I saw John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown band for $8.00 at a county fair. The movie just came out. I dragged one of my sons to go with me to see the!m.He was in 8th grade. He is now 45 and I am 70. I loved it.
Unfortunately have not seen Cafferty. I did however see Pink Floyd for $9.00 in 76. In 78, Clapton, $20 bucks. Just saw Santana 3 weeks ago, $50 bucks. I'm 66 & still going to concerts. Now I'm in a wheelchair, but it's NOT stopping me! 🎶🎶
@@sandiesullivandriggers3587 ,you have seen alot of good groups. One other group I saw was ShaNaNa and also Big and Rich. I also saw the Dirty Dancing dancers on tour. My husband and I now go to see tribute bands near us. V ery enjoyable.
@@annlouisescheuer1979 I really have been blessed! But I'm right in between Tampa & Orlando. So we get alot of the good ones. We've seen the Eagles 6 times. Even from way back when Henley & Frye were in Linda Ronstadt's band. Same with Bob Seger, Fleetwood Mac, Boston, Stevie Nick's, Hall & Oates, Sting when was with the Police, Yes, Jethro Tull, Kiss, I still have my ticket stubs. This Sunday we're going to see James Taylor and Jackson Browne. ✌️
Wow,that is amazing you have seen so many outstanding groups. We could never afford the tickets ,so we go to the tribute bands but they are very good, but not as good as the real thing.Im very happy for you.
@@annlouisescheuer1979 I've just been in the right place, right time. Plus Disney is 30 minutes up the road. Saw Chuck Berry there. Cypress Gardens (now Legoland) was here in town. We saw Styx, Pat Benatar - I don't even remember everyone. We took the kids to Styx & Pat Benatar. Gotta start 'em off right. 🎶✌️
Me too lol. I was 13 when this came out. In 52 and I still sit and listen to this stuff. I introduced my boy and his friends to it when they weren't even teens yet and they still listen to it too.... Good music is truly timeless ❤️
Urban Cowboy, Officer and a gentleman, Eddie and the cruisers, Pretty in pink, Breakfast Club, Less than zero, class, Top Gun. All classic 80s movies. Miss this time ERA.
I’m seeing John Cafferty and The Beaver Brown Band in May 2023……I can’t wait! This movie and the songs were my late husband’s favorite and May would’ve been his 64th birthday. Sitting in the 3rd row.
I'll never forget this haunting tale, an excellent movie with great music..... I saw it when it first came out in the early 1980's and it seems like yesterday.
One of the criticisms of the movie is that the songs don’t sound early ‘60s, but I think that’s the point. Eddie was supposed to be ahead of his time, so it makes sense that the music would be as well.
in the late 80's I went on an audition for a wedding/party band , and On the Dark Side was one of the audition songs , I played it with a BIG Smile on my face , the guy who ran the band turned and looked at me after the song and said WOW ! I told him this song is in my blood.
Agreed! If you like creature features check out Bad Moon with him! Pretty good werewolf movie. I still watch both the Eddie and The Cruisers movies and like them as much as I did the first time I watched them.
I remember I first saw him in a co-staring role in greatest american hero tv series. he plays one of Ralph's high school students. then Eddie and the cruisers and street of fire came along. the only movies people remember him from was Eddie 1 and 2, streets of fire, and the underrated sci-fi movie The Philadelphia Experiment.
How can you say John cafferty doesn't get enough credit every time they talk about Eddie and the cruisers movie either the first one or the second one who's John cafferty and the Beaver Brown band
If you like Eddie and the Cruisers. Watch a movie called Streets Of Fire it's one of the best movies ever made. It's my number one favorite movie ever. Michael Pare stars in it, the same actor that plays Eddie Wilson in Eddie and the Cruisers. Must watch Streets Of at least once. I garuntee you won't be disappointed.
The scene on the deck at Tony Marts brings back memories that’s Somers Pt NJ. I live right near there. I remember the filming, in the bar they used all locals. Great bar, it closed a few years later. His Son Carmen still produces shows and local events
The two movies were great. Watched them when they came out in theaters. It was great back then. Just like star wars..waiting till the next one came on standing in line. ❤❤
Oh my goodness i loved this movie! My husband and i use to watch it a lot together. Actually have it on DVD. Makes me want to watch it again. Brings back some sweet memories of my husband and i. He's been gone for almost 14 years need some sentimental memories brought back to life. Can't believe how long ago it was when this movie came out.
I was born in 1980 and I remember watching this movie when I was under 10 years old it’s one of my family’s favorite all round movies and part two was even better. My parents brother and sister could watch this movie over and over and never get tired of it.After my older sister and younger Brother had their children they were brought up on this movie as well ,it’s a family tradition and a right of passage to see this movie as a family.My dad is one of 8 kids and one of my uncles looked lost like Michael Pere and had Bruce Springsteen‘s voice exactly the same raspy voice Springsteen with the mustache which he always had which me picked up when He was on the special forces stationed at Fort Bragg.The women in my family loved my uncle Fabian because he couid have been a Eddie and the cruisers look alike it was crazy how he looked identical and sounded just like Eddie from Eddie and the cruisers. This is back when the tv show “Tour of duty” was on in the 1980s that the intro to the tv show was paint it black by the stones and we also loved that tv show it just reminds me of the good old days when there was no worry’s past being a kid it was a beautiful time and these 2 movies were a huge part of our youth. Michael Pare did such a good job to paring his singing to Bruce Springsteen s voice that we always thought he was really singing. Now days you can pick it apart and see a few times in the movie that kinda look odd but who cares great performance. I also agree Michael Pare made his mark in these films and is an underrated actor. It’s Like Michael Pare did such a good job in this movie it’s like he can only be seen as this character the same way Daniel Radcliffe will always be Harry Potter and it’s hard to see him as anything else without seeing Harry Potter. It’s like he did to good in this part,casting for the role of Eddie really just nailed it when looking for actors for these films.It’s rare to see an actor meant for a role and if the movie sucked all around it was Michael Pare being cast that made this movie at all and there’s notable actors in the first movie like Tom Behringer and the other dude that played cipher in the matrix part one who also is a good actor as well. I have so many memories of this movie it marked much of my youth and loved showing my friends who had never seen it. I love the mystique of Eddie’s character it’s the best part of the movie,they made him seem like you could only have Eddie but only on his terms so he was right in front of you but not touchable and in a moment he might just disappear into obscurity and you lose him. It really just created a great dynamic around his character, It’s like falling in love with the Music of Stevie Ray Vaughan and seeing his show the night before then you turn on the radio to hear he died in a helicopter accident. This movie always reminds me of SRV and the loss of what could have been,Stv was to great for us to have him long as is the case in most things. I can only imagine what could have been although he did leave behind for the world a true gift of music
HI I REMBER THIS I WAS YOUNG AT THE TIME SO MISS THIS I GOT MY BOYS TO SEE THIS MOVIE IT WAS THE GREATES TIME NOW NOTHING THEY NEED TO BRING THIS BACK THANK YOU SO MUCH I WAS AT MY LOWEST THIS BRUGHT ME BACK GOD BLESS YOU 69 YEARS OLD FROM ALBUQ MY NAME IS G.G. THANK YOU FOR BRING THIS BACK
In the interests of accuracy, Eddie and The Cruisers is a fictional story about a fictional band. John Cafferty and The Beaver Brown Band is the actual band playing the music in this story. So, props to John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band.
"In the interests of accuracy, Eddie and The Cruisers is a fictional story about a fictional band. John Cafferty and The Beaver Brown Band is the actual band playing the music in this story." Except for The Cruisers' fictional Sax player, Wendell Newton...... He is played by Beaver Browns' ACTUAL Sax player Michael "Tunes" Antunes. Now, who did not know that?
This movie was one of my favorites back during my freshman year at Ferris State College in Big Rapids, Michigan back in 1984. John Caffertys music was part of my college soundtrack. And four years later, Eddie & The Cruisers 2 came out with more of Cafferys music to end my college years EDDIE LIVES!!
Some of the major scenes for these movies were filmed in Somers Point, NJ. It was pretty exciting at the time. Six of my close friends and the 57 Chevey that was owned by one of them were in the movie and they had a ball.
When I saw this movie it had drama ,mystery, and great rock and roll music. Love everything about it I thought it was based on a true story the ending bugged the hell out of me.
I love this scene. Wordman is reminiscing on the origins of On The Dark Side and how the song has come full circle...from a hit song on the radio to obscurity with Eddie's disappearance, back to being popular again with the resurgence of Eddie And The Cruisers II. I love the whole film, but this scene is my favorite. #WordsAndMusic

