Great video.....saw them many times.in the 80s..What an amazing band...pure rock ...totally enjoying themselves..

Brilliant band and wot a guitar player Pat McManus is still gigging with his band incredible musician

This is the band that set me on the path to being a rock musician. Mama's Boys played at my boarding school in Cavan in 1980 and they blew my mind. I'd never experienced the energy of a hard rock gig, and it changed my life. That was it; I decided halfway through that gig that I was going to do that.

I’ve always loved their version of the Slade classic, “Mama We’re All Crazy Now.”

Going to see Pat and band play in a few week. Can't wait.

Never saw them live,until now..2024. Great band . Thanks to the video recording crew and the individual who posted.

Just read a great yet tragic article on the Mama's Boys. They F'N ROCK!

What a band they were! Exceptional, and absolutely connected to their young audience. Personally, I loved 'Run', 'Runaway Dreams' and 'Gentlemen Rogues'.

One last chance live, wow!! Amazing!

Saw them opening for Hawkwind at Preston Guild Hall on 8 October 1981 on Hawkwind’s Sonic Attack tour. My first ‘proper’ rock gig. I was 15, and so was Tommy!! When I next saw them, they’d moved up in the world, to the Knebworth Fayre of 1985 when they were sandwiched between Bernie Marsden’s Alaska and Leslie West’s Mountain. The Professor more than held his own.

Saw them in Spuds, Portstewart in '83. That was a good night.

What a class act....such quality in their original records

Grew up listening to these guys. Great band. Part of my 80s experience.

Superb. The Prof doing a bit of the ole Voodoo Chile etc. Fab player.

Need More Mamas Boys Full Concerts,,,,,

Saw them at dalymount Park in 83

músics de veritat, talent, honestedat... sense autotuning!... mentre hi hagi qui valori joies com aquesta hi ha esperança... mai com ara he tingut la certesa que tot se'n va a la merda, però seeeeeempre , sempre hi ha esperança! quina meravella de video!

Awesome band back then. Saw them in Masons pub in Derry around '79/80.

It's unfathomable that the record company pushed to replace John on vocals. This band needs a biopic (or the "STORY OF" similar to Anvil)

Quelle joie de découvrir cette vidéo ! J'ai été fan des Mama's Boys comme beaucoup de jeunes de 20 ans dans les années 80 : un groupe au destin tragique, mais Pat reste un type adorable (j'ai eu le privilège de le rencontrer trois fois), et sa discographie solo est aussi à découvrir ou réécouter de toute urgence !

That was incredible! I always thought they were an awesome band! I never understood why they weren't bigger in the US.

Saw them supporting Lizzy think it was Thunder & Lightning tour!!!!❤❤

Great Band,,,👍👍👍

This is amazing. Thanks for putting this out there! Loved them since early 80s

leisure länd Galway, Eire, 1983

The Mama’s Boys were one of the few “metal bands” signed to Arista record label. The other was Krokus. Arista was an R&B label.

Saw them open up for Ratt and Twisted Sister back in the day.

Thanks for this , saw the boys more than any other band more than 25 times but never saw such clean footage and especially to see Tommy ! Amazing times .

amazing video

Great gig. Bizarre stage set with the houses in the background.

love the fact that the guitarist is dressed like a "square" guy! had 'em on VHS metal compilation as a kid didn't they play a violin sometimes? wrong band?

Would love to know where this live was filmed.

young Jared Leto playing bass

where are the electric violins?

5 songs in a 40 min set? Could do with less solos/audience participation

Saw these guys open for Ratt and Bon Jovi in 1985. They were better than both.
