Let's see, it's 1978, which show do I go to this week? Who's playing? Siouxsie, The Clash, The Jam, The Buzzcocks? maybe I will see The Specials this week. Must have been tough choices back then.
it was, a magical time for new music. 1978 - 1981 nothing so prolific since. I've lost count of the bands I saw, Siouxsie, Cure, Echo, Damned, Spear of Destiny, PIL, Fun boy 3, Japan, Stranglers blah blah and cheap at the time, £5-£10, what is it these days???
David I’m not joking … between the summer of ‘77 and 1980 I saw every major (and many minor ) punk band that you could name except for the Sex Pistols :)
Oh and the guy who said the tickets was £5 to £10 ????? Well you wasn’t there then mate because all the ticket stubs my sister has kept from those days ??? Not one of them is over £3.00 and many are in the price range “ .80p in advance £1 on the door” ….. :)
i went to see siouxsie and the banshees in 1978 at the village bowl in bournemouth I was 18 and a punk, they were fantastic she had a black leather mini skirt on and every time she kicked you could see everything and she had no knickers on WOW great times they were the days and a great concert
Great back in the day, went to some great gig's: Buzzcocks, The Clash, Ruts, UK Subs, Sham 69, Motorhead, The Damned, Penetration, to name just a few, Great days. ✊🎤🧷🎸💥😝
Stunning and live too!!! This tune never ages and though many of our parents may remember it "fondly" it really is a seriously great tune. I did however play Voices very loud to clear the house!!!!!! LOL
Kids now days are brought up in a digital world, computers, mobile phones, play stations but in those times if they wanted to let their hair down music was a BIG part of it and along with fashion connected...far more creativity with the accent on playing instruments as opposed to studio generated sounds/drum machines etc. A musical time that will never be replicated or beaten...
Bring on the Bromley contingent!! I was 7 in 78, being from central Bromley I remember seeing plenty of Mohawks....at 41 I have Keith Flint "Firestarter" twin Mohawks. I
I saw them at the Greyhound in Croydon where they announced their first single and then sung this. I have a few bootleg cassettes I can't play anymore, including an early heavy punk gig by the Ants (Adam and the Ants) at High Wycombe which I left London to see, Susie with the live announcement, the Pistols at their last gig in the USA, about 6 in total all thanks to me being there or buying them at Camden Lock back in the days. I'm knackered now, but would love to listen to them on CD. Of course I never saw the final Winterland gig as a London Punk school boy!, but enjoyed the rest.
Gud clubs downtown NYC played this song. Still don’t know wtf SS’s is singing but the band is is totally tight and one could pogo a go go than sit down and smoke and drink.
Look I wouldn't have thought that Peter Cook would've taken a show like that very seriously, it was just a little one off thing when he wasn't doing much else. Siouxsie doesn't look that much different today as she did back then, it's a credit to her., it's nonsense to say she couldn't sing - she was one of the strongest voices from that era and beyond. When this show was repeated on TV I was more interested in what the audience looked like than the groups, which wasn't much by punk standards.
Dudley Moore was the one with the infectious laughter but the comedy genius was really Peter Cook "and I can't fahking watch Emmerdale Farm because my fahking father won't fahking shut up with that bleeding cough"

What a great time it was, and getting my first Vespa.

And now we have lameos like Sam Smith Dua Lipa and little mix
They danced the pogo, so sweet and innocent! Those where the days!
Right? It was so new, people didn't know exactly what to do with their energy.
@@brianswelding So back in the days. Those poor kids didnt know what to do with all of that energy and new sound. Early post punk/new wave lol.
i went to see siouxsie and the banshees in 1978 at the village bowl in bournemouth I was 18 and a punk, they were fantastic she had a black leather mini skirt on and every time she kicked you could see everything and she had no knickers on WOW great times they were the days and a great concert
and nobody had a celly to creep, just a memory
the entire band was excellent bass drums lead and her vocals.
I love that dance she does.
❤
AMAZING VIDEO, BLOODY BREATHTAKING TIMES. 👏 REMEMBER VERY WELL, AND STILL LISTENING. ARE YOU BREATHTAKING
This was the first time many people had seen Siouxsie and the Banshees, the single wasn't even released for another two months.
Love that they are playing LIVE!!!
One of the best live bands i ever have ever seen
Top top the best!!!!!!!
Surely I can't have been the only young man of that time who thought she was absolutely drop-dead gorgeous.
+Steven Carr she was gorgeous then and probably still is .
Steven Carr No, you weren't. I still think she's gorgeous.
Steven Carr she was one gorgeous horny lass
As an old man I still think she still is.
Her voice was sexy.
fifteen years later a band called garbage with a woman came along
garbage were class, this is garbage
michael snow Garbage lived up to their name. They're shit. The Banshees are THE shit.
I'd reserve the 'shit' adjective to many other bands before describing it for Garbage. They aren't amazing, but they most certainly aren't shit.
And they were disappointing
Love Siouxsie! She and the band kick so much ass.
I saw early banshees... they were the business !!!
Ps siouxsie was a very friendly top girl 😆
Revolver - Best rock TV show of all time.
That was pure class,DEVO would be proud.
I wish I was cool enough at 6 years old to appreciate this! 😊
Classic punk rock . Classic
For all those complaining about Peter Cook, he's playing the part of a malcontent nightclub manager,he slagged all the acts off.
Adoooroooo..... Siouxsie!!!! And the Banches também!!!! Amante de Depeche Mode ama muito Siouxsie and the Banches também!!!!❤️💖👌👍
Love the way she moves :]
Superb guitar work
Great back in the day, went to some great gig's: Buzzcocks, The Clash, Ruts, UK Subs, Sham 69, Motorhead, The Damned, Penetration, to name just a few,
Great days. ✊🎤🧷🎸💥😝
Love this live version.
This song has topped my Spotify playlist two years running...
The moment I fell in love with Susan Ballion xx
Stunning and live too!!! This tune never ages and though many of our parents may remember it "fondly" it really is a seriously great tune. I did however play Voices very loud to clear the house!!!!!! LOL
That guitar is burned in my memory forever -had to listen again-
Love this song and video. Bunch of normies witnessing something spectacular emerging, in real time. Lovely!
my mate , Richard met her back stage after a concert and said nothing. I don't blame him, I'd have been in awe too!
I met her early in 1980 & was dumbstruck exactly the same way :-(
Watched it on tv as a 14 yr old punk😊
Memories ❤️
Brings a tear to my eye
Hong Kong "Hanging" Garden voiced by Siousxie !
Outstanding : performance & song and I was smitten with Siouxsie 😍✌️🎄☃️🤡
This is just super 💯😎👌xxx
Pogo is the one dance I can do!
Guitarist in this is John McKay - walked out with Kenny Morris in Aberdeen. This is the classic S&B line up IMO.
*spectaculaire*
Maybe, but, mc geoch took it to another level...imo
Good times when people went to concert
to have fun and not to take selfies.
It's nice to be able to jam out to a song from my namesake, haha.
thank you Siouxsie,,,,!!
Remember seeing this on Countdown back in 78
This was on the jukebox in the NAAFI the year I joined up in 1978, felt like a real paying it...
Love the distinctive and symmetry of timing REpunk

