Lee's Palace, Toronto. They played this live that night, I walked on stage to dance and I kinda scared them. We got to meet them after the show and they were very friendly and great to chat with. A memorable show!
OMG! I love this band and they TOTALLY nailed this cover! I heard Radiohead do Headmaster Ritual but this is phenomenal! I love how they resolve the end and you hear the major chord come in right where it could have all along. Great job! I miss the ocean :(
The people arguing in these comment spaces, and saying the shit that they do, your the kind of people I would kick the shit out of. Discriminating against homosexuals, you guys need a fucking kick to the face. Seriously grow the fuck up. -.-
Saw them at The Knitting Factory in NYC back in 06. Thought I was seeing things when I saw the add. Dragged my friend who was a casual fan of theres and now he can't wait to see the m again, as for me, they are one of my top 10 favs and hope they play in nyc real soon. I think they did Led Zeps Stairway To Heaven beside Love Vigilants and this song when I saw them, man I WAS BLOWN AWAY. thanx for posting.
@Ksbweapon16 i agree this was yet another band in the 80s you could listen to alone .dance ,sing and feel beautiful,even if you were not,the soaring guitar transported you away from the fact you were a dork.,and you new every word and could sing perfect,

Hey simsolla, you look like a fucking cocksucker, you motherfucking twat. Nothing wrong with bowl cuts. Dudes like you, with dicks shoved up your bunghole, are the real problem. Go FUCK YOURSELF.
Wow meccaturbo you sure like that little word. Just because you fantasize about rubbing dicks with Bobby Mittan does not justify your homosexual rampage.
@milkmoron, no fantasizing here. I wouldn't dare fantasize about a practice that you take part in. Must be nice living down in mommy's basement while you invite your gay partners over via the back door (literally and figuratively), so they can anally rape you up your rectum hole. Nice job, you loser.
@milkmoron, your name says it all, you fucking milk moron. You really are a loser. No job, living in mommy's basement, watching gay porn all night long, and resorted to a life of anal drilling of the gay boys in your neighborhood.
Again with the living in the basement and gay stuff. Admit it to yourself. You need help closet fag.
By the way,there is something you should know. I am your mother and you are grounded. No supper and go to your room. And stop beating off to those muscle man magazines.... my homo son.

@milkmoron, what's up, faggot boy? It's okay that you take it up the ass - nothing out of the ordinary for a weirdo like you. If you keep pounding other faggots in the ass, they are going to use a cigar clipper and cut your dick off. It'll be a like a circumcision, only a little more painful.
Hey meggaturdo, you really do have an infatuation with ass sex. You've mentioned it in almost every stupid comment you've made. You should change it up a bit and comment on your love for fellating Steve Lau and having him blow his load into your bowl cut.
@swizzlestikk, now I know just what a pervert you are....you were banging my sister in the ass in the other room. I am going to call child protective services on you.
Excellent, anyone have a FLAC or .wav of this that isn't compressed? Youtube makes audio sound like the sonic equivalent of a rice cake but even so, I'm blown away by the performace. One of the most underrated groups of the 80s.
Es que la rola en si es tan buena que es casi imposible darle un toque de originalidad, por lo que no queda de otra mas que hacerle los honores dignamente, tal como lo hace OB
What a great cover !
Thanks for sharing this outstanding song.

I'm curious as to how you know what simsolla looks like. I imagine you were looking upward with his balls on your chin.
I am also surprised by your language... I thought homosexuals had a better vocabulary. I guess you're a failure as a homo as well as a deuschbag.
