This was my generation. I live in America and, when I was 16, used to pick up NME to find out who the next great ban was. We had Blondie, Talking Heads, Iggy, The Ramones, and Lou Reed. You guys had, well, everyone else. Thank you, Britain.
Allan Ostermann Yeah mate, but Ramones started it all. Street punks who couldn't play too well. The Pistols and their entourage were a load of pretentious students, also look at Joe Strummer, his dad was a diplomat and he was playing shite r n b before he saw Ramones in mid 76 and jumped ship, having said that, i do love the Clash n Pistols, Thank you Forest Hills and those 4 stupid punks who changed it all.
I think 60s bands like The Velvet Underground and MC5 had a lot to do with it, too. I wasn't aware how many punks came from privileged backgrounds. I just saw a documentary on Paul Weller (The Jam, etc). He was a real working class hero. His dad was his manager. I respect that. Still love the others.
Pauleymack They didn't. What they did (as before them VU and MC5) was show to everyone that more or less talentless duds - or say: non-musicians - can become rock stars and have (and provide) loads of fun. In England, Punk was completely different, much more serious, much more dangerous, and way more interesting.
Allan Ostermann Buddy, you had IGGY POP!
Allan Ostermann Indeed. Suggesting the Velvets (and practitioner of classical avant-garde, John Cale in particular) were non-musicians is pretty ludicrous
I'm so glad the commercials were not edited out. those were enjoyable bits of culture.
The 80's commercials were just so magical
This entire video is absolutely packed with iconic performances. WOW
Boy, Iggy's been looking for his shirt for a long time now.
I didn't realize he ever had a shirt lol
lol
hahahaha, heavenly comment!
nice live footage. that version of "passenger" is epic!
Wow, glad someone else watched and taped this. My introduction to punk. Loved, The Fall, Wreckless Eric and The Jam. The whole lot actually.
Oh good heavens! What a time for the tape to run out! My favourite song from my favourite band! This is such a good doco!
great performance by the jam on here
Thank you so much for making this available, it's priceless.
It was an absolute must I saw this having seen it on Channel 4 when it was originally broadcast. Thank you so much for posting 👍
Thankyou so much for uploading this! I taped this when it was on, on a V2000 cassette. All these years later I bought a V2000 player explicitly to retrieve this and put it on DVD, only to find the footage has deteriorated beyond belief! Awesome program with some superb iconic performances from The Jam, XTC, Blondie and the best version of Alison by Elvis Costello...!
WOW! How great was it to see this. This is the music that made me who I am. Buzzcocks-XTC-Ian Dury-Magazine-Wreckless Eric- all of them!! My tears of joy are falling like the sweat from Nick Lowe's chin. This has been a real treat
I love this!!! It's a real blast from the past for me. Although I was never a punk as such, I always loved the music - especially the more 'creative' aspects of it. I'm still a massive fan of Tom Robinson and Elvis Costello, and regularly listen to them now. Thank you for uploading this gem!
You were there dont ya lover
För min syster på hennes 50 års dag! Grattis! Love foreever!
the Pistols were so much better with Matlock on bass
1967PONTIACGTO he moves alot,and everyone moves alot,it was truly an energetic show,they really should have kept him
***** Sid definitely looked good up there, and the disaster that was his life kind of fit thematically...and he adds enormously to the legend, so yeah, you have to love Sid too ...but musically, Glen really makes the whole thing tight
+1967PONTIACGTO especially 'cause he was the main songwriter
+1967PONTIACGTO Sid looked good? He looked like what he was, a strung out heroin addict with zero musical talent.

Damn shame that tape failed. That last track was amazing. Thank you so much for posting this.
This is fantastic! Thanks for uploading it!
Such rare early footage. Thank you!
Top upload!! Love Tony Wilson/Factory - the Ian Dury prayer was great as well!
Also thank you for keeping the 80s adverts on! - memory lane!!! :D

Thanks so much for this!
Elvis Costello 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great to see this again, ta for the upload. :)
Total Time Capsule - adverts and all! Thank you!!
Incredible Upload!!! Thanks so much!!! I learned A LOT and was enamored the whole way through......only to be shot even higher with that Siouxie clip at the end!!! Can't wait to show it to my Drag Queen Daughter, she'll flip her wig fer sure!!! The Jam, Buzzcocks and Iggy spots captured my attention 100%....and now I want to know more about XTC and Tom Robinson Band!!!!!
Wow! I saw this when it was broadcast! Have never forgotten it! Thanks for the upload.
Great stuff! Thank you for this salvaging.
been looking for this awesome .thank you.
