Incredibly tight sound on this performance, especially with the Hammond Organ mixed in. I was 16 when this came out and I was floored. A truly timeless song.
I remember the first time I came across it was in 1993. The song "Say Something" was my favorite. Now, in 2024, I’m still listening to it, from my youth to middle age. As long as I can still hear, I think I’ll keep listening. 我記得第一次接觸的時候，是在1993年。那首SAY SOMETHING是我的最愛。到了現在2024我仍在聽從青年聽到變成中年。在我還聽得見的時候我想我會繼續聽下去。
Thank you for taking the time to upload seemingly every late night musical performance from the era of the Clinton Administration! You obviously used high quality tapes, a great rig, and a good rendering program. I know what a complete pain in the butt it is to transfer old VHS tapes onto the computer, so thank you so much for your invaluable archive and for taking such good care of your tapes over the years...
My pleasure! The results are due to having had good advice at the time about getting a hi-fi stereo recorder [dual head], and the tapes varied, depending on price. Turns out that the best results were on the TDK tapes, IMO. After researching things a bit - and being limited by budget concerns - I ended up getting the Eye-TV Plus encoder for the analog to digital conversion, and then using Handbrake for the final compression, which is what you see here. Yes, real-time transfers take a long time, but it's the only way to "keep" my library now..... Hadn't give a thought about the fact that many of these performances were done during the Clinton years, until you mentioned it - I guess those were relatively happier times. Thanks, again, for the note of appreciation, and nice to know someone understands the work involved :)
December 28 2024 James are the BEST !!!!! Tim ,James everyone my life is better by your music xxx Have a very happy and prosperous year and look forward to your next visit to Glasgow xxxx
Heard it on American Pie and learned it on the guitar and still play and sing it. This song fucking rocks man. Shame nobody else seems to know about it! This guy has serious energy and soul, and the jam is very unique. Hope wherever James is they’re rocking it.
In 89' they came out with SIT DOWN...By far my favorite song from them... WHAT FOR my Second favorite.... But LAID is An amazing song as well... STILL SOUNDS CLASS!! 👍
I think this live performance is one of their better ones as it has a gradual building-up feel to it thanks to the drumming getting slightly faster and faster through the verses....would have been great to dance to this live!!!
i think it's about an unhealthy relationship. she's domineering, controlling, and bad for him in every way. but whenever he tries to break it off she makes him love her again, and he goes crazy when she's not around. the melody and the vocals just make it sound haunting and creepy and at the same time beautiful, just like the relationship the song describes.
…you should here the slow version he played. Theres a pause between “you are driving me crazy” and then. “When are you coming home?!” That shows how doomed he is!!!
Wonderful performance. Fell in love with this band in university over 30 years ago. While Tim gives off a Ben Kingsley / Breaking Bad vibe visually these days, his vocals haven’t changed one bit. ❤
Still listening to this awesome song & band in 2024!! ❤ 🦘
hell yeah!
Me 2
Oh yes!
You gotdam rite beautiful!

How James haven't ruled the music world for decades still has me scratching my head. Incredible band.
Dancing like nobody is watching is the only way to dance, fantastic song and performance
Absofuckinglutely, love his dancing
Ooh Doris! Flop the limp wristed hand down.
Holyshit what an absolutely amazing live performance for any song
This is studio quality and they were able to belt it out live on TV
it's perfect
sounds so fucking good@@Chiron952
What incredible talent. Shame they weren’t around during the classic rock period.
Really could not have put it any way better than you have..
I saw them in 2023, and his voice is still amazing!! (And the wild dancing!)
Came for the high notes stayed for the dance moves.
Not the ‘90s hair and hoop in the ear? 😂
"Medication Time!!!!".
Fantastic
Great song, great band. I bloody loved music in the 90’s.
lol word ✊
I'm watching this in 2023. It's hard to believe it's the same man.
Yah he turned into American history X later on in life
I miss the 90s
Me to
I miss them too!😢
I CANNOT express how much I do miss the 90's
This many years later and this song pops into my head. It is a hilariously underated spectacular jam.
Same bro. Randomly popped into my head. This song can cheer people up.
What’s hilarious about it. It’s a 90’s classic.
@@oregonchris8457 The words. It's really witty. Ofc it's a classic, being funny doesn't take that away
Here in 2023, WXRT in Chicago still plays this from time to time. great stuff
Agreed.
one of the best bands of all time.
One of the most infectious grooves ever written. And Tim booth has still got it 30 years later 😍
I'm still loving this in 2024!
Lo Amo lo Amo lo Amo .!!!
My 17 year old son just saw them live at Lytham Festival, I was at school when this was a hit, timeless!
Lytham? Yeah, who needs American TV. That's right where it's at, not.
Possibly the greatest dancing on jay leno....ever
I love you James, Thank you ❤🎶🤗
The way he dances at the end reminds me of the feeling i used to get when i was 8 or 9 and it was Friday afterschool, home time :) !!!

