I can confidently call myself gen z scum, but hey I hate the music my generation listens too when you compare it to this, the music my gen likes is GARBAGE.
Sorry to hear about your father. My Dad died in 2002 thinking Abba was a Hispanic band (they wer from Sweden). Goddamn, he loved Chiquitita! 8-track player console. Had a turn-table & TV built in. Good times.
I'm 52 yrs old and this song just takes me back. Growing up in the 80's was the best time of my life. This song is a masterpiece. They just don't make music like this nowadays. RIP Glenn Frey, you were a true legend & your music will resonate for generations to come. You are truly missed 💔
Do you remember the episode of married with children where they used the instrumental version of this? Al and Steve were trying to track down Marcey's barbie. Classic episode!
@@anthonymcculloch156 OMG... Yes I do! I totally forgot about that one.! Marcy Darcy! Too funny! Married With Children was one of my favorite shows back then! So hilarious! It was so raunchy, but yet so relatable. A show like that wouldn't even be aired nowadays in this fucked up PC world we live in today. I soooooo miss the 80's. Gone are shows like that and amazing songs like this... But definitely not forgotten. 💜
@@trishscott6995 I was born in 84. So I liked the 80's also! "They" say that it was misogynistic. Bullshit! It was WAY rougher on men than women hahaha.
Few recognize what a significant impact Miami Vice had on television and popular culture during the 80’s. Glenn Frey’s music certainly contributed to that.
I was born in the 70s and grew up in the 80s. TV shows were good, music was good, styles were cool, times were more simple. I was fortunate to grow up during this time. Sad these kids have no idea! The 70s and 80s were the best! This song rocks!
We still had hope then, and it wasn't because we were young. It was because of the cultural climate. The cultural climate of the 21st Century discourages hope if it doesn't outright kill it.
Scarface, First Blood, Ferrari GTO 288, the birth of many superbikes, Run DMC, White Lines, Fast Times at Ridgemont High. First time seeing Rob Lowe, Tom Cruise, Patrick Swawze, Diane Lane, Sherilyn Fenn, Oprah, listening to Siskel and Ebert discussing great movies, Dallas, Dynasty, Fieros, Supras, MR2, cars I loved, HBO and Cinemax and Showtime and The Movie Channel were a movie fans dream entertainment. Eddie Murphy, Arnold put out his best movies and really became famous, bodybuilding and fitness was in, Jane Fonda aerobics, leg warmers for aerobics, people had more class and were better looking, even their female adult stars were much more desirable. Raging Bull, Kevin Bacon, Top Gun, Kevin Cosner, Mike Tyson, Madonna was huge! Miami Vice, Magnum PI, Fantasy Island, Judas Priest, Ozzy. MTV actually played music videos, Michael Jackson, CNN wasn't fake news. CNN used to give the same headline news each half hour, it wasn't a propaganda show with tons of media narrative. Reagan and Reaganomics, lots of movies sold with the help of nudity, Sharon Stone became famous in Irreconcilable Differences, lots of horror movies, Conan the Barbarian, Dave Letterman. Places were better, didn't have so many homeless people, and cities were beautiful. Three's Company, when San Fran was a whole lot different. Robin Williams first appeared as Mork, Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn and James Stewart and lots of Hollywood royalty were still alive, Grace Kelly was still here. Well, if you read this, it was fun thinking of back then, and I could keep going! A great and very special decade!
It's unbelievable how amazing shows from the 80s like Miami Vice only lasted 5 seasons, while crap reality shows like Survivor and Big Brother have been on the air for 20 years and counting. SMFH
Absolutely I feel it! Like an overwelming feeling of nostalgia and wanting to go back to this time and having a sence of dread that we will never be able to live and feel what we felt then ever again! I want to go back to the 70s and 80s so bad!
Even radio stations that cater to 80s music fans don't give this song any respect. They really don't give Glenn much respect at all. Our local 80s station did a tribute to him when he died by playing three Eagles songs. All sung by Henley.
It's my personal favorite Rebecca. It let Glenn live up to his full 80's potential. The beautiful young woman in pastel blue gives an idea of almost, almost what Marilyn Monroe could have looked like at that same age in the mid-80's. We'll never know, but for sure realistic enough to contemplate.
SAXOPHONES in the 80s was the Go-To background sounds that's so appropriate and heavily used in all types of music videos from Soul, Rock, Metal, Pop,Hip hop, Adult Contemporary, New Waves, where will 80s be without the Mighty SAXOPHONES.
Nostalgia. It's a terrible thing. Makes you look back to a time where you don't remember the bad, but only remember the good. This song brings back so many memories from what seems like 5 lifetimes ago.
