Almost (Live 1981) - OMD

[matteach2]

OMD was using live percussion in the early days, DM used a tape or drum machine. Yet, Dm in the later years used live percussion. Confusing.

great dancing

[aphonik23]

All of the clips from this concert are amazing; the quality of the performances, video, and sound is excellent, especially considering this was recorded 30 years ago. After stumbling across these videos on YouTube, I was happy to learn that the Drury Lane concert can be found in its entirety on the DVD that comes with the recent reissue of Architecture & Morality, which I just ordered from Amazon.

Beautyful song

[80s2Heart]

Another live version that sounds so much better than the recorded stuff. What gives?

[abagail4me]

Brilliant performance-1979- these guys were so ahead of the game.

[TheSodiumhaze]

Id kill for a copy of this dvd! How good is this!

[depechemodevilla]

This is excellent! I didnt think they would be a great live band

@depechemodevilla

I saw this band 5 times from 1985 through 1990 in Los Angeles...also opened for them one show...and they put on an awesome show......if any band members are looking at this, I was the one holding the letters ELECTRICITY at Universal Amp and opened for them at Key club os Angeles....Paul signed my CD's

[zavatar9]

[PLswintus]

This guy is gooood dancer :-)

[carlosarios]

Does anybody knows why Andy plays the bass with the strings upside down?

[felly1000]

Andy is right-handed, but originally learned to play bass guitar on a left-handed model. As a result, he plays with the strings "upside down"

[xlakebeachx]

That's awesome! This footage is great. Thanks for putting it up.

[garybh2112]

Yes, he's an aussie

[ajittffcure]

Wow! You are right. I didn't notice that initially despite the fact that I play bass! Maybe it is because he could bring out certain sounds from it. Probably a more thicker sound. I am not sure about this though.

[imjustinb]

thanks a lot for uploading this! i didn't think i would find it.

[19chimp24]

saw them on this tour in hamilton canada great show

[billus1066]

same as ... it's hammersmith

[ianoreilly]

It's The Theatre Royal Drury Lane 1981, that was the gig released on DVD. I'd imagine that's where this has come from.

They didn't play Hammersmith Odeon until '84.

[ajittffcure]

Fantastic! I love the arrangements on this song. The bass lines, the keyboard melodies and counter-melodies and the experimental drumming. Very well shot video as well. I have got OMD's first album. But this live version is slightly better than the recorded version.

[Enigmaticland]

Though the band hated it, the best version for me it's the one produced by Martin Hannett.

[arthurmex]

I hoped much to be able to see this one concert with this quality. This is my favorite from their first album; Thank´s!

[tammykay2000]

Good song! Brillant!

[lewys93]

Although it's still good, I don't think it has the amazing quality it does does otherwise live.

[palinlfc]

Brilliant

[Enigmaticland]
