This was put on and sponsored by the now defunct Boston radio station WBCN. The winner of the Boston Rock n Roll Rumble 1983 won a record contract and radio airplay. Of course Aimee Mann & Til Tuesday won. Also The Del Fuegos, a known early to mid 80's band was the runner-up. The rest was history for 'Til Tuesday with the release of the album Voices Carry with 3 singles Looking Over My Shoulder, Voices Carry and a early big New England area hit Love in a Vacuum. Also Peter Wolfe of J. Geils Band started out as a DJ at WBCN. The sponsor of this event. Rock n Roll history with this old video.
@@swise63 Agree. I've lived my whole life about 35 minutes outside of Boston. Seen the Del Fuegos and Til Tuesday about 3 times each back in the early to mid 80's. Del Fuegos were like J Geils live. A party band. Del Fuegos were great live.
Wow - this must've been long before the curse of the Rumble started happening. In the 90's, it started turning into this thing where anyone who won the Rumble SHOULD have gone on to prominence, but never did. The runners up had a better chance ha
Me too, and I've been a tt fan since the 80s! Shame on the record company for suppressing/Not releasing these songs! But at the same time, what a nice surprise.
Great sound, never heard her sing that high. Filmed with a decade old camera harvested off of the unused lunar rover from the cancelled Apollo 18 mission.
Also I was lucky enough to go to WBCN'S 25 Anniversary Private Party w/Aerosmith. WBCN sponsored this Rock & Roll Rumble 1983 video. These were good times back in the early to mid 80's seeing Til Tuesday and the Del Fuegos in their early days before hitting big time.
its funny that bands work so hard to find that stardom and then when they do they start to miss the times when they were competing in the battle of the bands contest's in local bars when they were just starting out. i bet if aimee watched this 2 day she would say,,wow they were the good ole days,,i miss them
@@TomYaz I mean is highly possible it happens all the time I had guitars and equipment stolen on the road, a friend of mine's band had their whole trailer stolen when they were at a hotel.
'til Tuesday was a great band. Voices Carry was one of my Summer of 1985 songs. I posted a video on my channel spinning a Til Tuesday song from their 3rd and final album a few weeks back. TY for posting this. Got to see them open for Hall and Oates in concert in 1985 and I was hooked.
Most of the songs from this appearance never made it to one of their studio albums due to record label execs "not hearing a hit". They are all hits to us Til Tuesday fans. This is a rare find indeed! I saw Aimee Mann in concert in 2024 and she has aged so wonderfully, both in appearance and in vocals and songwriting. What a true gem.
Heck … I love this whole track list so much, I saved your nice audio here as mp3 just so I can listen all the time! Really wish they recorded these for an album.
What a great moment in Boston rock history. This woulda been late May I’m pretty sure, with the incredible summer of 1983 soon follow, which was flat out owned by The Police’s Synchronicity tour. Joey with his freak flag little pony tail🙌🏻💯⚡️😃
It's a shame the record label that produce there music didn't add on all theses unreleased songs on to an album . Theses song's was awesome. The record company let a good band fad away. Aimee Mann and the band had a lot more music to share and the record label couldn't even back them.
Amazing how much better they got by the time they did the NYC concert that is on here. Don't get me wrong, they were good on this one. But absolutely stellar on the NYC show. What a difference 3 years makes.
Joey Joey Joey ..siiigh ..whatever happened to him !? Not to mention 3/4 of their set was practically their follow-up album !! Oh what could have been !?!! EXCELLENT SET !!
Sadly, not one song from the setlist/video above made the "cut" on their debut LP. This is incredible because, the songs above along with many others that they wrote and performed at their live shows were KILLER! There are studio versions of a bunch really incredible songs that were recorded for the Voices Carry LP. Only 10 songs can be chosen. IMO, there were much better choices than what made the final cut. "From A Distance" (2nd song of the video above) is among the most overlooked . Ditto for "Learning You By Heart" and "Boy". I'm sure that the EPIC Exec's weighed in song selection. All said, GREAT LP !!
I'm looking for the whjy Providence performance around the same year 1983. I see this is Boston wbcn but I'm talking about HJY. Anyone can help I would be so appreciative thank you

aimee mann was something else. just look at her! slapping the bass, singing,..and looking like that.
lord have mercy!
I DID THE LIGHTS FOR THIS SHOW! I was a kid at the time. almost 18 years old! I was there in the DJ booth! I wish I had a credit on this.
you did better than most of their light shows which I found distracting, good job!
Awesome man, lighting for Mann, lol Awesome for you to have been able to be there.
Good job
Epic!!

This video really shows off Aimee Mann's groovy bass playing. It's just what I've been looking for.
Hated it when she hired a bass player and started just singing.
Track List:
1. Learning You By Heart
2. From A Distance
3. Boy (also known as "I'll Wait For You")
4. Just Like Me
5. You Just Can't Give It Up
6. Out of the Question
7. Are You Serious?
It’s a shame some of these songs never made it to release, I really like the funkier stuff from them!

Til Tuesday obviously had far more commercial success but I always thought that the Fuegos were a much better live band.

