Saw em in 79..cut of my hair right then..i was 13..they played with ac dc with whitesnake the police and the pretenders. Slf blew em all off stage..brutal raw young..1 of the best gigs ever
Never had the privilege to see these guys in their hey day, but going to see them in Birmingham in March next year. And after seeing this footage, I can’t wait! Sure they’re getting on a bit, but aren’t we all? Looked like a great show, and Jake still has it in buckets!
Was at the concert in Belfast, the stiff’s were brilliant definitely no tribute band , roll on the 2023 Belfast concert, great night for punk in Belfast as uk subs we’re playing in Belfast that night as well.
Best British punk runk hands down. Saw this show live, loads of Scotch, Welsh and Pommies all loving it. Seen Iron Maiden in Ormeau Park and there was nowhere near the same UK-wide reception.

Common people slagging em off we all get old ….a least they up there singing the songs we love …. Can you all the do the things you did 30 years ago 🥁🎤🎼🎼
Cheers for this! Hearing the songs from Go For It live again reminds of how great they are, although there was something about the production of it that was "off" (too sterile?) to me.
To be completely honest I love the skids but whenever going to a Dunfermline game at east end park the tune going through my mind is “go for it “ by slf
Trouble with jake, he championed the Jibby jabby. and probably wore a muzzle in shops. Punk died in 2020 when all the punks fell asleep. I fell I am only punk left spitting the truth. Dave Tommo channel. Why didn't punks kick against the last 3 years?
@@brianboru7684 respect to Captain, I used to drink in the same pub in Brighton (the quadrant) with him in the eighties. He was all about taking down macdonalds. so swithed on! Cool Capt!

Aww man, this really, really saddens me but SLF are a fraction of the burning light they were. Don't get me wrong I love them and everything they stood for (and still do) and growing up in NI during the 70's, they steered many a person in the correct direction. I know they are in their 60's now but to me, there is no energy or passion in these songs. It's maybe because the lyrics don't have the impact they had during the Troubles and there is less to rage against. One of the reasons why I don't go to see them anymore, nothing will compare to those shows in Belfast in the late 70's. Plus, where were all these people when the punks were getting chased around towns by skinheads etc, could've done with those reinforements
I agree as well, they have fallen in the last 10 years or even less. Used to see them every year in Blackburn but no more. The only distinguishing feature Jake has left is his voice. Grantly is still up to it so its got to be the guitars.
There is nothing sad about it and I couldn't disagree more. Nothing can compare the the late 70's but it ain't the late 70's mate and the punters are having a blast singing SLF songs. The music and lyrics transcend the years and hold up pretty damn well! Sure, there is no more "Take a look where you're livin'-You got the army on the street", but lest we forget. No band could compete with SLF in their Prime, but we take what we can get-Hanx!
Incredibly disappointing performance - just lazily going through the motions. I rate Inflammable Material as one of the great punk albums - up there with the first Damned, Clash and Ramones albums.
You can't expect them too put out the kind of shows from the 70s 80s 90s can you. They are still making music and performing for there fans. Good on them I say. They need to work like every one else. Not like there loaded like the stones or acdc
Oh dear How the mighty have fallen. Used to love this band....inflammable material...nobody's heroes...killer albums. Then they play a set like this. No energy...no angst...shame.
Dude, the whole f'ing crowd is singing along. Guess you had to be there. Also pub shows are always much different than festivals and the guys are like at least in their 60s now.
@@zhegwood of course the whole crowd is singing....even if they (slf) played a acoustic set the whole crowd would be singing. Trying to recreate the sound energy etc that they first had with them in the sixties in nigh on impossible, I get that. But come on m8...this isnt great...
@@paulgriffiths1062 Right so why are you upset? SLF is 40 years past. I'm happy there are loads of people still enjoying the music and hopefully the message. I 100% still love this band.
@@zhegwood who said I'm upset. Didn't you read my 1st msg? Loved these guys ...First 2 albums were out of this world ...left other bands for dead. Yep...they have a massive fan base. But wouldn't you rather hear suspect device played as it should be played? Instead of it being played 60%...with no energy or angst. So once again it comes down to age. But I get your point. And it's only MY opinion.
slf was my lifeline in early 80s when i was a teenage kid failing school, home, life, owe Jake a lot still, thanks guys, great sounds.

