- I wasn't trying to get the best visuals, that's not really possible from a distance. Just capturing the essence of the performance.
The Human League Mk 1 recorded two versions of Being Boiled. Heaven 17 always perform this one, whilst The Human League do the "fast version"
I really would love to hear THL do this version.

Hi Will, I saw the original Human League line up back in 1978 when they supported Siouxsie and the Banshees. I was blown away by "Being Boiled" and "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" and have been a fan ever since. I still have my original 7" single of "Being Boiled" in mono on the Fast record label.
Just checked and I've still got my 7" mono Fast label in the pink sleeve with Circus of Death on the B side. I must admit I bought on a recommendation and I went back to guitars and songs but I'll never sell it.
Was at that gig as well. My wife, her brother and his wife have always been big into 70s/80s electro/new wave (big Gary Numan fans) - I'm more of an 80s/90s guitar band fan - Smiths, Oasis, etc.
Have to say I was blown away - a fantastic gig. Got there early and they might as well have just put a CD on instead of Rusty Egan, but it was a great night.
This lot are only here because of phil oakeys success.with the Human league.
😂
I don't like Glen at all singing Being Boiled. Philip still does it in The Human League sets and it's the only voice that should be sining it. The End. And why are the woman even singing on this, it never featured female backing vocals!
🙄
Prefer the original, but the whole point of doing a cover is to bring your own interpretation to it. Sometimes it’s better, and sometimes not.
The Synthesizer has a brass tune, but HL Mark 1 Had No brass. Female Vocals were maybe never featured, in the original Being Boiled, because there were only male members. Glenn would be the original HL Mark 1 Singer, If he Had Not left Sheffield for carrier and fortune. There are many Tracks of HL Mark 1 without vocals. The HL Mark 1 and Heaven 17 were Avantgarde because of Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh. Maybe Phil should have not sung about misunderstood Indian Religion, maybe He should have sung about the dream becoming a Male Donna Summer, singing i am only human, without paying more then he earned to very Business Like American Producers and Songwriters. HL Mark 1 was according to David Bowie the Future of Music. HL Mark 2, or what industry and Mr. Oakey Made out of it, was a Big Mac Meal comparable to a Star Cuisine Menu.
It's called 'artistic licence'.
It's the realm of artistes performing covers.
Rachel and Kelly are so tasty
