool over the last few years, they were coming over every year, his voice is one of the best I ever heard live, the band are so tight, the sound was always perfect, and the geetar, OMG everytime !

[@pingcho]

Saw them at the Fox in Atlanta. Awesome soloist.

[@joseserranobayon7274]

.Y&T rules!!!

[@scareviewzombies]

Great riffs great guitar tone they rock a lot better than poison or motley crue

[@centristbill]

What do you mean what happened?? Y&T are still around. Phil Kennemore isnt on bass anymore due to his passing but Brad Lang is doing an excellent job now.

[@williametanner412]

Ahhhhh.....back when we had hair that looked that fukn' good!

[@slicksnot]

God Bless Y & T! God Bless

[@arleneram5636]

Thanks Paul for turning me on to this band!

[@ClarenceWerly]

I remember this show...Guns N Roses opened for Y&T

[@randallfloyd4476]

we got ace frehley and faster pussycat.

[@HeavyMetal707]

I was at this concert in KC also!! These f*ckin guys rocked!

[@johannmichael]

i will never undersdtand, why this band would be not standing in front of bands like aerosmith or van halen. y&t is better.

[@roryoconnor861]

Brilliant

[@JakeChimera]

try listening to "the RODS"...

[@boxman0924]

@pumazpawz I never thought about it until you said it....yes he is another Sammy!!!!

[@russkgs]

@TheSphinxy69 Enjoy the show. But you won't see all THESE guys - only Meniketti is left. Saw them 2 nights ago in Reno, still an awesome presence, very professional.

[@A1Authority]

Singer reminds of a cross tween Sammy Hagar and David Coverdale.

[@Savatage1964]

Difference being...Meniketti shreds the guitar WAY better than Hagar, and sings WAY better than Coverdale. Other than that, yeah...a cross.

[@A1Authority]

@@Savatage1964 64 huh? We have something in common. I saw these guys in Rochester NY once. I think this is really the only song that hit thought?

[@Savatage1964]

@@A1Authority "Summertime Girls" hit big and I think "Rescue Me" to a lesser degree. But I'm willing to bet some of their other stuff was big in the Bay area. Problem was, they got blocked by Journey's rising popularity.

[@A1Authority]

@@Savatage1964 Journey? nahhh. if anything, I guess metal market saturation and the fact that we already had a Sammy Hagar was closer to the matter. I did see these guys once. They were good.

[@Savatage1964]

@@A1Authority I seen 'em too...they. "opened" for Heart. There wasn't much difference between studio and live. Sad to see we've lost 3 out of 4 of them. They've always been in my Top 5

[@robertleven4449]

Leonard was an idol of mine. Bought the first yesterday and today when it first came. Was at the show at the fillmore the night Leonard and Joey came out and jammed. A concert highlight for me. RIP Leonard, Joey, and Phil. Best rhythm section in rock!

[@MrSmokeydog]

These guys honed their licks in the SF bay area and established a following and then tried to compete with all the bands in LA. And it did'nt work out so they just recorded and performed and developed into a top notch band with no thrills and frills just steady hard original rock that was right to the core and the fans loved it but unfortunately they were'nt decadent and sleazy enough to make it in LA.

[@thomashomer6161]

MrSmokeydog. The didn't sell out and their still performing til this day 2018!!

[@ravenstrike710]

E P I C

[@billwatson8616]

That makes sense. Mike and Sammy were both from the Bay Area.

[@1962drob]

@Nukeboy93 I know man!!! Back in those days, it was all about Guitar, Drums, Bass and Killer Vocals. Nowadays, it's all computer generated.

[@RichardMontgomeryKK]

funny the 2nd guitarist's hair extensions-

[@Lair69]

Their unjust suppression was, I think, because he sounded a lot like the Red Rocker

[@captainnemo9773]

Nascar 2000 anyone

[@WarhawkFAQs]

That's how I discovered this song.

[@A1Authority]

This is the wrong vid to make this comment on, but with the long-tail coats they wear, I'm a little surprised no serious band ever came onstage with outright superhero capes.(edit) Oh, wait. Did all of KISS do that once? I remember Gene and Ace with them... but, of course, I'm just envisioning some otherwise usual metal band.

[@ZaveAres]

Yes Gene usually always has a cape and Ace has had one here and there.

[@ss10ist]

is that leanard Haze? or jimmy degrasso? on drums i just met dave, my dream come true and met the whole band very nice

[@markjoseph8795]

Dave has a great voice & some chops on the guitar. IMHO Meniketti would have been a better replacement in Van Halen for DLR. No offense to Sammy intended.

[@SuperDachshund]

True dat! Never thought of that but now that you mention it, Dave would have added an edginess missing from Van Hagar. (Love Sammy. In fact, Sammy was never better than when he is solo. VH was never better than when they had DLR.)

[@billswinford1026]

Very interesting idea. Dave and the original Y&T members were all around and kicking it in the same era Montrose and Sammy Hagar were getting their thing on. I'm sure they all knew each other, and they were all Bay Area favorites. In hindsight it would not have been too outrageous a concept for Dave to have made the same move Sammy did given certain aspects of their backgrounds. But... I think Dave's always been too good, and deservedly ambitious, to have willingly taken a back seat to EVH on guitar and the spotlight. He's his own man and Leonard, Phil, and Joey were a formidable set of bandmates that blew away many other bands of the era talent-wise. Dave's vocals, guitar, and stage presence were, and are, kick ass. It would have been a lot better than how things played out, IMO, for VH, and Dave would be a hell of a lot richer today, but that's life.

[@ashevilledurden4461]

Sounds like sammy hagar

[@TheRipdale3]

cant be 87 Leonard was still in the band in 87 and that aint Leonard it's DeGrasso

[@victorhanson1475]

good eyesTheRipdale3, did not Leonard leave about 87~88, I know it was before Summertime Girls

[@caroleedgar7611]

Victor Hanson Jimmy DeGrasso on drums

[@colerobert9700]

Leonard Haze left in 1986,So the timeline is absolutely correct for it be 1987

[@paulstanley9436]

So sad the 80s required such pathetic dress and behavior to make it that it destroyed an entire industry and form of art that delvolved in a loop of imitation and malevolent slovenliness...just sad. And the music is so fing good and well played but these almost unknown dudes...! The good old days...before this posing display, were so good. In a local bar, Yesterday and Today was 100 times better...js...!
