Every one of these attendees would likely have been using a cell phone to record this amazing show if they could. It was a legit trip to jail if someone was caught recording or photographing a concert back in those days. Illegally filming, likely a 5 year prison term and $250,000 fine. Fans who recorded shows back then were treated like criminals simply for trying to preserve the memory of a moment of their lives. Trust me, most of these fans would have had a cell phone out if they could -- after they work on electricity...

One of the most amazing songs. So great, upbeat, uplifting, the way music should be and sound like. OMD and the 80s made a huge impact on me and my friends. We loved that era of music, we loved OMD and enjoyed every second of that era. Brings back so many incredible memories and thank you for that.
I just want to say this ... the concert dates from 1981 at that time I was 3 years old ... today I am 43 years old and with all these years already lived, I can only describe this feeling when I see all those people moving to the rhythm of this song , to the pride that one feels seeing the success of a son ... that is the purest feeling of a human being. I could never attend a concert of them but I feel a great feeling that in my place all those people were able to express all my feelings in that concert seeing how that public lived and enjoyed it. I feel happy about it all .. I love you ..
Excelente banda con sonidos dark , nada que envidiar a las demás bandas como Depeche Mode, New Order, Ultravox, Gary Numan etc ...............mantiene su propio estilo, saludos de Perú 🎵📢🌷👍…
¡Què alucinante! Matarìa por estar ahì. Esa performance es històrica.

Electricity is the name of the song. And he left a performance full of energy to his audience, and 45 years later, all of us who see this video wish we had been there.
Imagine some bored teenager flicking through youtube and he/she come across this. They think what the hell and give it a go. About ten seconds later they are not thinking OMD more like OMG! Was music really this good? Did people actually enjoy the music and not waste their time just filming it to watch later. Yes they did. We were blessed but this is timeless so enjoy.
Que hermoso, ver el lugar lleno y la gente bailando, todos!!!! es hermoso, me hubiera encantado estar allí, pero ni nacía, ni mis padres se conocían! jajaj.. Hermosa música!
La mejor epoca , libertad , discotecas , amor , buen cine ..me generacion vivio muy rapido y lo vivimos todo..musica , cine , tecnologia ..ahora con 65 años nos queda un recuerdo de una epoca maravillosa
This 1981 (in Drury Lane Theatre) live performance was simply terrific. The audience seemed to be hypnotized by the upbeat rhythm and Andy's dancing performance. Fan-tas-tic !!!
The way he jumps and bounces around while singing AND playing the bass guitar... AWESOME !!! such energy and enthusiasm. and this song was one of my faves "back in the day". :-)
quel souvenir mes vacances à Jullouville avec pascal martin, ma soeur Agnés Langlois et vincent et caroine Arrnaud ... s'ils me lisent, j'amerais avoir de leurs nouvelles
Just posted on FACEBOOK- as early 1980s and being young listening to GREAT music like OMD... I was listening to OMD Peel sessions yesterday in my car and I am re-impacted! ☮ ✝ ☪ 🪯 🕉 ☸
What a performance! What a venue! Love it. I have seen OMD twice- once at Cardiff St.David's Hall in 2007 (where they played Architecture and Morality album in its entirety) and also at Wembley Arena, a few years later.
I so wish I had been there! Was living in Montreal in my youth and was only 14 and caught up with OMD craze around 1985, and never looked back. They are the ultimate most amazing 1980s band ever. I love Andrew dancing like a rag doll, could never achieve it, but certainly tried!! Love love love their material from 3 first albums, so this concert is a bijou. Also loved their Junk Cuture and to some extent Crush albums. Saw them 4x in Montreal!! Love you guys always.
I wish I could say, I was the boy in the first floor in 1:05! Actually I saw them a few years later in Frankfurt. But this audience is propably the best I have ever seen!
great concert in 1981 omd were brilliant great songs and act. never tire of watching and listening to omd especially this concert well done and thank you omd.
This is one of the very rare occasions where the band and audience are totally connecting, OMD at this point we’re really hitting the vinegar strokes era of their career and the audience subconsciously knew it as well.
Solo quiero decir esto ... el concierto es de 1981 en ese momento yo tenía 3 años ... hoy tengo 43 años y con todos estos años ya vividos, solo puedo describir este sentimiento cuando veo todos esos gente moviéndose al ritmo de esta canción, con el orgullo que se siente al ver el éxito de un hijo ... ese es el sentimiento más puro de un ser humano. Nunca pude asistir a un concierto de ellos pero siento una gran sensación de que en mi lugar todas esas personas pudieron expresar todos mis sentimientos en ese concierto viendo cómo ese público lo vivió y disfrutó. Me siento feliz por todo .. te amo ..
La mia versione preferita di eletricity, bellissimo live, adoro in particolare il suono del basso Fender jazz, Bravi Omd !! Una particolarità: in tutta la canzone il batterista non da neanche un colpo ai piatti !!! Stranissimo, così anche in Enola Gay.... 😄😄😍😍
Wow such a nice crowd, no mobile phones, they were all dancing and enjoying the music..
Actually there was, motorola (large cell phones)
@@mop714 technically the first handheld was 1983 - Motorola DynaTAC 8000x...the concert was 1981.
@@MultiGreatescape I stand corrected .. could not remember when the first mobile phone was, I knew it was early 80s.

