I first saw Mitch play at P.T. Flagg's in Baltimore around 1990 when he was fronting his first band called Honor Among Thieves. They were very young, but very good and you could see the star power -- he's a tremendous live performer. Thanks for the post (Now if I could just find Honor Among Thieve's only album titled "Grow"...)
This is a great song, best version I heard was when they were in town 4 years ago and played an acoustic version on the radio. Wish I had recorded that.
his voice is just so great. Especially his face when he sings. (i love the bridge after the second chorus:) its the sex i miss the most. hahaha. great song and great band. i hope they come back truly :)
the song is on the album Here we go again which is the same album 1985 was on as well. So considering its the same band the songs would have the same style.
it is live but as you may have noticed you cant hear anything but the band and the drums are pretty soft, which probably means that they recorded it through there audio equipment directly rather than letting the sound hit the air and then record it through a mic. Just a guess though, still bands that sound good live are the best.
Similar style, similar songs (imo) from around the same location, childhood friends.... they should have combined to form a super group... Bowling for SR-71? D:
They didn't. Mitch just decided to take a bit of a leave of absence to work on music production and such. He helped Bowling for Soup and other bands write and produce songs. They aren't broken up, just on Hiatus.
they didnt break up just they had some health issues a little while back and mitch allan is busy with his solo album and another band called something to live for but they still do a few shows a year
If I'm not mistaken, the audio sounds too 'studio' for this to be actual live music. The band's obviously performing, but it looks like it was dubbed over by the studio song, still sounds excellent though.
Jordi Danen late comment here but it was because all pop punk bands at the time were getting dropped by their labels. Mitch had to sell the song to get by :( they would definitely have been still around if they had released it themselves.
It took me forever to find this song on Limewire and when i finally did it has this tambourine in the background that makes it sound like a Christmas song and totally ruins it!
Is it weird that my ex girlfriend listens to this song like she can relate to it even though I can relate to every line and she cant relate to any of it unless you isolate single lines?
Been searching for the performance of Mosquito at X Games for ever. Seen it broadcasted and fell in love with the band.
One of the meanest breakup songs ever...I love it.
Pop punk... i love it 2019.... now im 27 years old. BOLIVIA.

Bowling for SR-71? D:
SR-71 actually wrote and recorded the original version of 1985 made famous by Bowling For Soup!
I miss SR-71, they were dead before they really began. :(
I really like this song. SR-71 is definately a good band. And lookey, there's Mike Ruocco from Cinder Road. =]
And I believe that Pat Patrick from Cinder Road is there too. ...wowie. lol
I love this song and this band! =)
This man make some fire riffs Right Now like my favorite riff to play
Mitch is awesome.
They didn't. Mitch just decided to take a bit of a leave of absence to work on music production and such. He helped Bowling for Soup and other bands write and produce songs. They aren't broken up, just on Hiatus.

Check out the bassist Mike Ruocco!! His band Cinder Road totally kicks ass. His solo material is just as good.
and brother of Lisa Ruocco the wife of Alex Gaskarth from All Time Low
love this
awesome song my fav band
Wish there were more live videos up on youtube. Live videos are the best :o
this is my fav band............for now
And for now?
Live from the future.
Sweet song. Good to know these guys are still kicking.
...no. They were SR 71 before Cinder Road. Now Mitch is working on a solo album called "Clawing My Way To The Middle."
I wish they'd come to Germany! Love them!!!
its a well good song~
sender frankie
@GamePat23 The band usually tries play a show or two right around Thanksgiving every year (in MD).
pretty close, but the chorus is different. I like this song better than 1985
BfS and sr71 definatley sound similar.
Sr-71 are less pop than Bfs, for sure. Love both bands tho! ❤️
sr-71 recorded the song on one of the records, they just gave it away later because it really sounds like a bowling song
If I'm not mistaken, the audio sounds too 'studio' for this to be actual live music.
The band's obviously performing, but it looks like it was dubbed over by the studio song, still sounds excellent though.
That's just how good they are!!
:: The best song! the best video!! ::
Sr-71 is the best fuckin band baby :D
That riff go hard
lol everytime i see jaret (Bowling For Soup) i think its a copy of mitch
and bassist of bfs looks really like the one from sr71
I wish i could find a tour schedule of these guys somewhere. I have been looking for about 2 months now with no luck.
mitch allans pretty blunt with his lyrics says what he mean
you could try amazon or sr-71's website.
they sound really great live
:: yheaaaa my favorite song of SR-71 ::
There pretty good live I'll have to see if I can got to a concert
greeeeeeaaaaaat =D
very nice
EARGASM!
i really like them maybe one day they will come back
i love how bowling for soup did a cover of sr-71''s 1985 because the singers sound like eachother xd
Jordi Danen late comment here but it was because all pop punk bands at the time were getting dropped by their labels. Mitch had to sell the song to get by :( they would definitely have been still around if they had released it themselves.
SR-71 RULES!!!

It took me forever to find this song on Limewire and when i finally did it has this tambourine in the background that makes it sound like a Christmas song and totally ruins it!

mosquito.. i am.. :)
2019
SR-71 OWNZ! s/-/!T therey so awesome!
Can someone please tag my cheating ex
I think they're playing 100% live because his voice is really different in the CD version thing.
@GuitarXer Well, they ARE back! :D
how long till they are back
why the hell does this have barely over 100K views?! SR-71 is so amazing, it's a mystery why so few people know about them ):
they're a lot similar to bowling for soup, even their voice and appearance
emily b they sold 1985 to bowling for soup
Trainer Red I think they r brothers
The first RUclips comment I've ever seen that has they're and their in it and they're both used correctly lol
their best live...
how long is this ago?
jeff buckley's t-shirt =)
hey i got a question u no in goodbye?

@SkinHella
Totally worth it. I don't even care if he or she deserved it, the awesome timing was definitely worth it
Umm well mitch is doing a solo thing and hes getting the guys From SR to help him out so its not complealy over :)
lol :P have fun :P
o :( dam

Is it weird that my ex girlfriend listens to this song like she can relate to it even though I can relate to every line and she cant relate to any of it unless you isolate single lines?
pwnage song again Xd
weird, the guy sorta sounds like weird al...
I thought Mitch wrote the song for BFS?
TJRy12921 That might be 1985 you're thinking about. Also, imo, SR-71's version of that is arguably the best
2013 !
@GamePat23 temporary inactive. but I think there will never be reunion and it's fucking saddest thing I ever thought about :(
Александр Богданов i wish they would tour again and come to deltona fl
This is Mitch ?
Y DID U GUY`S BREAK UP :(

I get disappointed when I see the people in the front not all singing or even acting interested :(
weezilla I KNOW RIGHT???!!!! i f*cking love SR-71
Ha "shit happens" I'll drink to that. you should have put them on a player if you had one but if you didn't, life's a bitch and then you die.
