I mean, what can you say? Almost unreal, it is THAT good. Those musicians are playing with incredible restraint, the mark of pros. And the singer? Besides being a true beauty, the restraint of her on-point vocals matches the players perfectly. On top of all that, the lyrics themselves are as identifiable as any of the great, old standards, maybe more so. Who amongst us has not desired total control over both our lover and ourselves? We all know that no one singing today can equal this, not this kind of raw, blanketed emotionalism. But who could from the past? Probably no one as well.

I'd sell my soul for total control over time travel so I could go back in time and see The Motels live in 1982.

I saw the Motels as a student at the Stanford Coffeehouse in 1979, before they released this. I remember being stunned by this, almost not knowing what to do, other than pick my jaw off the floor. Martha had such an incredible presence. I knew I was watching greatness.

This footage had me hypnotized at age 10 when first aired. Love at first sight and sound, The audience new they were witnessing a classic
@Beerlust_AUS
A very special band. Given the combined talents they had, they should have gone on to do some really special things muscially over a good period of time. I am grateful for what they did do though. The Motels were very well received in Australia when they first released their music. I've never forgotten them & still enjoy listening to the music they created back then. Hearing Martha Davis sing is a priviledge.

I am here for Martha's performance, but would like to commend the admirably restrained yet tasteful contributions of the guitarists. Not to exclude that saxy solo with Martha on her knees!

I was 25 when I first heard this. Possibly on Radio Luxembourg. Totally blown away at the time. Still love it.