I remember the bad - lost two of my biological brothers, sustained my life through Stage 4 cancer, laid off - unable to work, no insurance I could afford - who the f*ck "needs" to remember the bad without reaching out to the "good times" gone by!
I can appreciate an honest and realistic response. I am so tired of "they don't make songs like this anymore". Kids these days have their own memories and music to grow nostalgic on. It's the same for every generation.
@@hj-xb2tr As compared with today's programming. John wants to get a sex change and be called Gina. Sue wants to adopt a child with her Lesbian lover, and then give the kid estrogen in an attempt to turn a Boy into a Girl. Meanwhile back at the office, Carol is offended that Jason had a picture of a swimsuit model for his screensaver. Jason has since removed said picture, apologized to the entire office,and replaced it with a Lesbian Seagull, but Sue is now triggered.The company has scheduled 6 weeks of sensitivity training because "it's not natural for a man to look at attractive Women that way". The "tough guys" in the movies now drive Toyota's, because their wives told them to. Nah. Miami Vice was EXCELLENT programming. Just not really suited for Women....or apparently you..
I agree. I was married in 81, we had a little boy in 82 then another little boy in 85. Worked all the time, time flew by. Wish I could go back and slow down those days. There were some great music in the 80s.
Kids isolating themselves with Walkman headphones, the birth of the home video system Atari, VHS stay at home entertainment... the 80s was the womb of today's disaster. Granted the music was exceptional then
I remember being a kid around 3 years old when this song came out. At the time, my mom was working at a restaurant in downtown San Francisco. The nights that my dad would pick up my mom from work, he would take my brother and me to pick her up, and this song was always playing. It was fun being a young kid sitting in the back seat of the car listening to this song while driving through downtown San Francisco at night. As a young kid anytime my dad would say "hey do you guys want to go pick up mom, I instantly started singing "You belong to the city" in my head. Now that I'm pushing towards 40, I now play this song when I take weekend night drives in the city with my wife and daughter.
@@markt5703 First, nice name! I thought I was commenting back to myself haha. You remember this song even though you were 2 months old? Wow, you have great memory.
Let's face it. It was a decade that can't be beat. The food was real, the world wasn't as fuked up, people could find work if they wanted too, the music, the fashion, the night life, crime wasn't rampant. And lastly people were nicer to each other and didn't let politics influence family and social life.
Logan, what's your next greatest excuse you got bro lol. Some ppl,a fine selection crop of bros are living this lifestyle Right Niw believe it or not?! Prescription Get to the gym Get a job and explore different hustles Dress better Treat ppl well Be undeniable bro Whata masterpiece of a song Logan you forgot the music art and action movies were mich better. Modern renisance
This was the crack era bruh the world was plenty fk'd if you came from the hood like I did. We loved this song tho. The lyrics and that sax spoke to us.
If you thought the 80s was a nice, not much crime, and politics not being in your face like it is today…let me remind you that drugs, crime and rape were always rampant in the streets you were just safe in your home with mommy! 42nd street in Manhattan was littered with drug users and rows of theatre’s that went on for block playing adult movies and good ol’ Chinese films with subtitles! Brothers had to watch each other’s backs from police and rifraff in their hoods! It wasn’t peaches and cream more like Glocks and nines…it was a rough time…trash in the streets, graffiti on bobtail trucks and trains, even Muriel’s inside the subway tunnels if you knew where to look! The list can go on but this ol’ Dog is tired and the grind is getting old! I love the 80s but it also had its moment in time….that will be forever apart of history!
@@ghoststorm7082 crime always existed bro The 80s were probably some of the most magistical times of modern history everything so new and full of promise. Everytime I see the 80s I'm reminded things will never be the same twice. Good memories
Did you go through the eighties with your head under a blanket? Were you unaware of the Cold War? The constant threat of imminent nuclear destruction? The "me" decade with its "greed is good" mantra? The eighties #&*$#! sucked. I couldn't wait for it to end. The music was pretty awesome, though.
I was 18 In 1985. I remember so Clearly the feeling of the time. It was Epic! I drenched myself in it. The 80s were the Absolute best. The pentacle of human existence. We had the values of the past and the beginning of technology. People had huge freedoms but the discipline to not destroy themselves. I’m telling you....it’s been all down hill since then. Anyone that was there can relate.
Tom I love your dog picture. The picture to your left is my dog Roxie. She passed away on Valentine's Day. She blessed our family for 12 years. She died of liver cancer. I was able to hold her and look into her eyes when she died. The last 5 minutes were awful. I really miss her. Stay safe. Semper Fi from an old Marine Sergeant.
Downhill in the precise way that will build the mother of all epic comebacks. Predictions are hard, especially about the future says Neils Bohr. I therefore say this. One is left with one choice. Become the future you want to predict! Dreams were born in the 80s. Clarity was born in the struggle and darkness that followed. Light comes next!
