Tom and Joey are kicking it out of the park. Should have been a hit. Sadly Pete left us a bit before this and Mr Evens shortly after, with a manager from hell who did nothing but MISMANAGE them dancing away with all the money!
Stan Polley was a monster! Tried stealing Peters life insurance after finding out he committed suicide, of course Peter tried calling him endless times with no response. He truly was disgusting.
@@cbennett196631it's not Badfinger without Tommy, Tommy was the other half of the writing team and the high Vocal harmonies. Integral part of Badfinger.
My old guitarist, Nick Lohri from NYC area, was hired as Pete Hamm’s original replacement. But then one of the member’s mom died and they scrapped the reunion, circa 1978. Nick would have been a perfect replacement…sang and wrote like Pete, played guitar, slide, keyboards and looked the part.
@@TheMarcusYukoFireHydrant Lol, but ìts always ticked when I watch it again. I guess me and the algorithm will keep on it till the video gets to a 100,000 watches, thats my goal.
It's really a shame how that rotten manager ruined what could've, should've & would've been. I loved Badfinger. When I got old enough to start buying records and albums, I couldn't find none of their material. Till this fella told me their story! I was 17 in 1979 when I found out. I remember hearing their music when I was 7 or so.
The band is obviously lipping, even though you can see the song is totally in their muscle memory, and they're all playing their instruments as if they were miked and live. The 1970s to the early 80s was a strange time for TV. There were so many variety shows which had musical guests (Dinah Shore, Mike Douglas, Carol Burnett, Soul Train, American Bandstand, etc.), but the bands ALWAYS LIP SYNCED. This performance is no exception. Pretty much the only place you could see live music on TV in the 70s was on a show called The Midnight Special. The guy that produced and ran that show just started posting clips from it on youtube.
used to seeJoey Molland at the Sink club in Liverpool, back in themid 60's. He was gorgeous and I always thought a little like Paul McCartney but even better.
@@lovelylinda15 I was joking about Merv. By the way - Joey Molland's new album "Be True to Yourself" is a great listen: czcams.com/video/v8rqLlmApk8/video.html
@@lovelylinda15 Blimey, I thought it was an older fella they had in, but he obviously went very grey quick, unless he was dying it in Yes only 10 years earlier- on closer inspection, he's not otherwise old looking!
@@RainbowCharade When Joey and Tom split the original Badfinger up in 1981, both started their own version of the band. In 1982, Tom recruited original drummer Mike Gibbons and Bob Jackson (who had temporarily replaced Pete Ham). In the summer of 1982 Tom had signed contracts with a promoter in Milwaukee that were just as bad as the contracts Badfinger had signed with Stan Polley. The band was housed in an unfurnished model home and told to rehearse. The only gigs they could get were a few bars and some Elks lodge type venues, including the infamous appearance on the late night shock horror tv show. The band quit and returned to England. Joey Molland had also had Tom Evans blacklisted by the musicians union in America, preventing Tom from touring as Badfinger in the US. Then in 1983 the Milwaukee promoter sued Tom for 5 million dollars for breach of contract. Then Joey Molland sued Tom for back royalties from the original Badfinger albums. The stress from these lawsuits caused Tom Evans to commit suicide in November 1983.
Tommy Evans...one of the greatest musicians & songwriters. Ever.
Joey was touring until just a a month or so ago because his adoring wife passed away. Heart goes out to you. You are awesome!
Joeys wife Kathy, passed away in 2009.
so sorry

Yup. I got the reference: "Zaentz can't dance but he'll steal your money."
Stan Polley was a monster! Tried stealing Peters life insurance after finding out he committed suicide, of course Peter tried calling him endless times with no response. He truly was disgusting.
I don't believe there is such an indictment as "Third Degree Murder"... But there should be-- for the parties responsible for such thievery.
Even post Pete, and without Mike, this version of Badfinger was still good and should have gotten more play
Radio records slacked off on promoting the group and the album.
Absolutely they rocked 💥
Tom was in top form.
It’s NOT Badfinger without Pete….end of story
@@cbennett196631it's not Badfinger without Tommy, Tommy was the other half of the writing team and the high Vocal harmonies. Integral part of Badfinger.
Joey and Tommy ! Shredding pure rock and roll
RIP Tommy
This is rock n roll. Period!
Saw this incarnation of them live at Graham Central Station in Phoenix in 1981. Great show! RIP Tommy, Pete and Mike.

