They got overlooked because they quit after the record company that was in charge of releasing their album went under & the promotion for it got reduced from around 300-40 radio stations promoting it... Lead singer (Gary West) got disillusioned & called it quits & never returned to the business...& his singing really did carry the band. They continued on eventually (& still do shows I do believe...but their other main singer passed away a few years back also...& their original violinist...Charles Waltz...was amazing also but had moved on before they reformed) but never had the level of quality from the original days unfortunately.
I show them on this tour when they opened for Triumph the night I graduated high school - May 18, 1980. Instead of partying I saw them and hadn't heard of them. Couple years later I bought their first two LPs and they're classics! I have III Wishes, Burning, and Silent Scream, but they sort of fizzled from how they started out. I just finished recording the debut and this song has always been my favorite from them.
This is one of those rare songs that you could play to someone who has never even heard of Shooting Star and their eyes would bug out and be thinking "This shit rocks"
@@richavic4520 Their label fucked them. Did a piss-poor job (at best) in taking care of them. The actions of their label more or less led to the downfall of people like Ron Verlin, who left the band, and Gary West, who not only left the band but left the music industry altogether.
St Louis & K-SHE 95 loves and supported SHOOTING STAR, MISSOURI, APRIL WINE, etc. It's such a crime that all of them never reached the level they deserved !!!
what k-she still here problem is they didn't get alot airtime throughout the country and hate to say it through MTV if anybody can culture club a star that was type they was back then
Being 50 now, and having lived in Missouri all my life, I grew up with this music on the airwaves. Without a doubt, all the DJ's from KYYS 102.1 didn't hesitate to mention that these boys were from our neck of the woods. They rocked us at Memorial Hall a few years back in Kansas City, Kansas.
Amen. Got to see them live in KC in Nov 2019 before the virus hit and they were great. Havent been to a concert since. Got Judas Priest coming in Oct in Independence Mo. Sure hope it doesn't get canceled. Shout out to Max & Tanna. Von Mack midnight to 6.
Forgot about "Shooting Star", shame on me, a Kansas boy and all. Love it when I hear a song that has been dropping slight pieces of earworms for years and YEARS, and then finally some caring soul has uploaded this, more importantly I stumbled across it, and filled in those missing pieces, completing the jam, and finding more forgotten jams hopefully preventing those fragmented earworms! KY102, now let's see off the top of my head, Dick and Jay were AM, Katie McGucken? afternoon, and Skid Roadie to drive us, well, Mom and Dad were driving me home back in the 1980's. I swear I pulled those names off the top of my brain! Man 102 and Memorial Hall kick off a bunch of good memories, thanks for that, the last show I saw there was NIN, Marilyn Manson, and the Jim Rose Circus Sideshow. Yep! That was one for the memory banks. NIN showcasing Marilyn M., and most people weren't used to an opening band coming out in a 10" black strap-on ensemble to perform... musically, and after the 'Side Show', I'm not sure most people were ready for that, but NIN killed it!
I love this song so much. So blessed to have been a part of an era that had so many talented bands with awesome music. To name just a few: Rush,Zebra,Triumph,The Police,Rainbow,Dio,Ozzy,Scorpions,MSG,Y&T,Iron Maiden,Judas Priest,Saxon,Accept,Krokus,Journey,Foreigner,Styx,Pink Floyd and many many more to even mention.
Forgot Scorpions...& Floyd's last album (the Wall) with the main lineup (not original with Barret but the lineup on all their most popular albums) came out at that time but they definitely predate that era by over a decade.
Kick Ads Band St.Louis Mo.1979 Super Jam Omg back stage !!!! WONDERFUL MEMORIES!!! 😇😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘THEY Were the Shit! ONE MY FAVORITE BANDS EVEN TO THIS DAY! THANK YOU SHOOTING STAR! You guys Rock!!!!!💋
Michelle McMillin SANTINNI, I saw them back in the day when they were in their prime! I still listen to them on Apple Music! One of my favorite songs has to be "Hollywood"
First concert in Topeka, KS. Unbelievable experience, saw them every time they were in the area afterwards. We rocked sooo hard to the songs of Shooting Star. The 80's were awesome. It's a shame they were overlooked.
This is BADASS!! So many memories! Ya know, if MTV played what was popular amongst the record buying audience and not played rich stupid asses videos that paid for airplay they would've had a bigger viewing audience. These guys were awesome!!!
Wow this takes me back to the 80's. Friday nights. Cruising with my buddy in his 'Vette. T-tops out and SS giving the Jensen stereo all it could handle! Never understood how Kansas could achieve mega-stardom, yet it seems nobody has ever heard of Shooting Star?
Kansas had better marketing, thanks to being with a major label. Shooting Star was the first American band to sign with Virgin Records, who at that point were more interested in Mike Oldfield and the Sex Pistols in the UK.
I have loved Shooting Star's debut album and this song since 1980. How is it that I am just now finding out that this video exists? I wonder if they would have been bigger if MTV was around in 1980.
