Dunno if you guys gives a shit but if you are stoned like me atm then you can watch pretty much all of the new movies and series on instaflixxer. I've been streaming with my gf recently :)
This was in 1986 and it was one of my friends 15th birthday...we bunked the train from Southampton to Waterloo...did the punk shops on Carnaby St and then bunked the tube to Clapham Common...we were greeted with loads of police checking tickets at the top of the tube stairs...somehow they didn't check ours and we got free... It was an amazing day with some great artists playing...B.A.D being the pinnacle...there was also a Reggae Sound System behind the stage !! One of my memories was of a Rasta walking through the crowd with a huge snake wrapped around his neck while Gil Scott-Heron played 'The Bottle'...seems like it was a dream now that it's over 30 years ago !! Saw B.A.D loads in the 80s all over the UK in Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, London etc but this was the first time I ever saw them live and one of my favourites !
I came up from Winchester, probably same train 🤣😂 I was the one in the green shirt, dark hair.....and way thinner dancing on the stage in this. Fantastic day and perfect performance!
My comment 15 years ago from my earlier account is still here. That was 2007, a time i found out about youtube. For an 80s kid who never get to watch these bands during my era, youtube is a time machine that takes us back to our young and restless period. Big thanks to you fir uploading this video. One of my top ten posts here . Godbless everyone.
B.A.D Shows that anyone can get get a record deal with an awsome accent, great members, and a smash hit like this. btw im only 14 wasn't even born in the 80's and this is one of the best songs I'v ever heard. Big Audio Dynomite Forever :)
80s' music was defiantly the era,i grow up in Australia and we had good music,my only regret in life is that i wasnt in england at that time,were the music was unreal,so many great bands,new romantics the list was endless.talk talk, big audio, psychic furs just to name a few.
Just found this vid today. One of the best things to come out of the 80s and still sounding as good as it did. In terms of live performances - I've not seen many better than this. Excellent post.
Ritual - ideas - relativity Only buildings- no people - prophecy Timeslide - place to hide - nudge reality Foresight - minds wide - magic imagery>>>>> Thank you!!! (tears from crying) The best video, wow, thanks again....
We were there Yvette and Monique, right down the front as always! Actually we were on the photographers stand! Amazing gig, we waited all day, I got mugged and we didn't have anywhere to stay until our big sis came and rescued us! But it was all worth it! Love BAD
Get music back to the level of ex-Clash project? Not gonna happen, mate. The Clash, Mick&Joe, were like The Beatles. Not gonna happen again. Be grateful you were there.
I saw a crowd like that, only more, take the stage while the Clash played 'Working For The Clampdown' in Detroit on the Combat Rock tour. It's too bad it happend the way it did with that lot, but Mick PROOVED who the musical spirit of that band was. B.A.D. were fantastic, those first lp's were so great. What a place Mick & his band's fill in history.
I was there for this one, it was a free all day gig on Clapham Common. Shame BAD only got to do three songs as they and Gil Scott Heron were the highlight acts. Oh, and Boy George was bottled off the stage. Top day out.
most of the time live music is better, but this song's gap between the live version and the record version is incredible. the single can't hold anything to this performance.
This is along with the Clash and Big audio one of the most important music groups in history, Just like the Beatles! Just listen to the words and the beat!
love it ,lucky enough to watch this at the newport centre.bad stopped after every track to reharge the "beatbox" ..this is music,million times better than the SHIT NOWADAYS
You in New Orleans? Man, I'm the jealous one! BAD played a flawless set, never hit a bum note. Highlight of the night: battle of all saints road - utterly fantastic
still rofl at gazzasandersons comment, so true. loved B.A.D back in the day and still love there songs shame this is the only song there really remembered for as most of there others are just as good
One of the greatest song ever... this live version is brilliant.
deadly

@Joshua Owen yup, I've been using instaflixxer for years myself :)
it is awesome
Actually superior live than on vinyl. Not many bands can pull it off.
How has this only got 84,649 viewings? I must have watched it myself at least 200,000 times.
Love you Mick. Once a Clasher, always a Clasher.
What a good comentary!!! I've been listening about 100000 billones times like you dude!!!!
I think I'm clocking 8 zillion
It's us four .. account for the 459,000 now!!
Right 👉🏽 low ball count. Mick rocks.

