THE GO BETWEENS "Right Here"

[Meandgenevieve]

Yes a great Aussie band we loved a lot. Robert and Grant did indeed have a Lennon/ McCartney kind of balance. Some less known tracks which are some of my absolute faves are "That Way", "On My Block" and "Don't Let Him Come Back", those tracks are all great!

[pewpbubblez]

Edward Norton lookin ass muthafucka

[TheKzag]

one of the BEST brissy bands ever, saw them mant times live

[MrFcordeiro1]

Perhaps best Australian band ever...Only rivaled by the Triffids.

[dancing0being]

Very good!!

[footscraysteve]

Aw ,look at ol grant ,his in luvvy wuvvy wif amanda,Thank christ i wasnt there when they went through there "painfull separation" Broken hearts are for arseholes

[MrJeepsters]

Grant Mc lennan était un formidable songwritter

[Papdog1]

Five years gone now. Time passes quickly. RIP GW

[brionesr1]

This is one of the reasons why New Wave will never die...

[tasboli23]

Rest In Peace.....

[4555dx]

Love the Go-betweens.

[thelostwind8]

might just be my all-time favorite music video

[VictorOctavian]

too good to be massive

[halfjapanesenirvana]

seeing these videos over 20 years after becoming a fan of their music i, for the first time, get to see the people behind the music. they're beautiful and funny, and seem to genuinely love the act of even faking the music for the camera. go-betweens music is adult stuff, with the kind of craft you don't notice until you're mature enough to value economy, honesty. which isn't to say they don't have their flourishes, they are an orchestra unto themselves, but nothing ever seems unnecessary.

[pachinko32]

LAME!!!!!!!

GAY!!!!!

[dobbsiancant]

@pachinko32 yes.yes you are.fucking twat.

[clivemendonca100]

@dobbsiancant  hit the nail on the head there dobbs. great video

[maida1982a]

I think Lindy is one of the coolest people on our planet. AND she was in The Go Betweens. That puts her in her own league of cool.

[vash3058]

im glad to see "right here" in youtube it so hard to find.. the real "new wave".. rip grant we miss you specially of this song.. peace

[bobbs2272]

In my top 5 ever. gorgeous

[pastel86z]

one of the most underrated bands. They will always have a place in my heart. saw them at the troubador in l. A and had a brief chat with robert. this is one of my favorites.

[OnceWasRStrathfield]

i always thought the bassplayer (sorry I forgot his name, I know he is important yada yada) looked like a 14 year old boy...

[sydissyd]

i miss you grant

come home soon

[trvlr1961]

awesome f'n aussie band....i miss em.....grant is a look alike of actor ed norton....neh?....too bad he died so young...he had so much to give and live

[trvlr1961]

amazing....i miss them....they were soooooooooooooooooooocoooooooo­oooooooooooool......

[trvlr1961]

fuckin awesome aussie band.....I miss em.....

[transonicbuoy1]

Love Rob. Saw him in London in mid 1990s. But the vid is crap. Forster was never an Ian Mac, or Morrissey.

[fiveorsixgirls]

he died in 2006, it should be mentioned, not this year.

[aussiebluemax]

who cares if the rest of the world has not heard these great aussie bands all that matters is we heard them.

[trvlr1961]

@aussiebluemax

[maurrod]

thanks for sharing the great video (very funny by the way) and especially the comments. it helps a lot to understand better

[chuckschilling]

It's funny to see Robert doing his very best Boris Karloff impersonation here.

[psYnel]

Grant <3

[outpostoutpost]

we miss you Grant

[pdaddy1703]

Last year on the anniversary of Grant's passing they did a retrospective on ABC in Sydney, and i cried half the way home as i drove to the Central Coast, some for the passsing of a genius, some for what the songs meant to me at certain stages of my life, but mostly for never have had the opportunity to see them live. another greatly underrated Aussie band, like Hunters & Collectors. We do some absolutely brilliant music in this country that the rest of the world misses out on. bit of a shame

[micncue]

I know what you mean about "the rest of the world" missing out on Australian talent. i say the same thing every day here in the US. many times i've gotten lucky to find music like Replacements, Lucinda Williams, oh and your great Kasey Chambers. "Like A River." Wow........

[mushroomhead777]

RIP Grant McLennan. We miss you :(

[diamondjimlegend]

I cried too - Do not feel alone

[chuckschilling]

Thank you for posting and for your production info! I am one of many who misses the GB's enormously.

[Nigelxman]

Grant looks so genuinely happy here. :-) And Amanda Brown is the most beautiful woman in the world to as far as I'm concerned. Her slightly goofy billion dollar smile here wins me over every time I watch this. And all this brings me to one question...WHY weren't the Go Betweens bigger in Australia than they were?

[dfrony]

Totally Wonderful, Miss you Grant. R.I.P.

[shouter1979]

the go-betweens sing the loves and joys and passions and sorrows of my life. they are wonderful.