Really miss those days. they were stellar in Texas. From San Antone. God, we had some killer shows come to the Convention Center, Sunken Gardens, or the Municipal. Triumph, UFO, and Legs Diamond in one show. Oh ya, the Outlaws opened for it. Amazing...
Lets face it, it is 2024 and they still sound as great as if they were a band from today. I saw them in the late 1970's in San Juan Puerto Rico, then I came to Iowa State and saw them around 1982 playing there, talked to the guitarist, such a nice guy and told him I had seen them in San Juan at the end of the concert in AMES IOWA. What a great rock band, thanks for me identifying with the midwest and Iowa/Minnesota, I owe all of my happiness to you guys.
This song is sooo awesome. I almost forgot about it but was looking through their discography and saw it, and had to check youtube. Yes I am a huge fan, and this IS one of my favorites. Thanks for posting it!
I love the transition @2:46 where it seems like we are transported into a dream 'tonight', with that heavy and simple bassline carrying us through until the morning (too deep?) :)
Wow Four Years have gone by since the last entry. I am late to the game, but the old brain will without warning pulls some song from my distant memory and bang I am back in 1979 filled with so much energy & zest for life. Its nice to visit those days once in awhile. GREAT BAND in an era of great new bands like Night Ranger, Riot, Triumph, Accept, TOTO, Loverboy, & of course DOKKEN, BOSTON & The Cars. Anybody know if they lasted on the scene for a few years? Are they still around?
A mate of mine was the recording engineer for this group and told me about them today. WOAH!! As Awakened Won said, "This shit rocks". Cheers Stewy Eales.
@jpirard The only notable similarity to Kansas is that both bands had a violinist. Structurally, their music is very different. And lyrically, there aren't many similarities at all. SS never agreed with the Kansas comparisons either. I know it bugged them because they said so (tactfully) on Rockline back in the day. Personally, I like both bands equally. Apples & oranges. (Note that my comments refer to the Gary West years of Shooting Start [the first 5 albums]). After that, I dunno.
@TheScorps3 Tis album oriented rock. It was another word for progressive rock and dominated FM radio in the midwest of America in the seventies and eighties.
They lasted until ~ 1986. They did 5 great albums with most of the original lineup. The last two, Burning and Silent Scream, were particularly good. SS was a masterpiece, but their pathetic record company didn't promote it and it died. It could've easily sold 4 or 5 million copies (it was that good). Gary was so crushed he left the music business. Can't say I blame him. Soon after, most of the other members left also. Since then, a revolving door of new members & a totally different sound.
Grew up in KC. Saw them at Memorial Hall in KCK in probably 1980. Saw a lot of concerts over those years, but Shooting Star was hard to beat.......by anybody. Now 35 years later I am back into high end two-channel stereo and VINYL............Found a mint condition Japanese pressing of their first album and it sounds like you are in the studio with them. Man they were great. We hurt a lot of brain cells at Memorial Hall in the late 70's and early 80's. Ha!
Agreed, a fantastic band that never got their due. My thoughts were that they were very much like Kansas, & many people didn't bother with them because of it. (A good analogy might be when the band Starcastle came out, they sounded a lot like Yes, & could never escape the comparisons).
Maybe you can help me beings you such a fan. I remember a song that Shooting Star did prob early 80's it was a heavy pounding song and I just can't remember the title. The first line in the song is "I'm feelin good ! Knew that I would!" Then I am freakin lost and I can't find it. Help ?
there are simalarity's between kansas and shooting star kansas are from st joe,mo and topeka, ks/ and the guy's from shooting star are from kansas city, gary west's son wesley west went to my high school and was a year behind myself, i grew up hearing shooting star and they are an awsome band.
On 9th and 11 I got married and had shooting star play the reception for 2 hours other people that were there were some members from Head East and from a band called Banshee, Tommy Lee Flood. It was one of the greatest moments in my life having them play they're one of my favorite bands of all time if you haven't heard Banshee or Head East look them up I bet you've heard of them on the radio. But they too did not get the recognition that they deserve. Van of shooting star also had a band at that time called Van and the movers. When I looked into their body of work I'm really wrote down all the sounds I wanted them to play there were 30 or 40 songs that's how many hits they had or shoot have. Everyone in the songs are awesome just like last chance Breakout you got what I need Georgia's song the wrote about George Harrison of The Beatles Hollywood and many many others we listen to all those songs it'll take you back to the seventies and eighties and nineties just like it did me. I've got a copy of that concert somewhere they burned it right off. They burned it write off of the mixing board one hell of a night. One I'll never forget! Chris Tilton AKA Sunnyday
23 millenials thumbed this down. I feel sorry for them they didn't have a childhood with awesome music & very talented musicians.... well, ok, I don't really feel sorry for them, I'm just happy I'm not a millennial.