@@maximumprobability I Pray you are Right. I still fight the good fight. Still put a premium on Truth, Honesty and Justice. As do Most red blooded Americans. One Day......
Born in '78, so GRATEFUL I grew up in the 80's. Music like this almost brings tears to my eyes, days will never be the same. What a time and young people today will never know what it was like and for that I feel sorry for them.
Me too. I was born in 1973 and grew up with Glenn Frey and The Eagles. There was nothing like the '80's! Too bad that what we have today is not a tenth as good. Hopefully we can all have something better soon. I'd settle for something even half as great as the '80's. Cheers from northeast Ohio.
Also born in 78 , my birthday is this wendsday June 28 , 78 . I'm an old soul when it comes to music 🎶🎶🎶 , he's got the mind of a 50-60 yr old man . I'm so grateful for him
They dont make songs like this anymore. It envokes so many memories. That scene in Miami Vice when Crockett is walking the night streets of NYC is classic...RIP Dude
There was something in the atmosphere in the 80s that I have yet to experience in any other decade. It was definitely a special time. Glad I was alive to fully take it in. ✨️💖✨️
I was pretty young for most of the 80's but i know what you mean. It seemed like every day and night was magical. Like there was a big adventure around every corner or some unknown something that was great that you were waiting for. The music was better, the movies were bigger. Everything seemed so much more alive. It had to be one of the absolute best decades ever.
Beautiful unforgettable music that can’t ever come back. 80s people wish we could go back in time. It’s a beautiful feeling. Best era ever.😢High school years we would enjoy.
I’m 28 years old so this music is a bit before my time and yet I’m drawn so strongly to it. Gotta love and appreciate good music no matter what time period 🤟🏽
That's probably because way back in 1985 (8 years and 9 months before you were born), your parents heard this song, loved it, played it repeatedly (on cassette), which cause their DNA to change to appreciate the sweet, sweet dulcet tones of a moody sax. You should thank them both. 🎷🎶
I turned 28 in May 1985. If it's any consolation 1985 and '86 were the last good years for pretty much everything, across the board. So if you were born in '93 (?) yeah, no way. I was born in '57, and everything's been lousy for most of mine; just not all. Either way, we're all living in this nightmare time, regardless of our ages. The good thing is you can enjoy things from all eras thanks to RUclips. In fact, I want to look at some '75 Monte Carlo videos right now! :-)
I wish my kids could have grown up as we did in the 80s. Something is broken for our children today. They are lost, dispossessed, and depressed and it breaks my heart.
I hear certain songs from the 80s and it makes me feel desperately sad. I want that easy going time again. No social media, people talking face to face..
@@jay21281 Ty.. I just realised that my comment came across as rude and I didn't mean it that way at all. I was really just being cheeky. I apologise if you thought that.
This is one of those moody, driving alone at night songs as the lights of the city slip by, kind of like how life slips by, and there's only the glow of the dashboard light, and you've got the stereo on listening to: "In the Air Tonight" "(Phil Collins), Wicked Games" (Chris Isaak), "Missing" (Everything but the Girl), "Careless Whisper" (Wham), "Ride like the Wind" (Christopher Cross), "Still they Ride" (Journey), "Starboy" (The Weekend), "Winds of Change" ( Scorpions), "Sunglasses at Night" (Corey Heart), "Separate Ways" (Journey), "You Belong to the City" (Glenn Frey), "The Heart of the Matter (Don Henley), "Seasons in the Sun" (Terry Jacks), "Sad Eyes" (Robert John), "Sailing" (Christopher Cross), "Who's Crying Now" (Journey), "Eye in the Sky (Alan Parsons Project), "Racing in the Street" (Bruce Springsteen), Pancho & Lefty (Willie Nelson & Merle Haggard), "Thrasher" (Neil Young), "Wild Horses" (The Rolling Stones), "Enjoy the Silence" (Depeche Mode), "Take My Breath" (The Weekend), "When the Smoke is Going Down" (Scorpions), "Comfortably Numb" (Pink Floyd), "Culling Voices" (Tool), "Separate Ways" (Teddy Thomson), "Never Surrender" (Corey Heart), "Two Faces" (Bruce Springsteen), "Gran Torino (Jamie Cullum), "The Speed of the Sound of Loneliness" (John Prine & Nanci Griffith), and finally to close out this playlist and to end our journey..."Goodbye" (Steve Earle, live from Austin TX)...
Us 80s kids we have a special connection because we all experienced a magical time and wish we could go back to those days of freedom, hope, and such good times. My 60 birthday is not far off but my heart belongs to those halcyon days.
