I want my MTV (25 years ago today it all started)

[RonJonSurfer]

Sister Disco by the Who just went off and here is REO Speedwagon.....LIVE!!

[The Seeker]

If they continue like that I might even have to turn the TV on and watch MTV. Gasp.

I've never seen the video for Sister Disco before; I didn't even know there was one.

[RonJonSurfer]

It was a live cut from some sort of benefit show I think.

They just played Leo Sayer, whom I once saw in concert just to impress a young lady.

There's another Buggles video on now....The Song???

[RonJonSurfer]

How about Celebrate The Bullet by Selecter?

Kind of a SKA/Reggae mix if you ask me!!

[RonJonSurfer]

Nazareth - Holiday

Stevie Nicks - Stop Draggin' My Heart Around

[Shawna]

good times. I remember music videos.

[RonJonSurfer]

Right now they are playing a live version of Little Sister. Robert plant on vocals and Rockpile with Dave edmunds on guitar. It is from the Concert for Kampuchea?

[RonJonSurfer]

Rainbow - All Night Long (nice cut)

[Tenacious_Peaches]

Brass in Pocket - The Pretenders

Ron, I just knew we'd end up watching this together. Pass that bottle, brother.

[RonJonSurfer]

The power stayed on after all....next blackout, NJ!!

Lot's of repeat videos.

[phil]

I remember the first VJ's especilly Nina Blackwood and Martha Quinn.

[Tenacious_Peaches]

Of course you do, phil.

[RonJonSurfer]

That's called a fantasy Phil...

[Tenacious_Peaches]

At least the guitar is hiding Kevin's junk this time.

[RonJonSurfer]

Can Michael Stanley be ending the 24 hours?

[Tenacious_Peaches]

Sweet Jesus, I hope not.

[Tenacious_Peaches]

I guess he did. That started with a bang and ended with a fizzle. Here's to 25 more, MTV.

[RonJonSurfer]

however...it's done...it was fun

I´m sure it is, they did play that song together at the Concert for Kampuchea...

[OLD 55]

some group called PhD doing "Little Susie's On The Up" (Anybody know anything about them???)

Thay were a UK Duo, Jim Diamond (born in Scotland) and Tony Hymas (don't know much about him). I've never heard of that song, their only Hit being "I Won't Let You Down", UK #3, Australia #5 in 1981.

Jim Diamond went solo and had a UK and Australian #1 with "I Should Have Known Better" - different to the Beatles' song - in 1984/5.

[RonJonSurfer]

Thanks for the info all....

[Jenny]

I missed it! I ended up having to run errands all evening and didn't get to watch it. Still, reading RonJon and Peachy's posts made me feel like I was there....now I'm having horrible visions of Kevin Cronin's package...AAAAAAAAHHHH!

[edna]

I know it´s not the same, Jenny, but I´m sure youtube has most of these videos...

[Tenacious_Peaches]

I've tried to find the REO sack video on YouTube for Jenny, but they didn't have it. Sorry, sister, you'll just have to imagine the scary bulge.

[RonJonSurfer]

I'm thinkin' you guys watch videos for a totally different reason than me.
