The Tubes Video Rarities:
This is a collection of stuff sent to me from Europe, and all was in
PAL format initially. It starts with a 15 minute FILM montage of several
songs and lots of early stage antics. This is the only stuff I?ve of
pre 1975 concerts. This film was created by A&M records to promote the
Tubes and has some GREAT stuff; quality on this however is a 2.5 because
its very old and god knows how many generations it is. Next up are two
songs performed at Anaheim Stadium in the late seventies. Nothing
remarkable here, but its interesting and boy is there a crowd. Quality here
is a 3 with decent sound. After that is a two song in studio RockPop
appearance featuring Prime Time and Television. This is the tubes at
their record company sucking up best and they ooze sarcastic smarm while
lip syncing; quality is a solid 4 or 4.5 with perfect sound because they
aren?t really performing. Then we have 1983 TV concert featuring 5
songs or so including Sue Sue Sushi, Out Of The Business, Wild Women of
Wongo, She?s a Beauty and White Punks On Dope. This is a full on stage
production and the video quality is good, rating a 4 and sound is
excellent. Last but not least is a European version of the promo video for
She?s A Beauty. Its very odd and definitely not the one I saw on MTV here.
The song on this was awful so I decided to try the cd version instead.
It didn?t come close to fitting, but I discovered that if I removed a
refrain from the middle, it was suddenly perfect. An hour later I had
managed to replace the original audio with a modified arrangement of the
CD version and you cant tell its not the original. I found the CD of
the album REALLY tinny and flat, so I boosted the low end a lot and
filled it in to duplicate the radio mix that was originally there. Video
quality on this is a 3.