Eran los mejores años . Nada que con el hoy 2023
Ani top
I feel the same way and loved them in the 80’s. And now work in energy democracy and community solar and this song is so relevant!!!!
Andy sings, dances and plays bass guitar all the time, it's always amazing to see

You can see them now
You are loved.
Gracias..❤️
The ultimate example well said..... I grew up in the last generation the 90s were a blast as a teenager.
I was 16 in 1981, and I miss all this terribly.
Coś Pięknego ❤❤❤
Wychowałam się na takiej muzyce i jestem z tego dumna
🎉Una canción para escuchar toda la vida 💛. Forever 80s.. Electricidad
Mind blowing performance. The shots of the audience are phenomenal. Malcolms drumming on this are a different class.
And the bass!!

Quem viveu a juventude nessa década de 80, pode se considerar realizado .... Melhores bandas de todos os tempos ...
Sempre irei afirmar pelo meu gênero de música, que nasci na geração errada !
¡Què alucinante! Matarìa por estar ahì. Esa performance es històrica.
Toda la gente disfrutando como locos sin celulares en la mano perdiéndose la magia, sin pantallas ni luces inteligentes detrás de la banda, sin cuerpo de baile... la forma mas pura de disfrutar un concierto.

Por algo dicen que "todo tiempo pasado fue mejor"
Si supieras las veces q la baile omg
Ahora esos jóvenes del público rondarán los 55 o 60 años, pero seguro que pueden explicar a nuestros jóvenes una o dos cosas sobre la diversión.
Tienes toda la razón es música pura y que llega al alma 😃
Los.sintetizadores suenan coml.juegos de nintendo wow me.fascina
No serías el único, creo que todos quisiéramos estar ahí, se vivía los conciertos la adrenalina pura pasando por tus venas.
Quando ouvi essa música pela primeira vez eu tinha 15 anos; hoje eu tenho 58 anos e continuo gostando do mesmo jeito; Sargento Paulo Silva
Isn’t this just amazing? The best song from the best band and such an astonishingly good performance.
Le synthé et la basse sont stupéfiants. Rappelez-vous, avoir dansé ça en discothèque, piste 2 où es-tu ? On va péter la baraque ce soir.
God I love this song. I also love how the audience appreciate amazing (talented) music.
Adrenalina pura
Omd 80 nostalgia mi vengono i brividi a sentirla troppo bello ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👍👍👍👍👍💘💘💘💘💘💘💘⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😎⭐⭐⭐
OMD was very under rated. Remember listening to the first LP in 81 and knew they were a talent.

Thanks God for let me listen this song again.
This 1981 (in Drury Lane Theatre) live performance was simply terrific. The audience seemed to be hypnotized by the upbeat rhythm and Andy's dancing performance. Fan-tas-tic !!!
OMD - One of the most prominent bands of electro music of all times !! Such a familiar and great tune !! Always a pleasure to listen to !
fantastic. these days will never come back.
They are still here... I am going to see OMD in a couple of weeks... keep rocking!!
Thats true..others can revive the song but they'lle never got it
This was a beautiful,wonderful time of freedom and fun. Sadly,never again.
@@Devo13 dont wory meine Brüder, die Time ist vorbei 😞🇬🇷
When a band is been lively on stage it transfers to the crowd
yes! Not like other bands with programmed sequences
Aw man I wanna be dancing the carlton with all these happy 80's peeps
Increible como baila el bajista , toca perfecto y encima canta....jajajajaja muy bueno!!!

