The Smithereens - "Top Of The Pops" video free download

Frank Lima

What a great clip of a GREAT band - btw I do love Bun E Carlos as a drummer but Dennis Diken is the world greatest rock & roll drummer - his name is synonymous with The Hal Blaine's Bobby Graham's, Buddy Saltzman's, Jim Keltner's,Jim Gordon's, Ringo's, Mick Avory's, Kenny Jones's in rock & roll to name but a few - Dennis is Top pf the pops - god save the Smithereens!

A fucking ton of heavy hits.

Right on the money (above)...this band is totally under rated! I try and catch them whenever their in Michigan!

I played on the same circuit with these guys in the early 80s; not only a great band but a NICE bunch of guys, which is rare in that scene.

Tonya Johnson

This band helped me get through the eighties...These guys were so much better than so many bands around that timeI Love Pats' vocals.And the band has always been a tight unit !

I always had a little thing for Pat DiNizio! Love this band!

I've followed them since the beginning and continue to see them live around here in Jersey...their anniversary concert in Carteret was incredible...they continue to involve their fans, and I'm still shocked that people will mention Springsteen, Bon Jovi yet fail to acknowlege the contributions of this band, whose music i think holds up far better throughout time. Springsteen can be so political and dated, and Bon Jovi is a great 80's flashback, but today...really? Give it up for The Smithereens!

Wolf Savage

Great band, great performance! They were one of the reasons I started playing guitar. Oh, and Dennis Miller is a complete dick, as evidenced in this video.

professorjams

They reached me.

Soozi inCa

I have always had a little thing for Pat DiNizio.....EVEN since he gained his weight!

John Lancaster

I was in the green room during this performance taped around 4-5pm .Then I inivited the guys to come my bands gig later that night in Hollywood. Pat, Jim and Dennis showed up (Mike was a bit under the weather) Had a few beers with them after our show and talked about how boring this new thing called "grunge" was.Later hooked up with Mike and Dennis who came to a show in NYC while I was touring. Very cool guys.

I've talked to them after gigs a few times. I also went to one of Pat's "Birthday Concerts" (10/2008) at his house.THAT was an interesting experience... I don't know if it was it was close to Halloween, but Pat's living room looked like a shrine to horror movies. The catering ? Pizza and cans of beer, all included in the 50.00 ticket. Very unpretentious, and very welcome.

Also (and I must always mention this), they are some of the nicest guys you will ever meet. Very, very good to their fans.