Seriously! Shooting Star was SO overlooked for some strange reason! Loved them back in the 80's, still do!
Yes, for many sad reasons...
My first and best concert. TBF, I'm from kansas, as are they I'm thinking.?
They got overlooked because they quit after the record company that was in charge of releasing their album went under & the promotion for it got reduced from around 300-40 radio stations promoting it...
Lead singer (Gary West) got disillusioned & called it quits & never returned to the business...& his singing really did carry the band.

Remember this from Video Concert Hall! Great song and group
Wow... thought I was the only personwho remembered Video Concert Hall!
Timeless in 2019!

It just blows me away at the thought there's people who haven't heard this...
@@ImLisaMoore I make it a point to share the Shooting Star music.
@@Cyberhog9 your response called me back here to listen to the song again. ☺️
A fantastic band that should have way more fame than they do!
St Louis & K-SHE 95 loves and supported SHOOTING STAR, MISSOURI, APRIL WINE, etc. It's such a crime that all of them never reached the level they deserved !!!
St Lou transplant now in The Bay.. ....
How I miss KSHE 95 !
cant believe u mention kshe,from the hood!
Mike Stone N' Roll 50 years strong. no station does it better
Love KSHE 95..........monday night Metal on Tuesdays.
what k-she still here problem is they didn't get alot airtime throughout the country and hate to say it through MTV if anybody can culture club a star that was type they was back then
Great Kansas City band that never got the recognition they deserved.
Did better in Europe ....
@@content4502 hear that a lot.
Saw them in their final concert in St Louis. Such a major under appreciated band. The string of hits they had, just a shame.
Shooting Star was robbed.
Shooting Star was one of the best sounding bands to ever come out of the '80s. Why are they not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame??
Right on man
Blame lack of exposure
Mo. Sadly.
they are from kansas city
I'll give you the hard truth..... They never pandered to the criminal Kayzar Jews who own the music business.
Being 50 now, and having lived in Missouri all my life, I grew up with this music on the airwaves. Without a doubt, all the DJ's from KYYS 102.1 didn't hesitate to mention that these boys were from our neck of the woods. They rocked us at Memorial Hall a few years back in Kansas City, Kansas.