[kgs42]

....lovely band.......reliably joyous

[Guedingen]

Great, many thanks. Is Cattle and Cane knocking around anywhere?

[indevelopment]

I remember being 12/13 and sometimes allowed to stay up and watch rage. I had no real idea what alternative was, what indie was, I had no idea why EON-FM didn't play this every hour.

It's majestic, I discovered this entire band through this song, I probably discovered "other" music through this clip. I remember exactly where I was when I heard the news about GW.

[dartmouthhoop]

These guys were a staple on my shows on WCHC (Go Cross!) in the 80's.

[BassAceReturns]

Beautiful chorus...

[hooskerdu1]

One of my all-time favorite bands. They just wrote one beautiful song after another. So very sad to hear of Grant's passing, but he will live on in these wonderful songs. Robert and Grant were my Lennon and McCartney.

[DAVIDWATERBOY1967]

Fantastic song and video from a fantastic band. Very much under-rated.God Bless!

[maremagnus]

Ah!

Never heard of this one.

The good stuff is so hard to find!

As the same level of their very well known "there was anything I could do?"

Thank you for sharing!

[gardabetbet]

one of my fave..

[gardabetbet]

RIP! thnks for the memorable musics.

[antiquercus]

I don't understand how I totally failed to notice this band for all those years...did they not get much airplay?

[drfuturity]

I'm not from Oz so I'm no expert, but to my knowledge they were always on indie labels, so naturally they probably weren't getting much airplay. Common occurrence for brilliant bands...

[prolo67]

@anti

nope,they didn´t,but they were fucking great.

you are australian and didn´t notice?shame on you!!;)

[CJARCHIVES]

Thank you WFDU Teaneck-New York City 89 FDU FM for turning me on to this wonderful band.

[maurrod]

Lovely song and great video

[lightflower]

Just discovering the GBs,they are pretty classy.

This is a lovely song,thanks for the video.

We need more music like this now..

[bachelorkisses]

Saw the band a few years ago at the Big Day Out, Melbourne. It was one of the most memorable gigs I have witnessed. So happy to see them perform live. A truly classy act! Best Australian band ever!

[zee339]

:09 is a man, :12 is a girl

[bierbob]

All are soooo sweet.....

The best of the 8o s.

[muymoderno]

Australian finest band ever!!!!

[dartmouthhoop]

beautiful song...thank you for both making and uploading here

[armadillo01]

you got a great performance from Grant when he's singing in the plain white tee. As with many other things, music videos work best when they keep things simple.

[freudastaire]

amanda is beautiful

[oleshatterbutt]

yeah,she looks just exactly like my friend Katrin Firuzeh,save for the blonde hair!!Remarkable

[Trixieali]

Great song!! Heard this song on NPR a few days ago. Took me back to highschool and trying to tape this song off of the radio for my latest mix-tape. I feel officially old now!

[prolo67]

@Trixieali

so do i;)great song by the way!

[TheUnnamedGent]

You made this, and years later uploaded to youtube? That's awesome.

[PSjavier]

Gorgeous song. Ed Norton Jr. could play Grant in a biopic of TGBs.

[Anotherartist]

I suggest Kevin Spacey hehe ;). such a beautiful song

[StonefieldJim4]

Forster: terrifying. Brown: gorgeous. Song: exquisite.

[smydie]

thanks for that, would you still recommend the beaulieu 4008 for making clips? thanks

[gobtv]

To be honest, you'd be better with a 16mm Bolex or an HDcam.

[MaaaarrJ]

@gobtv you made this clip with them?what were they like?wow you lucky bastard lol,were they funny?what did they do in between takes?what was grant like?so many bloody questions lol

[firehorsecancer]

this song goes with my fav " Bachelor's Kiss"

[seintzeit]

sheesh. great tune.

[philagar]

l saw the go betweens about 20 times in this line up .they where one of australian best

indie rock bands RIP GW McClennan.

thanks for the music

[alvinx102]

Thx for posting this up....hard to find classic wxb102 music (the station that dares to be different)...Everything evolve here, long live the new wave music...cheers!!!

[AbbaGabbaHey]

Wonderful, wonderful stuff! Why weren't they massive?

[gobtv]

One of life's imponerables, given how passionately they were/are loved by so many.

[kevinherbert]

Simply because the music is formulaic pap. Sort of like Abba without a hook. The GB's are yet another example of the music industry adage that no-one ever lost money by underestimating public taste.

[jjj7477]

unforgettable music....

[CommieRedM]

great stuff, never knew much of the Go-Betweens before, despite living through this era. Great that this suff is posted here so people like me can appreciate great gems

[myweekbeatsyouryear]

not much competition? no, only the triffids, the church, the reels, the birthday party, etc...

[JetJockey87]

Yeah and the church are still going strong, I won tix to the saturday night before christmas gig with them and chris isaak, wasnt too bad.

[asopos8]

great song!thanks for sharing

[ricoislaw]

thanks for posting..