I’m 58 now i used to run away from school to watch them in Cambridge, I saw them 3 times , last time was 1979 , wot a band
@@skuda111 thats amazing i m 57
The best and most under-rated punk band ever. Full stop. Thanks so much for uploading this Adrian. From a Geordie Little FInger.
Best band on the planet....REAL!!
Off to watch them tonight at the junction in Cambridge UK 🇬🇧 😎 14th March 2023

Waited since 1977 to see this band seen them Newcastle this year and certainly worth the wait totally amazing
But the original band was much better.
i was lucky enough to see them in Dallas back in the early 2000s was fantastic! cant wait for some shows in america near me!
Grand stuff, brought back some great memories, cheers for the upload
Was at the concert in Belfast, the stiff’s were brilliant definitely no tribute band , roll on the 2023 Belfast concert, great night for punk in Belfast as uk subs we’re playing in Belfast that night as well.
Seen them twice back in the day fkin amazin band
Thanks great upload I missed these at Rebellion Festival
Best live band I’ve ever seen
I’m surprised at the negative comments on here, excellent band
Fantastic night loved every minute of it

That's what happens when age catches up with you they aren't gonna sound as good over 40 yrs later
Jake sounds spot on!
To be completely honest I love the skids but whenever going to a Dunfermline game at east end park the tune going through my mind is “go for it “ by slf

Slf awesome❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
sounds great thru youtube and my little laptop.
Slf irelands greatest band ever hanx
see above...
@@Deere23 Best Ulster-Scots band 😆
Ulster-Scots* best band
British born and bred.
No surrender. GSTK
Jake always called himself Irish, since we're Irish we like to drink a lot, great Irish band
@@WeldersFSCplanter born and bred...will die a planter..nothing more.
Cheers mates
Just after 31:43 you can see people watching from their apartment balcony
Why are the songs cut short it spoils it big time ?

Captain Sensible was only one sensible enough to not take the jab. Jake is a fully signed up member to the NHS cult.

OMG the name of this band is so funny 😂
Still edgy and strong!
They now sound like a Green Day tribute band...Lost that "Raw,fuck off" attitude....

Really can't expect them to be the same as they were in 1977 they are now in their mid 60s.

@@sklosct7416 They have now become a cabaret band.
I so agree😪😪😪
Sad,, saw them in there prime, thank god
Shame Jake ate all his old bandmates. The new ones won't last long. He looks hungry again.
terrible sound, they need someone on sound!
listening on a cheap laptop are you?
Its am armature recording FFS - They sounded fecking awesome from where I was stud, centre stage about 10 rows back.
Undertones blew them away.
The pit was definitely alot more lively for slf though.
undertones...you're having a laugh. slf much better band
@@roughanmacnamara147 alWays were
Could barely hear the Undertones llf.
Once the big boys SLF came on then they turned it up.
Rightly so.
Incredibly disappointing performance - just lazily going through the motions. I rate Inflammable Material as one of the great punk albums - up there with the first Damned, Clash and Ramones albums.
That drummer somehow doesn't fit in . I remember the days when Jake used to laugh at fat folk. Karma bit you there 🤣
Excellent, glad you dropped the ridiculous Wig, now drop a few pounds .
Never knew that Buster Bloodvessel joined SLF ?
SLF have become the worst thing a band can be: they are their own tribute act.
You can't expect them too put out the kind of shows from the 70s 80s 90s can you. They are still making music and performing for there fans. Good on them I say. They need to work like every one else. Not like there loaded like the stones or acdc