Caramba que registro memorável, muito obrigado!

How am I just seeing this?!? The studio single is great , but this Live version has so much energy and life! Simply fantastic!

This was June 28th 1986! One of the best nights of my life. A crate of Heineken and local herb, yeah what a day it was!
We were there Yvette and Monique, right down the front as always!
Actually we were on the photographers stand!
Amazing gig, we waited all day, I got mugged and we didn't have anywhere to stay until our big sis came and rescued us!
But it was all worth it!
Love BAD
Yvette Clark Great gig wasn't it ! I was there too...15 yrs old.
I wonder how many decades it would take to make a ladder so music can climb back up from what it is now..... to what it was... back then ?
Get music back to the level of ex-Clash project?
Not gonna happen, mate.
The Clash, Mick&Joe, were like The Beatles.
Not gonna happen again.
Be grateful you were there.
One of the best live vids on RUclips
i've never seen or heard this song live, ever. thanks. i love a rare one.
This would have been a great show to be at, the crowd is jumping the whole time and the band is tight.
Fuming Riley I was 15 and I was there...it was amazing !!!
I was 17 and there. It was short and sweet but what a memory.
This is brilliant. What a fantastic song and great band.
Excellent band, saw them live in Sir Henrys in Cork many moons ago, great memories.
Thank you for posting
How good does that gig look!What a crowd!!
Mick Jones .simply the best........greetings from Argentina

Met Mick Jones at Ncle Mayfair backstage on this tour, fine chap!

haha look at all the headers on the stage danceing,hello from ireland
80s decade f-last music decade- now its all crappy times- 80s were soooo fresssh
I have to watch this video at least 5 to 10 times a day. I love it.
You're a legend, Mick.

Brilliant!

This live version is so awesome!! They included everything from the album version!! Percussionist is also amazing!!!
Loved just recently getting into this. BAD
FUCKING INCREDIBLE!!!
Yes I was there!!!
Love that higher octave in the verses! Thank You!
I was there for this one, it was a free all day gig on Clapham Common. Shame BAD only got to do three songs as they and Gil Scott Heron were the highlight acts.
Oh, and Boy George was bottled off the stage.
Top day out.
Saw them with P.I.L. in San Jose, CA
(I know....). Blew my eardrum out at that show.
Danced my ass off though!
most of the time live music is better, but this song's gap between the live version and the record version is incredible. the single can't hold anything to this performance.
Totally agree! I check back in now and again to enjoy the magic 👍 Its saved in my favourite playlist.
Love that they all carry on playing when the stage is invaded
This is along with the Clash and Big audio one of the most important music groups in history, Just like the Beatles! Just listen to the words and the beat!
I was at this one, boy did they come on late, but it was worth it.
Way way ahead of their time. samples and crossover tunes....Fucking brilliant.
BAD playing Coachella festival with the original line up this year.Amazing!!!!!!!!
A cool melody one of the defining sounds of the 80's
Thank god for my dad introducing this band to me.
il be onstage if i were in this concert too!! big audio dynamite..they were just awesome!!
The year I graduated from high school sigh.. Best time of my life!
fantastic concert...wish i was there
can't agree with you more, wish therewas a HQ audio version of this one. So much better.
2021 it's still B.A.D #StaySafe #MusicArmy #oneworld
At the brief instrumental interlude, at around 3:03, as the bouncers are clearing the stage of the riff raff, Jones can be heard saying "Let em be."
yes, you're right, testimony as to what the guys really like...
Sums it up perfectly ay mate.
Just not fazed..reads how people are reacting...
Compare to (1 of micks 'heroes')Keith Richards early '80s hitting guy with guitar...
Saw them at Exit 2 days ago! Much love!!!
absolute classic, fresh as a daisy
who do you think you are.... the lone ranger....come on
at one point big audio dynamite had a dj..my dad was the dj no lie:3

Underrated band -- Mick so fucking ahead of his time. And all those allusions to Nicholas Roeg's films - what a smartie-pants!