Thanks for uploading this!
yes I do so love my punk, what a fantastic time in our lives, plus a goldmine of the pioneers of punk.....loving all this.......ap
Saw this when it aired in 1986. I was 15 punk wasn't even nostalgic then.It was still kind of recent... It was made by Granada & mostly shot in Manchester's electric circus......Amazing footage. Loved it then & love it now aged 43....I have sinced filmed many of these bands.
Allison is my favorite love song of all time and this solo version is really top notch. Brings tears to my eyes just listening.
Costello is top notch.I still have the album "my aim is true"👍
A love song? I guess so.
I know you put this out over ten years ago, It just came out on my feed. I’m glad it did. Thanks for finding this and sharing it with everyone.
I wish that Poly Styrene and the X Ray Spex and The Slits got more exposure :D Poly Styrene is so amazing and X Ray Spex are my favorite band right now and The Slits are all about girl power :D
This is awesome! The music, commercials! Nice snapshot of early 80s England
Excellent! the adverts too!
Goodness I haven't seen this since its original airing around 1987?? Thanks so much for posting & in great quality
Thank you so much that was amazing.
Awesome upload, thanks! The Jam were excellent!
We had to go to Greenwich Village to the Golden Disc and other import shops to find punk rock records. The other kids were stuck with Zep and Skynyrd and corporate rock and the girls listened to Poco and the hippies dug the Dead. I scribbled the lyrics to Clash songs on the chalkboard in high school and the teachers just laughed. My friends couldn't believe I didn't want to go with them to hang out and hear ELP.
What a great posting. Thanks.
I was so lucky to se a lot of these when I was a yoof.
I wanted to drop a quick comment on this and sat THANKS!! I have looked and searched for this little blast from the past, somewhere I have it on VHS myself but where is lost in the decades, I remember reliving the moments when this was aired and I did it again thanks to this vid, so cheers!!!!!
what a huge load of memories there.siouxsie & the banshees for me.what a dream girl,my idol.
Brilliant. I have a VHS version of this. I recorded it when the programme was first aired on TV - Complete with all the adverts of the time.
Lived those times as a young lad in the 70s. I used to buy the NME when i was 10 and looking back i can't believe i read it.
Thanks for this!! Had it on VHS at the time. Exactly as I remember it. The John Cooper Clarke poem is brilliant. You'll never see a nipple in the Daily Express
So glad I found this (without looking) Fate!
Great documentary! Thanks!
Cheers!
But any documentary on punk that doesn't start
with The Ramones and omits The Damned is woefully incomplete.
At least it starts out with " the story begins, for television, anyways..." which is true.
Both Joe Strummer and Captain Sensible admitted there probably wouldn't be an English punk scene without The Ramones.
I miss these days when bands were unique and pretty much anything goes.
Agreed
We watched a doc the other night about modern Irish bands….never mentioned SLF. WTF was that all about
great early clip of XTC .saw them around this time ,first punk/new wave i saw ,apart from the support band ,the Now..............fekin brill times................
Brilliant. Nice to see Jordan getting a few words in. Cool woman.
Well, I'm glad there's others out there that consider Ian Dury punk. He always was, and always will be, one of the great songwriters and vocalists of punk rock, up there with John Lydon and Jello Biafra.
He was more part of the "new wave" as the video heading indicates , just like E. Costello , who was hardly "punk".
Yeah, but new wave was considered part of punk in the beginning. It was called new wave so it could get places punk couldn't. For instance, Blondie are a new wave and pop rock band, but were part of the first wave of CBGB bands, playing with the Ramones and Dead Boys, and were welcomed in the community at the time. Same with Dury. It's one of those things of being punk without being punk rock, you know?
Yeah Dury was more part of new wave, he never gozzed on anyone or stuck a safety pin through his ball sack put it that way.
@@PAULLONDEN He was more pub rock than anything else, and he predated new wave. "New wave" like "punk" was a catch-all. A lot of stuff called punk and new wave was just power pop.
Doctor who called him punk! 😅
Awesome piece of history....THANKS!
This is fantastic stuff. I just miss this kind of raw insight and integrity. Just makes me realise how truly owned and fucked we are today.
These are great but there's good stuff in every generation.
It got worst!
what a freakin awesome doco. Too bad it cut out in the middle of Magazine - Bazza Adamson is still one of me all time faves.
Thanks heaps doco uploader person!
that was great! brings back lots of musical memories.
Despite the punk movement, The Pistols and the Clash were real legends in the entire history of music over the ages
hell yeah THE RAMONES too that stuff is so accepted now it's almost considered classic rock. and yes i agree several punk bands over the years have been absolutely epic. DEAD KENNEDY'S, THE BUZZCOCKS, BAD RELIGION, etc. love it.
@@NoirL.A. NO THE IN BUZZCOCKS .. oh ... you're an American
@@BoudicaJ say what?