Young young 13 myself.

I remember when this came out....I was 30.....now I'm 60...and I still love the song!

I broke my ribs dancing, and falling down, to this last month. I'm 56. Outstanding
Great song from one of my all time top ten albums...every track is a gem.....if you haven't listened it ...do
Wow...nice tv performance.... I love James, I love Laid
Met Jim Glennie at South by many years back. Fantastic guy. Tim's dance in this is a tribute to fellow Mancunian Ian Curtis.
I'm glad you mentioned that, it's a huge nod to Ian
From Macclesfield not Manchester
I never knew that Tim Booth moved in that way in memory of Ian Curtis I could watch both all night
.T.Y.
Neither Tim Booth nor Ian Curtis are Mancunian. Tim is from Bradford (West Yorkshire) Ian was from Macclesfield (Cheshire)
Yo en 2024
Certainly a unique dancer 🤩
Excellent live version.
Just heard this song on The Bear.
Took me back. Brilliant tune.

It's a British anthem. If you're aged 40-60 you've been smashed at a wedding dancing to this
@@iaincasson3552 awesome! Lol
Praising and US ignorance in 1 comment.
@@DaveMcIroy Please, continue.
Wow the song and his dance is brilliant .
Perfect song in Season 3 Episode 10 “The Bear”. Can’t get it out of my head
Fak bring me a keg of beer, you have 3 minu...(Door knocking)

Wow!!! Glad to hear the song again after all these years! Brings back the summer of 1993 in California for me!

Tim Booth, Dancer and actor after the band split.Glad they are back doing it all for us again ❤
I watched them three nights ago in Vancouver and they all seemed to be absolutely loving it. A superb performance and Tim was full of beans. Loved it.
@@sureshot8399 🥳🥳🥳🥳🙌🙌🙌🙌😊
Gracias, es hermosa esa canción
One of my favorite bands. Great live too
Still love this song now in 2024.
What an incredible 1960s nod and influence in the sound of this song. Bloody brilliant.
I think this live performance is one of their better ones as it has a gradual building-up feel to it thanks to the drumming getting slightly faster and faster through the verses....would have been great to dance to this live!!!

Break into her apartment.....
…you should here the slow version he played. Theres a pause between “you are driving me crazy” and then. “When are you coming home?!” That shows how doomed he is!!!
It's actually about having sex with a beautiful woman and they get a bit too loud coz she rides him to climax
Dancing like a happy Ian Curtis
Underrated comment.
Similar part of England too.
their first gig was at The Hacienda and they were from Manchester so most likely they were aware of Joy Division
Love this song! It always makes me smile.
the drum licks make this song--great skin mover
One of my favs songs Eva x
Great song/video. Thanks.
You're welcome! Much appreciate the note of approval :)
I'm watching it in 2023

Going watching James on Liverpool waterfront this Sunday - Can't wait 🙌
Such a perfect performance 😍
Still Class saw them in Denver last night. High energy performance... class
This performance, emotionally searing, utterly personal yet universal, sums up the post-postmodern era!

Loved that song - still do.
Yes. I saw this on tv.. 30 years??? Wow.. I'm Old as Crap.. Jesus
