Hi,

I hope your holidays were great and safe. Not much I can say about the latest video update. It features the guys in full funk mode with a side of Bitches Brew. These themed sets were an early attempt at humor and a way to play more sets around town as different "bands"; country, rock, funk- whatever people wanted to hear, it all helped pay the bills. This is some of the earliest footage of The Tubes, enjoy!

Well it's certainly funky in the James Brown mode. I think that Michael Jackson stole some of Fee's moves. He definitely stole his wardrobe the flood slacks, white socks, loafers bit. Now we know where it all came from. Fee should charge Michael a fee for it. Ha Ha!

This is really cool Mike. I'm so glad you have this and shared it with us.
Anderson (if that is actually him) looks amazing!

Thanks so much for sharing - absolutely awesome to see such a fluid and fun performance. Fee Waybill and the Tubes clearly were, have been and ARE innovators in music and performing arts. Any chance you have clip of "Get on up...like a sex machine"?

I have no idea what year this video was made - but I can plainly see elements of Michael Jackson's "Moonwalk" in it! Someone hit the nail on the head - MJ should pay a royalty to the Tubes!!!!!!!
