Bay Area-based The Tubes started producing theatrical rock & roll long before it was in vogue. They were the band born to make videos for MTV … but they were born just a bit too early.
That left their stage shows as epic events, with acrobats, dancers and other performers joining in the fun on a regular basis.
Their biggest hit to date, “Talk To Ya Later” was a Top 10 hit in 1981, and it was on the strength of that hit that The Tubes played Magic Mountain on October 29, 1982. Still to come was their biggest hit, 1983’s “She’s A Beauty.”
Best fish microphone I’ve ever seen.

It’s always fun to look back and see what’s in the vault. Great information on The Tubes and their presentation at Magic Mountain.