Subtly iconic... that's what comes to my mind. The movie flopped at the box office (I saw it in release), went to cable and the movie and soundtrack blew up huge a year later. It hardly ever gets acknowledged mainstream but it seems everyone knows the music, the movie and this one scene here is everyone's favorite.
@@ronaldh8446 You know what's wild is as I am responding to your comment, On The Dark Side just came on the radio. For real, 100.7 in San Diego. It's chilling in a great way. Anyhow, I was going to tell you that Corey Taylor covered it live!! It's awesome. ruclips.net/video/3c96pzt3Rzc/видео.htmlsi=91qLK9xCCtj5wm5F
John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band was my 1st concert. My parents took me to a bar to see them some time around 1996 when I was in my early teens, and damn they were good! Concert changed my life in how I experience music.
It's funny how some things in your life resonate. They hit a spot in your heart and spirit. It is always beyond description. All of a sudden. Like when the Tom Berenger character suddenly gets that rhythm. That style of playing. It all gels. Eddie and the Cruisers and its follow up sequel had moments like that. More importantly, it had the music which rocked. Made you move. Joyfully. As a wannabe but never did musician I get those moments. That feeling in the music. That music. It is infectious. I love those moments when Wendell like when starts riffing on that sax. Almost everyone joins in except for Joe Pantoliano - who is always so great at playing a creepazoid character. I knew people like these folks. Who just lived for the music. Pare played his part perfectly. I also know that initial scene moment when Berenger hears the tribute band with Sal - which rings hollow compared to what he remembered - thegreat times he had, and the people he knew. Nothing beats those memories. And those feelings. Thank you, Armen, for this post.
Tom Berenger's second movie, following "Looking For Mr Goodbar" with Diane Keaton. Michael Pare "was" Eddie. That was the role he was meant to play. Think this was Ellen Barkin's 2nd or 3rd movie after her breakout "Diner" in '82. Michael Antunes, Wendell, the sax player, was a member of 'John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band', that supplied the Cruisers music. Love this movie.
DON'T GIVE UP!!!!😢😢THE WORLD NEEDS UPLIFTING MUSIC NOW MORE THAN EVER😢😢WE NEED TO UNITE TOGETHER IN GOD & MUSIC ALWAYS' BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER ❤❤MANY PRAYERSNLUV 😇😇✝️✝️❤️🔥❤️🔥🙏🙏🤲👑
Doc & Sal were busy laughing while Eddie was walking around listening...picturing how to mold those words & music into something special...something they didn't catch....

