One of the greatest and terribly underated bands of the 80s. RIP Pat!

In 1986 I became hooked on the Smithereens, when I heard behind the wall of sleep. It has been played in my house and car, well over a thousand times. Great band, decent and sincere members.
Sleep well Pat.
You made a difference.

[Colichemarde]

Great band. I love that song. So sad that Pat is no longer with us. His voice lives on.

[FanOfFab]

How happy am I that I was at the last 2 BBQ's!!! 2016 and 2011 rocked till we dropped!!! Pat lives in my heart forever!

[jimmyhd]

Damn I miss Pat! A truly great musician!

[MrBlahdiblahdi]

Rest in peace Brother Pat. You were one of the good guys.

[gingerli]

The Smithereens were great. This was a fine transition from their biggest hit via Youtube. If only we were all known for one small moment of greatness like these guys were.

I recall a "house" band playing this, and more, in 1994 while visiting in New Bedford, MA, for a great aunt in a nursing home. Music lives on.

I have always loved the Smitheerens. This is like having them over for a bbq. I feel so lucky to have stumbled on to this video.
