The Saints (I'm) Stranded (Brisbane TV 1976)

[ozseppo]

saw them on tv around this time on the Ray Burgess Show, in Melbourne.

Tossed out the Floyd and Zep Albums........

[robodoll]

Total GODHEAD!!!

[skandal1966]

[moonstomp70]

[ksdfwe86]

Classic Bailey.. Alwayz had a smoke in his hand..

[deeder2000]

Wow I can't believe they played this back then. This is an unbelievable punk rock sound from 76, I can only compare it to Ramones and Damned from then. They would have probably been up there if they didn't have the long hair. I know fashion is so fickle!

[CON19723]

Far out. I am from Brisbane, born and bred, and to think these guys were doing this type of music on T.V from Brisbane is just amazing. True pioneers of Punk!!

[67rocks]

YEP YEP !!!!

this was real PUNKROCK !

[pzanzerl]

thanx Sham64.., brilliant.......

[pitch30320]

Pure playback, the bassist pretend hes lefty I guess ! never seen him play left before

[ZRN959]

Ed And Kym just dont give a shit during this, and it's amazing.

[mayanchild]

Fuck-a-duck, Chris Bailey is friggin amazing!

I arrived in Oz (from the UK) as a sapling in 1978 & Oz was as bogan as any hell hole could be...and THE SAINTS emerged from the desolation, with such fucking incrediable music - mind blowing!!!

Chris Bailey's voice encaptulates a part of my living memories & soul...he was 'stranded far from home' as was I, literally...fanfuckingtastic track!

excuse my ozzie french ;)

[sham64andahalf]

So you like it then : - )

[mayanchild]

Nah, not really...I was just a bit pissed when I wrote it ;-).

Thanks for posting the vid - I LOVE it!

[sunbird2]

I went to school with Chris Bailey 0_o

[sunriseRISE]

@mayanchild .. .. the saints had been going for 5 years by 78- like here on tv 76-- there were plenty of great bands befor you arived-- and then theres the go-betweens 1979 single.. i seen the saints in london and they blew the buzzcocks off the fooking stage-- like right hetre chris is still only 18yrs

[mayanchild]

@sunriseRISE that maybe so sunny, but ya still had to wade thru a minefield of bogan tripe to find the gold...not much has changed really - except now the tripe wears designer clothes & fake tans.

[chinasherry1961]

who ever uploaded this video a big thanks. this was the first punk band i got into. geez 30 years flew by quick

[fractionofthebeast]

i wasnt even born then but im guessing that this clip would have been the first time punk was ever aired on a tv station, then a year or two later came all the over hyped mundane english stuff!

check out other old aussie punk, like razar, thought criminals, victims and suicide squad they are all great!

[fractionofthebeast]

scrap victims i meant scientists, i think

[Brazxz]

Dude only the Sex Pistols were overhyped & perhaps a bit mundane, there were heaps of great British punk bands from the time.

[fractionofthebeast]

i was talking all the virgin record bands that appear on lame best punk album ever comps! but there was some great british punk, but alot sucked aswell!

[gosplash]

What a great song, over and over.Thanks for this. It's precious.

[oldphoque]

Saints were awesome. It`s amazing The Hive`s sound alot like them.

[Seenowevill]

Punk at its best.

[kultured]

Love it. They're completely taking the piss, playing the wrong notes and chords, obviously miming. The Saints were one of the greatest real punk bands, and one of the greatest Aussie bands of all time.

[tiarnapaige]

Gotta luv that fatboy.

[fokkadok]

how many times I listened to this record back in the days. Great song

[theonlytruepunk]

This if fucking brilliant. Can you feel the energy?? This is the shit that made me love punk rock!

[riverratwv]

I agree with the comments, and I love how they just stand there, looking bored, while they help invent a new genre of music...

[R3dPin]

That was the genius of punk they were already over the top of their sight when they were producing their act. If you have ti refer to proto to fresh proto punk; That is it.

[dragonbalm]

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE PUNK SONG

[doezeedoats]

Well that's it. The absolute begin of the begun of punk. They didn't have to know it, and so much the better ...

[nrjan]

One of my fav nrs ever!

great band, good sound, we're playing this song at Queensday at the local club in Arnhem,Holland.

[tomorrettisgay]

it's like they're taking the piss out of the situation, you can tell because ed kuepper plays wrong chords at times and the bas player (kym bradshaw) isnt actually left handed.

[bluespower]

interesting!how punk evolved from the ramones,to british punk(the best)to bands like greenday!