The soundtrack was better than the movie.

Michael pare was perhaps one of the most underrated actors of all time.

@@SaltySouthTexan I hate to think of low budget westerns without thinking of the budget killer Baldwin.
John Cafferty doesn't get enough credit. Great musician.
How can you say John cafferty doesn't get enough credit every time they talk about Eddie and the cruisers movie either the first one or the second one who's John cafferty and the Beaver Brown band
... Eddie and the Cruisers was set in Somers Point NJ ... at Tony Marts ... I spent a more then a few nights there ... memories !!!
🔥🔥🎶His Song Lives on here in 2023 & I’ll be Performing it Tonight 🎸🎶🎤
If you like Eddie and the Cruisers. Watch a movie called Streets Of Fire it's one of the best movies ever made. It's my number one favorite movie ever. Michael Pare stars in it, the same actor that plays Eddie Wilson in Eddie and the Cruisers. Must watch Streets Of at least once. I garuntee you won't be disappointed.
I've seen it
It is a great movie Diane lane and Micheal Pare
Thank you
One of the most underrated movies of all time.
If I could play the saxophone like that I'd never work another day
Thank you Micheal par'e for all the years of excellent drama horror sci Fi and you know The rest greatest American hero until today. Legend

Is it totally wrong to say I like the 2nd one better??
@@RetailbyRyan27 not at all, glad you enjoyed the second one, hope you liked them both 👍

I met John cafferty in Wildwood NJ in a bar ! I loved the music in the movie! What a surprise I loved it 😍
I played for queen
I was17 yrs old then I'm 70 now
Dove tractor trailer for then on
One of the greatest movies of the 80's generation
What an under rated movie. Great performances by some rising stars with an excellent storyline.
