COMSAT ANGELS - Do The Empty House / Independence Day - (part 3)

[vanian]

iainwish - The U2 gig must have been 83 as 81 was the October tour and Sunday Bloody Sunday wasn't written until the following album 'War' in 1983. Comsats were brill. Would love to see the full gig.

Haha, this is funny.

Stephen Fellows starts his introduction in Dutch, but then realizes that he is in germany.

Great video, though!

PLEASE post the rest of this show. It's really great. Thanks!

[batterycock]

wheres the rest of this concert? c'mon, be brave, upload it!

[iainwish]

Saw The Comsats support U2 at this time - '81 - in Glasgow - U2 had grown their hair long and were wearing bad clothes and moaning on about Sunday Bloody Sunday - on the night The Comsats blew them away...... U2's world tour has grossed £750 million so far .....twats!

@iainwish I was at Tiffany's too (for the Comsats) and couldn't agree more. Even then Bono was a patronising wanker - I remember him waving a tartan scarf and going on about us 'having the same blood'. As you say....twats!

Classic. This song had a really literal meaning for me - parents departed this earth - was alone in their large house....feeling the need to get out - 'I think this place is getting pretty grim - don't you, don't you?'

'We've been living here fore too may years - this place has it's day - now it's time to leave' - 'got to get out of here!'

[goldbugnz]

ferking awesome! Thanks for posting. Is there any more of this gig?

[comsat1000]

Very nice! saw them just after this time. Memories...

[arl2839]

How on earth do they all start Do The Empty House at the same time with apparently no count-in?

[beyondthebeat]

Play it at full speed and you will hear a count-in..... ....it also increases joy.

[Leeuwerikoranje]

This is so amazing. I saw them too around this time. Also saw them again a month ago, and basically nothing al all has changed! Sometimes time really does not exist.

[tychoSNM]

Independence Day sounds different without the Comsat chorus! ;-) My Comsat friends will know what I mean.

[tallforadwarf]

Yeah, we out-sang Steve, lol
