Why does this sound so good, the other RUclips versions of this track are magic, but this just sounds so much better and haunting. But then this is a Peel Session!!!!!! 😱😱😱👍👍👍🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Oh my gosh! The Peele sessions are a wonderous thing! All the bands I love from the mid-70s on, that I was never going to see live, way off in Canada while it was all going on, have done Peele sessions that I can watch/hear. I dont know if I can convey here how much these vids mean to me! Im almost 60 & these songs are etched in my being......all these years later, I still feel what I felt listening for the first time, but now I know all the words, & I, believe it or not, still wish I could have been in GB, seeing it all for myself. Instead, I have exposed my kids & nephews/nieces to it all & changed the way they listen to modern music. After all....I remember where it all began, & there are very few modern groups that are anywhere near as good & innovative.
Back in the day, this got requested by friends and played for me over the PA at Fresher's Fair in the Student's Union at the University of Liverpool. I was manning the stall for the German Department, of course!
Watching totp2 last year, these appear and blew me away with this song. Too young to appreciate the song when it first came out. It’s the chords and wailing guitar that does it for me.
Finbarr Dolan: great comment. I call it the washing wall of guitar sound, a sound that was an essential part of New Wave Brit music & that got lost for a few decades. Ive noticed, it is coming back in the Canadian & other music scenes & I coulnt be happier.
Yep, just as I thought! I've found the cassette tape of the very same Peel session I recorded all those years ago! Try the album with this on. You're in for a treat.
Een nagenoeg onbekende band met nogal middelmatige rock, maar dit nummer springt ver uit boven die middelmatige rest. Het gaat dan vooral om het gitaarwerk op de studioversie. Het niveau van dat gitaarwerk stijgt volgens mij zelfs uit boven dat van Dire Straits! Geen geringe prestatie! Jammer dat het daarbij gebleven is.....
One of the most perfect, quintessential songs of the 80's.
indeed it is
Pure gold. Haunting guitar and vocals
A rare masterpiece
Had the great, good fortune to see them in London 5/6 times...absolutely stunning live !
Suburbia club spring 1981. Late sat. Night. I danced this song possessed, it was pure psyco drama. I gave all out of myself. All ! Amazing.
..
Perfect version of an unforgettable theme, what a wonderful early 80's🎸♥️
Great song !We miss songs like this !
We do indeed Peter…
Thank FK for John Peel sessions RIP

It's a recording from a Peel session. Wish I could get my hands on the original audio. The quality sucks
Brilliant, top track, really miss the 80's,
The 80's best decade of my life
Timeless classic after all these years
nothing can beat mr timperleys guitar happy memories at

Possiblely the best early 80s ever.
Still sounds amazing ❤️
One of my favourite songs of all time!
I'm listening to this again on 5 November 2021. John Peel, what can you say except thank you.
Im in love with this song.❤
I listen to this most days
i'm in love with a german filmstar song
3:18 onwards - wow!!!
John Peel, you are missed. Bigstyle.
One of the best tracks I’ve ever heard..

My first text
💥 sublime
The base guitar is incredible ,haunting and mesmerising
The bass guitar isn't bad, either.
It really Moved Me
Just brilliant, speak about nostalgia, takes me right back to the 80’s😁
Eternal song ....

Guitar using a effect called Echoplex, believe originally recorded onto looped tape, now electronic. Have a Google.
@@robinavalyn9513 “Washing wall of guitar sound” - I like that, it sums up the sound pretty accurately.
absolute classic
uff and thrice uff
Just fantastic
Yep, just as I thought! I've found the cassette tape of the very same Peel session I recorded all those years ago! Try the album with this on. You're in for a treat.
30,000 feet was one of the first albums I bought. Stands the test of time !
With Colin Newman's vocals this could almost fit onto Wire's 'Chairs Missing'.
Everything about it is impeccable
❤️🎈Timeless Always🎈❤️, Since i heard this upon it’s Release on The RADio It Really Moved Me & i Bolted to The Record Store! Best, dtf
that intro.........PHEEENOM ENAL !!!!!!!!
AWESOME
Saw these support Killing Joke always loved this song. Its about the original Sex Pistols roadie hevwent ti Germany made few films.
classic
Peel -
amazing
This version has sort of a Xymox feel to it, parts just sort of drift away like: 1:55
One of my favourite things about this version.
Yeah. I'm eith you there. Love it. Such a lovely vibe,and vocally, just dont get it anymore. It's all sound that sounds the same. GOD I'm old . HaHa.
Thank You : )
Check out Cocteau Twins, SerpentSkirt it's eerily similar
slightly similar, slightly.
today too, two times
and today AGAIN
Shining gem
R I P ...
and today
a tune of mammoth proportions
I can hear Bela Lugosi's dead in there...
like today for example
you've guessed it
