I saw them live in '83 at the Berkeley Square and the On Broadway. They were mind-blowing the first show. This is incredible footage; Bob rules (though low in the mix) and Paul's vocals are incredible

I was a teenager, and I heard them on college radio a lot. Loved them. They played a club near my house a couple dozen times over the years but it was always 21 and over shows. By the time I was legal at the beginning of the 90's, the club turned into a jazz/rap/dance club and then closed up for good. It kills me all the legendary bands that played in that place, and the only nights I could get in was the stupid all-ages dj nights.

Bob Stinson was a genius guitarist. He was like a more unhinged Bob Quine...ripping leads that should have never been right for the song at hand buuuuut, when Bob played them they were wonderful and clever and perfect

@@bobpike8050 well, he certainly wasn't Mozart...that's for sure...BUT, his uncanny ability (kinda like Robert Quine, Jeff Cotton, Elliott Ingbar, etc) to juxtapose some of the most bizarre things that make zero sense at all into a song and completely understand how his bizarr-o parts would take the song at hand to a level of greatness that it fully deserved in order to shine...that's pretty crazy!! I have tried playing some of my fave Bob-era Mats tunes and tried dropping in the kind of solos and fills that a less creative/typical player might have played and, there's a lot of songs that kinda have the soul sucked out of them. Sure, there are some that are very, very good (not great) without Bob's unique additions but, Bob's fondness for YES, 50s rock and roll, Mountain & other classic rockers, Aerosmith, 50s and 60s country and, Captain Sensible provided him with the diversity of influences that matched his ability to play the guitar and, most importantly for me - the uniquely whacked out headspace to make the magic happen. Just my opinion though. Definitely not opposed to any other opinions. Cheers

@@dougsmith7083 I think he is great. I see myself in Bob since my two favorite bands were Yes and Kiss and like Bob, I was a superfan who played guitar. When I first started playing, he was my key inspiration with his "just go for it" solos. With a bit if theory, I developed into a better player but I lost something as well.

To catch the Mats when they were 'on' was a transcendent experience. Was lucky to catch them live three times in the 80's. Two of the three shows were epic. The one that wasn't was their Sire label signing showcase at the Roxy in Hollywood. They were obviously feeling a lot of pressure and as such they came on stage completely trashed. Too trashed to play. They eventually all switched instruments as the crowd dwindled. Felt angry at them for screwing it up but later came to realize they just didn't have it in them to handle higher levels of fame. Can't say I blame them as an older human.
