Early Bauhaus on New York Band Stand.

[bubblesian]

I saw Bauhaus a few times in Liverpool in 1980. What a band...... monochrome lighting, dark atmosphere and totally unique music. Definitely the original goth band. Very influenced by Bowie and the Banshees, though took it to their own level. Saw them again at a reunion in Manchester in the noughties (can't remember year) and were equally brilliant.

[brandoncipelle]

what a BAND and song writer well hell there all really good,

[nondescriptman]

thank god daniel ditched that ugly ass guitar!

[mrblandone]

what year was this performance and what was the venue?? It sounds reminds me a bit of what I would hear at 8-BC in the east village.

[lapsiquisarcaica1]

so cool

[BabysGotTheRabies]

Pete was such an entertaining spaz :D I like how he always seemed to make a minimal effort at miming the songs when they were on TV shows.

[halifuckinfan]

Did this ever become a real song? If so what's it called? The bass is KILLER

[djhfan38]

Yes it is an actual song it's called Stigmata Martyr.

[djhfan38]

damouj, I think you need to lay off the drugs and come back to a bit of clarity. I think everyone on here knows it's not live. I have this LP too thank you very much, but I don't need to get on my high horse about it. I feel sorry for you thank you have to put down others to make yourself feel better.

[shadowgeek101]

some of you people need to fucking relax.

And anyone who puts My Chemical Romance and Green Day and Fall Out Boy in the same category as Peter Murphy or Bauhaus , go slit your wrists.

[djhfan38]

I couldn't agree with you more!

[emile235]

@shadowgeek101 and I'll watch

[SleekGothic]

@shadowgeek101 anyone that would do that does not know anything about Real music!

these Emo and "Pop punk" bands are a joke compared to Bauhaus, SIouxsie, SOM, The Cure,

Strange Boutique, Klan of Xymox, Mephisto Walz, and all the pther old school bands!

[hoosierscot]

@shadowgeek101 One of the more intelligent posts I've read. EVER!

[misskill3r]

so...this is the first ever time listening to these guys....im really loving the bass.

[KINZOisHERE]

I recommend you to check an album of them called "mask"

and the live album called "press the eject and give me the tape"

good day

[petermurphreak]

I could equally NAIL Peter to a "cross" as well as to my "bed"!!! Either way, I'd be giving him head til he came in my mouth!!! Fuuuuuck!!! to be the RECIPENT of such fucking SWEET/NUTRITIOUS "NECTAR"!!!.... My idea of fucking PARADISE!!!

[PataponRose]

Christ, what kind of guitar is that? I thought he played a telecaster.

[damouj]

25 people responded to this "video"

I am the first one that recognized immediately that the audio is taken

directly from the LP...

the video is sincced up to fool retards like you that this is live

none of you "fans" own this LP, I bought it in 1980...you are all a bunch of posers with hot topic goods to identify you as "punk rock" or "alternative"...my morning shit has more knowledge of music in it than you will ever know...i hate your fucking guts while feeling sorry for you

[tttexter]

Hey damouj

Whats your problem? Everyone will hear and see that it is playback. But this video shows the atmosphere of their shows back in the day better than every other video here on youtube. I saw them once around 79/80 and it was exactly like in this video.

[petermurphreak]

Yeah Peter and Danny are my fucking LORD and CO-LORD!!! Back then Bauhaus were ICONS in the making!!! No shit!!!

[3kcew]

Complete shit? Go surf some orgy, then go fuck yourself whilst asphyxiating, Michael Hutchence style.

[Brock2097]

growling bass

[hchano]

not their best, no. should check out their other stuff tho, they are pretty amazing.

[ArturoVergaraM]

Are you stupid? Or perhaps you're just a poser who thinks goth is Marylin Manson and Larimosa and Nightwish.

[lalamouse77]

@GarmaFiday I'm sure they think you're complete shit, too:)

[forever6more]

Wow. :O

[petermurphreak]

This song is definetly one of my Bauhaus favorites!!! It's just DARK and PROVOCATIVE!!! Then looking at delicious Peter is like my GOD has arrived and I wanna run my hands and mouth all over him!!! To prove that I really WORSHIP him he can FEED me his MEAT and give me his precious SEED which'd be like a NECTAR going inside my mouth!!! Sweet and creamy!!! Slurp!!!

[caledonianbitch]

This is really a bit classless.

[petermurphreak]

You must've "mistaken" me for someone who "gives a fuck" about what others here fucking "think"!!! Lol!!!

[petermurphreak]

Peter never fucking ceases to amaze me!!! This man is like a fucking VOLCANO, whose "hot lava" you certainly would like to have all over you!!!!

[videoshark69]

Who cares? It's Peter Murphey and it's Stig Martyr!!!!

[jenlikeshorses]

O_O

holy shit.

the crappy quality makes it even better! How could they "perform" if Peter didnt even have a mic? lol

[karyboberry]

peter is so skinny in this, like a slip of paper. its too bad the quality sucks.

[doesnthurt2try]

this sounds spooky yeah alright... looks live but he's not even holdin a mike so,... yeah but its still cool.

[onuphrius]

My, it was freaking good, even if I couldn't help to shout when I realized the end was missing. Too bad, it's always that part that gives me the chills, but anyway, many thanks for uploading this video. I can never get enough of this song, it's just mindblowingly great.

[doesnthurt2try]

man this is almost better than the shadows thing.. the sound is extra thick and ghouly... man what a fricken heavy gloomy sound..they had to scare the SHIT outta who ever back then... this is one of those don't move a muscle performances if you were they to see this one...geez..

[victorsaint2]

cool!

[bartonfinkinNY]

this would be punk, yes?

[subculturalvomit]

no it wouldnt but its damn goos though.alot of punks adopted goth.if music is good its good,no dispute.

[chargergirl85]

I feel literally tranported by this video! It's a time machine to those amazing days-gone-by and I LOVE IT! Thanks for posting!!!!
