Lead singer Fee Waybill, dressed as character Quay Lewd, sings “White Punks on Dope” as he performs with The Tubes at the Guild Theatre in Menlo Park, Calif., on Thursday, March 7, 2024. The Bay Area band was an art/glam-rock sensation in the ’70s, initially building a fan base with its cheeky teen anthem “White Punks on Dope.” Then, in the ’80s, the band adopted a mainstream pop-rock sound and found success on MTV and the charts with “Talk to Ya Later” and “She’s a Beauty.
“That was an entrance, wasn’t it?” Waybill remarked after being helped up off the floor. “I don’t think I will do that again.” The first highlight of the night was “What Do You Want from Life?” — a standout track from The Tubes’ landmark eponymous 1975 debut and the inspiration for the title of the equally great concert outing, 1978’s “What Do You Want from Live.” Waybill stood amid a swirling gale of groovy hard rock created by the other four men onstage and uttered the quizzical, comical lines with a kind of perplexed deadpan delivery.
