the The - Helpline Operator (live HQ)

[ChrissieBana]

I'm listening to The The's album Dusk, for the first freaking time, they are so good!!! This is one of my favorites...

[merrycrisis]

Helpline Operator and a few drinks. What's not to like?

[CalenCoffman]

Best song on the album. My dad used to play this song in his truck when I was a liitle kid riding shotgun. That guitar riff is so nastalgic for me.

[NenaSwitch]

matt johnson is einfach ne kewle sau mit sinn für aussergewöhnliche arrangements

[m7lists]

Have to listen to the original, in headphones, late at night

[kazyczka]

...always loved the THE, starting with the name (of course)

[Siddi1976]

I really like it, does a live album exist?

[frodik5]

Simply incredible! Oh, what a Music!

[Deadeye55]

I saw them at the Ryl albt hLL in 1990 The the vrs the world tour, ... The guys a genius. everybody can relate to the lyrics of any song he does.. you know what i mean ..

[Tr00per68]

@Deadeye55 I was at the same gig, fantastic, one of the best, did you get the EP of it? On the CD you can clearly hear me shout "go on matt" .. They recorded it for TV and a live video tape. The best song writer by far..

[jnorek]

SO GOOD.....man, I wish Matt Johnson would get The The back together. Even their semi-forgotten album 'Nakedself' (2000) was incredible. Can't believe it's been ten years since the last album.

[loreztaken]

great THE THE. Enjoying since the first album was out.

[MassTwingles]

Thanks for posting a live version of this song on YT. I've played this cd , Dusk, on a regular basis since it came out in '93. Awesome song, great CD and it sounds as fresh as it did back then. Dusk takes you on a real musical journey of the soul. Simply brilliant!

[mobdeadmeat]

Thanks for posting this performance! You are forgiven for the lack of creativity in the presentation...:)

[fant30]

great artist, great music, where we are without

The The...

[Kedgereeclub]

Great stuff, one of my favourite artists since Soul Mining. Thanks for posting it.

[TheWatowatson]

Have 12 tracks from this show but not sure how to get them on. Infected and Dogs of Lust would go down a storm. Any ideas?

[jokerdan78]

Awesome song , awesome memories of when this originally was released.. love hearing these tunes again.

[noidsnoidsnoids]

primalyscreamed - this is great. I have met very few people who have even heard of this band. BIG kudos to you for posting this!

[listillabcn]

thanks a lot. I write from barcelona. I love The The

[jagandme]

Hey Muchacho: Thanks for posting this video, I have always loved this band and this album. H.P.H. ( Health, Prosperity and Happiness )

[mossmusic]

I got this on a demo tape for free at a goth club in LA years ago. I have loved it ever since! Thanks for posting the live version!

[juleslady]

@mossmusic  me too but in a music mag and dogs of war

[bigworld1001]

This whole album is an emotional roller coaster. I saw these guys with depeche mode @ MSG in NY. Many thanks for posting this!!! Cheers from NYC.

[karimamilena]

What???? They played together???? Love both bands, when was that?

[akabbott]

I was at that show too...don't remember what year, pre-1995

[abracadaverous]

This is my all-time favorite The The song. Thanks for posting it!

[christvswarhol]

what is this taken from? Love the version.

[primalyscreamed]

It's a live version recorded at the brixton academy in London for the BBC.

And Dusk is my favourite album :-)

[punkeruit1965]

@primalyscreamed

personally i like Mind Bomb more (that's one of my fav. albums ever).

still, great song/album...cheers:-)

[thetherrb]

@punkeruit1965 I also think that Mind Bomb is the best album of TheThe, although Dusk is also formidable

[ecolihappens]

This is still one of my all time favorite albums. I am still moved the same as when I first heard it.  Love it and thanks for putting this song up from the album/cd. Whatever...I am old :)

[DRACMA660]

the most beautiful music expresion.

[jimellis123]

Superb. I have a studio version on the DisInfected ep, but first time I've heard this version. Great song from a highly underrated band.

[primalyscreamed]

You shouldpurchase the abum the original is from, Dusk.

[allannothoward]

Hi Paul, 2 things :

1. did you mean "should purchase" (spacebar, Paul!!!)

2. where do you buy this thing you call "the abum"!!!!.

That's 2-1 to me

[theirishtony1]

@primalyscreamed Thanks for this.Ages since i've heard it.Possibly the best track ever by the band.

[elliflint]

[primalyscreamed]