As a Boomer the 50's were legendary, but the 80's were better because we lived it. I hope current or future generations have an era as cool or better than what we had, but I don't see how.
everyone will be born from foreign born parents in America who have no connection to the 80s... and Europe will end up remembering the American 80s more so than will the people of America 2050
"Nobody knows where you're going, nobody cares where you've been..." And THAT, young people, is just one reason why the 80's genuinely belong to a much much much better time/place. Pretty much can't go anywhere, do much of anything (literally as well as comparatively speaking) nowadays. The world still existed on a manageable, human scale. I was 17 in 1985, and would go back again in a heartbeat...and not just for the youth. Cheers.
I agree. Most people who weren’t lucky enough to be around back then don’t know what they missed compared to today. The only other era I’ve heard about that compares to this is the 60’s.
Honestly i think thats an misunderstanding of the lyrics. "Nobody knows where you're going, nobody cares where you've been..." is still the mood of living in every big city. Its expresses the feeling of being one in a million. self-aware and living in it but stilll weirdly disconnectet from all the people around you. I think this music fits perfect in the zeitgeist of today. The 80s was the first decade that expressed this feeling of loneliness while being surrounded by millions perfectly and in various genres. And if you think that the youth feels other way today, its just what products want you believe. Still nobody cares where you have been, even though you post it on tiktok or instagram. Its just easier today to get out of the "grey" and get recognised than in the 80s. I do see the 80s superior against every other decade but i dont think that this song dont fit your narrative. Its timeless for me.
One cool thing about the music from the 80's, was this, there was a song for every mood, celebration and situation of life. It was truly a special time😎.
The 80s, the music was great. You could go to a club that only held two hundred with 400 of us in there, and not one bullet flew. We all mooed like cows as we walked out. Your ears rang for two days. Now people suck, no one gets along. Friends are gone. Life in general is ho hum, but I have the memories, the car, and they haven't taken the music away...yet.
He was suffering from arthritis and was prescribed a medicine that supposedly led to his contracting colitis and pneumonia. He developed complications from the latter and was put into a medically induced coma where he died from complications of all three. It has been suggested that the medicines he was given may have compromised his ability to fight off the pneumonia and may have contributed to his death in that way. His widow Cindy Millican filed suit against the hospital and I think maybe his doc/surgeon for wrongful death.
Anyone else here after watching Thunder Force?...as an 80s kid, this song just hit the back of my throat with that chorus and sax. Choking up with sadness at how much I miss those wonderful days where things just felt simple and innocent...😪
The sax is beautiful and drums are pretty good too, Glen Frey puts his heart into this song, love it and love everyone who loves it also, you have good taste.
You should check out the Friday the 13th Jason takes Manhattan, with the opening intro song. Have a feeling you'll love it. Doesn't have a sax, but has all those other components.
I dont think it would ever come bsck. Thsts just a one decade thing. All we have is memories. We love all these mrmories becsuse we were just a child. Innocent of the world.
@@mgratk The right seems MUCH more willing to cancel each other, and what they don't like, than the left. Just look at Liz Cheney and Sesame Street for god's sake. The literally voted to not consider her a Republican anymore because she dared to defy trump, and they sent out a press notice about how Sesame Street is not allowed at CPAC. Cancel Culture has become a staple of the right-wing. It's all they have left at this point.
I was 17 yrs old when Miami Vice came out ~ I remember it was a big deal at the time to watch an exciting new show. The opening music theme was incredible.
The twin towers were a symbol of richness, power, wealth in USA but also peace, trade, balance. Once gone the world we knew changed and still changing now, even more quickly. Hopefully one day, somewhere in lower Manhattan, new twin towers will rise again....
@@MegaSammy70 Lies. I distinctly remember whole towns not getting MTV, that "Satanic rock" foolishness, and the campaign against "The Last Temptation of Christ."
@@basbleupeaunoire thats not cancel culture. that was preventing sh!t getting into the homes and in little kids minds, for good reason. look what the internet did
I love sax in rock. Tim Cappello did a great job with the sax...I think he released his first album last year. I think I Still Believe was the first song of note he sang in as well though.
New York what an outstanding city. I´m from Germany and been there for the first time two weeks ago. For me it was a dream come true. I love the 80´s and this song makes my heart beating faster and thinking of "my city".....
I'm 43, so I was a kid in the 80's..nevertheless, it was an amazing time to have been alive..many of us didn't realize it but the current times we're living in sure remind us how amazing it was.
80’s is irreplaceable. Thank God I am a 80’s baby that got to witness this most amazing era in music and movies too. Since I’ll be 36 in April, this stuff still sounds fucken refreshing to my ears compared to the garbage being made today. Long live the 80’s greatness hands down
20 years since the 9/11 attacks.. its just feels strange, nostalgic, and comforting all at the same time to see that old New York City skyline with the twin towers in the background. As a lifelong New Yorker ill always love this video. RIP Glenn, and RIP to all we lost on 9/11/2001.
