    Hoboken NJ was really happening back then. I attended a few concerts in various apartments. The neighbors joined in. No one cared and even brought their rugrats. Lots of immigrants got their first taste of Rock and Roll this way. We raised the rent this way or sometimes just did a benefi for someone sick without insurance. The Feelies were a big part of that scene. They were amazing, especially when they did Patty Smith covers and the like. Hung out with a combo of deadheads and alt people of every stripe. No one had labels, you just came, drank, toked (If that was your thing) and danced like no one was watching.

    Bought the album "Time for a witness" the same year it was published,I saw the video and it was love at first listening.
    I was 17 ,had my peer group and we were discovering the music i still enjoy most: Gun Club,Dream Syndicate,Plimsouls,True West,Wall of voodoo.
    We were young,skaters,lived near the beach.
    We felt invincible

    Saw them last summer (2018) at the Cat's Cradle in Carrboro, NC. I only know a few of their songs, but two friends are huge fans and brought me along. I think they played for 2+ hours and every song was rockin'. Man, it was impressive and a really, really great night out. What a band, still making it happen many years down the line. Thank you for a wonderful performance that night!

      @@speedy1227 True, and a shame. They were available on streaming for a short while after the Bar None reissues first came out, but they were pulled for whatever reason-I assume because they licensed those records from A&M.

    True story: My College housemate used to work in a Records store in SF. And while he was in town Bono came into his shop before closing, to pick a few new thrills from American Music before going back to Ireland. One of them was of The Feelies, and asked about why them, he said.
    "First time we heard them was in NYC and we couldn't believe how good these kids were... and from New Jersey? We thought they were trying to play some kind of nerds joke on us, with some Devo class band in disguise, but they were the real thing... it was very HUMBLING listening to them. I still do."

    Get yourself back up
    From the ground
    What you want and
    What you need
    What you got
    Enough to succeed
    Looking for reality
    Afore it gets the best of me
    Wake me up and
    Don't be late
    Don't sit around
    Around and vegetateOh and we're going ...
    HomeI
    I don't know
    what's up ahead
    Don't think too much
    it'll hurt your head
    Take a walk
    all over town
    Curiosity abounds
    Take me down
    the road a ways
    Let me in
    don't make me pay
    Call me down
    don't make a fuss

    seat on the busOh and we're going ...

      Well fortunately...unlike many of their peers...the Feelies are still around, still performing and are better than ever. Tours are somewhat intermittent but they have a solid fan base and really electrify the relatively small venues they perform in. Super tight and a really really excellent live act. Have seen them half a dozen times in the past decade and every show has been excellent.

    musically, the 80's sucked as far as mainstream and radio music. only "underground" bands were the only thing i listened to in those day. The Feelies were my favorite. i was listening to U2 and REM when my friends were saying "who the f@#k is U2 and REM?" The Feelies were the best band to never reach critical acclaim!
