Thanks for posting. Good quality. Hope they come to Florida some day. I think they are a very over looked band. Their name deserves to be up there with the Clash and Sex Pistols.
Those were the days was a 14 year old kid watching them play like many times before but the last gig in the old apollo in glasgow was to be their last with henry ali and dolphin and jake all together 82-83 i think it was, i never got over it for years, i remember them nearly having fistfights inbetween songs on stage espiecally clunie and burns, the support band was like always in the early eighties Mark E Smith's brilliant band 'The Fall'
first time seeing this vid..! I saw them last at the WELLY CLUB in HULL in Jan 2014..Great gig & was packed & loads of Flags..Irish & English it was brilliant!
I'm 17 but probably not the youngest, SLF's my favourite band of all time and I know a lot of young punks around the world who are into the 70s stuff and dream of playing in punk bands :) Not the commercialized sellout shite controlled by the music companies today (like what Jake sings about in Guitar and Drum haha), but DIY political and passionate the way punk music was intended to be. I personally play in a riot grrrl band with some friends and we sound reeeeally bad but it's the funnest thing ever. PUNK'S NOT DEAD!!
@@Isabelle_Li - Good for you Isabelle. Keep going! Just a quick story here. I saw SLF at the El Mocambo in Toronto probably around '79 - '80. They had some real hardass pricks for bouncers/security. It became evident that these psycho bastards had take a couple of paying customers to some back room and punched them out. When SLF found out, they stopped the show immediately. Jake Burns verbally ripped into the bastards and the management, with the audience obviously falling in. I think the El Mocambo assholes theregot very scared. Old loser cowards with police records beating kids up. The show eventually went on. I can only hope that those loser bouncers got charged with assault and lost more than their jobs.
@@jpcpm1340 Thanks for the story, that sounds awesome (and I totally agree with you on the bouncers haha). I’m from Toronto and hoping to see SLF live once I’m legally allowed into the music venues... maybe I’ll get some fake ID 😂
He does amazingly well with little or no vocal monitors. When, how and why did Jake Burns get so...... "Big" though?!? I saw Fingers around 5 or 6 years ago and don't recall him looking like this.
Jake's hissy fits with the sound guy weren't cool at all. I haven't seen him as mad as that since someone lobbed a tomato at him (direct hit, by the way) in an SLF gig in Carlisle Market Hall in 1980!
evanb105 I couldn't tell you to the minute, but pretty much from the off he was doing the "turn me up" pointy-finger thing, and he apologised to the crowd - in a rather irate tone - that his singing might be off because he couldn't hear himself. It degenerated into him telling the sound guy in a raised voice what he thought was causing it. It just wasn't a good look... no doubt the guy was trying his best to rectify an equipment failure, and Jake was pretty much having a tanty. Better to stop the gig for 10 mins and get it fixed than push on, getting angrier all the time...
Best punk band to walk the earth no question 👍🏻🏴
I had the pleasure of being there that night,great fun had by all.

so what? More to love.

Nick Williamson hey when did he go mental at the sound guy??

Nick Williamson maybe they paid them to do a job that should have been done
@@Add_Account485 ...and maybe there was an equipment failure that took time to analyse and fix.
Nick Williamson hi mate