I know 2 people from NY and both independently said the same thing. According to them, the city was great during the 80s and 90s but since the attacks it changed so much that it is not worth living there anymore. One of them actually moved to Tampa, got a good job opportunity there in 2018.
I'm British and I've never been to the US, but I know much about your country from the movies I've seen. I've seen lots of movies set in New York city. I to miss the twin towers, obviously not to the degree that you do, but I feel a sense of loss, it's strange, hard to explain. God bless New York city and the victims of 9/11. ❤️🇬🇧
There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.
Definitely
I agree. And Boys of Summer by Don Henley has the exact same effect for me.
It was a time when decorating your house in Mauve and Seafoam Green seemed like a really good idea! Good times. I wish I could go back.

This song was featured in Miami Vice, Season 2, Episode 1 - The Prodigal Son, my absolute favorite episode of the series.

You took the words right out of my mouth.
This generation is caught up in the matrix. You don't know whats real or fake no more. It's sad.
I agree except the music in the 70s well only10% is worth remembering. It was a dry period of talent.
My thoughts exactly! I was born in 74.

MTV actually played music videos, Michael Jackson, CNN wasn't fake news. CNN used to give the same headline news each half hour, it wasn't a propaganda show with tons of media narrative. Reagan and Reaganomics, lots of movies sold with the help of nudity, Sharon Stone became famous in Irreconcilable Differences, lots of horror movies, Conan the Barbarian, Dave Letterman. Places were better, didn't have so many homeless people, and cities were beautiful. Three's Company, when San Fran was a whole lot different. Robin Williams first appeared as Mork, Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn and James Stewart and lots of Hollywood royalty were still alive, Grace Kelly was still here. Well, if you read this, it was fun thinking of back then, and I could keep going! A great and very special decade!
Miami Vice. Best. TV. Show. Ever. RIP Glenn.
i loved miami vice, and don johnson. wow, what a show. then glenn frey singing this song. what more could a person ask for. RIP glenn Frey
It's unbelievable how amazing shows from the 80s like Miami Vice only lasted 5 seasons, while crap reality shows like Survivor and Big Brother have been on the air for 20 years and counting. SMFH
Still watch that show on blu ray. Loved it back then every Friday night. The coolest show on t.v.

I believe that somewhere in the world, there are people who feel the same emotions that I feel when I listen to masterpieces like this song.
Desde Argentina. Emocionada, la mejor musica por siempre 70, 80, 90 parte 2000
Absolutely I feel it! Like an overwelming feeling of nostalgia and wanting to go back to this time and having a sence of dread that we will never be able to live and feel what we felt then ever again! I want to go back to the 70s and 80s so bad!
From Poland. I feel the same. Song is very nostalgic. Maybe not ideal but normal world was in the 80's.
It gives me chills
You comment this on every 80s song I have been on 🤣
Couldn’t have a hit in the 80’s without a sax in it.
Truth! The "saxxy" instrument! 😘
Haha. Indeed! They loved them some sax in the 80's...
Love it! The music is so sensual.
Yes and the 70s also had great songs with the sax
Love a sax!
It's criminal that this song doesn't have millions and millions more views. One of the greatest songs of all time. Rest in Power, Glenn.
And his buddy from the Eagles Don Henley did another greatest song with “The boys of Summer” Both legends
Absolutely 💯
Someone keeps taking it down, there’s live versions uploaded frequently but copyrights 🙄
Glenn Lives Matter
Even radio stations that cater to 80s music fans don't give this song any respect. They really don't give Glenn much respect at all. Our local 80s station did a tribute to him when he died by playing three Eagles songs. All sung by Henley.
No words for how this song makes me feel. His voice…the sax…the lyrics. Damn.
It's my personal favorite Rebecca. It let Glenn live up to his full 80's potential. The beautiful young woman in pastel blue gives an idea of almost, almost what Marilyn Monroe could have looked like at that same age in the mid-80's. We'll never know, but for sure realistic enough to contemplate.
It's a Eargasm friend ... Just like that ...
He wants to sax the blonde. 🤣
Me too. He was so hot too!!
@@CurlyFromTheSwirly lmao
SAXOPHONES in the 80s was the Go-To background sounds that's so appropriate and heavily used in all types of music videos from Soul, Rock, Metal, Pop,Hip hop, Adult Contemporary, New Waves, where will 80s be without the Mighty SAXOPHONES.
yeah the saxes almost ruined the 80's, but big drums, synth/bass 'n hot guitar made sure to kick that cornball clown horn bullshit off the table
❤❤❤
Also Hammond B3 organ. I loved playing sax to this! Tenor & Alto sax!
