Ive loved Adrian and The Sound ever since i first heard Missiles and I Cant Escape Myself on the radio around 1980-81. The sheer emotion from Adrian here is one of those very significant moments in music history. The leader of one of the greatest bands of the early 80s, standing very tall and shouting wake up and follow me.
My late best friend went to The Hague that day. Not to protest, but to see The Sound. He saw them at least 6 times in those years.I always envied him for that, I was too young..
I've been trying to transcribe what he says in the middle of the song: It's not the technology, you know It's not the technology that's the problem We're the problem You can't blame nuclear power Blame the people that control the nuclear power You stop taking technology backwards And we're all gonna f*cking die We're all gonna die in some little bit of ground In the dirt, back to the land Back to the land, back to the grass Up your f*cking ass, wake up It's the 20th century, the 20th century Technology to protect people Technology to help people F*ck technology that destroys people Come on, wake up [?] I feel so [?] inside Working hard to never [?]
Best band from 1980 to 85 easy. People need to introduce themselves to Adrian borland n the sound otherwise they know shit all about post,-,punk. Facts
@@alexwalton593 what a fucking shame, its a crime that his live performances werent documented more, ian and especially borland are my motivators yet he didnt gain much attention for his work, just cant see how someone who i hold in such high esteem doesnt even have his most popular song recorded...a fucking shame
@@gabrielceballos8789 you have to remember that i cant escape myself is only the most popular now, its really just an album track and if you look at bootleg tracklists they hardly ever played it live. but yes i agree completely its a damn shame.
This is a great song by an amazing band, but it's also indisputable proof that fans of The Sound have great taste in music, but no sense of rhythm whatsoever.😂
@@agustinalejandrogerosa7069 lol , I love this music . All I said was that they were terrible on stage . I feel Spanish shame But if you listen to their recorded albums the music is excellent . Wipe the foam from your mouth
A tad harsh imo, remember this was 1982! We’re talking pre-MTV days here. Most live recordings from back then sound like total shit. This wasnt televised so its not broadcast quality video (as far as i know) so there's no line in. We're hearing the video pick up of the noise coming through stage monitors (i think). Also, its a festival: factor in they wouldn’t have had sound check beforehand cos there's multiple artists on the bill (I think Adrian was lucky to make it on stage at all, after a mix up with security over his backstage pass). Plus there’d be a sound engineer on the mixing desk who likely never worked with the band before (I stand to be corrected on this point though!) just like what happens at music festivals these days. 40 years later, sitting here streaming this on a mobile phone n listening w bluetooth headphones I reckon its incredible we can still enjoy the music and that moment in time with The Sound. All things considered I think they sound pretty damn good! 🙂
One of the best concerts ever filmed. It needs a restoration. Real, overwhelming genuine anger from Adrian here. He really meant it, and he was right.
What he said about technology was so poignant, still rings true to this day.
I'm personally astounded / confronted by Joy Division's prescience - Digital Glass Rudolph Hess etc
So punk and raw, I love it.
the boy was a genius... I have From the lions mouth signed!
still missing this band in 2024
this track drives me nuts and this is one the best version ever heard raw and intense

Instant 'LIKE' just for sharing this gem from the Greatest Band You've Never Heard
Still relevant in February 2022. Europe in danger.
Sadly, still relevant. Going to keep listening to this one again and "Up the Down Escalator" by the Chameleons in the following days.
ANOTHER masterpiece.
Haven't heard this song since 1982/3 when I was working as a gardener in a mental hospital in Aberdeen. Awesome.
Technology to protect people, Technology to help people, fuck technology that destroys people!
Beautiful truthful words.
doesn't get truer than thay
My late best friend went to The Hague that day. Not to protest, but to see The Sound. He saw them at least 6 times in those years.I always envied him for that, I was too young..
I've been trying to transcribe what he says in the middle of the song:
It's not the technology, you know
It's not the technology that's the problem
We're the problem
You can't blame nuclear power
Blame the people that control the nuclear power
You stop taking technology backwards
And we're all gonna f*cking die
We're all gonna die in some little bit of ground
In the dirt, back to the land
Back to the land, back to the grass
Up your f*cking ass, wake up
It's the 20th century, the 20th century
Technology to protect people
Technology to help people
F*ck technology that destroys people
Come on, wake up
[?] I feel so [?] inside
Working hard to never [?]
i hear
i feel so used inside
broken hearts are never empty... right
Jeopardy's one of my fav albums!
one of the best records ever made
I just bought a jeopardy shirt online im going to wear it everywhere
I wonder how long it will be before someone says " Hey, I love that album and that band"??
@@buney doubt it will occur
If it does ill be very surprised
Good album,but From the lions Mouth was better
Amazing Song!!!!!!! A TRUE masterpiece!!!!!!
Immediate like, as soon as I tied together the words "Missiles" and "Live" by The Sounds ... Thanks you so much for sharing this amazing Live...
Among the best music ever made.
He was Jim Morrison the second coming.. he even sounds like him here... scary
Jim wasn't even anything close to Adrian in terms of being the foking genius guitar player and composer.
@@stasiaya984 Amen! Adrian is.. simply the best
Best band from 1980 to 85 easy. People need to introduce themselves to Adrian borland n the sound otherwise they know shit all about post,-,punk. Facts
absolutely
Fuck yes dude. I consider The Sound to be THE post punk band. The quintessential effort, the very best it has to offer!
@@massivegat5087 yeah but what about the Editors?
I was there, it was sooo intense!
Wake up to the sound everybody
I'm obssesed
Thier concerts were always amazing...my first love was this band
So so good!
You ask Adrian.. I could right now die.. Shhh.. You were so right, we never were the problem! How much hopefulness you left us 💔 Go on!
It's time not be so talented as Adrian
Becomes only more and more important
I NEED a t-shirt of this
Damn. He was sure that Chernobyl is going to happen soon (1986)
I thought that was weezy f baby in the thumbnail
Thank You!
Brilliant!!!
RIP 💜
Mai attuale come in questi giorni...."Who hell made those missiles"

Exactly!

Well , now I see why they are not popular
They sound awful at concerts.
