The Bangles - 1986-08-06 - New York, NY (FM)

I only saw The Bangles live once, on Pier 46 in New York on August 4, 1986, right at the height of commercial success. Their album, Different Light. reached #2 on the Billboard Charts, and spawned 4 top 40 singles, including Manic Monday, which went to #2 in April, and Walk Like An Egyptian, which climbed to the top of the charts for 4 weeks in December. 

This FM broadcast captures the band 2 nights after I saw them at a special concert for MS in New York, on August 6, 1986, 4 decades ago this very day!

The Bangles - 2003-04-14 - Amsterdam, Netherlands (FM)

2000s - #2:  Products of the Los Angeles music scene, The Bangles were the perfect band to capitalize on the rise of the MTv generation and the resurgence of pop music in the late 1980s. While the 1986 album Different Light, which included Manic Monday and Walk Like An Egyptian, gets most of the attention from fans and critics alike, I prefer their first disc, All Over The Place. That one includes Hero Takes A Fall and Going Down To Liverpool, my 2 favorite Bangle tunes. The band broke up in 1998, but after a decade separation, reformed in 1998. After touring in 2000, they spent 2001 and 2002 in the studio recording Doll Revolution, their first album of new material in 15 years. This FM broadcast captures The Bangles in the Netherlands on April 14, 2003, 22 years ago today, on tour in support of that disc.

16. Walk Like An Egyptian 

The Bangles - 1986-10-29 - Pittsburgh, PA (FM)

After gaining some recognition in 1984 with their debut album, All Over The Place, The Bangles found themselves on top of the rock world in 1986 after the release of their second disc, Different Light. The album reached number two on the Billboard Charts, and spawned four top 40 singles, including Manic Monday, which went to #2 in April, and Walk Like An Egyptian, which climbed to the top of the charts for 4 weeks in December. The band also received extensive airplay on MTV, furthering their popularity. The ride at the top would only last another 2 years, but it was fun while it lasted. This FM broadcast captures The Bangles at their peak,in Pittsburgh on October 29,1986, 29 years ago today.  Note - sveral sites have this listed as December 13 but based on my research the December date appears to be when it was broadcast while the actual show took place on October 29.