Stranglers are the real legends
@@NoirL.A.If it wasn’t for the Buzzcocks there’d never have been a Green Day. They ripped off their entire act and I like them. Therefore they are thieves not to mention the fake English voice of Billy Joe Armstrong!? Wtf really.,? The Buzzcocks; Stiff Little Fingers are the absolute best example of this. Listen to them and see for yourself if you don’t agree with millions of others. Bad Religion wasn’t even around in the early years of punk’s existence until they became hugely popular in the early 90’s obviously 🙄.

I love the fact the original adverts are on this TV classic!
I like when Jordan is getting interviewed there’s random DEVO in the background
...Righteous..!!! THANK YOU for sharing this..!!!
How in the hell did they miss The Damned???
Same way they missed the Ramones
Because these things are always biased and revisionist. There’s always some bozo who’s gonna tell everyone who he/she thinks “mattered” and who didn’t… often times by completely ignoring them as if they never even existed. I mean, never mind the fact that The Damned were *THEE* first UK punk band to release a single, the first to release a full length album, the first to play in America, the first to break up, and the first to reform.
Goddammit!!!!
Fabulous collection.
Wow. Just wow. Thanks a lot. A lot!
The best music program ever !! Great memorys
thank you!!
Thanks so much for this-priceless.Shame it breaks off when it does,halfway thru 'Motorcade',the best tune off one of the finest underground LPs ever made.What ever happened to rebellious youth eh
Great upload! Thanks for posting. By the way, I can't get over how many people don't know that Glen Matlock was the original bass player and main song writer of the Pistols. Sid couldn't play for toffee apples.
+aristotle358 He could`nt even play for heroin!
electricleg Chuckles! :-)
cheers
+aristotle358 for toffee apples, i gotta brush up on my british slang :)
+keith deringer I'm British and I've never said for toffee apples. People normally say for toffee.
Oh, I watched this on TV as a teenager...must have been 1985 or 86! Great post, thanks.
I had this program on a VHS tape somewhere, but in truly atrocious quality. Thanks for posting.
This is fantastic
Ahhhh man, Buzzcocks........SOOOO good!!!!
Wow beautiful instruments
the great Ian Dury drumming with Wreckless Eric!
this made my night!
the jam was truly epic here!!
Genial documento !!!
lots of interesting footage.never seen this before.wonderful
thank you
I had this on VHS, in fact I still have, direct from Ch4. Loved it.
merci antifrost livs with this Sound respekt
This was the song that made me a Costello fan, thanks for thant
Excellent stuff - guessing it's been mentioned in the comments but thanks so much for keeping the ads in!
I have this on a VHS somewhere. I think it was August 1986 when i recorded it. Not seen it for years so thanks for posting.
Watched this so many times, just brilliant. Stop gobbing at me!
EXCELLENT!!! thanx
Thanks!
Amazing... i was 5 years old while this was happening... what an amazing thing to miss..
Thank you Mr bullock, love yer likkle symbol, made me feel young again, keep the faith as the northern soul people say, with love from an ole traveller now living on a narrowboat, once again, thank you! Xxx
Thanks for this. Never saw the pistols saw the rest tho, even Jcc. I heard a band called Spot were playing local. I was skint, but a couple of mates went. The rest is history.
so good to see this again, thank you for posting - I'm pretty sure I've got this on betamax somewhere, used to watch it to death so it may be even more damaged and invaluable, i don't remember there being much more at the end, but will see if i can dig out the tape :-)
great set of videos but those old skool commercials were geeking me out haha!
OH BLISS!!!Remember the Bill Grundy interview when I was 6 on the telly,my mother and father were rolling on the floor in stitches.
Thanks for posting D Bullock sure awakens the old memories of my days with a Mohican haircut & zips all over my clothing including my knickers exclusively for my then bf when we were up to all sorts in a bus shelter not actually waiting for a bus lol
Bit of a goer, were you Claire?
Life is all memory
I can remember seeing this clip of Iggy doing the passenger when I was at school and it just utterly changed my world. There was something out there beyond the mediocrity and spoon fed garbage you are told is 'normal' every day of your life and all you had to do was search it out. Just mindblowing.
I've seen him in action three times and he never lets the side down, always amazing.
Angela Payne no-no-no! only Elvis!
Слоны Идутнасевер
...and XTC
Never mind the pistols or Iggy or xtc,, The Buzzcocks !! Brilliant thrash, lookxat him play that guitar.
Fast track, what do I get
It's a funny coincidence that those four guys all had an epileptic fit at the same time and the same place on the dance floor at 13.00 min. Nice!
What a fantastic compilation! Sorry, I'd add more, but I must go pogo.
