I remember when this was on TV and I wasnt aloud to stay up and watch it as I was 11 at the time….always stuck in my craw….cheers for putting this up….made my day!
This is a real find! I taped it on my BETAMAX video - think the show was called 'Rockstage??' Anyway, mind blowing performance of Genetix! Many thanks for uploading this - and who cares about the sound quality.
Genetix!! Out of this world.Goose bumps down the spine.One of my favourite live numbers of all time.Long live the Stranglers.Seeing them again in March.
I'm going to challenge Dumb theatersr Jorcan Rudumb on to this site . Greenfield modelled himself on Brian Wilson but surpassed.The only man who could challlenge Rudess isn.t bothered. It would be interesting......Genetix.. Down in the ....
Just can't be pigeon holed to the chagrin of the dismissive, intimidated and dismissive music journos they upset through their careers. I know one thing! They're an inescapable cult. Once they make a fan of you they have your soul and body for life! I should know. And it's great!
This is something that only a true stranglers fan can appreciate. there is never any 'backing' instrument, or 'tempo' addition - every instrument was giving 164% - STRANGLERS!
JJ Burnel-one of the best ever bass-players from the UK-along with JP Jones,JohnWetton,JohnEntwhistle,MickKarn,PeterHook-this is bloody good despite the understandable quality-thx for posting
yeah, i found the rest once i checked your channel. nice one, one of my fave stranglers broadcasts. i wore out my tape watching it.
if only that weird rpm show with andy batten-foster would make an appearance. it had two songs live from a bristol granary gig every week for eight weeks. brilliant.
BRUCE. SHEILA.
