It’s amazing how many times I wanted to see this again and could never find it but now I have,it takes me back to a better time when life was so much simpler compared to NOW 🙄
Stunning. This has stayed with me since seeing this on the Tube. I could never believe how exceptional this was and after seeing it after all these years still can't.
Same! The uruh-uh-uh, uruh-uh-uh! bit at the end stayed in my subconscious since 1987. For many years I actually wondered if I had imagined it or not. It turns out, the matrix has yielded to my imagination and humoured me.
I remember this from an Adam and Joe show special when channel 4 hit 20 years old. Always stuck with me and listen to them regularly some 20 years later. I messaged the singer on something like Instagram or Twitter - can’t remember which one - had a chat about it and I said thanks and good work. Seemed like a nice guy.
1. From 1986. 2. Also on a 7 inch (I have both). 3. They didn't storm off the label in a huff - they spent 18 months of litigation trying to get released from their contract due to record label interference that ruined their songs from what the band intended them to sound like. Nothing wrong with doing that.. There's some radio sessions for the BBC that shows the rough tracks that so far have gone unreleased.
amazing ,,,were did you get this?????.....gotta say a big thanks ,,,,,never thought i would see this again,,,,,,,you tube users seem to get all this weird and wonderfull stuff and post it,,,,,,regular tv would never ''get '' this band ......ta ......ya top gonzo
Yes. The follow up single Power Station had a bit too much Fairlight magic as Be Dekard (Vocals) recalls: When we were working with Steve Lipson they literally had to drag me from the studio. I was so incensed that someone could spend 700 pounds of our money on complete bullshit." 18 months of legal action and they were freed from ZTT, momentum had gone.
Malau - I was the lead guitarist in his post-Rangers band “Das Melodia” in Los Angeles during the early 90’s. Pretty funny story behind that involving the original broadcast of this performance and my reaction to it while living in Brighton... Anyway, I had the amazing privilege of paying on his material (live and in the studio) for just over two years. What a great songwriter and singer. Most of all he was so nice to everyone. Just a really caring person. Eventually, management were too busy with other bands, and he moved back to England. In fact I almost got into a car accident driving him to the airport. I did see him in 1999 when he was managing the Barfly nightclubs. He’s done very well for himself and as far as I know he hasn’t done music since leaving LA. But sorry, he’s not driving busses.🤣

My favourite TV performance of all time, it only took me 30 years to find a recording of it!

Yes! That's how I heard of them too! I'm fairly sure I still have that Adam & Joe Special taped off the TV somewhere!
Found this today, 30 some years later, remember like it was yesterday, never thought I’d see this again
Big muso, not a big Tube fan I have to say but a great performance.Interesting enough to draw me back from right out of nowhere..30+ years later.

Ive still got this on 12", many thanks 4 uploading...gr8 to see it again. As with others it well left an impression.
I cannot thank you enough for uploading this exceptional musical moment, hitherto lost in the mists of time
I've been looking for this on and off for 30 years.
just go to shows that brilliance is lost on fools this is lost perfection
Love this. Best thing ever from the 80's
the most important band could have changed everything
Thnaks man, I saw this at the time and been looking for them ever since.
the first part of this track is just stunning stuff - what a voice and what a song.

I far prefer this to the recorded version.
Anyone have the 'other' tracks that were on the 12" release? Media Terrorists etc?
Thanks for posting wasn't this band signed to ZTT?
