A Flock of Seagulls - Transfer Affection - Live, 1983

[MartinJamesKeegan]

Great band live, As much as I love AFOS, I still rue the fact that Mike cannot sing lol.

[stephany122667]

One of the best New Wave group/music of the 80's!Woo-Hoo!Love it!New Wave for LIFE! 8-)

[roxie428]

best new wave group of 80s i loved them

[rob80nikki]

To me, a flock fan, this is the best song they actually ever did. this should be the song that they are known for.

Not knocking I Ran, alot of memories with I Ran, but as far as songs go, this one is the best they ever did.

God Bless all of the 80's bands that brought so much good music for the youth to enjoy.

[Max1baL]

¡Súper clásico del synth pop 80'ero!!!

Super classic from the 80's synth pop!!!

[thekevlarhabanero]

Classic.

[reneramosdeNasca]

gran cancion es mi favorito...saludos desde Nasca - Perú ... mike score

[anjuliet]

One of my all-time favorite songs - I could listen to this over and over and never get tired of it :)

[rob80nikki]

@anjuliet amen anjuliet. They never got the full attention they should have gotten, with this song.

The best they did and this from a life long Flock fan. P.S. Anjuliet.... "dont try to tell me that theres left to hide, ""nothing inside"", ...so hard to break the disguise....hold on to your heart" my friend. ;o)

[anjuliet]

@rob80nikki Thanks for your reply :-)

Actually, I still remember the song I first heard from them (The More You Live, The More You Love) - must've been 7 or 8 years old. Another one of my all-time favorites (love the video)! Add Space Age Love Song, Nightmares and Who's That Girl (She's Got It) to the list, too!

[Criddington]

I think they're a lot more appreciated now than they were then. They're seen as pioneers - I don't think New Wave would've taken off if it wasn't for them. A great band and my favourite song from them :D

[healinggreen]

Classsic!!! Nostalgic!!! Majestic!!!

[LordArsehat]

Flock of dead-beats!

[clintxoxox]

[alddigital]

[geordie58]

hi guy`s

watching this concert on betamax video at the mo. one question ? are the people watching this concert dead???

[Vengeance31]

No their about 50 years old now, just their soul is dead.

[JRGouda]

My first concert was A Flock of Seagulls at Pine Knob, outside of Detroit. Very happy to find these clips. I once had it on VHS after they aired this as a Saturday night concert. Is there more to this show?

[rickardoac]

A Flock of Seagulls forever

[gueta1305]

I love this music, after my great memories

[mrd6376]

Beautiful song. One of the most underrated bands of all time.

[EscapeNewJersey]

They where huge in the early 1980's!

[dccircuitboy]

@mrd6376 SO TRUE!!! 

[propaganda63]

Great live perfromance from AFOS. This is my favorite song from them. Thanks for the post.

[CHPerika]

FABBBBBBBBBBB

[sosimo123]

eso es lo que yo llamo musica !!!

[davidtaylorrose]

I wonder if Paul has accidentally hit his guitar against something when he moves side to side and back and forth

[ashingtoon]

Saw AFOS when they supported Altered Images in Newcastle 1982 they were brilliant. This is a class class song. Yes the music sounds poor but you have all sorts of gizmos these days to boost even live songs, look at the X-Factor lot there shite really.

[Kammler03]

Thanx for sharing !!

Indeed : a very great tune !!!

[imbestia]

ORO.

[EstoEsLaNASA]

oro PURO.

[preciousbash]

Saw AFOS when I was 14 at Jones Beach Theater in Long Island NY. Aaaaaah the good ol' days.

[jimbo377]

I'm MADLY IN LOVE with all the people from the 80s posting here. It makes for a very cozy atmosphere. I wasn't around then, and I've regretted it ever since I was one second old. I knew something felt wrong coming out.

[Nevawake]

coolmate. Good. Made me smile and thats hard to do. Yes thin king persons songs. Sensitivity, feeling. Im glad i wasnt born a pychopath coz i then wouldnt feel anything much. maybe.

[aaesme]

great comment :) lol

[theBESTelvis]

lol lol you a foggot jimbo ?  haha

[DJALLThe1st]

Paul sang back up and the opening on the original video. check back with me I'm going to try to load it.

[CASApiaCAFEcafe]

my favorite songs by this lads.

Starting to tera me apart.

[midgetdrunkman]

Whatever kind of bass frank is using, it just don't sound good. He needs to be using that other one he has. does anyone know what kinda bass is in this video?

[SBennetIII]

Also, they put the final dagger on disco´s heart

[SBennetIII]

New Wave started because of them. They were 100% original, not like today bands that all are fabricated or copycats..

[Jerry93cs]

oh man this is so good performance of transfer affection i cant stop watching it

[MishuTaste]

Foreign legion caps. Buttons. Tied Scarves. Polo shirts.

[rx8revolution]

Ich habe die Band am 18.12.1982 in der Dortmunder Westfalenhalle live erlebt und war damals sehr beeindruckt. Die LP's und Maxi's lege ich heute noch gerne auf. Schade, dass die Band in der neuen Besetzung nicht in der nächsten Zeit in Deutschland auftritt. Würde mich sehr freuen.

[Misfitsmusic]

"I live experienced and was impressed the volumes at the 18.12.1982 in that Dortmund Westphalia hall at that time very. The LP's IT and Maxi's it I put on today yet gladly. Would damage that the volumes in the new occupation does not appear in Germany in the near future. Very would please me."

[mickscore]

This 'translation' is very much like in Flying High II!

[iloveyourstory]

Mike needs to hang up the AFOS name already...hes too old now. This vid was good.

[danielseagulls]

EXELENTE cancion

[medaluvsu]

Paul. I like his jeans, lol.

[OneManMusic]

Yea, alot of people wear em.

[medaluvsu]

Hey, ur so right, my bunch used to wear 501's with legs sewn tight and then wear our penny loafers, we thought we were so "choice" We wore flourescent everything socks,skinny ties and bows in our hair. A bunch of my friends had the "Paul" haircut, even me. LOL! Just fun to remember the eighties! Paul was fun to watch! and I thank you for noticing particularly my comment. Have the best day ever! xoxo-Meda

[sfumato1002]