The crowd came to dance! And the drummer was happy to supply the beat.
Great live version of "Electricity" by OMD
Can feel the energy from the concert 33 years on!! haha looks like an amazing
night when both OMD and the crowd where up for it,awesome times!!
40 years now!
Soooo beautiful song. Lots of memories
Awesome. So much energy from the band and audience to go with this excellent music.
The way he jumps and bounces around while singing AND playing the bass guitar...
AWESOME !!! such energy and enthusiasm. and this song was one of my faves "back in the day". :-)
Someone was in playback. ;)
It's called coke
Still does that is sounds great
Tbh a lot of 80's bands did this same white man dance check out flock of seagulls for an example. The bassist literally looks the same
Ti amo Andy Mc Cluskey !!!!!
How could you not get up and dance during this song, simply amazing.
@matthewkester3677 Yes, absolutely.
Gracias x nacer en la época d los 80, vivan los 80
Отличная музыка и атмосфера. Танцы.... Танцы....
Late 70's and the 80's , an amazing variety of beautiful songs came from those times

Che spettacolo 😊😊☺☺ Ecco perché mio padre continua a dirmi che loro negli anni ottanta si divertivano realmente....
I can smell the clubs playing this and feel the bass in my chest.
So much energy! I wish I could experience this. So amazing!
Outstanding! Utterly outstanding!
this song brings back so many memories i almost had.
so good.. they are legends that thought they would never make it in the music scene.
The feeling of being you..... dance away on your own or with a group you'll make friends from..... that vibe of being again You.
Theatre Royal Drury Lane London I was 3 rows from the front of the stage an amazing concert
Foi Difícil alguém ficar sentado em !!!
Todos Dançando.. que época Maravilhosa !
E mais.
Con 19 años amo estos tiempos de mis padres...
Seguro toneaban en el patiño
My son is 9, I listen to this song while cooking for family and he came up to me and said dad I like this song, even in 2017 it's still good
unlimitedwealth1 ♡
thats brilliant !
Omg i say that to my dad everytime. I absoultely love the songs he listens too. They are all old and much better than todays trashy grime.
This is one of the very rare occasions where the band and audience are totally connecting, OMD at this point we’re really hitting the vinegar strokes era of their career and the audience subconsciously knew it as well.
Thank you for sharing this video. A truly fantastic glimpse of how the early eighties were for some of us.
81 was a great year for me personally, I love OMD and the 80's
Woow, I would have liked to be there, to much energy, SOO COOOL
This track and this performance is amazing!!! :D
The crowd doing the same dance together :-D
A tribute to Andy McClusky's dad dancing :-)
left school in 81 remember it well brilliant
Piękne!

Jesus...the 80s were an amazing time...never to be repeated.
Great tune, Some Energy, a Very Much Underrated Band who are still FANTASTIC!!
GENIAL, CUANTOS RECUERDOS ME TRAE ESTA CANCION.....
I never realised Jeremy Paxman was the lead singer for OMD. You learn something every day.
any links to that "fact", can't find anything
DivineNectarDrops He looks like Jeremy Paxman what used to present University challenge..... It was me trying to be funny.... forget it!
Aaaw yeah! I see what you did there, he totally looks like him. Okay, now it IS funny :D

Amazing, and the best thing about 81, everybody pulled there trousers up!!!!!!
The sound quality is fantastic. Cheers for uploading this Mac. First class performance too. The first ever "rave" perhaps.
Esa canción le ponía a mi hijo cuando era bb, de eso hace 18 años.... Recordarlo me alegra....❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
When people actually danced at concerts and not filming them on phones...
Im officially friends with you now !!!
Si buena música el piano es una maravilla
Didnt have phones back then, thats maybe why lol
When going to gigs was about the music and vibe.....
This. I feel technology has made it easier to preserve moments but harder to enjoy them.
