DD had some of the more interesting popukar songs for a couple of years - and things like the syncopation here - doing its own thing but fitting perfectly - are a big part of why I listened to them.

Hopefully this will work. Here's two from a kind of a one off project where I and the second guitarist I played with for several years were asked to play a concert at a youth camp. This was about 1984 maybe 85. We found out later it was professionally recorded with a boom box.... Therefore the quality is not good. I did have a guy clean it up a little.
The singer (Ron) was the guy who gave me my one bass lesson and let me use his old Ampeg PF. (That was early on--I used my Peavey and 215s.) Ron was crazy good and still does studio work and does jazz gigs. He played a late 60s 335 through a Twin Reverb (maybe Princeton). He knew how to play and fantastic thick, cutting tone. Always sounded crazy good live. Ron was playing the Southern circuit in the late 60s and his band played with some that later were well known. His band did one album that I know of. Chris played a Kramer strat type guitar which is thin sounding--a guitar I never cared for. Ron does the playing at the beginning.
His wife sang as well as any I've ever heard. She could play double bass (didn't like electric), chello, piano, oboe, flute, and likely something I'm forgetting. The drummer was the only one who really didn't play much at that time. I was playing a 80ish Jazz.

One with Lynette singing.

Had about a few songs from being asked to play on some demos, but who knows where those might be.

Your post about the Greg Kihn Band prompted a shout out to Gary Hobish. In a very strange serendipity of circumstances, Gary Hobish mastered The Sean Conneries recent CD/streaming recordings : Eponymous. Greg Kihn was among many artists Gary mastered for over many years. Scanning his past illustrious clients (on the link below) - one in particular stood out for me. It was a "re-master" of an infamous Sonny Sharrock LP "Black Woman" with his wife Linda Sharrock on vocals. One of the most intense performances I've ever heard and makes the hair stand up on my neck every time I listen to it, which frankly is not often because it's too intense. I had no idea how deep his credits went - RIP Gary - too young to leave us. The takeaway (for me) is that the little time I spent with him gave me the distinct impressions of him being a very nice person and a consummate professional.
His passing was (needless to say) unfortunate, but was clouded in issues which were widely publicized once the dust settled.
Anyway, check out the links

Keep in mind this was around 83-84 and recorded to cassette in a garage. I transferred it to digital a while back and attempted to clean it up a little.
And ummm yeah that's me on vocals
Cool. Raw, as it should be. I was never into punk, but that's some serisously exciting stuff.

Was there a time with you sucked at bass?
Like a truck stop bathroom key.
I worked with a drummer 70-72 that could have taken over the day after Keith Moon died and hardly anyone would've known. He even looked a lot like him. He'd been in a Who cover band b4 I worked with him although we were in high school at the same time. He played trombone; I played sax in the H.S. marching band.
Well, technically y'all are Americans. As are Mexicans.

Dang! Pretty frantic, but well done. I've never been in anything that exciting.
AFA recordings: there are a few videos of the current group playing live. Main problem is that they are continuous videos of full sets. I don't have the knowledge of how to capture one tune out of a video. I'll see if I can get my BiL to separate one or two. I do have this from 2018, which I've posted b4(note the terrific lighting

Ah! Found this clip from a jazz trio thing we did in February 2017. The tune is called "Twisted".

I do like some DD songs (JT did play a Kubicki Ex-Factor
) ... but we've attempted to play "View to a Kill" in BG and I've always found it to be a poorly written clique'd song that is very hard play enjoyably. Not one of the best JB songs IMO.