Nostalgia. It's a terrible thing. Makes you look back to a time where you don't remember the bad, but only remember the good. This song brings back so many memories from what seems like 5 lifetimes ago.
I remember the bad - lost two of my biological brothers, sustained my life through Stage 4 cancer, laid off - unable to work, no insurance I could afford - who the f*ck "needs" to remember the bad without reaching out to the "good times" gone by!
I can appreciate an honest and realistic response. I am so tired of "they don't make songs like this anymore". Kids these days have their own memories and music to grow nostalgic on. It's the same for every generation.
Точно подмечено👍
What’s terrible about remembering the good.

@@chipbuttytime3396 You do have some valid points.
I remember being a kid around 3 years old when this song came out. At the time, my mom was working at a restaurant in downtown San Francisco. The nights that my dad would pick up my mom from work, he would take my brother and me to pick her up, and this song was always playing. It was fun being a young kid sitting in the back seat of the car listening to this song while driving through downtown San Francisco at night. As a young kid anytime my dad would say "hey do you guys want to go pick up mom, I instantly started singing "You belong to the city" in my head. Now that I'm pushing towards 40, I now play this song when I take weekend night drives in the city with my wife and daughter.
I remember driving with my uncle on trips to other states and listening to Linda Ronstadt, eye of the tiger, and other 80's tunes.

Let's face it. It was a decade that can't be beat. The food was real, the world wasn't as fuked up, people could find work if they wanted too, the music, the fashion, the night life, crime wasn't rampant.
And lastly people were nicer to each other and didn't let politics influence family and social life.

If you thought the 80s was a nice, not much crime, and politics not being in your face like it is today…let me remind you that drugs, crime and rape were always rampant in the streets you were just safe in your home with mommy! 42nd street in Manhattan was littered with drug users and rows of theatre’s that went on for block playing adult movies and good ol’ Chinese films with subtitles! Brothers had to watch each other’s backs from police and rifraff in their hoods! It wasn’t peaches and cream more like Glocks and nines…it was a rough time…trash in the streets, graffiti on bobtail trucks and trains, even Muriel’s inside the subway tunnels if you knew where to look! The list can go on but this ol’ Dog is tired and the grind is getting old! I love the 80s but it also had its moment in time….that will be forever apart of history!

in this Corona world, my heart aches for the eighties..the peace, the blue sky, the fun and laughter...
And the cocaine
Did you go through the eighties with your head under a blanket? Were you unaware of the Cold War? The constant threat of imminent nuclear destruction? The "me" decade with its "greed is good" mantra? The eighties #&*$#! sucked. I couldn't wait for it to end. The music was pretty awesome, though.
Well...the 80s brought AIDS
And Donald Trump was just some random conceited yuppie.
@@JadeDude1973 D@#^. Point in the 80s' favor.
I was 18 In 1985. I remember so Clearly the feeling of the time. It was Epic! I drenched myself in it. The 80s were the Absolute best. The pentacle of human existence. We had the values of the past and the beginning of technology. People had huge freedoms but the discipline to not destroy themselves.
I’m telling you....it’s been all down hill since then. Anyone that was there can relate.
Tom I love your dog picture. The picture to your left is my dog Roxie. She passed away on Valentine's Day. She blessed our family for 12 years. She died of liver cancer. I was able to hold her and look into her eyes when she died. The last 5 minutes were awful. I really miss her. Stay safe. Semper Fi from an old Marine Sergeant.
Downhill in the precise way that will build the mother of all epic comebacks. Predictions are hard, especially about the future says Neils Bohr. I therefore say this. One is left with one choice. Become the future you want to predict!
Dreams were born in the 80s. Clarity was born in the struggle and darkness that followed. Light comes next!

The 60s and 70s were great too. However, the 80s was the last good decade this world ever had.
Born in '78, so GRATEFUL I grew up in the 80's. Music like this almost brings tears to my eyes, days will never be the same. What a time and young people today will never know what it was like and for that I feel sorry for them.
Me too. I was born in 1973 and grew up with Glenn Frey and The Eagles. There was nothing like the '80's! Too bad that what we have today is not a tenth as good. Hopefully we can all have something better soon. I'd settle for something even half as great as the '80's. Cheers from northeast Ohio.

I was pretty young for most of the 80's but i know what you mean. It seemed like every day and night was magical. Like there was a big adventure around every corner or some unknown something that was great that you were waiting for. The music was better, the movies were bigger. Everything seemed so much more alive. It had to be one of the absolute best decades ever.