Superb footage.....What a line-up this was :)
This is a great testimony. The guy feels like he’s a royalty.
OMG 1978 I was 21 and the world was my oyster...I ate way too many oysters
Siouxie... the best band frontwoman ever!
Always interesting when an entire bands look is carried by one member.
Poly styrene
Top notch.
bought it at the time still like it
This is me at the club when this song plays.... 0:37
Fantastic tune.
Bring on the Bromley contingent!! I was 7 in 78, being from central Bromley I remember seeing plenty of Mohawks....at 41 I have Keith Flint "Firestarter" twin Mohawks. I
I miss this line-up.
Yeah remember watching this on Countdown back then 78/79 and thought this is something different
Awesome!
Muito bom!!!
Damn she had some nice moves
I saw them at the Greyhound in Croydon where they announced their first single and then sung this.
I have a few bootleg cassettes I can't play anymore, including an early heavy punk gig by the Ants (Adam and the Ants) at High Wycombe which I left London to see, Susie with the live announcement, the Pistols at their last gig in the USA, about 6 in total all thanks to me being there or buying them at Camden Lock back in the days.

Had bo idea Garbage had been around that long. Shirley Manson looks incredible.
Most Brits (of a certain age) know that Garbage were one of the many seminal early 90's bands Gareth, e.g. Texas with Charlene Spinieri
This shi rock's 😻🙏🏼
That at 0:37 is me whenever I hear Siouxsie Sioux
Big Lady... Very big!!!
god last year i was at karaoke in japam with my filipino mates (im very white) and i never realised how bad the lyrics were.... to say it was a lot...
Can I just go back for 3 minutes in time please.
@1likestuff No, It's Kenny Morris, Budgie didn't join until the third album. The guitarist is Pete Fenton, I think.
Dancing in old live videos/music videos...
From Sex Pistols groupie to original trendsetting superstar, within a year!
sioux in blue drummer is a dream boat
Luv it
That dancing..., the best answer to fascism...!!!
EVERYONE FUCKING PARTY!
Hell yes!
WAT A PRAT DA PRESENTER- CLASSIC EALY SIOUXSIE AND PUNK ARCHIVE-WE WILL NEVER SEE DA LIKE AGAIN R.I.P. INDIVIDUALLITY
Argh I'm going to combust! PETER COOK! And the best Banshees song!! ARGHHH!!!!
peter cook i thought you were referring to peter hook
Between 1977-78 everything must of seemed possible.
the things i’d do to attend this show
I'd like to visit Hong Kong well anywhere neat
Can't top that TV presenter for warming up the audience?
Gud clubs downtown NYC played this song. Still don’t know wtf SS’s is singing but the band is is totally tight and one could pogo a go go than sit down and smoke and drink.
Peter Cook remains England's comic genius. Poor soul - he was probably drunk for this.
Was Peter Cook serious? He truly looked pissed off.
0:37 me
Blacker than black, dawg
Lucky you!
Look I wouldn't have thought that Peter Cook would've taken a show like that very seriously, it was just a little one off thing when he wasn't doing much else.

Music for people to dance to who can't dance
Gotta love Peter Cook 🤣
I wish I were there - I wasn’t born at that point though
Is that Peter Cook?
Where is budgie!!!!????
Ya Peter Cook and Dudley Moore..Greatest British Comedy duo of...... wait which one was the funny one....
Dudley Moore was the one with the infectious laughter but the comedy genius was really Peter Cook "and I can't fahking watch Emmerdale Farm because my fahking father won't fahking shut up with that bleeding cough"
Serious question, is that Gonch Gardner from Grange Hill in the crowd?
Looks like Sid Vicious Pogoing in the audience!
Sounds like U2
Damn she is so fine both then and now.
Mind you all, this was way before auto tune. Understand?
give me back these days. Where tjings can go 'wrong'. just like in real life
classic performance
Peter Cook was certainly contemptuous
Where the bass player was gone?
The drummer is not Budgie?
i just had a pint or two at that
Did the band Garbage really exist in 1978?
No...much later
