More at www.frumvinyl .com Fee Waybill of The Tubes talks about the show in Kalamazoo, selling records, early Tubes versus later Tubes, David Foster, Todd Rundgren, and commercial property

The Tubes--most real band in R&R history! We saw them open for Bowie in 1980. They played in front of 65,000 screaming lunatics on Saturday night, then, the whole band, shows up at our softball tournament on Sunday (dancers and all) to play a couple games and have a couple beers, before hopping the jet for the next show! Unreal, they just wanted to say "thanks for coming to the show!"

In my opinion, the greatest rock n roll band of all time. First time I saw them was at the Capitol Theater in Passaic NJ. The night of the show there was a major snowstorm, and there couldn't have been more than 200 people in the building. The Plimsouls were supposed to open, but didn't show. Fee walked out, looked at the audience & said "You people are going to tell your friends you saw the best Goddamn rock show tonight". He was right, the played for hours, & we were all exhausted from the power of the show. No band for me has ever come close.

I disagree. I LOVE being in cult bands. (You don't need to sell a lot of records to make $3000 a night as a musician.) No INTELLIGENT person wants to be a big star. The bureaucracy... the plasticity of the industry... the greed... EX: PINK FLOYD says that the band DIED when they became superstars after Dark Side. The EAGLES say SUCCESS is what ruined them. This is the rule.

What a terrific, frank interview with Waybill. I went to SF Art Institute in '71 when Cotten and Prairie Prince were there. The band was just coming together then (called the Beans) They played at some school functions. Anyone who didn't see their first national tour (75?) missed one of the greatest Rock 'n Roll roadshows ever put together. Fee still gives 100% at every show.......They had something good going with David Foster. Too bad Bill Spooner and some of the others couldn't see their way to continue that alliance.

I grew up in Phoenix, Az... "The Beans" & "The Red, White & Blues Band" were 2 of the top bands there back in the late 60's ..leaving town separately for fame & fortune to the bay area, then merging into "The TUBES" in '71. I once jammed on stage (blues harp) with the Red White & Blues Band at Legend City & loved The Beans , who even once played at my high school. About the time they were merging into The Tubes in the Bay area, I got my own band rolling called "Sage" ( Guitar,bass & drums + my lead vocal) & were a popular band for a few years in the early 70's (Played a lot at The Odyssey.) SO, you can easily see why I'm all down with Fee....& great to see they're still performing...and even Bill Spooner ( Original Beans / Tubes lead guitar ) is playing clubs ion the Bay Area as well.

IMO Remote Control was just about as great as it can get. We generally hated North American stuff back then with the exception of Hendrix, Todd, and Zappa, but that particular album got played until the grooves wore out. Fee, as with most Americans is clearly obsessed with making loads of money, but one could never accuse The Tubes of being hypocritical in this regard, just a really great band with a live show to die for.

If David foster could get 4 hit singles , why didn't they happen on fee's solo album that he did with foster and lukather?when I listen to a tubes album I like to hear fee sing half the songs with Spooner singing others with Roger Steen singing lead on a song.The albums that foster DIDNT produce showed what a unique and distinctive sound they made.Band harmonies were great(welnick ,waybill,Steen and Spooner ) merged vocals that disappeared on outside inside and weren't there for some of outside inside.Also half the songs on outside inside sound like hired musicians trying to create a 1980s "lite FM" sound.I will give credit to lukather and foster for helping write 2 great songs but at the end of the day when I bought a TUBES album I don't want to listen to songs like fantastic delusion or no not again or even monkey time.It seems to me that capital records wanted to keep going to the lukather foster waybill songs to sell product."writing to formula " usually worked short term in the music industry in the 70 and 80s but usually never sustained success(poor solo album by fee written with foster and lukather)In hindsight if the band had better management they might have found a compromise(have foster produce 1 song )and let a unique band be creative on the rest of the album.What seems to be list concerning this band and many others is that their fans got locked into them following their live shows and weren't interested in hearing albums that clearly didn't have them performing on some instruments and vocals.

I did get to see them live at the Pantages Theater in L.A around 1978-79. in, "Outrageous at The Pantages". It was an incredible show with all the theater you'd expect-including "Kway Lude". And in about 2004 or 5 got to meet Fe in person at a casino just outside Sacramento (Cashe Creek) as they performed a scaled down show there. When I heard "She's a Beauty" I was happy they were back on the airwaves. I asked Fe if he remembered the show at The Pantages and he said, "absolutely".

First saw the Tubes at Dallas County Convention Center Theater, small venue. Encore =1 they did a tune called Doctors Hospital with Re Debris wheeled out on a gurney covered by a thin white sheet and her ample curves protruding proudly. When Fee fired up the chainsaw, a Dallas cop standing stageside saw the blue two-cycle smoke head up toward the stage lights, he nearly swallowed his cigar. It was worth the price of admission!

wonder who the other 10 producers were before Foster in 1981. John Cale would a been a good choice as producer then esp and hell even now. Could this quintet ever make a record in this odd non label days. Rhino or Hear music or whatever???

It’s a shame the never got the recognition they so much deserved, only 2 hit songs, been listening to their music for many years, a very tight band!

They were greatest in the 1970's and early 1980's . It was the mainstream sheeple who may have liked their rock music but it was too good for them, thought their awesome stage acts were weird and couldn't understand their satirical message, and thus like idiots black sheeped the tubes .

Saw the Tubes in Boston back in the 70's and was totally blown away by their performance with all the costume changes and stage props.

Ok, it should have been "Primetime", done with Todd Rundgren, should have catapulted the Tubes. In the end he admits that he rather do what he is doing and not being a superstar.
