I'm a 50yo from the US and have to say that Dunedin scene in the late 80's was one of the best scenes in the world. Flying Nun Records had tons of good bands. what is the scene like now?
Not slick = double plus good! Slick is death on real music. But raw is very very hard to hold onto. Before you know it you get "good" ie slick and then you sound like ten million other bands. Slick is boring. Which is why slick bands need fireworks and huge stage shows and all that other showbiz crap.
Thats why is good because its real live, over 30 years ago (rough and ready - pre MTV) with soul. ie the essence of the .DYI approach of early Flying Nun bands to get away from souless over produced, following current fashions at the time. Unlike the zillion dollar souless slick over produced / choreographed music videos since that do this to make up for the lack of musical substance. The Clean were Flying Nun Records first success and are regarded well internationally for this reason and have been copied since.
This band rocks, and yeah i agree with the person telling you to fuck off, i second that motion, so Please go listen to your generic and banal pop music if this doesn't suit your sad excuse for taste.

I remember dancing like that! In fact I still dance like that!
Bring back the ecstasy of the dancing, please… unadulterated joy😢
i think this is the best video ever made. i don't like many. RIP rest easy.
This is the best sort of gig in the world! Someone's living room! I love Dunedin sound! Makes me feel 20 again!
Once upon a time Dunedin was at the epicentre of music. It so unfortunate the rest of the world wasn't aware?
Well, they kind of were.
Wish i was born in New Zealand
RIP Hamish
thanks for the music golden era for n.z R.I.P.
the genius of youtube
Wow! What are the chances I should stumble upon this performance 30 years from when it happened!
Now 40. Crazy.
The genesis of a genius still burning strong! Still as fresh as a daisy.
The Clean great music, great lyrics
Really love this. First time listener (in USA).
Try the Clean - Thumbs off 👍
Everything about this band was perfection! R.I.P. Hamish Kilgour!
unreleased Clean! I'm losing my mind. Thanks for the upload.
I was in the 5th form -my brain still works - I'm happy
that outro is a delight
Ah so this is where all those indie garage revival bands got their sound from. Nice.
This is my new favorite band
Fuck. The Live Dead Clean EP should have been an LP! These guys had SO many great unrecorded tunes. It's a shame.
I love the dance moves!!!!
Loved that.Great song from a legendary band.
Gorgeous
Great band
Those were the days my friend.

@spookhol Agreed! Great song. I've been to concerts where people dance like this, though. Popfests!
Kylie Mole's favourite song ;-)
I read Kylie Minogue..

I didn't know Syd Barrett and The Clash had children
Perfect comparison
That's very spot on.

Reminds me of "The Embarrassment"

❤
Fosters must have been on special that week.

Better than great!
NOT Hipster shit, just good ol' Fun Rock.
the best comment on the internet I ve seen
If someone were to tab this, I'd just die
🥳😍💥💥💥💥
Was this song ever released? One of my favorite songs by the Clean and I know it’s not on Anthology
CRAZY SHIT
Wich guitar is the withe one
I see bands today like Palma Violets being heralded as the saviours of music but they just rip off bands like The Clean, it's kinda sad really
This is Better the Great,,,If You Know What i Mean
Guy Williams lead singer?
:)
Does anyone know what album/comp I can find this on? I love this fucking song.
The Clean Anthology
@@dongately2817 what is it called then?
@@jordygiler It’s just called The Clean Anthology- like 3-4 discs. It’s on Apple Music but the CD is definitely worth owning.
pretty sure anthology is two discs and this song isn't on it, or anywhere. i dont think a studio version of this song was ever released.
She's an impostor! Feedback? 😵 surely that'll help
this one wasn’t ever on a record, was it?
This is just like that REM video where they hired regular geeks to do the dancing.
@Arne Nilsen - I stole that boring line from Beavis and Butthead - so I’m boring AND a plagiarist.
Verlaines had good dancers who gives a fuck anyway .leadt they were danci g bob scott a living legend..good bye!!!@
hahahaha they are so nerdy! those people remind me of my mom. i can picture her dancing like that. sorr, mom.
is that a Gibson?
More likely an ibanez
ahaahahahaha

Johnny Thunders never got slick . . .
this is who Weezer pretend like they are lol
That dancing makes me fucking cringe. But it DOES look fun.
he looks like napoleon dynamite
Did they really need to tuck their shirts in so tight to their high waisted slacks
Fuck! Gimme sum o that early 80's un-cropped Kiwi snatch!! Hmmm yes sir!! Oh, and the band are wicked as well ha ha.
maybe the clean is pretending to be some other band, too. we all have influences. no shame in that
Awful music, awful lyrics, awful dancers, awful camerawork. A disaster.

Well fucking said , God save the Clean !