[ADeeperBlue]

Must have been great to work with them, I think I have this one on the re-release of one of their cds

[peepingpom]

The best Aussie band ever - I saw them on the Tallulah tour when this was out - now 20 years ago!

[wallaby777]

Best BAND ever. No need to limit it to Aussies - I mean there is not much competition, is there?

[TheOrchids]

excellent stuff, check out THE ORCHIDS on youtube, here the song "another saturday night" as featured on an episode of FAlCON BEACH

[djimi66]

I loved this song when it first came out, so much - & I still do!! And, as I recall, Big Dick Wilkins played it a little on the old Australian MTV (eww!!).

Thanks for posting it. Jim

[odyshape]

What an adorable video. Thanks for posting!

[andres6868]

very funny video...sorry for Grant's demise

[paranormalhandy]

Beautiful. So glad I saw them in Glasgow two years ago. RIP Grant.

[ClownPoet]

I have been a Go Betweens fan ever since I put the needle down on the first track of Tallulah - 'Right here'. It instantly lifted me and was followed by track after track of true greatness. It was an experience ive only ever had with albums like Blood on the Tracks and Hurricane. Then I bought 'Horsebreaker Star' (mainly coz I liked the sleeve)..GM's solo masterpiece. I still take this album with me on every journey I make. Thanks you, Grant. RIP

[jantoferreira]

Right Grant McClennan Here. Fabulous Five.

[sjl62]

"whatever [pox] i have is yours"

[KeithMcIntosh]

Amazing! I never even heard of The Go Betweens until I went to see Teenage Fanclub in Valencia last November and they were playing-now I'm hooked. To have seen both Scotland's and Australia's best ever bands in the same night remains a life highlight. Norman Blake and Gerry Love from TFC were as stunned as the rest of us when we heard. We love you Grant!!!

[asdffd]

That must have been one kick ass show!

[fluidsonly]

Thanks gobtv! I have such happy memories of this happy song. Vale Grant

[jneomarvin]

Oh, and thanks to the director for bringing this here. I tip my hat to you.

[gobtv]

Thanks for your kind remarks too.

[jneomarvin]

This is a great example of a video showcasing all the different personalities in a band. And Robert Forster just can't help doing his utmost to upstage Grant McLennan, bless his heart.

[tommysax70]

Even after all these years I still can't understand why the Go-B's were never big, but at least those who loved them can cling onto the memories without them being tarnished by constant MTV rotation. I think 'Spring Rain' is my fave vid tho - sorry !!

[gobtv]

I like Spring Rain too...Robert V's dancing in the rain.

[ceurov]

" but dont you think that for one in your life it should be like this " .. am laughing and crying at this song at the same time - RIP GM , genius.

[fanihelvete]

love this song. the video too. so silly, yet touching.

[easternangels]

Not until recently did I realize how lucky I was to see Grant and Robert perform onstage in Philadelphia on June 25, 1999. I left the Elvis Costello show at the Tower early to make it to Grant and Robert's show!I've danced alone in my home to Right Here more than any other tune in my lifetime. "Your songs are timeless, your time is through, but Grant, I'm keeping you RIGHT HERE" Kiss, Patrick

[tylerglenn]

miss him lots. thanks for the vid.

[gobtv]

Indeed, we did all have a blast making this video.

[donny6pac]

been go between fan since i heard this song playing in a record store years ago on melrose ave. in los angeles,first time seeing the video though, it looks like they had a blast doing it, what a fantastic band.

[jejelad]

i like this song a lot too but the production on this record sucks. i just heard the roughly recorded demo of this and "caught out" and they were awesome.

[MC2111]

LAways loved this song, like so many others from Grant and Robert...I will always keep his music right here too! Will be very missed after so many years in my life!

[panicsum]

Its so strange how the death of somebody you didnt personally know, can affect you so deeply.

I will miss dear Grant

[sebastienar]

Many thanks for this, grant has gone and so my teenage years, but this lightning song remain and so those touching scenes.

[fantasticmorrissey]

i watch this video every single day,that reminds me

how sweet of Go-Betweens,goodbye my dear Grant,see you

in the otherside!

Love

Dee from hong kong

[anthony74]

For gobtv : I will for sure check their albums and music.Where i live there's a little shop and i think to remember seeing some vinyls of them.But i didn't even care about.Thought it was a pop female sort of band like The Bangles(i still love Bangles though),but i was just checking for hard rock stuff.Thanks man.

[AlMad468]

So devestated to hear about Grant's passing. He really did bring a beautiful sentimentality to the GBs. RIP Grant. :(

[gobtv]

Anthony, you're not a jerk at all, and you now have a lifetime to become acquainted with one of the truly great songwriting partnerships of all time. I hope the songs become as close to your heart as they have to mine.

Nick

[anthony74]

I didnt even know about this band's music,i just knew their name of hearing it often..what jerk i am.They sound fresh and very nice.And he looked charismatic.

[gobtv]

Absolutely devasted. A real gent and a giant. RIP.

[clamtard]

RIP Grant