That's probably because way back in 1985 (8 years and 9 months before you were born), your parents heard this song, loved it, played it repeatedly (on cassette), which cause their DNA to change to appreciate the sweet, sweet dulcet tones of a moody sax. You should thank them both. 🎷🎶
That means you have good taste in music..
@@2011lizalex thank you 🙏🏽
I turned 28 in May 1985. If it's any consolation 1985 and '86 were the last good years for pretty much everything, across the board. So if you were born in '93 (?) yeah, no way. I was born in '57, and everything's been lousy for most of mine; just not all. Either way, we're all living in this nightmare time, regardless of our ages. The good thing is you can enjoy things from all eras thanks to RUclips. In fact, I want to look at some '75 Monte Carlo videos right now! :-)

"Nobody knows where you're going, nobody cares where you've been..." And THAT, young people, is just one reason why the 80's genuinely belong to a much much much better time/place. Pretty much can't go anywhere, do much of anything (literally as well as comparatively speaking) nowadays. The world still existed on a manageable, human scale. I was 17 in 1985, and would go back again in a heartbeat...and not just for the youth. Cheers.
I agree. Most people who weren’t lucky enough to be around back then don’t know what they missed compared to today. The only other era I’ve heard about that compares to this is the 60’s.
Yeah and no smart phones or social media to track people or peer pressure people to always say where they've been!
All I know is we'll never see anything like that again.
1984
Honestly i think thats an misunderstanding of the lyrics. "Nobody knows where you're going, nobody cares where you've been..." is still the mood of living in every big city. Its expresses the feeling of being one in a million. self-aware and living in it but stilll weirdly disconnectet from all the people around you. I think this music fits perfect in the zeitgeist of today.
The 80s was the first decade that expressed this feeling of loneliness while being surrounded by millions perfectly and in various genres.
And if you think that the youth feels other way today, its just what products want you believe. Still nobody cares where you have been, even though you post it on tiktok or instagram. Its just easier today to get out of the "grey" and get recognised than in the 80s.
I do see the 80s superior against every other decade but i dont think that this song dont fit your narrative.
Its timeless for me.
One cool thing about the music from the 80's, was this, there was a song for every mood, celebration and situation of life. It was truly a special time😎.

R.I.P Glenn Frey. this is a classic and for ever be heard...
I thought that was a rumour... omg
Sadly no. Not sure if the lawsuit over his death was ever settled though.
@@matth1143 How did he died
He was suffering from arthritis and was prescribed a medicine that supposedly led to his contracting colitis and pneumonia. He developed complications from the latter and was put into a medically induced coma where he died from complications of all three. It has been suggested that the medicines he was given may have compromised his ability to fight off the pneumonia and may have contributed to his death in that way. His widow Cindy Millican filed suit against the hospital and I think maybe his doc/surgeon for wrongful death.
You are so right. Best song by this great singer.

80s + NYC + classic pop/rock (that beautiful sax!) = you can't get more nostalgic than this.
You should check out the Friday the 13th Jason takes Manhattan, with the opening intro song. Have a feeling you'll love it. Doesn't have a sax, but has all those other components.
The spirit of the 80s needs to to come back into this world!
I'm with you.
yes it does
I agree!
I dont think it would ever come bsck. Thsts just a one decade thing. All we have is memories. We love all these mrmories becsuse we were just a child. Innocent of the world.
No cell phones! You left your house and that was that. Only the answering machine was left. I miss the freaking 80's man!
electronica Music 10-4 on that
it was a magical time thats for sure
You are completely right
Wish i was alive during the 80s must of been fun born in 89
In some ways, technology ruined everything.
The perfect 80´s sound
The 80's is a vibe that needs to be brought back.
Gotta kill cancel culture and marxism first.
Yeah, maybe in eastern Europe the 80s are happening somewhere.
*cracks knuckles*, Son, have you heard of NewRetroWave?
DO IT
@@mgratk The right seems MUCH more willing to cancel each other, and what they don't like, than the left. Just look at Liz Cheney and Sesame Street for god's sake. The literally voted to not consider her a Republican anymore because she dared to defy trump, and they sent out a press notice about how Sesame Street is not allowed at CPAC. Cancel Culture has become a staple of the right-wing. It's all they have left at this point.
This is one of the big hits from the TV Show Miami Vice. And it caught the feel of the show fairly well.
I was 17 yrs old when Miami Vice came out ~ I remember it was a big deal at the time to watch an exciting new show. The opening music theme was incredible.
Yes, every time I hear this song I think of Miami Vice.
Glenn is passed away but left for us this masterpiece .
Yes, sad, that he has gone..!!
He left a great empty 😔
Man, times sure have changed.
Every time I see the Twin Towers It makes me cry. I'm typing this through tears.
I can't even look at pictures of it.