Saw Triumph in '83 in Bakersfield CA. They weren't really big here in this city at the time but gained a big following up north in the Bay Area
Kansas...
@@markgreene6349 Missouri Band
Oh you fuckin right brother!!

Kick Ads Band St.Louis Mo.1979 Super Jam Omg back stage !!!! WONDERFUL MEMORIES!!! 😇😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘THEY Were the Shit! ONE MY FAVORITE BANDS EVEN TO THIS DAY! THANK YOU SHOOTING STAR! You guys Rock!!!!!💋
Michelle McMillin SANTINNI, I saw them back in the day when they were in their prime! I still listen to them on Apple Music! One of my favorite songs has to be "Hollywood"
I forgot how fucking great that was, it must be 30 years.
They played my wedding on 9 10 11 in Kansas City at the Marriott I was very honored this is how they started off the show
I always refered to them as Kansas with edge. way overlooked along with White Lion
White Lion? Please.
RIP Van you were one of the BEST
Very underrated band. Excellent sound!
Put out Great LP's !
I saw this band at superjam 1980 they rocked that place to the ground!!!!
Me too! it was my 1st concert. I was 15. April Wine, Sammy Hagar, Judas Priest.
@@timrachels1167 Our local radio station did a simulcast. van pulled me up on stage and i did a partial solo of breakout on his guitar! So cool!
First concert in Topeka, KS. Unbelievable experience, saw them every time they were in the area afterwards. We rocked sooo hard to the songs of Shooting Star. The 80's were awesome. It's a shame they were overlooked.
I remember this song from back in the day when I was going to flight school in St. Louis. KSHE 95 used to play it a good bit. Great stuff!
Must agree with the person that said these are some of the best bands ever that never really got that awards that they deserved!
This is BADASS!!
So many memories!
Ya know, if MTV played what was popular amongst the record buying audience and not played rich stupid asses videos that paid for airplay they would've had a bigger viewing audience.
These guys were awesome!!!
The Missouri bands . Shooting Star , Head East , Missouri , Morning Star . Teenage years in 70s 80s in Columbia was great .
Wow this takes me back to the 80's. Friday nights. Cruising with my buddy in his 'Vette. T-tops out and SS giving the Jensen stereo all it could handle!

I like KANSAS but this band ROCKS!
They are from Kansas i know band Kansas both kick Kansas Ass
I have 2 or 3 of every album they put out.and always looking...the best band of my time..ever
Should have been BIGGER !
I have loved Shooting Star's debut album and this song since 1980. How is it that I am just now finding out that this video exists? I wonder if they would have been bigger if MTV was around in 1980.
I don't think even MTV could overcome all the band's bad luck. Love the band!
I haven't heard this tune in 35 years! Awesome
I Mac Exactly what I was thinking.....I've played it like 6 times today....a long lost gem....it gives me chills...takes me back over 3 decades ago!
43 years for me. Just heard it today!
Great rock song ...it's a shame they didn't get more...spent many summers w/Shooting Star while growing up in Kansas...
We rocked them in Upstate NY !
My wife never heard of SS and when I played this song. She was like who the heck is that? She absolutely loves it.
Spent a good portion of my meager wages seeing these guys.
when I saw the pajammas (live) I was like..' How can ya NOT love these guys'..??
AWESOME unknown Band !
It's 2020 now but I remember listening to kshe while cruising around and music like this was playing.
Saw these guys open for Triumph in Louisville , 1980 I think it was. $7 bucks for a ticket!
I saw that show in Indianapolis.
Really miss those days. they were stellar in Texas. From San Antone. God, we had some killer shows come to the Convention Center, Sunken Gardens, or the Municipal. Triumph, UFO, and Legs Diamond in one show. Oh ya, the Outlaws opened for it. Amazing...
I was there too. They also opened for kansas around 06 or 07 for a free waterfront concert. I just went to see shooting star.
Kshe used to play this all the time. Not anymore. Sad
Now this just flat out rocks!
Lets face it, it is 2024 and they still sound as great as if they were a band from today.