Man this tune is growing on me!
This album is quite good. NOt sure why people didn't like it....I"ve owned it for years and got it cheap. I still enjoy it.
This whole band was so talented. This song should of had more air play.
Wow, what a great find! I'm already addicted to it!
Wish you were here is the album to check out..
@@TheMarcusYukoFireHydrant will definitely do that, thank you!
How can I give this performance a million thumbs up?
Watch it a million times 💥

Poor Tom Evans ...😢
How was this not a hit?
Eram músicos maravilhosos!
Absolutely loved this album. These guys were so friggin good and so underrated.
Tony Kaye !
an unknown classic, great band they were
That’s Tony Kaye formerly of yes on the keys!
I thought so thanks
Yup.....lots of folks don't know that......
The true successors of The Beatles
Yes, and the Beatles liked them so much they released at least one of their LPs (No Dice) on their Apple Records label.
@@steverose7782no,5 albums, last on apple label was Ass... and Pete's farewell song to Apple was Apple of my eye...
Great classic rock sound !!!
Wow! Love this!
Love this video!
love Badfinger...but these guys aren't plugged in...

Tom & Joey during last Badfinger album
Commercial release. Say No More.
“I Got You”
I think Tom Evans had a passing resemblance to George Harrison.
Great album 🟢
Badfinger would have been huge, HUGE, what a shame a bad agent ruined everything.
Like how Joey always mugs for the camera

Over a third of the way now. Keep her going!
Ok, lets get this video to 100k views! I'm doing my part. 😅
Great tune,not Badfinger....not without Pete...not without Tom.
You tell it !!! :)
That's Tom.
The guy with the Flying V is annoying. Kept trying to steal the attention from Joey and Tommy. He should have stayed side of the stage.
A young, obnoxious Carrot Top before he switched to 'comedy'...
hardly Badfinger
Who is Flying V?

That is so good
Then they were on that horrible low budget t.v. show with that annoying character almost making fun of them ...smh.
Bob Jackson was hired to be Pete Hams replacement in the UK. Bob went on to make Head First as Badfinger and Joey quit the band.
They didn’t need that clown on guitar in the background
wow, so glad i found this-Badfinger forever
Holiday Road.
Had Luke Skywalker remained on Tatooine.
rock of ages one of my fave songs could have been Macca himself, of course Joey did a good Macca impersonation himself looks wise
Was Pete Hamm gone by this time? I dont recognize him in this clip
Yes, Tom & Joey tried to carry on after Pete passed.
Notfinger.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🇧🇷
Pete Ham is not in this line up!???
This is after Pete died.
Pete did suicide in 1975.
This is from 1981. Ham committed suicide in 1975.
The kid with the black Flying V style guitar is a bit too much.
Tony Kaye?!
Tom and Pete kee po
Where is Mike Gibbons ????? Long Live Pete Ham !
Mike joined Tom's version of Badfinger after Joey and Tom split up. He quit after the disaster in Wisconsin.

Moland es un payaso... él no es badfinger, lo que le hizo a Tom fue terrible
Sorry but that's not Badfinger not with out Pete.
The song is a bit dull. Great musicians though
*... a bit like Genesis without Gabriel*
Pues no, no me gusta el grupo, gritan mucho, bien dice el dicho… “segundas partes, nunca serán mejores” hacen mucha falta las voces de Pete y Mike