Actually, the Sex Execs were the runners up not the Del Fuegos. czcams.com/video/K8-Px7EsK2Q/video.html

Back when local radio cared and mattered.
1980s fashion was the best. The best ten years of my life growing up in the 80s. And the best music.
80 age the fashion was amazing i leave this age, today people are idiots
I was born in 2000 but I agree that 1980s were the best
Til Tuesday had only been together roughly 6 months at this point and they were already this good. They ended up winning this battle of the bands.
More funky material at this point in their history, and nice slap bass going on.
Most of the Boston pop bands had great slap playing during those days. It was a lot of fun.
I didn't know Amiee was such a great bass player. Impressive
And singing at the same time. That is not easy. Just saw her in Cinci late Feb 24. She had aged so gracefully. What a talent!
wow only learning of their unreleased earlier songs now.. im totally blown away!! x
Me too, and I've been a tt fan since the 80s! Shame on the record company for suppressing/Not releasing these songs! But at the same time, what a nice surprise.
the film naturally broken make this video cooler!!
love 80's!! love til tuesday!!!
Joe Pesce was the heart of the band, his keyboard riffs were unique.
they sound so good here. even these early songs are strong and catchy and she's pro all the way. they were destin
Great sound, never heard her sing that high. Filmed with a decade old camera harvested off of the unused lunar rover from the cancelled Apollo 18 mission.
With a potato for a lens...
Man Aimee really can groove on bass
I miss the 80s!!!
this is actually amazing

Wow... Such Rock and Roll history. You could tell already, that Amiee and the band were going places...
Such talent.
its funny that bands work so hard to find that stardom and then when they do they start to miss the times when they were competing in the battle of the bands contest's in local bars when they were just starting out. i bet if aimee watched this 2 day she would say,,wow they were the good ole days,,i miss them
Unfortunately Chris, I respectfully disagree. As a huge tt fan, I wish that she did ☺
Ohhh, that bass line...
Cool bass line she's got there on the opening song.
Absolutely hated it when she hired a touring bass player and just sang she's a great bass player that just destroyed me was like whhhhhyyyy!!!??
Somebody told me that her bass was stolen before the show after sound check. I’m not sure how true that is

I believe that was the Big Bam Boom Tour 1985 Hall & Oates w/Til Tuesday.
Don't 👀 turn away and listen ! The music is great !
Most of the songs from this appearance never made it to one of their studio albums due to record label execs "not hearing a hit". They are all hits to us Til Tuesday fans. This is a rare find indeed! I saw Aimee Mann in concert in 2024 and she has aged so wonderfully, both in appearance and in vocals and songwriting. What a true gem.
This tape should be re digitize with a time base corrector. the colors and distortion will probably be corrected.
Heck … I love this whole track list so much, I saved your nice audio here as mp3 just so I can listen all the time! Really wish they recorded these for an album.
*OH look , its The Young Snakes* !!!!!!! Met AMY and Newbury comics in 1982
What a great moment in Boston rock history. This woulda been late May I’m pretty sure, with the incredible summer of 1983 soon follow, which was flat out owned by The Police’s Synchronicity tour. Joey with his freak flag little pony tail🙌🏻💯⚡️😃
Wow! Overall great performance from the whole band. Really enjoy the great bass playing and the drummer killed it-doesn’t miss a beat. 👍🏻🤙🏻🎸🥁
WOW!!!!!!
It's a shame the record label that produce there music didn't add on all theses unreleased songs on to an album . Theses song's was awesome. The record company let a good band fad away. Aimee Mann and the band had a lot more music to share and the record label couldn't even back them.
Wow... Amiee was a damned good bass player...
I’m so impressed & FOMOd out right now dude Aimee’s Godly 🌹
this band was distroied by the record company .. the were great at til 86 ..
Amazing how much better they got by the time they did the NYC concert that is on here. Don't get me wrong, they were good on this one. But absolutely stellar on the NYC show. What a difference 3 years makes.
Joey Joey Joey ..siiigh ..whatever happened to him !? Not to mention 3/4 of their set was practically their follow-up album !! Oh what could have been !?!!
EXCELLENT SET !!
I know, we loved him, and his bass synth on the moog source, he is a a sculptor now believe it or not.
He became a sculptor and still resides in MA.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!! i love Til Tuesday/Aimee Mann!
Thanks for posting this! Great Musicianship!

Amazing Funk Rock.
Awesome upload, many thanks! Anyone have the full track list, by any chance?
I was there
where can I find "You Still Love Me From A Distance (Live In Boston 1984)" and "Winning The War (Live In Boston 1985)"
I was at this . 😎
This is awesome! Very cool! Jim - any chance you have the set from The Alarm (special guest at end of the night)?
Were these songs released on LP at all anywhere? Would love to hear the studio versions of these.

Learning you by heart is my jam 4 life
Duran Duran feels

Great to hear these songs live. Are you originally from Lexington?
I really want a wife like her
The entire city did, man. We ALL did.
sounds like a polished record.
Linda linda linda linda linda linda linda
Who's Linda?
Were Joey, Robert, and Michael there?
I'm looking for the whjy Providence performance around the same year 1983. I see this is Boston wbcn but I'm talking about HJY. Anyone can help I would be so appreciative thank you
Tracking!!!! It’s the Blair Witch New Wave band!!
WBCN!
Who knew Aimee Mann did some slap?
DID THIS DRUMMER GO ON TO PLAY WITH TEARS FOR FEARS?
He did not...Michael Hausman DID, however, go onto be Aimee Mann's manager (among many other big artists).
ウキョー🤣我慢汁出ちゃう🤭
unwatchable due to VHS tracking but audio is fine
You're a pampered child.
the video keeps trackingand flickering this isn't a complaint about VHS itself, its about how poorly THIS VHS video was recorded@@Teeveepicksures