always tonight..
Back in the day, They got plenty of radio play here in Detroit. My favorites are Last chance and Hollywood. This band had talent!
They got lots in St. Louis as well… In Chicago almost nothing!!!
@@rodmangrum5904 K.C. loved these guys. Still do.

Great stuff--> All around ! CLASSIC
always liked the band , never seen them live.
Jammed on this album endlessly in my '72 cougar in '80
Best concert of all time -Jefferson Starship and Shooting Star
Great tour! I saw them in Indy.
@@boilerbop They dont music like that anymore
@TheScorps3 Tis album oriented rock. It was another word for progressive rock and dominated FM radio in the midwest of America in the seventies and eighties.
this brings back so many good memories tonite bright stars seem low tonite awsome
They lasted until ~ 1986. They did 5 great albums with most of the original lineup. The last two, Burning and Silent Scream, were particularly good. SS was a masterpiece, but their pathetic record company didn't promote it and it died. It could've easily sold 4 or 5 million copies (it was that good).

Yes Mike stone and roll kshe and st.Louis rocks!!!!
Rock song with a violin; could take out an eye.
IS there a video for "Last Chance" which is really there signature song and best as well
Saw em at UMRolla in the fieldhouse right after this song came out. Incredible! The energy.
Grew up in KC. Saw them at Memorial Hall in KCK in probably 1980. Saw a lot of concerts over those years, but Shooting Star was hard to beat.......by anybody. Now 35 years later I am back into high end two-channel stereo and VINYL............Found a mint condition Japanese pressing of their first album and it sounds like you are in the studio with them.

I'm from Saint Louis yeah I wonder if Kansas had an influence on these guys?
Not really.
Charles Waltz joined the band while they were still playing material from their first two albums, unsigned.
This was a local favorite in Cincinnati back in the day. PLAY LOUD!
Self respect robbed by self-pity, look across the country, All the people, with their dreams dead in their hearts.

I saw them when the opened up for Foghat, and Blue Oyster Cult. They just blew me away! Foghat should've opened for them!

Why was this band so over looked? Bad manager is my guess
Bad record companies were definitely a factor
True. The upstart Virgin label really didn't put a lot of marketing into this album.
Not properly promoted by the label.
Gary west is an incredible musician and singer!!!! This is song is fn incredible! Shooting Star is badass!
23 millenials thumbed this down. I feel sorry for them they didn't have a childhood with awesome music & very talented musicians.... well, ok, I don't really feel sorry for them, I'm just happy I'm not a millennial.
THIS IS SO COOL!!!!!! I MISS THIS ERA!!! STILL ALL THAT!!!!
I swear it brings back so many good memories icould just cry!
THIS IS SO COOL!!!!!! I MISS THIS ERA!!! STILL ALL THAT!!!!
I heard in '82 they blew Journey off the stage. People liked the opening act of Shooting Star!
Wish someone would post a better quality video. Music sounds great though.
jamming in cincinnati on 6/14/2014!!!! I will certainly be there and hope you will be to!!!
2 people cannot feel the pulling of the moon
Yes. I was in st. Louis in the 80's for visit cousins and shooting star-tonight was all over the radio. Great song.
@orpheus2112 off course there is.. theres a great live version..too..
👍😀
Damn. Love this music.
Thanks. Love hearing that!
I swear that riff sounds like Van Halens 'where have all the good times gone'. Great song! Remember this video from Video Concert Hall (Pre-MTV)
Not Van Halens but The Kinks