@ALF ALPHA I was in New York in 1991 and saw the Twin Towers but didn't go up to the observation deck. 10 years later they were gone.
I love this video, but I cringe inwardly every time I see the shots of the Twin Towers.
The twin towers were a symbol of richness, power, wealth in USA but also peace, trade, balance. Once gone the world we knew changed and still changing now, even more quickly.
Hopefully one day, somewhere in lower Manhattan, new twin towers will rise again....
I love the cinematography of this video. It embodies everything New York was back then.
Best era in music...and my life..people could smoke anywhere, say what the wanted, dress and wear anything, such a stress free time.
We were thick skinned
Before cancel culture took over.
Lets build a time machine and go back i wish😊
@@MegaSammy70 Lies. I distinctly remember whole towns not getting MTV, that "Satanic rock" foolishness, and the campaign against "The Last Temptation of Christ."
@@basbleupeaunoire thats not cancel culture. that was preventing sh!t getting into the homes and in little kids minds, for good reason. look what the internet did
The 80's may have gone but,the memories of the classics music of the tv series of the miami vice lives on and will last forever...
Who here remembers Miami Vice?
Don Johnson heck yea a major hottie!
Like it was yesterday.
Started watching it yesterday! Really nice for something for the 80s. Most shows from the 80s didn't age well...
Watched every new episode
Remember. Bish it never stopped
ONE of the greatest "city" songs EVER! And that saxophone! They just don't make them like this anymore.
FACTSSS
no they dont
Contemporary music has absolutely no soul...
I love sax in rock. Tim Cappello did a great job with the sax...I think he released his first album last year. I think I Still Believe was the first song of note he sang in as well though.
80's songs have real music and chord changing and some instrumental. not like 4 chords song.
I worked Friday nights and recorded every episode on VHS. The 80's were the best decade.
I hate this crap we live in now.
David Harrell I worked Friday nights too. My parents recorded it for me and I’d watch it when I got home. I miss that decade so much.
70’s were great too for Eagles fans
@@solun82 . Ditto!:(
Hell yeah!
New York what an outstanding city. I´m from Germany and been there for the first time two weeks ago. For me it was a dream come true. I love the 80´s and this song makes my heart beating faster and thinking of "my city".....
I envy every single human being who lived back then in the damn 80s !
I'm 44 so I lived through the 80's. How old are you?
And yes, the 80's were magical.
I'm 43, so I was a kid in the 80's..nevertheless, it was an amazing time to have been alive..many of us didn't realize it but the current times we're living in sure remind us how amazing it was.
I was 21 in 1985 and damn it was the best decade to live life!
I was a teenager then! and yes it was RAD!!
I'm 50 so I lived the 90s. That was a fantastic decade. I need a time machine asap!!!
80’s is irreplaceable. Thank God I am a 80’s baby that got to witness this most amazing era in music and movies too. Since I’ll be 36 in April, this stuff still sounds fucken refreshing to my ears compared to the garbage being made today.
Long live the 80’s greatness hands down
Me two i be 36 in August
Ksi Roby Wow what a cool coincidence. I guess you were born in 1983 then too eh?
You're just a pup, but yes this is good tunes. I like the music of my earlier times during Vietnam, we had some killer tunes then too
Cool!
NJDevils IsMyTeam2112535 not all new music is bad listen bb kings bluesville or other stations
Let’s put the saxophone back into rock music!
Cameron Barnes let’s do it!
totally agree! In the 80s, Sax was a big part in rock and pop music!
That's when you knew it was time to party
For real.. The World needs more Sax.
Actually, it is a mixture of rock and new wave.
Nobody knows where we're going; 2024 and a new Century, the Digital Age... it gets better than ever and hotter❤❤ Thank-you Glenn, the best song ever
20 years since the 9/11 attacks.. its just feels strange, nostalgic, and comforting all at the same time to see that old New York City skyline with the twin towers in the background. As a lifelong New Yorker ill always love this video. RIP Glenn, and RIP to all we lost on 9/11/2001.
I know 2 people from NY and both independently said the same thing.
According to them, the city was great during the 80s and 90s but since the attacks it changed so much that it is not worth living there anymore.
One of them actually moved to Tampa, got a good job opportunity there in 2018.
AMEN!!! SAY IT AGAIN 😢😔✌️
I agree. I have been to NYC just one time, on 2011. Heartbreaking I never saw the twin towers in person. :-(
fuck new york and fuck everybody from new york
I'm British and I've never been to the US, but I know much about your country from the movies I've seen. I've seen lots of movies set in New York city. I to miss the twin towers, obviously not to the degree that you do, but I feel a sense of loss, it's strange, hard to explain. God bless New York city and the victims of 9/11. ❤️🇬🇧
